Hey Fleur, would love to but I am sadly undertalented...lol. Hoping to jag a couple of days up the coast before xmas are you and Paul playing anywhere between now and then? I'm really keen on meeting & learning from aussie/local CBG folks. I'll be at Perigian & Boreen Point... I drum so might also get to Mooloolaba fire if I can time it right..

Fleur, Thanks. Right now I am working on an amplifier that is built around a few IC chips. I am using two 741 chips and an lm-386 power amplifier chip. It will have a mixer for three inputs, a pre amp and the power amp. Figuring out now where to put the controls now. I will try to make a video for you when its done. I salvage a lot of parts and buy a few. We will see. I usually give-em away when they are done.

Cheers

Thanks Fleur. Had the dogs at the beach yesterday and found some more nice driftwood so maybe more to come. I would sooo love to come to Australia and jam with you guys!!!
I had trouble "friending" people from their profiles, too, a while back. Then one day it got better and worked again. Ah, the mysteries of the internet! I don't think Shane had anything to do with the fix, I think it was a Ning thing.
I'm not sure what the "invite friends" link is for at the top-right of the page. The easy way to add friends is to click on a members picture/avatar, go to their page & click "add as friend" Maybe this helps....
I'm sure it's just as special to him. There's just something about giving one to someone and watching them make music with it...can't wait for more pics...
The brass looks nice in your pic! My next bottleneck slide I think I'll try taking the top off as well so the whole thing is straighter and more consistant. Maybe a bit shorter too. I'm trying for a stubbie like Shane is suggesting.
Thanks Fleur I'm really enjoying the artwork on the Cuesta-Rey and lovin' the sound!
I did make the slides myself from a vid I found on CB Nation. Used my dremal tool and some diamond cut off wheels I bought on ebay.
Welcome aboard, Fleur! You will find lots of helpful folks and information here on all things CBG (CBU, CBB, etc.) Feel free to poke around, ask questions, and post your stuff (photos, recordings, videos, etc.).
Most of all, have fun!
Tres.
