I'm flirting with the idea of swirl painting a guitar, Borax method. Anyone ever done this? i think i get the general gist of it. Anyone know if you can use nitro paints underneath, or does it have to be plasti-kote paint?

[quote name='Grangur' timestamp='1378757074' post='2204389'] The plate you have is the bedplate that goes under the bridge is a shim for adjusting the initial height of the bridge. You could try it first with the plate and see what the set up is like. Then remove it if you want the action lower. I'd do it that way round as the screws will bite more into the body wood when the plate is removed. [/quote] Thanks mate your help is proving invluable. Stupid question time. Now I've sanded the body i put the bridge on with the bedplate, then take it off, do the paint job, then put it back on and see what i prefer? I can't do the end bit til the paint job, correct?

Ok, The bridge i bought [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/schaller_3d5_b.htm"]http://www.thomann.d...aller_3d5_b.htm[/url] has like another plate underneath that sticks to it. Obviously it makes the bridge a bit higher. What's the point? Should i use it? Would picture help with this description?

We don't get preferred updates from them, or indeed have any more interaction with them than with all other members. [/quote] I've been on here a couple of years and have no friends on here. I don't know..... maybe it's my attitude......not that i care! Everyone can f*** off!!

Will let you know how it goes! [/quote] To be honest it sounded awesome. I just tried the different amp models on the zoom i.e, GK, Aguilar, Hartke, Sansamp etc. Left the eq flat on amp bit had the gain on about 75%.

[quote name='LukeFRC' timestamp='1377942448' post='2193803'] no stupid? i used it in a small basement with little ventilation and no respirator. Not the best idea really. I used to use all sorts of chemicals and stuff as a student, and while you are probably wise to use a ventilator this stuff isn't particually bad. As it drys it also gives off fumes so leaving it somewhere ventilated. Outside it would be fine without a respitator. Use it every day... get a respirator.... but a shed or somewhere where you can spray with a window or door open then leave it to dry without you being there... should be fine [/quote] Cheers

Ha ha. All true. I don't fear the whole note and i won't go past five strings.

Just fire everybody else!

I'd just like to say bass isn't just a rhythm instrument. You can play melodically too. Bass is a part of harmony!

[quote name='BassTractor' timestamp='1377544557' post='2188718'] So much this, under the assumptions that one ranges jazz under that same view, and that real music is only made by Penderecki, Stockhausen and Xenakis. In other words: sweeping statement nonsense that you of all people should know to stay well away from. [/quote]Bit harsh! He was only saying it's pop music, not it's not real music. What's wrong with pop music!

Metal has been pop for many years now. it has a defined image that isn'y just scruff and black anymore. tattoos and hair do's are obligatory. All the bands have the same sheen production. It's all bollocks basically. the last metal band was probably Pantera!

[quote name='Dad3353' timestamp='1377294715' post='2186055'] If this is ever the case, you have my permission to "bang fook" out of the (bad...) drummer. [/quote]Respect!

but seriously, i don't understand why bands have to practice at ear splitting volumes. Someone please explain to me why? It's probably why i've never used earplugs as i've never allowed bands i've been in to be ridiculously loud. I've played heavy rock most of my life too

earplugs?.......no.......don't know what you're talking about!

[quote name='Andyjr1515' timestamp='1377211712' post='2184985'] Yes - I sand it first with coarse (c 80 grit) then wet it with a squeezed out cloth - this reveals the scrapes and dings. Repeat until all the scrapes and dings are gone, then sand progressively down to around 400 grit. It should then prime well and flaw-free. [/quote] cheers

Nearly down to all the wood. Just got the top face to do. Will i have to sand it with a fine sandpaper before i spray a primer? Just ordered this bridge for it. [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/schaller_3d5_b.htm"]http://www.thomann.de/gb/schaller_3d5_b.htm[/url]

Regressed?!?!?!?!?!?

Well that just makes that show seem totally unbelievable now!

[quote name='joeystrange' timestamp='1376942026' post='2181356'] That's great! How much stuff do they have? [/quote]6 albums, I think!

[quote name='Raymondo' timestamp='1376938218' post='2181250'] I like it!...I have liked everything I have heard of his...an Australian barman at one of my locals used to play a lot of gotye...the big hit had been out for a couple of years before it made it to the UK. As usual though ....I haven't bought or downloaded anything....I really must update my music collection [/quote] I really recommend Making Mirrors. It's a stunning album, aurally too. It's great but thru headphones it's a whole different experience. Magical production!
