I've only gone and bloody done it.....well the headstock anyway. I'm pretty pleased with how it's turned out. I followed the steve robinson vids. It's not perfect, i could of sanded it a bit flatter but i'm happy with it for a first refinish/mod. I will take a picture tomorrow in daylight and post it. Stupid question time. I did 3 coats of colour. Mist coat. Then mist coat of clear. Then 3 coats of clear, i don't think it's dead thick though. Now here's the stupid question bit which i think i know the answer for. Is it ok to add a couple of more clearcoats tomorrow? As eventually i will put a decal on and if i have to flat back a bit i wanna be sure i don't get down to colour coat.

The bass and drums lock together well (but are fighting each other in the mix a wee bit). Guitars have plenty of crunch. Everything nice and heavy. I bet you guys are great to see live! Definitely a track to keep in your set. [/quote]Cheers! The mix is a bit middley for me but i like the performance.

[quote name='kevin_lindsay' timestamp='1381060058' post='2233802'] Why did they grab a council road worker to vome straight from his shift, to play the bass? As for the drummer, dear goodness, he sounds like a set of mechanical false reeth someone has miked up, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4sLwDFWXiBM [/quote]

[quote name='4000' timestamp='1381058116' post='2233756'] To be honest I'm not a fan of the band. As for SR, I'll take Rachel Riley thanks. Far more my type ;-) [/quote]It's my style to take both!

What a load of bollocks! I agree with the headphones quip

I just nitromors-ed it and started again. Done the primer' hopefully will get the rest right today. This is only the bloody headstock. Glad I started on it and not the body!

This sounds lame but this spray painting lark is tough. f***ed it up a couple of times. Doing the headstock. Couple of times dust has got on the finish so had to sand back. Then earlier i'd done good so went to do the final dusting (using metallic silver) I mustn't of shook the can enough or pressed on too hard and i got loads of drips on the finish......gutted. I've had to sand off the drips but its too late to do any more so i will have to do another coat in the morning then dust it and clear coat it. Will this be ok, being that i'm leaving it overnight? i must have used nearly half a can I'm a bit worried that the headstock will turn out to dark.

Here's a rubbish photo of the headstock primered up. If it brightens up later i'll take a better picture and hopefully do some more of the finish. [attachment=145317:IMG_20131002_225936.jpg]

I've a mate in a wedding band and sometimes they would get booked for duo or trio. Where they would play to backing tracks, well sing to them. My mate just mimed keyboards. He's a bass player, hasn't got a clue about playing keyboard and he was getting north of £150. I thought Lucky Bastard. The only people who having any right moaning about selling out is naive idealistic teenagers.

Thanks mate. I get it just on hands, fingers and one knee bizarrely. I have to use high strength steroid in the morning and Tacrolimus in the evening. It all started from an allergic reaction to some detergent. Never had anything like it til about 2yrs ago. Got epic bad a year ago.

[/quote]Nice one! Cheers! It is them strings. Yeah it's a pisser the eczema. Gotta keep on going tho.

[quote name='xilddx' timestamp='1380664604' post='2228811'] Listen mate, you need to do what I do. Use coated strings (I use Cleartone and they last for f***ing ages) and play wearing a pair of black silk gloves from Jasmine Silk. They look a lot better than you do standing with an old pan by the Aga explaining to your mrs that proper Italian spaghetti is supposed to look like that. [/quote] I was wonderimg where you got those gloves from. I have developed eczema on my fingers that comes and goes and guess what helps inflame them.....So i need to start using gloves to play. I think the ESP i bought came with cleartones. They are good if it's the same ones. Is the company owned by one of the everley bros?

Boo! Poor customer service! In my mind as an ex employee of a huge capatalist bastard company. This caps sales and for the price of one refunded speaker they are potentially losing future sales. Idiots!

Ah what the f***! I'l have a go!

It's this, which came out last year and was my album of last year. It's still got that first listening buzz to me. I freakin love it! [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L_fCdmvlsaI&feature=share&list=PLF4C858A53C4C7EDC[/media]

So potentially out of the named and shamed only Jon Letts will see this. So actually only he will feel shame if he comes back on here! I wouldn't! It's not really an open letter then. It's kinda a letter to Jon Letts. Best pay for an ad in the Daily Mail. Have a go at the immigrants too!

[quote name='kevin_lindsay' timestamp='1380485640' post='2226085'] If you leave the finish for another few eeeks, it'll be absolutely fine mate. [/quote]Nice one pal!

Ok, pretty pissed off as i'd hoped to have the painting done this weekend. Not happened for various reasons. However, i did get a respirator. Finished sanding the body and neck down to 320 and stuck a false neck on the body. Anyway, if i manage to get the finish done next weekend I will then have to leave it 4 weeks before doing flatting and buffing. However, when this four week period ends i'll be in a weeks rehearsal then off on a 3 week tour. So basically i won't be around to do this. Is it ok to leave it longer before doing the flatting and buffing? (It's nitro paint I'm using). It's gonna be about 8 weeks. The pisser is i was hoping to have it ready for the tour, but i don't wanna rush it for the sake of it and i'm back out in Jan.

Control

Voted, only one for me!

I don't understand how aged wood makes a difference anyway as it's dead as soon as it's cut from the tree. I can't see how it alters over time. If it is covered in paint surely it would preserve it in it's state. Maybe it's all in the head. Wouldn't it be things like the pick up coils loosening over time etc that affected the tone?

Smoke and your gear....and fire in the sky..............sorry!

I have a carpet cleaner (fnurr fnurr) i just hoovered my then carpet cleaned it. Sorted.
