Did you manage to get a replacement pot for the broken one yet. Sorry I haven’t been able to check my spares, they are in the loft and I’ve bee struck down with sore knee again. @rocknroller912 No, I haven’t…   Read more»

Yes crazy but I never claimed to be sane

@rocknroller912 🤣🤣🤣🤣🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👍

Maybe the Saltire as you’re moving to chilli jocko land (Jimmy Greaves favourite saying). Plain blue and white would be a good contrast to the changing background. @rocknroller912 So, a faux Saltire scratch plate that isn’t a scratch plate but…   Read more»

Thinking cap is on about how to make a pick up routing template for a curved surface.

@rocknroller912
Route the pickup cavities before carving?

Stunning paint job it’s as good as anything I’ve seen from a factory. You commented that you’re not fitting the scratch plate, so just a thought would a faux painted scratch plate in a contrasting colour look good. @rocknroller912 Thank…   Read more»

Daaaaaamn, you guys have got your spring cleaning all lined up I see! Woo hoo hoo, have fun!!!
 

My advice for what it’s worth is not to make one unless that’s the style someone wants to play, or unless a pick up is being added to give volume.  @rocknroller912 That’s kind of a funny statement, I never thought…   Read more»

this forum is the most useful thing I’ve ever found

I agree @rocknroller912. It’s been a revelation. 
🙂🎶🎸🙏

At least I can walk on the floor. This is mine today.

@rocknroller912 Yeah that’s very tidy compared to mine. I’m getting there though, it’s looking better already. Another couple of hours and it will be reasonable again. 

@rocknroller912
No worries, I understand. Guitarists can be really annoying, always having to be the loudest and showing off. It’s pretty lame. Probably always competing with the singer…

Sorry to be basic, do you know the difference between log and linear. @rocknroller912 Here is the extent of my understanding of pots and wiring. Here are some pots and wires, and then I know nothing. 😆  I appreciate you…   Read more»

@rocknroller912
Well I like to use my volume. It’s mostly on full but I like to use it for dynamics like swells or to just clean up the sound. It would be weird to lose that control. 

@rocknroller912
Personally I can’t stand linear pots and I also can’t understand why they’re used in guitar circuits especially for the volume, d’oh!

It’s a B250K
 

@rocknroller912 I have to confess I pondered about whether or not to use the term thesis, since my first thought when i hear the term is also an academic thesis, so I checked whether it would be appropriate

@rocknroller912
Can you remember if the video where Mark showed the pyramid bridge was the one where he builds a bridge for an acoustic guitar? I have some chores to finish but I’d like to watch it later.

Thanks @rocknroller912!
I moved the last of my stuff in today and the coffee machine was the first thing sorted. So yes, now I can really get down to business!

@rocknroller912 I’m lucky at the moment because the London Hackspace is quite close to me (less than 25 minutes if there is no traffic), but its future in the current location is somewhat in doubt (the agreed rental period will…   Read more»

I thought it was verboten to be untidy and leave a mess for someone else to clear up. @rocknroller912 Yeah me too! The funny thing is that the landlord is about as chill as possible. Not like in a cool…   Read more»
