Soda Jerk Posted September 4, 2017 Report Share Posted September 4, 2017 Staytrem bridges are less than half the price and are super solid pieces of kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Broonbreed Posted September 4, 2017 Report Share Posted September 4, 2017 Sound. I'll see how I get on. They look pretty similar to Mustang bridges - do they not? So maybe it's already a stay trem fitted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soda Jerk Posted September 5, 2017 Report Share Posted September 5, 2017 You're right, looking at that photo, it does look very similar to a Staytrem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TR!ΔNGL€ T€€TH Posted September 5, 2017 Report Share Posted September 5, 2017 Tusq saddles and electrical tape on the bridge posts are all you need. I always lube my nut with a pencil after each string change too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Broonbreed Posted September 5, 2017 Report Share Posted September 5, 2017 I'd consider chucking in a fender rolling nut at some point. That might require routing though.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone have any experience with these? Most reviews seemed to reckon it was a more transparent TS808 - which I also though about buying. I used one of these in the studio last month and just bought my own. Really impressed. Doesn't fuck with your original tone but gives a really full boost. Well worth the bucks.

HateEvent Posted September 9, 2017 Report Share Posted September 9, 2017 Picked up a few new bits and pieces in the last year or so: - Marshall JCM800 2203KK - Mesa Boogie Mark V - Gibson Les Paul Custom - ESP MX-II (Custom Shop special order) I'll get some up to date 'family' pictures soon.

colb Posted September 12, 2017 Report Share Posted September 12, 2017 Final solution - Helix LT and Yamaha DXR 10. Doesn't sound 100% like the amps it's supposed to, but between 85 - 95% is enough for me. Does the valve amp thing where you turn down the volume on the guitar and the amp cleans up which is cool. Effects are good and you can route them whatever way you want. I can replicate my Eventide Space and huge delays and the fuzzes are well modelled too. Probably not for everyone but it definitely works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Broonbreed Posted September 28, 2017 Report Share Posted September 28, 2017 Awaiting delivery of a Fredric Green Russian pedal. Fuck knows how many fuzz pedals I actually have now, but this is definitely a good idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Broonbreed Posted October 1, 2017 Report Share Posted October 1, 2017 I feel like I have to reiterate how good that Green Russian is. No noise at all, just solid muff fuzz - nice and dark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoonie Posted December 25, 2017 Report Share Posted December 25, 2017 I’ve spent the last few months digging out my old gear and getting back into playing. Added a couple of extra bits and pieces too. currently looking at rebuilding my pedal board. Replacing my EHX pedals with nano versions and hopefully adding a tc electronics sub’n’up mini. Any other unusual bass effects I should be considering? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Broonbreed Posted March 21, 2018 Report Share Posted March 21, 2018 I've not acquired any new gear for some time now. I've been more tinkering with my setup and trying to minimise the amount of pedals on my board. I've just changed out my tonebender clone for my lm308 RAT, which is a lot more useable. I also checked my Fulltone vibe back in for about 10 minutes, but really can't make it sound like what I want a vibe to sound like.... I may sell this in due course.

Soda Jerk Posted March 26, 2018 Report Share Posted March 26, 2018 Got a new Harmonic Percolator I built a BYOC HP a few years back, the only one I've ever done, it was a horrible experience, and it recently packed in, probably due to my shitty soldering. I'm definitely not opening that thing up and troubleshooting it, nor do I want someone to fix it and judge how terrible it looks inside. So it goes in a drawer, and this takes its place. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neepheid Posted June 11, 2018 Report Share Posted June 11, 2018 OK, it wasn't Brexit, it was new windows - I'm getting some installed so I can view the impending Brexit fuelled meltdown clearer when I barricade myself in my house against the posses looking for Johnny Foreigner sympathisers to hang from lampposts. Still got the sparkly Jack Casady though so it won't be all bad 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Broonbreed Posted July 3, 2018 Report Share Posted July 3, 2018 (edited) Does anyone know where I can get a decent stratocaster bridge with 56mm mount spacing and 52mm string spacing? The Callaham ones are a fucking fortune. I've tried the Fender shop online but they don't seem to have them - although I've emailed them in case. Basically this, but cheaper.

Soda Jerk Posted July 19, 2018 Report Share Posted July 19, 2018 Since this seems to just be the all-in-one gear thread, I have a totally dummy question, as I have no idea what I'm doing unless it involves just a guitar going in to an amp. I want to run 2 synths and a drum machine into my Yamaha THR10 amp. HOW DO I DO THIS. I was thinking a line mixer, all 3 devices into the line mixer, then into the synth/flat channel on the THR10. That's what I've read people do in multi synth/one amp live set ups. That bit is fine. Further complication arises from the mixers that are stereo output. How do the 2 stereo outs from the mixer feed in to an amp with one input? Is there a cable that will do this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HateEvent Posted July 19, 2018 Report Share Posted July 19, 2018 (edited) I might be missing something in what you’re asking for, but surely to capture both mixer outs into one you’d just want a 2x mono > 1x stereo cable? https://www.vicsdrumshop.com/planet-waves-planet-waves-10-ft-stereo-1-4-to-dual.html You obviously wouldn’t get a stereo effect given what it is going to, but at least you wouldn’t lose one side altogether.
