Jam Room / Re: What are YOU up to, DIY/pr...
Last post by Pissy - March 11, 2025, 01:23:04 PMI didn't show the finished product.
There is one issue. That I don't know whether to fix or leave alone. The neck when bolted in, I pressed it up against the pocket on the bass side and as a result the strings don't lay perfectly centered on the fretboard. I've played it and it sounds good and feels fine to me, but if looking at it with s discerning eye, it's pretty clear. On the other hand, if I fill the neck screw holes back in, and reset so that the strings do fall in the right place, there's a gap on that left side.
Then I found this:
https://www.amazon.com/Stainless-Adjustable-Roller-Electric-Guitar-Replacement/dp/B0B6VLF72C/ref=asc_df_B0B6VLF72C?tag=bingshoppinga-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=80745517997251&hvnetw=o&hvqmt=e&hvbmt=be&hvdev=m&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=&hvtargid=pla-4584345039107086&psc=1
It does what it looks like it does. But now the ground wire that normally is hidden under the bridge is more exposed, which doesn't look great. Give and take.

Last post by Pissy - March 11, 2025, 01:13:01 PMHow many different renditions of Autumn Leaves do you have? I think I've noticed 7 in my vinyl collection. Much less chaotic than what you prefer though.

Last post by mortlock - March 09, 2025, 12:21:02 PMMy band jammed the other day and we had a couple of musicians sit in with us. One of which is also a radio host of a program on the local jazz station. We got talking about his program and he was saying how he had free reign to play anything he wanted but the day time programs are more tightly regulated by the station. I mentioned i have a bunch of obscure free jazz in the collection in case he wanted to use any of it on his show. He actually invited me to guest host with him one night soon. Im pretty stoked about that. Check it out. Its an amazing show featuring the more wild side of jazz. Its called northstar sounds and is on every tuesday 9 to midnight eastern. 90.1 wgmc. Stream live from their website. The play one rare deep cut during every show as the 'semi ancient vinyl nugget of transformation'. Its always a banger. Tune in.

Last post by Stonergrunge - February 27, 2025, 09:40:20 AMSo this is an audio only demo that I uploaded to YouTube featuring some of the pedals I use outside my pedalboard (the final 7 minutes of the video it's just the MJM Sixties Vibe Custom)... but I'm not going to lie, it's a lousy demo:
