What's in the mailbox? 📬 📦

I will never understand why people cut directly on countertops.
In the old days, they cut it directly from the plant or animal and consumed it. Later, they discovered if you oscillate something at a high enough frequency, the molecules go into hyperdrive and create friction. Somehow, counter-tops fit in there…I’ve forgotten how though.
 
I try to keep my purchases from StewMac down to once every 5 years......the plus side is that their tools really are lifetime investments.
That’s the only reason I’ve bought from them in the past I just need the tools and if something breaks i get a new one.
 
Got a Madamp kit on the way from Musikding, dip my toes in :)

Also tickets to see Ween in Boston.
Bruhhhh I’m so tempted to get tix to the Boston shows. I scored tix to the Halloween show, and I want to go on the Nov 1 show too, but I have classes on Tuesday nights and the beacon shows are absurdly expensive anyway— I got the cheapest presale tix on Tuesday for the Halloween show, and for three tickets in far-away seats it cost as much as the three night general admission pass plus two balcony seats from the port Chester run earlier this year.

I know, it’s nuts. But I mean I’m coming from the west coast of Canada lol. Gonna Hail Mary it and hope I get NY tickets from some people when I’m in Boston!

The presale was apparently only for floor seats (the ticketweb system was super confusing so I thought I paid a ton for total nosebleeds (you couldn’t straight up select your seats or anything, just the price tier and I picked the cheapest), but I’m actually in row N of the orchestra. The balcony seats are apparently like $40, and there really isn’t a single bad seat in the house. If you wind up going on Halloween, lmk— I’ll probably be on line for a few hours before doors open as usual, so I don’t miss out on the poster (especially if it’s a Zoltron 😍)

Dude hell yeah
 
I got some templates for fretting fingerboards, try out 3 most common, 25:5 24.75 and 34 and a joke from Illinois’ toll systems, claims my car, which was totaled in April 2021 was on west side of Chicago in JUNE this year when even my butt as hasn’t been there since Sept. and the kid came back around the block forgot my truss rods and HB rings for m LP build🤦‍♂️
 
Goodies from @Amplified Parts

  • Fawn tolex (not pictured) for a few Vox-type pedals
  • A pair of narrow-spaced boards for Buzzaround builds
  • Some black FF boards (stealthy!)
  • 3 Fuzz face knobs (stealthy x2!)
  • Some black-hat NPN germs (stealthy x3!)
  • A spanner for knurled switch nuts
That little wrench pryer thingy is a life saver! Especially installing toggle switches on guitars and stuff. But also for gently prying off stubborn knobs without damaging the guitar (or pedal).
 
A new gadget…

Also, some inductors from SB, MAX7219s for my countdown clock, a Hammond output transformer and turret board for my 5F1.
