Yep, reverb too. Both are awesome in an cheesetastic way.

bitter · April 28, 2012, 08:07:51 PM

Right on.

Finally done. It's being shipped out Monday. I kinda think I should have gone with 24-frets since I don't have a neck pickup but I rarely play above the 17th anyways. It's my take on the virtues of a Les Paul jr. (but with a humbucker) done as a V.

The Shocker · April 28, 2012, 10:35:56 PM

Fucking work of art.

VOLVO))) · April 28, 2012, 11:07:57 PM

Yeah, I'm proper jealous, man.

bitter · April 28, 2012, 11:14:06 PM

Dat V

Baltar · April 29, 2012, 09:49:24 AM

Good God^^^^^. Not a V guy, but wow. Even the knob is plexi!!! It's plexi right?

The Shocker · April 29, 2012, 10:02:33 AM

Seriously, I think that won this thread. Might need to start a new one.

hayseed · April 29, 2012, 09:42:15 PM

^^^^That V is so nice! I am not a huge fan of playing Vs but I can appreciate the beauty of a guitar.

Not that i can top that but I am trading my Laney AOR100 for a mint 2009 SG Classic with P90s (cherry finish)this week hopefully. I like the head a great deal but really don't need it, i use my Marshall way more . I have been wanting a SG with P90s for sometime and this one came up locally on CL.

Mr. Foxen · April 29, 2012, 09:54:24 PM

Actually got this last week, but stacking all those amps for that bird to pose in front of basically wrecked my back, so I didn't unpack it till now.

oli ne progress on those SC120 plastic plugs for the impedance switch and the voltage selector?

Jake · April 29, 2012, 10:17:23 PM

That's a cool V.

Saw Buzzo playing a lucite EGC last weekend in Austin. It made me want one too.

I gave them to a bloke who'll make molds when he is next making molds, cause it will be cheaper that way.

Oh yeah, look at the tragedy I just pulled out of that Roost:

thanks for the 411, when they come into being let me know I really do want 1 for my SC120 rebuild

In Scotty voice

#2 tube's lost her getter captain

Mr. Foxen · April 29, 2012, 11:40:27 PM

Notice two are also missing the spigot on the bottom.

Can probably sort you with one or two selector plugs from the poor SC200 that got converted to SS.

Hemisaurus · April 29, 2012, 11:44:11 PM

Yeah, but you can fit new bottoms, if the tubes are good

I suppose you could reflash the getter too, but not with just a soldering iron.

liquidsmoke · April 30, 2012, 06:31:32 PM

TBX150 just ordered. Never played through one but I have a good feeling about it. Will use my Amptweaker TightMetal with it if it's preamp distortion isn't so great. If none of that works out I'll just put a Mesa on my credit card or haul all of my gear out into the street and set fire to it.

VOLVO))) · April 30, 2012, 06:33:47 PM

Man. That may have been a mistake...

liquidsmoke · April 30, 2012, 06:46:36 PM

May have but it was very inexpensive and I seriously suspect that at the very least I'll find it a better amp to use with distortion pedals than my GH. NOT selling the GH but the Randall has got to go as it's a corroded rust bucket.

Corey Y · April 30, 2012, 06:54:12 PM

If it has an effects loop just plug the TightMetal into the return and use it as a preamp. That's how it's intended to be used anyway. If you hate it there's bound to be some 15 year old metalhead in your neck of the woods that would love it.

liquidsmoke · April 30, 2012, 07:18:46 PM

It does. Tried that already with my Randall and Laney. I wish the tightmetal had regular eq knobs in addition to what it has now. It sounds a lot like an amp preamp. As it is I prefer to just run it through the preamp but have the gain all the way down then I can use the amp's eq knobs at least. Or I could get an eq pedal.
