What kind of top is that?

Its a volume\volume...I would've preferred the blend option, that may be the only 'Persian Stitch' so to speak.

I haven't seen too much discussion on here about picks, picking techniques and killer players who play with a pick (or both fingers and picks). [If there are other threads, could someone please link them here.] I just had these custom made, finally Dunlop figured out that combining the shape...

Just started ripping on this...It's a total game-changer. Custom Sonus, Alder body, Katalox top. I asked them to move the input jack a bit closer to the strap button...ask and thou shalt receive. Backside shot of the cover plate with recessed trip pots for Low-Mid-High-Output (for extra...

...They break, often and easily.

Someone just linked me to this...flattered... There are other posts with my pedal/signal chain. The important stuff - Sansamp Bass Driver DI and Aguilar Tone Hammer are running most of the time, Mini Big Muff with the Wicker switch - only comes on at certain times, Morley Volume Wah for...

Anyone have anything new to contribute to this thread? I just got one, and underestimated the size of this beast... I'm having a rack built now, and would love to find a way to incorporate this into my rig in a stable way that doesn't cause any overheating etc. I wrote to Paul at A Designs...

For the record/update, the stock bridge I have on there right now - the saddle screws keep unwinding themselves while I play, and cutting up my hand, mainly on the E. Partially because my palm is muting/touching it, but still...shouldn't be doing that. Maybe I'll nail polish/lock-tite that...

I like what I hear so far... I just got through the first rehearsal, somewhat smaller rig than what they're going to get the most airtime through...but otherwise, I thought the preamp and the pickups both sounded pretty sick! Lots of nice sizzle. I'm used to humbuckers, so the hum caught me...

Squier saddles are pretty stable. Stays in tune all the way up the neck. I may be able to swap some old pickups for a badass with a friend, so I may at least try that and see how I feel. The passives don't sound right for what I'm doing on tour. I use a lot of gritty distortion and like a hot...

I have a set of the AG-70's and an OBP-2 preamp sitting in front of me. The preamp is definitely going into a 2002ish Fender American Standard Jazz Deluxe. Right now there's a pair of Quarter Pounder's running passive, and I need MORE POWER! I want to try the Aguilar pickups, and will...if...

I tried the lime-away. That didn't do anything significant, but it looked cool. I ended up getting a jewelers saw and cutting the saddle screws off, trading out saddles and screws from an old Squier 4-corner screw bridge. They seem just a hair wider than the original saddles, but they work, no...

The oils used were what was available...Doesn't really change the fact that the allen wrenches just spin in the sockets regardless...needle nose pliers reversing them out didn't get me anywhere either. The only salvage here is the bridge plate and screws. I'll certainly settle for simple and...

Price is not as much of an issue in the realms we're discussing. I've resigned myself to a certain amount for everything, so chances are I'll replace the bridge before I Lime-Away it - although I have considered it first, and have attacked it with bike chain oil and WD-40 (what was available)...

Why a stock bridge? I feel you on the nut...more than likely wasn't going there anytime soon.
