Now then LJ - been a long time mate - saw your name and though i'd stop by to say hello hope you and yours are all keeping well - not seen you around for a long time bro
Yes, very much a beginner. I've tried picking up guitar a few times in my life but became discourged easily(left handed and big fingers). I'm having a ball now and it's now obvious I should have left the 6 stringers alone. ;)
hey bro ll jj a biscuit piezo is a new thing for me.its the first time i ever tried it,what i did is install a piezo element inside the biscuit of the resonator that sets under the bolt bridge and sets on three cans inside the box. so its wired hot direct,i plan on getting a live oak 3 pole pup to install and then run a blend pot between the 2 powerplants. ought to be an interesting combination. thanks for the comment.
MR.LJ,,,Was great meeting you.loved your playing...after much beggin and arm wrestling i was able to obtain your great build...it was perfect... http://www.cigarboxnation.com/photo/simple-start?context=user
thank you.i take great pride in owing a lj.hope to see u again in de near future...
Your very welcome bro!!! You have some nice builds there. I can't wait till I get to that level of building!!!! As far as the Edge box, I am going to have to pass. I am saving that one for a future build. I know how hard it is to find one of them, and I was lucky that a friend had it and was able to let it go!!!!!!!
Don't worry about building a lefty before the gathering. Let's just see if I have anything you want. I'm really intrigued by your LBow. Don't know if he's on here but DF Duck is the 1st guy I ever heard of building a 2 string DB & that was at least 7 years ago. I love the longer scale & deep bass of yours, I'd want the strings much closer so I could pluck them. I look forward to meeting you LJ.
awe thanx so much buddy , but im afraid my fla trip is on hold for thois winter , but im sure next winter i`ll be down that way , i love the area and the weather , compared to here if something should happen , that i end up with an early retirenment , i`ll be ther alot sooner , im not staying in PA.here we have we seem too have 9 months of winter , and 3 month of crappy weather -lol, i have too say , i really miss my family life , been divorced for 7 years now , and i live alone , my g/f is great, but we both agree we dont want to marry or live together , so im pretty used too being on my own, and i am moving south , when my work is done here
we talked of coming down in march , but with this operation and all , thinkl its been put on the back burner
im not driving yet and flights are still too expensive
