james90 Posted April 29, 2012 Author Share Posted April 29, 2012 NEILDOT 6 way switch (positions 1 and 6 are the same btw) standard 3 way (which says patent pending on the other side, but it just appears to be your standard cheapo 3 way PCB switch) 250k tone 500k volume alpha mini pots. what a pleasant surprise. Also, it did come with these strap locks, but I'm not going to use them. I'm sure guitar fetish sold the same ones (which had "ACE" stamped on them I believe) and they were pretty cheap.

Lord MFC Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Yes, if you promise to leave some MFC on it for me to take home Oh and some hi res: i didn't know where to get a case for it, so i just took one of my strat cases and cut a few chunks out of it so this would fit styrofoam everywhere See if it fits into an acoustic sized gig bag (if you have one)... I'm sure crowella once found a hard case that fitted his Londaxe though, ask him, or search teh interwebz Also, it did come with these strap locks, but I'm not going to use them.

It will fit into a gig bag fine (I sent the londaxe to Crowella in a fender electric sized gig bag), but I prefer cases. they more resistant to water It's fine though, I just cut a piece out of the gator case I have. fits well enough now. I would've got a madarozzo case, but I can't find those for sale anywhere If I end up selling it (probably will, I'm tempted to get a deluxe now...) I can't cover any damage that happens due to cheap strap locks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neil. Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 NEILDOT Hmmm.... that's a bit disappointing for such a bespoke guitar. Its such a shame that some of the top guitars dont put more care into wiring, although I guess it's hidden. I was expecting things like fancy braded shielded wiring, maybe some fancier pots or something. Glad to see they used a good rotary switch anyway, but it's intruiging that it's dual layered. I haven't seen one of those in aaaages. Doesn't look like it's particularly complex wiring though. The rotary as a sort of "master pickup combination" switch is clever. If i put in the time, it could be worked out as to the combinations. I've seen some wiring diagrams that use a combination of switches to do the same thing that does with one rotary. Gives me some ideas for when I get around to redoing the wiring for the LP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gives me some ideas for when I get around to redoing the wiring for the LP. Yeah, I was expecting a little better as well. The emex had a better 3 way switch, but otherwise, it's not really any different. I might still have a gut picture of that guitar somewhere. there are some instructions that came with it which explain the pickup combinations, so I can scan those in if you want Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crowella Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 I found a hardcase that fit the Londaxe. I forget what guitar ir was meant to be for but it fit in nice and snug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I forget what guitar ir was meant to be for but it fit in nice and snug. when i had it, I put it in a bass case with loads of padding. this is what i'm doing now... it's a gator strat case with part of the compartment cut out, and some packing material to prevent the guitar from getting covered in styrofoam bits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man, I hate dusty gloss Is there anyway to knock back a gloss finish to matte or something similar without refinishing or making it completely crap?

Lick My Face Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Man, I hate dusty gloss I find it endearing. Plus, it's a Bass I bought for £250 when I was 16. Like I care for its aesthetics. As long as it suits me, which is dooooes. Plus it's been with me for every gig, including the same day I bought it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheddatom Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Time for some proper pictures of my gear! Dusty as hell, like I care. It looks like you're using the LS-2 to blend everything except the wah? Which doesn't make a lot of sense to me Also have you heard of the SFX Thumpinator? You have a lack of more precise EQ so this device would give you a real boost in headroom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bs Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Arrived this morning. Sounds awesome. And makes the Wah Probe sound insanely good too. And everything together. Loop Station up next to fill some of that empty space. Then I'll get some pedalboards to put everything on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
