I ordered a bunch of the Neutrik PowerCon true 1 connectors, I’m going to modify my Furman that lives in the amp rack so that I have locking hot patchable connectors. I also want to see if I can fit them into the Amps because once again lockable hot patchable 20 amp connectors would be great.
Spent the day playing with REDCO’s custom rack panel design tool. The panels look cool but will not be cheap!

I was pleasantly surprised to learn that the 44's have an internal jumper that can be set to "M" or "V" to alter the sound of the mic. I'm pretty sure the "M" setting is to sound like "me", and the "V" setting is to sound like "Vincent". You know which one I'm going to be using.  |

Traded a Gibson Les Paul Studio in (my opinion) hideous wine red finish for a Fender American Standard Strat in "Electric" Blue. Pretty poorly installed "Hot Rails" in the bridge and neck but luckily he still had the originals. I decided to order new pots and a 5 way switch and redo it with nicer wiring...worth saving myself the headache of trying to clean up what's there.

1983/84 Fender Strat in really really nice condition, same colour as my 1994 Strat underneath. Are people falling out of love with Strats? Very surprised that they both feel different on the fretboards but to decide which is better would be impossible to tell. The pickups in the 83/84 do sound noticeable different then the the more polished ones in the 1994 model.
So it’s a Dan Smith era with the perpendicular input jack and just one tone knob? Those can be had for very favorable money on occasion and they are good guitars. My first real guitar was an 83 strat, but sadly it was stolen. |

My first real guitar was an 83 strat, but sadly it was stolen. Yes its a Dan smith model with 2 x knobs and input jack on scratch plate. IT plays very nicely and has not been used since 2003 and is in very good condition. |

Bought my first CAPI thing, a BT50 with gar1731s and Litz. If I love it, it'll become a pair.

It’s simple to use for once but sounds huge. Edge terminated capsule and no annoying Walmart psu. I used it to capture a whole drum kit and it did a stellar job. Wade has done wonders with this. A is a big fat sound and B was a little quieter and more dynamic and sensitive. Really, what’s not to love. It’s a little miracle. |

It's funny, my first "good" guitar was an American Standard Telecaster from the mid-90's, and the Strat I just picked up is from the same era and it's interesting how immediately familiar it felt. I've owned a couple other Strats but this one feels "right" Not a huge fan of the American Standard Strat pickups with the flat pull pieces so I ordered a set of Pure Vintage '59's to try, as well as a mint green pick guard and aged white hardware in the hopes of "mellowing" it out. Electric Blue (similar to the Colbalt Blue they have now) with the pure white pick guard just doesn't look right to me. |
