    I was trying to describe myself to someone

    Nothing remarkable. Just a pick, some strings and a capo. I did play some interesting stuff though:
    -Carbon Fibre acoustic travel guitar. The guy at that stand remembered me from last year and came over to get me.
    -A guitar with the neck scalloped out so much that it looks like a spine. It was such a strange sensation (I'll try to find a link for them, but can't remember the name right now).
    -A Yellowrock amp, which is a UK made valve pre-amp, SS power amp machine. It seemed to be able to go from nice cleans right through to fairly savage gain. Ridiculous amount of versatility and I'll be having more of a look into them.

    If I'd not bought so many pedals over the last year, I'd have played a few of those and maybe picked something up.

    Disappointingly, quite a few builders brought guitars and no amps, which seemed a bit pointless.

    anyone try a Rivolta Mondata, or any Rivolta guitars? I love Dennis Fano's designs but don't have experience with Eastwood's craftsmanship. Local small-brand/boutique shop has one knocked down to ~650 i might hop on.

    It's way too late, or much too early Prestigious

    That's a pretty sizeable price drop on one of those, isn't it. Worth going along for a play at least.

    the pickguard is more aged/yellow than it appears in the pic. 2002 MIM jazz. love the natural finish.

    probably gonna pick up a 2004 G&L L1500 end of the month for a humbucking bass.

    I am in love with the Walrus Audio Julia.

    I used it a lot on this instrumental piece I did, recorded in my bedroom. It has such weigh to it, I love it. Slapped on a little vibrator with it too and a slight delay.

    Probably my favorite on my board right now.

    Anyone here know if a fender jazzmaster neck will fit on a warmoth jazzmaster body?

    Anyone here do that?
     
  19. It will. Warmoth neck won't fit a Fender body, though.

    it’s noise floor is real bad but the gated sounds rule. apparently the alpha haunt is a higher build quality?

    is the noise from the pedal on its own or does it stem from instrument hum?

    and yeah I want those gated sounds real bad

    the pedal itself. part of it is described by OBNE as intentional, and part of it is just really noisy pots. you can tell it’s their first pedal design haha. by all accounts the alpha fixes some of the pedal noise, while keeping the good noise you want, but i haven’t tried one of those yet.
