Howdy legends!
I can't remember the last post I made here (save the broken vox one).
Figured I'd say another hello and jaw about some of my recently-failed experiments!
Pickups:
I built some crazy devices with coils of old speaker-wire, cat5/twisted pair and other various types. They worked. Never mounted any ... I might try some transformer wire at some point
Me and another cobbled a weird hall-effect device together. It didn't work at all.
Amps:
I've been playing with some schems for a couple jobs. Nothing built due to cost. Should change now I'm a full-time bit-slinger.
Drew up a head that (should) switch between JMP50 and JCM800 circuits.
A modified firefly - something to stuff into an old radio chassis for low-vol crankedness.
Last idea was a bass head - now a preamp - centered around a tilt tone control and built-in effects. I was considering using valve-based effects, since the unit was a PA box and has reasonable room.
I scored some new guitars since last I lurked. Most I moved on ... but my partner got me a lovely secondhand tanglewood black-beauty copy. Triple Entwhistle pickups. That'll need a rewire soon, I'm sure ...
Anyhow - good to see some familiar names still kicking around
