Not really. I had to displace my pedals to fit the crave on my music table. I also have a massive RD-8 coming so I'm gonna need to get a shoe rack or something. B33rChiller posted:Cool. That should be lots of fun together. Can you send cv and gate from the crave sequencer? And maybe have it sequence outboard gear alongside the normalled connections? I'm kind of a noob so I'm not sure what normalled means. I am able to send keyboard CV and gate from the crave to the neutron. I can then get the crave to mix with the neutron by summing neutron osc 1+2 and crave vca out -> neutron vca in. I currently do not plug the crave directly into my mixer because I have to use a 1/4th to 1/8th adapter and the connection is really tall and sketchy (there's no rear output).

B33rChiller posted:I mean the internal connections. If I understand correctly, the crave has a sequencer that can play notes without having to connect it with patch cables, right? If so, I was wondering if it could sequence the crave, and at the same time send a copy of those signals over a patch cable elsewhere? Yes, the sequencer will sequence the crave without any patching. It has gate and keyboard CV out on the patch bay and hooking that up to something else will send a copy of the sequence.

After a couple of weeks, my OP-1 is finally at home amongst the mess of wires in my bedroom: Not pictured are the Pocket Operators I got alongside it, as I’ve barely delved into those yet (not that there’s much to delve into with them, tbf).

The pink and rosewood headstock is enough on it's own, but i really wanna see that neck too! You got it.   It did have some small little issues to iron out, a fret dot was high and there was some excess glue around the skunk stripe. Nothing some steel wool couldn't fix though. I've seen some people have issues with the frets pushing or needing a level, I'm a little surprised that more stores don't have their techs go over a $1500+ guitar for a quick and dirty setup/fret dressing before it goes on the wall, but hey.  I also grabbed a picture pretty representative of the paint on it. I picked it up on clearance, and guitar center being guitar center lost all the paperwork and the special half-ashtray bridge cover I'll never use.

I'm overdue for bed but my weekend starts Sunday so here's a start on something. Next Thursday I turn 50. Whoop de loving doo! I can't afford a sports car, but I at least can fill the Fender Telecaster sized hole in my life with a Fender Richie Kotzen "Telecaster." I came home from work tonight to a steaming hot apartment. The air conditioning was frozen. Lugging all my new boxes from Sweetwater up the stairs (not pictured, sorry) made me really long for a nice frigid home, but instead my hands are too sweaty. That's why I am showing this to you guys before actually playing it. I have acidic sweat that turns guitar strings black in minutes unless I wash my hands like it's compulsive. That's why I haven't put my hands all over her yet. Why this guitar? Believe it or not, I didn't really want another flame maple/gold hardware guitar. But this Tele has an arm contour, a rib-cage cut, a 22-fret neck (a beefy baseball bat neck), and a 12" radius with gigantic frets. The Blues Dad aesthetic wasn't what I needed in my Tele but it's very very Fausty to dig figured woods and blingy bling bling, dad or not. It has DiMarzio pickups. The bridge pickup is a Chopper T and from what I heard online it sounds like a bright, vintage output humbucker. The neck is a Twang King and it's a lot closer to a standard Tele pickup. It has a three-way switch, but the tone knob is NOT a tone knob. It's a rotary series/parallel switch for the middle position (both pickups on). Same as any other 4-way wiring setup. And I am going to GUT it. But first, have a look.    "TELECASTER" on the headstock. Really? Get bent, Fender.  Made in Japan, and flawless (on the surface, at least). I already knew I was going to put Fralin Stock Tele pickups in it, because I put those in my MIM Tele that I traded to my Dad. I love these pickups. Instead of buying the parts and re-wiring it myself I bought a pre-wired kit online, it's a reverse control that's Volume/Tone/Switch instead of the other way around with 4-way wiring on a 4-way switch. I also see a lot of these guitars online with the gold rubbed off the bridge and control plate. To prevent that I purchased a new bridge and control plate and knobs. And can I please get an Amen: gently caress those Tele switch tips. They fly off one day and you put it back on, repeat about three times until you crack the plastic, then it's useless. I bought one made of machined loving brass, hell yeah. And I might try out a gold pearl pickguard on it, since they covered up the flame top with this huge cream colored pickguard, I thought it might look better without all that empty space. If I go this route, then all the stock stuff just unscrews, clips apart, and I can mount up my prewired stuff and load all replacement parts on. Solder about three wires. Store the original stock parts away safe. Here are all those parts:  I'm way overdue for bed but this guitar, as nice as it is, is just a part of the birthday presents I bought myself. I'll be back this weekend with pics of more stuff, but there's one vital component that won't get here until Wednesday so it won't all be quite complete. I mean, what would YOU do if your first colonoscopy were just days away? That's my Tuesday! Dr. Faustus fucked around with this message at 09:38 on Sep 18, 2021 |

It's not a real Tele if it doesn't have the scare quotes. They've been there since the fifties.

While toxic and fragile masculinity is a problem for many reasons, I think the stereotypical “mid life crisis” sports car purchase can be better understood as “I have a decent job and the loving crotch goblins are finally out of the house so now I can afford this otherwise irresponsible purchase” sports car.

Finally spent quality time with the Tele last night. That neck really is huge. The satin feel of the back of that huge neck is really lovely. I have big(ish) hands so it's an adjustment (this neck is serisously fatter than the FFLP or FF338) but thanks to the big frets it plays. I needed to straighten the neck. I went 1/4-turn and it was too far. Went back 1/8-turn and lowered the saddles down. It's insane. The last guitar I bought that had fretwork to these tolerances was the JEM7V. The high E string is sitting just 1mm above the 12th AND 22nd frets. No fret-buzz or fret-out. No dead spots yet. Just stunning. I'm about to gut it and put the new electronics in. It's a keeper for sure. Here's one picture with a lot of my other new poo poo. I have just about everything I ordered except some string saver gold saddles for the Kotzen Tele and a 5U rack/bag to mount up the new Fractal Axe-FX III Mk II, which I have only barely started setting up. It. Is. loving. Sick. Those are Kali LP-6 monitors. Way too big for this setup but they had two things I wanted: preset EQs for speaker location. There is a dip-switch setting to compensate for being back against a wall, which is also why I sought out forward-ported cabs. The Fractal is sitting on a repurposed rolling bed table. O and if you look at the Furman you see my apartment voltage is all the way to the red (128v). I checked the outlets with a Klien Tools tester and the outlet is properly wired but the tester verifies the voltage at the wall is 127 volts. Is that a problem?

Anything between 108 to 132 should be ok plus you have the furman which I belive protects your equipment from large sudden voltage spikes.

I'm putting together a small guitar\demo studio. I'll make myself available to do reamps for people and rough mixes (I'm not a pro mixer and I can't record drums at home). So aside from the Mark V having all those channels and modes which will be insanely useful in a studio environment... ... I'm an absolute Metallica tragic. So if I have a collection of amps, why the hell don't I have the most famous Metallica amp? Sure it's not an actual IIC+ but they're getting awful hard to find. Plus as I said, all the extra bells and whistles on the Mark V make it as practical a purchase as it does a fanboy purchase.

I absolutely approve of that, hell yeah. I've been meaning to post and let folks know I'm up for, keen, and free to do reamps for things for them. Hit me up, send me some stems and I'm happy to reamp guitars (or bass!) for peeps. Probably make a post in the guitar thread now honestly haha.

New old bass day. Late 70's, early 80s Marquis by Harmony P-Bass, made in Korea by Samick. 3 piece ash body, maple neck, brass bridge, brass string tree.   Needs strings and a setup, but everything works.
