Re: Latest vinyl 'finds'.
If you don't know the story of Frank Zappa's "You Are What You Is," it was first released in 1981 on Barking Pumpkin Records as an LP and a limited run of 8-tracks (which are now extremely rare and probably best forgotten about anyway). In 1990 it was digitally remastered for a Ryko releas...

Re: My very first project: Amp Maker WF-55 valve guitar amp
I asked Barry, and he's not sure yet where he'll be sourcing transformers; he's talking to a variety of manufacturers and hasn't made a decision. He told me he'd asked Danbury for enough transformers to get him into the new year. He wasn't able to guarantee I'd get the Danburys if I waited till then...

Re: Dieselpunk Preamp of Doom and the Beast with Two Backs
Why not use transfers for the lines? I did that with the last motorbike I had on one of the side panels. A friend who has a signwriting business made the faux pinstripe lines from vinyl that was on a backer. I positioned them, stuck them on along with a sticker for a chain company I wanted to add t...

Re: Dieselpunk Preamp of Doom and the Beast with Two Backs
What Dave hasn't included is the trim we'd talked about. Bear with me, now, because as a nerdgeek *and* a wife, having admired both Steve's lovely Mets and Nick's (?) 300B design (among many others), I saw no reason that Dave couldn't build something both functional *and* beautiful. Mostly because I...

Re: All New Metronomes.
Once I get the new ones built and voiced, Dave and yourself are welcome to pop over for a comparison session. Should be sorted early in the new year :) We'll definitely take you up on that, and bring the OTL amp again. Might as well give it a good workout before it's replaced by Dave's latest proje...

Re: Fender Telecasters
Oh, now, that IS a stunner. And such a bargain as they're going for a mere £2k! I'll just run right out and pick one up with my pin money. Oh, and a pony too, while I'm at it.

Re: One Hit Wonders
The Look "I Am The Beat" That lead singer looks unnervingly like Richard Hammond. A lot of bands that were one-hit wonders in the US had more than one hit in the UK, of course -- The Vapors being one of the best IMHO. But I've been trying to remember the name of this one-hit wonder band f...

Re: All New Metronomes.
Drawing to scale, with grille. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/7181882/sixinchmet.jpeg WRT WAF, I have to say I find the arch shape at the bottom of the current Mets much better-looking and more elegant than the shape in the above drawing. Is that just for ease of drawing or an intentional visu...

Re: Forgiveness
I have a different take on this one. I think you can let go of a grudge without actually forgiving someone, and it all comes down to taking responsibility. Here's a ridiculously simplistic example: Jim-Bob thinks Leroy is looking at him funny, and as a result he punches Leroy in the nose. Leroy says...

Re: Fender Telecasters
You mean like this.. http://www.guitarcenter.com/Fender/USA-Professional-Telecaster-HS-Electric-Guitar.gc Close! But that one has the double-coil in the bridge position, which is an interesting choice. I think the difference is probably very noticeable -- with the double-coil at the neck and the si...

Re: Mindfulness
Thanks for sharing that Meredith. Depression is difficult to understand for people who have not suffered from it. We all feel down or sad at times, that's life. But depression is a different ball game entirely, for non-sufferers it can be almost impossible for them to comprehend the despair it brin...

Re: Fender Telecasters
Well, if you go with a Strat, that just means more Teles for me. And what I really want, what I really really want -- sorry, was channeling the Spice Girls for a moment there -- is a Tele Custom. But not just *any* Tele Custom. Nearly 30 years ago I was in a guitar shop in Boston, and I saw a Tele w...

Re: What Are You Listening To Right This Minute?
I just fired up this one (an old favorite, though their latest album is GREAT and comes on clear aqua vinyl for extra whatever):
