How to get rid of sharp fret ends?
PaulThePlug replied to Baloney Balderdash's topic in Repairs and Technical
I'd go Med/Fine Sanding Sponge... Fine Sanding Sponge... I've also used Halfords Bodywork Sponges. Steady Eddie otherwise you get a 'Scallop' as well as a 'Rolled' edge... But a bit of the both looks kinda nice. Then on to the nail blocks... got a load from Aliexpress... great for a fretboard and fret clean. Also used to knock-off a sticky glossy neck, and great with wax on a wood body.- 5 replies

Luverly take on a Compensated Bridge Saddle Blade... Shorter Screws for Intonation and Height... I'd hack saw 5mm or so off, or replacements from somewhere like Spaldings Fasteners on the 'bay - I use em for A2 Stainless Grub Screws for bridge saddles.

Hard to cut the inside hole neat... which is why the pre-cut packing foam was ideal...

@TheGreek thanks for responding... The packing foam sponge from a pair of Jazz Pickups... I can cut into 2 to make a foam sponge surround for each pickup in the existing Soap Bar Cavity of my SR400/DiMarzio. Here is the Red Fender Foam in my SR300/Maida Vale Protect the wires and keep the dust and crud out. Just an easy finishing touch. Thanks for looking...

Son's sounds good with a Fuzz 'n Phaser or Fuzz 'n Wah... Another trick is hanging a coat hanger if a bass note as a Drone, leaving both hands to play over it.

Son has an Alesis Recital 88 Full Size and Semi-Weighted Keys... Have a look on Faceache or Gumtree see whats local... £100ish will 'prolly come with stand / seat, maybe even sustain pedal... Or a Midi Controller?

PaulThePlug replied to Baloney Balderdash's topic in Effects
Zoom B1on and B1xon ya say? Might of over-done it! Maybe work out a Split from the B1xon Out to the 2 B1on units In for Parallel... But, still not got to the bottom of this... On/Off Switch - Button functions on a finger press, but the foam doesn't seem to want to compress with a push with the pedal - Note: I am Mechanically Sympathetic so ain't gonna be stamping on it.. Switch turns On/Off the Effect to which the Expression Pedal has been assigned to one of it's paramaters... Rather than turn On/Off the Expression Pedal's Variability, say back to a default setting... Shame. -
You still got the insert? Got to be 2-Part Epoxy Stuff like Araldite
