Ozzy Osbourne simply duplicated the event.

bottle cap knobs and cola pickups are things I genuinely would like on a guitar :kiddo:

In a similar vein: the Model 42 Rackmount Vaporizer.

I would actually buy this, if not for the fact that a heating element in crowded 19in racks sounds like a bad idea, as most rack gear generates a fair bit of heat to begin with and the cooler you run, generally the better it is for the life span of the gear.

Oh yea, I can't find a whammy bar that will fit the bridge, at all (I've got 12 spare whammy bars lying around and none of them fit). Might see if I can make something that fits out of Meccano.

Just go to the hardware store, and buy a stick of allthread in the right threading. Bend to taste.

Annoyingly I don't think I've got any gross knobs :(. I maybe have some white speed knobs lying around, although those will probably be too tasteful. I guess I could buy some, but I wanted to use nothing but poo poo I had lying around. I could cover some chicken head knobs in glitter or paint them orange or something.....

I have a set of lime green top hat knobs spare if you want them for the build. They're extra garish as these are actually white top hats painted with fluorescant green paint.

I was kind of on board at the very beginning when it was like, "oh man, those chords are kinda dreamy, are they gonna go Stone Roses on this? ...maybe if that guy would stop trying to play his hawt lixx all over that dreamy sound"

and then the beat kicked in and it was the worst poo poo imaginable.

also holy jesus, all the gear I own probably costs less than like one of those instruments or amps.

People like this are why I can barely listen to Hendrix anymore.

Is it possible for a hi-hat to sound white and smug? I guess that costs extra.

Well, I'm back from Bath and I'm currently back home in sunny Shropshire. To modify a guitar/bass wouldn't actually cost too much (re-spraying is easy enough if there is a lack of pink guitars and wouldn't be overly expensive, just time consuming). No idea what I'd charge for this... Thing though.
