Very nice! Can't go wrong with a p-bass.

Neck fits.

Have ordered an AVRI trem. Seemed to be sold out in most of the official fender distributors for some reason.

Decided against a black anodised guard. Thought it might end up looking slightly too tough and less vintage/classic against the ...

Dustin from DoomBloom just sent me the photos of the finished body, so this should start moving a bit quicker now!

Have ordered a 7.25" Bensonite Bridge

Got a mustang style squier ...

I'd say the model T is more iconic, but that's because they used to be cheap.

It's the sound of Red Fang and the Melvins (live) though.

Hilbish Amps have been selling the beta preamps for 600, and their 200 watt heads are much more.
They also did the preamp in pedal form but have discontinued it ...

Nice, I picked up a cheap Korg tape echo last year, and the deal was too good to be true. Asked a few questions of the seller after it turned up and he dropped the comment that "it always sounded great until it blew up". lol.

Haven't found a good tech yet.

So, status so far:

BloomDoom Guitars Jazzmaster body (black, light nitro relic) - ordered, being built.
Chrome F-tuners to replace the gold - found some s/h for sale locally
Cream, Landline Pickups - Beacons (Travis Bean style), custom "highwind" for the C//E discord - acquired

Yeah I like a wound G too, and probably tension on the spongier side. but I've been less fussy lately. After doing silly custom things and swapping out particular strings I usually just stick the d'addario D tuning set on most of my guitars. 11-56, and mostly all in d standard. I've got a bunch of ...

Started to pick up parts for my much delayed JM project.

A few years ago I spotted an interesting mongrel for sale locally, seemed to be the result of a Coronado getting smashed back in the day with the remaining parts and neck bolted onto an old Guyatone/Teisco body.
I nabbed it with the intention ...

"Brutal" might be the best description. It has a very distinctive character.
But with the extra synth modes there's a range of sounds you can coax out of it, so it's not just full on dentist drill.

They've been clever with the options for gas pedal (although I wish it had a proper exp input you ...

When they did the mystery box, the AU/NZ orders were 300 of 10,000... after a short delay to get the pedals down-under, mine turned up pretty quick.
So I'm hoping if the proportions hold up similarly, I might jump the queue a bit. If not, it'll be a cool xmas present to myself!

This other pre-order ...

I ordered on the last day you could. So...

Lost + Found orders placed after 8/18 will ship late November through December. At this point the only thing we can guarantee is that they will ship within 2025, but we’ll move as quickly as we can.


That said it's coming from the Chase Bliss AU hub ...

all right, who ordered this?

I am weak my dudes.

Ordered.

This fellow over on reverb: http://reverb.com/shop/josephs-gear-bazaar-1551

He has been refining his designs, I originally found him through a post on reddit.

Current state of the Squier Jaguar.

It's a vintage modified, came to me with a replaced bridge, (one of the adjustable saddle ones that's always rattling around), neck shimmed and the series parallel mod.

I swapped out the bridge for "The Offest Guitar Bridge" a ...

There's a common fault where the 9-position switching pot fails. So it was stuck on the first preset (orchestra). Maybe I could have lived with it if it were cello or brass!

Couldn't be arsed sending back to EHX, could have got someone local to do it, but have to source the weird part, postage ...

Picked up a cheap OxEAE fuzz locally. I always thought they looked a bit silly in photos, and they are annoying to try and mount to a board, but in person a beautiful object.

Sounds sick. It even has some nice lower gain clang tones, as you would expect from the Obstructures dudes.

Also swapped ...

The Meris Enzo is an annoying bastard of a pedal, but the arpeggiator mode is fun. It’ll pick out the notes of a chord you play and repeat them.

Put it in trails mode, turn it off and then you can play over it.

It has quite a few flaws, but that does mean you can score them quite cheaply.

I guess you could try and cram one of those chinese mini pedals in there somewhere? Like a Nux/Mooer/Sonicake.

I would assume the output jack defeats the speaker, so you'd want to find the hot wire there and insert them into the signal path.

I am tempted. But I think it's the limited release FOMO that is nudging me.
But it's like 700nzd. Then if I want to flog it later, no one else in the country is gonna pay that, then I gotta deal with americans, shipping it back, tariffs, blah blah.
I am trying to save my pennies at the moment. I ...
