Members notjonahbutnoah Posted March 25, 2011 Members Share Posted March 25, 2011 Got this box-o-parts from member AzCat. I've got a build thread but couldn't add any decent pics because I lost my camera. Well, the camera re-surfaced and I took some pics this morning. The specs are: Ash Body Wenge Neck SD Jazz in the neck SD Custom Custom in the bridge It was pretty fun to put together, painted it white with some Valspar cheap-o lacquer, and for $5 a can, and using about half of it, it looks awesome. I kinda wanted a Gibson Faded kind of vibe. VERY thin paint. Still feels woody. Played a show with it last night, and it was awesome. Tone was just right, feel was fantastic. It may just be the honeymoon phase, but I'm totally loving it so far. Now, on to the REAL pics. One with the strap for prettiez purposes. Welp, thanks for looking!!!! OK, one more.

Members notjonahbutnoah Posted March 26, 2011 Author Members Share Posted March 26, 2011 That came out real nice! Thank you both. So someone suggested a clip and I remembered I have my ipod's video camera. So, I made a little demo clip. Sorry, The orientation is off, but it's not really important. Also I aplogize because I was jsut kinda testing the audio and had nothing in mind to play... so the playing is pretty crappy. It starts and I just kinda show my signal chain, but all the effects are off the whole time except for the buffer. I go neck pickup for a bit, then stop switch to middle click the strings a couple times, play awhile, stop, switch to bridge, click the strings a couple times, play awhile, then swtich on the amp's gain channel for a spell, then that's it. The amp is a POS, solid state Fender Frontman25R. The gain is at about 4, treble atw up, mids at about 7 or 8, bass all the way down. The bass it provides is really muddy so I just keep it off. It's my room mate's anyhow. Anyway, even though the vid is crappy, you can get an idea of how it sounds.

Members notjonahbutnoah Posted March 27, 2011 Author Members Share Posted March 27, 2011 Bumps, because I made a demo, dammit. It sucks, but whatever. It's my first one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GilmourD Posted March 27, 2011 Members Share Posted March 27, 2011 That's pretty frickin' sweet! I tried looking for that neck on WD's site and don't see anything like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members brianeharmonjr Posted March 27, 2011 Members Share Posted March 27, 2011 I'm usually not much of a dual HB tele fan, but I really dig that. Love the Wenge neck and the finish choice. Looks like a helluva axe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BlackHatHunter Posted March 27, 2011 Members Share Posted March 27, 2011 Not sure what I love the most. The neck, the overall vibe, or the fact that you've already gigged it... awesome stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
