Hey Spuds.. thanks mate..

Na, the song just came about like this,..

I woke up two days ago a bit angry for no particular reason.. I thought I would put it to music.. :)

Thanks for the time...

Well.. not you.. I mean the song.. that's it's title..

Tried to come up with something a bit vintage sounding yesterday..

Thought I would fish for thoughts this morning..

You Suck...

Hey gang..

Outside of occasional maintaining of my Soundclick stuff I just don't do much internet music anymore, but I did want to drop in and wish everyone a big Seasonal Greeting and of course...

Deea and Blaze..

Thanks for the ears and thoughts..

Hey Gang.. long time no see.. been down for a few months.. had my non deaf ear infected and down with some real ick for a long long time.. absolutely next to being totally deaf.. BUT I am mostly...

Ok.. need to setup the action and neck a bit still and route the battery.

Here is the basic sound idea of what the Modded frankenstrat with the
sustainiac device on can start to do.

There are...

Thanks, got her running now.. changed a few things at once so I can't say exactly, but it looks like after all is said and done, it was a guitar cord that was not exactly shorted, but there was...

Looks like a heck of a project..

Any time lines in mind?

Ever do one like it?

Hiya..

I don't call it 'sustain' myself, even though 'they' do. I rather think of it as strings in motion with the potential to endlessly resonate' *L*.

What happens is that the neck pup...

OK..

I tooled around and got it working 'enough'... I still have to play with it.. but I am going to call this one a wrap.. it just has times it works better than others.. but at times it is...

Ok.. so now I am laughing/crying

So I try it out... everything works great, UNTIL you turn it all the way up (just like last time).

Did it even get tested on full volume on the bench at the...

Ha..

Hiya Marnold..

I just had to get a multimeter myself.. although I own two I also have older kids and couldn't find one..

Hiya Kazz..

You really think Paulina's father will mind? After all, I am an experienced adult and old enough to be her grandfather.. *:what

I'm mostly concerned about it having desirable...

Just got word back from Alan Hoover.

Indeed the included tone pot was bad, yet so was my volume pot. I started with a new 'military' grade pot, and in the middle of trying 'everything' I could...

Complete failure..

I am not certain I failed legitimately (and I do call this one a fail.. this round)... considering what is happening (pups work fine, unless you turn them off, at which point...

Taken everything apart, re-soldered most all the wires from scratch. Am just doing the final resistance check on all the grounds. then I will re-install her everything, put the neck back on, fire her...

I've done all kinds of goofy stuff I probably shouldn't of..

Still doing goofy stuff.. it's only equipment.. you screw with it..

Last night..

Finished by actually getting some sustain from the driver (wheeee) however ONLY when the volume is DOWN.

Been hitching with Alan Hoover who invented the thing.. he has been...

A whole new ballgame..

The wiring is spec.. perfect if I do say so myself..

Just like starting over..

Everything visually checks out to be exact to diagram..

I went and got a huge lighted magnifying...

Put her all together, plugged her in, all the pups work, everything works EXCEPT the driver it's self (with this kind of wiring indicating there is something very simple going on, as everything is...

Of course fire wire is relevant.. more than ever..

FW-800 and E-sata (external hard drive affixed to the inside board) are the industry standards.

For example I have mixosaurus drum E-sata...

Midnight..

All dressed up and nowhere to go..

Neck on, strings on.. everything is well enough to see if the driver works, but I am finished for the night. When it doesn't work or needs adjusted...

No cabinet maker here.. I have chisels somewhere.. it was quicker to 'ust do it' and get it done.. I am no stranger to taking sharp objects to my guitars.. *G*

Yes, I'll keep it updated as I go,...
