Cut and Combine

[Gilmourisgod]

Nice gonzo carpentry. My OCD perfectionism would impel me to "improve" things aesthetically, which would make no difference to how it plays. I agree though, now you are screwed. Nobody seems to build one guitar once they realize its mainly the desire to do it, a handful of tools, and time.

This project is awesome made even more awesome by doing the major surgery in less than a week!

At long last...

Got it back yesterday from the tech. Very fitting to get it back on my birthday, a sweet little gift to me.

Plays well. Bass is setup with a bright medium gauge string and the SG has 12's since im used to a thicker string (see the baritone behind it).

The EQ on the bartolini preamp I installed seems to do about nothing. Oddly, the EQ on the original bass did about nothing, so im thinking maybe the soapbars just suck and need to be replaced. Otherwise, the blend is great and the push pull is a nice feature.

The only thing that sucks now is I'm gonna have to buy another keeley pro comp for the guitar because I dont want to combine signals at all.

Happy B-Day groove.

Sweet! Looks fantastic.
Would you mind if I shared a picture of this funky fusion?
I know a couple cats in NY who might get a kick out of it... (Larry Hartky is one of them)

Also...
The moniker- "Epiphartky" ....must stick.
...cuz that s*** is brilliant.

I often suffer from Epiphartky after a meal of burritos and beer. A Man’s gotta eat.

It looks like you're having a lot of fun with this project, congrats!

 

[TrustRod]

I would so love to see you get famous playing this thing and having cheap knockoffs on the market.

 

[Gr00veJones]

That would be something now wouldn't it? I'm currently programming ableton and my midi pedals to do some really cool looping/fx stuff. I doubt I'll ever get any attention on my technical proficiency but I've got the gimmick game pretty well managed.

As promised, a little sum sum:
