  1. Fixing up one of my old London City cabinets. Replaced the speaker jack, stuck on a tag with specifications and glued numerous pieces of tolex back on. These Celestion speakers used to be a big part of my sound, G12H30s and then the 55 hz version. A London City DEA130 amp, an SG with P90s and an Ibanez Mostortion made up for the rest of it.

  3. Attempted music, with Alison - Eurithmics - She's Invisible Now.

    They had an album before Sweet Dreams, called In the Garden. This is one from that.

  5. Yep. Definitely prefer the #Gibson burstbucker pickups over the #Epiphone probuckers on the SGs. But at a third the price for Epiphone, a pickup upgrade would still come in well under the cost of the Gibson. But I am going to sell my USA Strat, so it'd be nice to replace it with another USA-made #guitar. Ugh. Sucks to have GAS.

  7. So yesterday I decided to see how a capture sounds, to see if it would be viable to just use the for say fly dates.

    I captured my main rhythm sound on the IRX a couple of times, adjusting the signal gain going into the NC, until the results were free of artifacts. Each capture sounded subtly different—not sure why—but in the end it is insanely good. (1/6)

  9. Went to my local #GuitarCenter to try out some #Epiphone Les Pauls and SGs. Every fret board felt super dry and the strings all felt nasty. Both fixable things .. but still makes it hard to be excited about any of them. Definitely prefer the thinner SG necks these days. And the position of the pickup switch, too. Though the cable jack location was not very practical with the Mustang Micro I was playing through. And I have to say, bringing a headphone amp with a couple of signal chains saved and a suite of songs to play is a great way to compare guitars. Certainly easier than lugging my whole pedal board and hoping the have my same amp! And with headphones on I'm zoned into myself in spite of all the other customers cranking amps in the store.

    Managed to find a shop 90 minutes away that has the Guild Polara Deluxe, so I'll be making that drive on Saturday.

  15. Audio version of garagey mistakey attempted Big Country. I may do this one again with bass and second vocal, but time is limited, and YOLO.

  17. I gotta do more with this looper pedal. Been watching John Nathan Cordy flying somewhere miles above, and I imagine it could be useful even when jamming with others, if there were others.
    Course, I gotta do more in general. Tick tick tick.

  19. It’s a for-real Jackson Super Strat body, rejected from the factory because of minor paint dings, which I fixed before I painted. Wood is Alder. Routed for recessed Floyd Rose, single V &T controls and pickup switch are back-routed to a large compartment. Will need a Jackson neck or another that has sculpted neck pocket. #gearsquad #customguitar
