Glowguards

[charic]

Hey guys,

tempted by the aurora project glowguards atm. Black pbass/black scratchplate/green light (green n black are my colours)

so i was wondering do any of you guys have the answers to these questions:

-is the scratchplate still screwed on?
-how long does the battery last
-how do you switch it on and off
-is there a control to how bright

cheers for any reply's

ps i dont want flashing i just want the standard

You might be better asking the manufacturers of this product these questions, as i know a lot of bass players on the forum use miners pit helmets when theyre gigging to light theyre fret boards in low light,they also look great too! damn sight cheaper than this fangled technology!.

Now that depends on how many miners benefits you play!
making eye contact with the audience? do you have a licence for such activity?,thought that was the singers job?
dimmer switch your helmet sir!

I've found that the lamp on a classic 60s miners helmet has a warmer, mellower beam, causing less problems for the audience when you look up from your fretboard.

Yeah, but the quality control is very variable & the prices are ridiculous these days.
Much better is an early 80s Japanese through-wired one.

-battery will last around 6 hours (dependent on what kind of battery ofcourse)
-it still screws on (any ideas of an alternative?)
-it has a small switch in the same area as the tone and volume
-and you cant change the brightness (yet dimmer switch/variable resister anybody hehe)

You never asked us about a dimmer (change the brightness) of cause you can , use a pot this will limit the power to the lights
