    PSA - I currently have Covid and it has hit me hard. Until I have recovered I won't be offering to meet anyone or invite people into my home to try it. Unfortunately I quite like a significant minority of you people and wouldn't want you to be endangered. Hopefully normal service will resume in a week or 2.

    Bump.

    Bump

    What a bargain!

    it’s not an uncommon modification. The downtuning metal guys have been doing it for years to get thicker strings through the posts.

    Can they be drilled out a little?

    I like TI flats too. They also have the advantage of lasting at least 5 years so I'm happy to spend the money on them.

    I bet that hurts! What's wrong with a trimmer?

    Very useful thank you. I think I'm going to order a Sandberg - I've had my quote in and although the 12 month waiting will be very painful I will get exactly what I want. And it will turn up at about my 50th birthday.

    I'm in the process of getting a quote for a Superlight Lionel. It's not on the configurator but I know they offer far more options. Superlight shortscale - might even get under 6lb!!

    Quick look over my shoulder.... I married a JMJ type so I suppose I'll go for the classy one for a change

    I think I’ll keep saving for the Sandberg.

    Bump. I've removed the Mustang as a trade candidate due to the many reports of neck dive. So it's a Lionel or a sale.
  14. fretmeister
    Is there such a thing as a Mustang that doesn't have neck dive? Almost every review I've read / watched seems to mention it. I'm wondering if I should just keep saving up for a Lionel.

    Thanks chaps. As it happens I searched my trunk of parts and found an Aguilar that has poles that are flat with the surface of the plastic. So I'm going to try that. Maybe with a bit of tape on it.

    So do I with my Big Band. But that doesn't affect the comedy of it. To be honest it really annoys me.... I play jazz because I don't like crowds but the sods turn up anyway.

    On facebook there's a guy selling a pair of Aguilar J pickups. Those with some 250K pots could be just what you need. https://www.facebook.com/groups/guitarexchange/permalink/5100007073412219/?sale_post_id=5100007073412219

    You can always tell "legit music" by the size of the audient. (singular).

    On my TT4SL I ripped the whole lot out and put in a set of EMG J and the BQC preamp. It's lovely! But if I find a used Lionel then that will be an Aguilar 60s wind and a KiOgon loom.

    That just reminded me of this

    Cheap interface and use plugins with your PC? Amplitube free with a smart phone and interface? Loads of options really. When I play on headphones I use an Audient iD4 interface and my ipad. Amplitube can import all the songs from iTunes so I can play along easily.

    Very much this. 500K pots and quite bright pickups are a Sandberg thing. I love Sandbergs but I always end up changing the electronics.

    Selling my PRS to fund something else. This is an S2 - not to be confused with the cheaper SE range. I am the first owner - I bought it from Peach in November 2020 with a view to doing a load of recording. Then in December 2020 I ruptured a tendon in my right hand that only healed this Christmas so it hasn't had a lot of use and has never been out of the house. It was tuned B standard but is now back to E standard. The little brass thing in the trem cavity is called a FU Trem Stopper. It's a simple device that is just a brass bracket with a screw and a nut to stop the screw from moving upwards. These are a frankly stupid £25! (also from Peach). It only stops up bends. I found it very useful for re-tuning to dropped tunings without needing to retune every other string or adjust the springs. It is easily removable as it's held on with 2 screws. It has 2 humbuckers with coil taps with a push/pull tone control. The cavity cover and screws will be refitted before it is sold. The neck is the Pattern Regular profile (the 2022 models are now Pattern Thin). It's very comfy indeed. It comes with the gig bag that came with it, and the trem arm. It's as well built as expected for a PRS. The fretwork is excellent and it stays in tune the way a Gibson can only dream about! It's currently strung with Elixir Optiwebs. I'm only selling because I'm a bassist and now that everyone is back at work I'm not really playing much guitar and when I do I've got a strat I've had for nearly 20 years. I'm not looking for any trades unless you've got a Sandberg Lionel that is under 7.5lb I'm looking for £675 or near offer. Collection from Northants please. I don't have a guitar amp anymore so if you want to try it out plugged in, the best I can offer is a Roland Bass Cube on the "Bassman" setting for an almost Fender type tone. Or you can bring your own. Or bring a modeller to plug into the aux socket. Whatever is easiest for you. thanks.

    That's good to hear. Thanks.
