james90 Posted August 26, 2012 Author Share Posted August 26, 2012 honestly, the length of it doesn't matter, it's just a guideline. Even if it was 2cm, it would suffice. 2 centimeters? Oh right... I'll get the picture soon, what's the best way to photograph it? I have a tripod and all of that, but you said something about putting it against the wall?

Neil. Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 omfg we had that picture printed out at A1 on the door to our architecture studio since 1st year You pretty much nailed the shots on those 2, so either of those. Maybe one like the 1st one for both (so we can compare the shapes lol) It's probably easier to lay them on the carpet than prop them up against the wall cos of their stupidly awkward unusually unique shape.

james90 Posted August 26, 2012 Author Share Posted August 26, 2012 is this what you want? http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i87/BlackHolesAndRevelations/miscguitarstuff/IMG_1581.jpg i have a feeling i screwed something up with the picture, as the first mark on the ruler was right at the top of the wang part... but it looks lower than that in the picture Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

james90 Posted August 27, 2012 Author Share Posted August 27, 2012 I was going to wait until you were back, seeing as you were probably busy fanboi'ing over some band! packaging video was an epic fail, not sure if I should post it BUT, MFC express gets an A+ from me anyway. bubble wrap was of high quality (I counted about 3 different types), and a generous amount was used throughout (including OUTSIDE of the box!). wangcaster arrived in one piece without any form of erectile dysfunction. Highly recommended, can't go wrong, very good for the money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Foos, but they go without saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Foos, but they go without saying. But how did you see green day when... I take it Dave Grohl didn't play his Manson? Seems like he's only used it at 2 or 3 gigs OH and also, it's interesting how this guitar has this weird ringing noise on some notes... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QNdiNsOlqaQ I always thought that was an effect, but I guess not. it's much more subtle on mine - probably because of the weaker neck pickup for some reason the last one I had didn't do it at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the show was awesome so I dont care! oh yeah, it sounds like a piano twinkling or something, pretty cool. Wacky guitars, anyway. Got character!

james90 Posted August 28, 2012 Author Share Posted August 28, 2012 Are you sure? I think when I heard them play Agitated with that guitar I thought, "Yep, that sounds like the weak pickup alright..." Well it's not the same pickup anyway - about :20 in the video above, you can see his had a SD hot rails in the neck. certainly higher output than the stock single coil anyway On a side note, the volume pot in mine was doing that same clicking thing...not sure if I actually need to replace it, as it stopped with a bit of abuse. still a bit noisy though. I have some nice CTS 1% tolerance 500k pots (which cost $12 each ) but I don't think this guitar is worthy of them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheddatom Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 yeh I just need to get some sheets to drape over the shit to make it look more tidy, then maybe chuck some stuff on the walls. It's hard to describe from pictures, but before there was a layer of caked dust, probably 1 or 2mm thick on absolutely everything. It was horrible. The room hadn't been cleaned in probably 20 years and used to be used as a pottery studio. I was using a shitty old mixer, cables everywhere etc. Now I have my mackie set up with better cables, got rid of most of the dust, put carpets in and a settee etc... It's so much nicer now. I realise no-one here gives a shit but I'm well chuffed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crowella Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Holy shit Chedda. That's a great setup you have there. Did you manage to recover all of your gear and get it all working? In the meantime, here's where I'll be next Monday to record. Might have to hop on that piano. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheddatom Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 ugh dat floor!! Yeh I just had to bin a couple of cables, the rest is fine. Most of the water was soaked up by some books which are stored in there while my bro's in Australia. I haven't had the balls to tell him yet.

cheddatom Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 I like it, but it's quite spikey. I use a lot of compression and/or dirt so that doesn't bother me as much as some - some people hate it for the peaks you get. Personally, I think it's funky as fuck.

cheddatom Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 aaww... in hindsight, i wish it all got destroyed. Well in the process of tidying up, I did actually find some spare electrical parts. I could post them to you for free if you fancy not making some more pedals? And I found an encore neck if you want to not build any guitars?
