Rockin’ sounds good. Good luck!

Thanks!

Good googly moogly.... Anybody in here use a Cali76? I picked up Stacked version (it has two 1176 compressors in series) yesterday and it is a dang game changer.

I managed to put the Casady pickup in a Tbird cover.
Made a bracket with the printer and embedded 4-40 nuts in the towers.

It needed 2” long 4/40 screws and they just came in.
I might do the fake screws on the ring and double sided tape it

That looks so much better than the white one!

I had respect for him until his Covid era vids with his wife. Not so much anymore frankly.

He can be odd. But Heroes would probably not have turned out to be the great song it is without his contribution.

I'm having trouble keeping this in tune, do you think I need a new nut? I already replaced the tunas...

[GonePlaid]

They've been saying that for years.

Flood you say? Got you covered. I live on a hill. Want my address?

We live by a cliff. Drop over sometime.

Sounds 'fishy' to me.

Oh my.

 

[Funkster]

This thing!
It's insanity!

The two knobs at the right are the channel volumes - they're barely at 2
It's not quite as bassy as a some bass amps, maybe a bit more lo- mid, but with the band it's riding in mix very nicely.

Killer Rig.. V, I watched all you're vids a few times over the years Your bass tone on Hungry like a wolf and Sancuary are amazing!

I’ve seen that brand before. It’s a Mender Bass…needs mended.

Sweet looking bass! I do think the T-Bird pickup is a classy looking design and it looks nice on that gold body. I found a set of Epi 760’s for my Epi Pro IV and am going to rewire the control harness. Any recommendations for pot values? Doing away with the current pre-amp.

Thanks! I'd go with 500K pots and a .047 cap

 

[Engle]

Very nice, Irv. Did the metal cover affect the tone compared to plastic?

Doesn't seem to make any difference. I've got some recent tracks recorded with it stock, so I'll record the same with the metal cover and compare.

 

[Engle]

That looks so much better than the white one!

Yeah, I might add a bridge cover as well!

 

[Engle]

Nice work!!

Thanks Andy, I'll probably post more details and pics in the Casady thread.
