Why not get JAT to make a custom order of those black top hats with red numbers like on the Gibson Voodoo guitars, you talked about many pages ago?

I thought the same thing earlier today. We are so alike (and by "alike" I mean we are awesome ).

It's a random Monday night. This one's for all the cat lovers. A little profane language, but what the heck.

No kidding. And alarming seems the operative word after the passing of relatively young rockers in 2017. I just learned about the passing of Pat Dinizio in December, after reading of the tribute concert held for him last night. He was only 62.

Steven Van Zandt, Kinks’ Dave Davies Pay Tribute to Smithereens’ Pat Dinizio

Even younger still: Today Dolores O’Riordan from The Cranberries past away at the age of 46...

Damn right, you are....

Should you decide to do that, please let me know - We might as well do a combined order (might be cheaper that way).

I read about that. You don’t want to assume anything, but I read lots about back pain affecting performing and stuff, so it makes you think of prescription meds.

So not cool.

Very sad....

A TV Silver and may end up picking up a Flying V, but both have TB plus pickups that are a little too boomy. Currently the T bird doesn't leave the house in favor of my Spectors, but was thinking of how to make it more of the sound I want. The "V" is just an opportunity. Love the look. Perfect for what I do, but I know the sound will not be what I like, so I'm anticipating a mod.

At the risk of sounding blasphemous, I don't use an amp. I use a Helix LT amp modeler and go direct. I may be able to remodel an amp and create a separate setting, but I was looking at quick swapping back ups if I needed to. Wouldn't be the end of the world though, for me to throw a different EQ in a chain and do it that way. Probably cheaper than new pickups anyway, right? Thanks for making me think a bit.

That said, for future reference if anyone searches for this stuff like I did, do EMG TBs fit the Epi's?

No, you'll need to rout the cavity "a little" so not a drop in replacement. You could likely open the rout up with hand tools, carefully.

I was not familiar with him or his work. As you can see in article at link below, this dude LOVES pedals (n + . . .)

Juan Alderete: Cause & Effects!

His website and YT channel are great for demos and learning stuff about pedals. Recommend anyone to take a look. Both are called PedalsAndEffects

Might as well take care of that...........

Ok, maybe this is a little more appropriate. Or not.

Alright.................

There's a connection from the Motels to one of our number. Your challenge is to work it out.

Mmmmmm, interesting indeed.

Heck yeah. Gang of Four. Big influence for Prayer Flags, though it was Swell Maps that got the ball rolling

Love the groove and bass on this one.
