  1. Funnily enough, I just managed to take the first trustworthy, reliable photo of my Strat's unique finish... It's not that shiny, it's a tiny bit darker in person, but at least the emeral finish is shown like it is!

  2. I was tuning after changing strings, and my spanish guitar's headstock has violently crashed. Fuck! Never suffered this accident before. Let's hope the fretboard and the general structure hasn't suffered any damage...


  3. probably too high gauge strings. what a bummer
  4. Same gauge as always Nah, the tuning machines are old as fuck (probably 30 years or more, almost as much as the guitar itself) and they probably couldn't handle yet another string change + tuning session. What a bummer, yeah. I hope its excellent sound doesn't change much when I change the headstock machines...

    gorgeous man. I've always wanted to see what your strat really looks like!
  8. I finally completed the building of my board...here are some pictures of the re-working, from start to finish.

    My grandfather built the actual board for me, as he had some spare wood lying around. I bought the velcro and laid 5 strips across the board. When my grandfather painted the board black, he used a small bit of grain mixed in with the paint to give it a little grip for the velcro, which you can see slightly in this picture.


    Because I don't have the "slats" going across the board like on a PedalTrain, I have to lay the cables on the top of the board instead of routing them underneath. Some simple copper plumbing brackets from the hardware store- package of 12 for 99 cents- cleaned that up nicely.


    Purchased from Redco Audio, these components are screwed into the side of the board and act as input/outputs. This way, the board is its own entity and I can plug straight into/from the board from one location instead of worrying about doing it to/from a specific pedal. The jacks are locking, as well- a nice feature so that the guitar doesn't come unplugged.


    Because the input/outputs route to underneath the board, I put a small hole in the center-ish of the board to pull some cable through. It cleans up the top of the board, as well as gives me a place to put a power supply cord to keep it out of the way.


    Here you can see the underneath of the board, with the input/outputs routed up into the actual board. There is a power supply there as well. The cables have all been bracketed so that nothing hangs off the board.


    I drilled two half-circles into the bottom of the board that sits on the ground, so that the power supply unit on the actual pedalboard can be routed down and plugged into the supply underneath the board, and that power strip can be routed back out of the board and into whatever outlet I need. The unit on the board didn't have a long enough cord, so I had to rig it up this way. It works very well.


    And here is the completed project!
  9. It looks great Matt!

    I've gotten my Korg A3
  10. WOW MATT
  11. I'm thinking of whether I should get the standard Big Muff Pi or the Little Big Muff Pi, because I do want a Muff.
  12. Wow that board looks fantastic! Glad those input things worked out!

    Bought a bass today with christmas money Really good price and really good reviews, even feels better than the mexican p-bass I rented in the summer. It's a squier vintage modified p-bass! Looks like this:
