I did SO good for almost the entire month and am exploding here at the end of the month. Just picked up a SSBS Buzz in person locally for a killer price $150. That one has been on my GAS list for a while and it seems like SSBS isn't making new stuff anymore? Still need to find a fuck/heck.MaxMaps wrote:Well fuck ......
I didn't expect to buy a Part Garden but I just did. Plus I am helping homie Laowiz out and its custom etched!I am really excited to put it in its paces - that's pedal #4 for me this month and its almost all dirt
I dropped my DE off at 12th fret and it looks like the push pull pot stem is either broken or cracked ( some how broke in shipping) but a small copper cap is going to make a good tempoary fix when I bring it back in to drop what ever pick up I decide on getting. ( just have to wait for Sasha to make some)
I also busted through 2 high E strings in less than a month so they are going to look at the Trapeze and bridge to do some fine adjustments. I think after its set up I am not going to upgrade the tuners on Ray's recommendation, I will just have to adjust how I tune and then go from there.
So if your curious to what I think about the guitar is that I am still love it, despite having some issues for a 1k+ instrument. The body, fretwork, over all voicing and feel of the guitar are just too damn good. It actually makes me more lusty over some of the USA made versions of the same thing.
haha...I somehow ended up at 4 as well. Controlled myself on the fuck overdrive that was posted the other day, and it went fast and now I'm all
I also missed a Dunwich DA-120 small enclosure that appeared on reverb and went in the blink of an eye. But YIKES the price it went for. I am not sure I could ever consider something like that. My 4 have been:
1 - Mask Audio Electronics - Tall Font Black Math -- I had to...it was a tiny run, I'm a big fan of Black Math and a bassist primary the Tall Font has the clarity. I couldn't be more surprised at how incredible it actually turned out to be. I feel extremely fortunate to have snagged one.
2 - Spruce/Dirge - Astrolicious v2 -- One came up locally at a really fair price. The seller ended up going radio silent for a week and felt bad so chopped the price even lower and at that point it would've been crazy not to jump at it. I was really curious on this one and another stupidly small run...it's different and can dial in some cool sounds, but the cool sounds you can get aren't anything you can't get elsewhere. I need to spend more time exploring what uniqueness it brings to the table, but none-the-less, it ended up being a giveaway price.
3 - previously mentioned SSBS Buzz --- long time GAS want, and far exceeded my expectations and hopes.
4 - colon exploder from b/s/t -- because vet bills, and super fair priced oddities I've been curious about ends up motivating
...I also got some expansion chips for a moffenzeef msg ii noise synth, but that doesn't really count. So far, I'm 100% over budget
Tom liked the final results sooo much that based on this one and another custom Black, he decided, he will release a new Black Fuzz Mk2)
Just let me say: thank you Jero, I love it, in it's simplicity it's amazing)
sent me what is an amazing looking part garden. Total alternative fuzz tones out of this bad boy.
