TT it is!

Not sure you understand “hand planer” operations.
Memorable to be sure!

Johhny was a chemist
A chemist he is no more
What he thought was H2O was H2SO4

Sure, used one for years working construction. It will be fun! What could go wrong? Think of it as a mechanical plectrum.

They were too trebley for me. Heck. EBCFs are pushing it for me on that bass!

That is what I’m digging about them!
We will see how they behave after they calm down a bit. The tone control tames them “well enough “ at home, and via IEM.
Can always take away, can’t add.
They are a little mid hollow, then again so are the Power Steels , to me.

But they are 90% of my first impression that it is brighter than the VP.

Let's do this!..

Since there are no metal baseplates on these Alneo's to encapsulate the coils so they have 3M copper foil shielding. The Neo bars will not fit in the very short cases with the factory magnets.

Big fan of textured phenolic, and that looks awesome.

At this point the only downside I'm seeing is that the stuff is so hard, I'll be tricky to trim precisely to the maple after gluing.
It's much harder than the maple.
May be worth the effort tho, as it looks great, even on the cut edges. And should be near undestructable.

I just went with.1 in my VP: liking it so far.
I often use .1 with my basses.
I tend to like the ability to get to the resonance peak (low mid bump) earlier in the rotation. Then still have more rolloff to go (at the cost of singnal / volume loss)

Okay, going to put the .1 on my VP. Just ordered 2 of it because I’m going to change on my wife’s Mini P too. Thank you

Well I guess that’s one way to “cut through”
Get a good bite.
Sharpen your attack
Flatten the tone.




I’ll see myself out…

No worries! It is not for everyone: but it works for me, in the way I described it. In my experience.

Before I do sound samples, I’ll string them both with fresh D’addario pro steels that I got for 9.00 per set recently.
Then install the 916 AlNeos in the Ebony Vintage Pro.
Will leave all else as is with the purple, the Ebony has already had a pot upgrade and a cap change, the pots are still 500k (linear) same as came with it (just higher quality/ tighter tolerance +\-10%) and higher quality 250k tone pot (audio taper) again what it came to me with. I just upped the Value of the tone cap to a .1
Gets good and dark now

Have not opened purple 64 up yet: will do so when comes time to sample.

Are those mine ?
Please don’t rush, I’m gone all of next week.
And back just in time for a gig on the 7th.

 

[Matt Kustom]

Yes , im working on them tonight to send out tomorrow. I need to get the orders i have out so i can continue doing the tile work in my house.

Awesome Matt: the install will have to wait till I’m back.
Have fun with the Tile work!

Will do some samples before and after install. Will do a text write up along with it. If you find my material useful: you are free to implement it any way you wish.
I’ll publish a review here in this site also.
I’ll grab process pics and glamour (sunlight high resolution) shots as feasible.
Review to include initial impressions, followed by 2 gig reports as I have gigs each weekend.

I will ensure to use the same amp / cab each week, and will provide links to “in the mix” live video examples. I already have some “before” vids.

Excited!

** advance apologies for my mediocre playing **

Slave labor

Hey now! I paid for these!

 

[Stealth57]

Hey now! I paid for these!

And the tile work

 

[/\/\3phist0]

And the tile work

In part , certainly. At least the grout..
Perhaps a bit of sweat equity involved.

 

[Matt Kustom]

And the tile work

I still have to finish the living room a bit of the atrium and the entrance. Doing large format 24x48. Had some contractors do a estimate for laminate , they started crying about the slab and the exposed agragate needing grinding etc, so i did it all myself. Ground the agragate with a 4 1/2 inch grinder since no one does residential grinding around here , no truck to rent one. Been in floor hell for almost two months.

Good golly. Glad you are handy and healthy.
Props! Respect.
Beautiful material selection and execution!

I really liked them Brites too for similar reasons. Im currently using Elixirs now, bright and long lasting! Woohoo.
