Sumnabich, it's really nice to have you driving the chariot again Michael. I love the BR's and vent my GAS thru your posts. I'll get to a Firebird one of these days but am going in the reverse direction lately and focusing entirely on my Yamaha.

+1 on the Cave Dweller. It was surprisingly good especially given I'm not a big fan of PT delays.

What a great video. That is the best sounding vibe I've heard to date. It seems to totally nail the classic vibe sounds and toss in a lot of options. Right about the time you figure there are things in life that can't be improved on...

I could never get used to the Bourns for the same reason. You can practically turn them just by thinking hard enough. I think they might make a higher friction version.

Looking very nice!

I suppose you could hit the best of both worlds with a blank tele plate installed to flatten out the ledge created under the vol knob. That would look cool but to be honest I'm digging the color combo and stark look.

Yeah, my bad, I completely misread that. Carry on :)

Been thru this and have had this option anxiety. Few things need fixing up front. Narrow it down to changing ONE pedal at a time. If that won’t do it is it the amp, the board, or you? Not to be insulting at all but are you looking for unicorn sounds or are you that far out of whack from your...

And if I haven't mentioned it before, jeebuz it's nice to have you back in action...

You're killing me here. You tell me what you want and I'll make it happen. I work for a music store...

Damn that was too much fun. Few things I noticed: your chops are showing. Some tasty playing there. I always thought fuzz into vibe/chorus/phase/flange sounded too "contrived" if that makes any sense. I think someone else around here described it as synthesizer. But in reviewing your video...

That's crazy. I can't get past those wild looking pots and switch. Even the LED looks like military hardware. I initially had reservations about refinishing a vintage pedal (like respraying a '59) but given the original looked like a$$ and you did such a killer job I think this was a great move.

I really like coated strings on my acoustic because it tends to sit for long periods of time and I have very acidic sweat (I can't have gold plated parts). The nice part is I could go back to Slinkies or GHS Boomers and be perfectly happy. I get a bit more longevity out of The NY's but my...

Damn fine build.

Ditto, with the hair. Mine started waving in my 20's. Waving goodbye...

I know squat about bass but when I bought one, I just knew I loved the sound of a Jazz...

The tuning is good on my Yamaha but with the NYXL's once they're stretched I could pound railroad spikes with the guitar and it would be in tune. I've switched from 11's to the 10 set. I have a tendency to have a death grip on the neck and the 11's helped me struggle a bit so I don't over...

Slinkies for decades and then GHS Boomers for decades and then the store I repair at turned me onto NYXL's a while back and they're stoopid good. Coated something or other for the acoustic to keep them bright. My sweat could dissolve tractor parts.

I picked up one of these as an alternative https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07RVMZNYR?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1 and while it's definitely not a Hakko it's nothing to sneeze at. It's a ton cheaper and you won't be able to blame anything on your soldering iron with this thing. Bonus, I...

What a great looking build and a very well thought out build report. The deflector has been on my board since it first came out.
