Prages

FWIW, mine was also an original design, and we worked with the tattoo artist for about a week refining it until we had something everyone was completely happy with. Still, it was about 45 minutes in the chair, and I was charged $75. My wife got a matching one on her calve, so that brough the total to $150, but it was 2 tatoos.

I have one tat, and it cost me $75. Took about 45 minutes. The pic is from the day I got it.

I don't play every day, or even every week. I can play electric guitar as long as I want without my fingers hurting, but playing an acoustic or a bass for a few hours will cause some tenderness.

where is the variac? don't see it in the pics Maybe he meant Variaxe, which is pictured with the other guitars.

Psalm 33:2 Praise the Lord with the harp; make music to him on the ten-stringed lyre. He needs that rig so he can praise the Lord with his harp in South Carolina, and the Lord will be able to hear him in Heaven.

It's not terribly surprising. EBMM uses an oil finish on the neck and fretboard. It's cold in New England, and the store's heat has dried out the air. Dry air means dry fretboard means fret sprout. The good news is that if you file your fret ends when the fretboard is dry like it is now, you'll probably never have that problem again. It does suck for trying out guitars this time of year though.

It's more likely a switch problem. Since pickups don't have any moving parts to wear out or get corroded, they normally don't just go out. It's possible to get a short in the coil of the pickup, but my first assumption would be that it's the switch. My last assumption would be that it's the pickup.

I can't say I've ever sold an amp and regretted enough to buy the same amp. The amps I've sold: Peavey Rage Peavey Classic Chorus 212 THD Univalve Fender Cybertwin Marchall JCM 800 2203 head Never even considered buying another of any of them, though I sometimes wish I'd held onto the Classic Chorus, just because it was such a workhorse.

great useful little pedal. Of course if you are using a really hot overdriven rhythm tone, the boost has to come after the spot of the saturation. Yep. An EQ pedal in the loop if you have a loop, or after the OD pedal if you use a pedal for ODs will boost your leads wonderfully.

Never used one.

mmm...seems like there's one missing from those pics:poke: HOLY CRAP. I thought you had disappeared. Haven't seen you in ages! How you been? Is the new board less offensive to you than the original one?

I've always built my own and made them small enough to fit into the duffel bag I use to carry all my cables and mics and stuff like that. Here are a few different ones I've built. The first couple were a little over complicated and didn't offer much room to rearrange pedals when I replaced or added one. The one I'm using now is big enough to house a few more pedals if need be, and I can arrange them pretty much however I want, but the cables aren't hidden like the older ones.

I started out on a student sized classic guitar. Played for a couple of years, then quit. Got an electric for Christmas when I was 13 or so. It was a Dean 'Firecrackle' from the Sears catalog. I then built a guitar in wood shop my sophomore year, and built another couple of guitars during high school. My first truely good guitar was my PRS CE24, which I got when I graduated from high school in 1993.

I seriously absolutely HATE Fenders with floyd bridges. But, I have to admit, that is one cool looking {censored}e you have. BITE YOUR TONGUE! (Neither are Fenders, but still).

That is sexy!
