Phill Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 you could spray a clear lacquer over the body if you want to keep the sharpie on there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Batman. Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Yeah, it will fade but it'll take some time. I did some testing on the back of the bass and it took some serious rubbing to get the sharpie off. And a tip for fret dots: use acrylic model paint, and coat with a couple layers of satin/gloss finish designed for models. I did that to my fender at the beginning of the summer and they havent faded/chipped yet Hmmm yeah, it might look good faded though actually, you never know. And thanks for the tip! Thinking of just replacing the fret dots though, apparently it's not too difficult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bentley Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 you could spray a clear lacquer over the body if you want to keep the sharpie on there. Probs wont for 2 reasons: 1) Money. paying for college this semester wiped me out 2): Hmmm yeah, it might look good faded though actually, you never know.

james90 Posted February 9, 2012 Author Share Posted February 9, 2012 Jim... Oh and Impulse, I've heard from my tech about the bassman. It had a few small issues, but it wasn't doing what it did when I had it... It doesn't need too much work though. It mainly had some cold solder joints and the power cord wasn't grounded properly.

james90 Posted February 9, 2012 Author Share Posted February 9, 2012 got my new pedlol board. finished wiring it up for the most part (just waiting for one last pedal) the design is very well thought out... highly recommend them http://www.nycpedalboards.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominic. Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Does look neat, still a lot of room for more pedalols though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IntelligentAl Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Nice, I like that design. Can you take some profile shots? Its hard to tell from the picture but it looks like there are various levels? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimboMansonMB-1 Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Nice pedalols, James. I like that pedalboard...looking at getting one of these, the new Trailer Trash ones: So much Strymon. So much win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bs Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 That's because none of the pedals are connected, haha! A shitload of patch cables and power cords will soon mess it up a bit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if you could get the pedals hard-wired to the board... like holes drilled through the bottom and physically wired up in the chain underneath.

Yeah, Trailer Trash do that. Lots of companies, actually...LA Sound Design, Bradshaw/Custom Audio Electronics. Then there's Pete Cornish, who quite literally builds your pedals into your pedalboard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james90 Posted February 10, 2012 Author Share Posted February 10, 2012 Then there's Pete Cornish, who quite literally builds your pedals into your pedalboard that's your worst nightmare Jim Another shot of the pedalboard. I should have it fully assembled when the other pedal gets here tomorrow not sure what's going next to the phaser. maybe a fuzz pedal (if I ever find one I like ) altoids tin with picks will go above the whammy and wah. obviously.

You already have a Fuzz Factory in most of your guitars, though... Thanks I sold that a while back - seemed a bit too nice to have on a board and having the finish chip after a while Don't tell that to the new owner though Hopefully I'll have pictures of the "completed" board tomorrow and yeah, but I'm not really a fan of having the built in FF. If I had a choice, I'd only have it in the DL-1 (just because the original did) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opie Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 and yeah, but I'm not really a fan of having the built in FF. If I had a choice, I'd only have it in the DL-1 (just because the original did) Second that. Although mr. Bellamy has done some crazy cool stuff with the FF, it´s completely useless most of the time. I rarely use the one in the DL-1 but it is definitely a must have to maintian the originality of the gutiar. My FF pedal sits somewhere in a drawer...

Olly. Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Yeah I'm not a fan of the FF, can't really see the point. Hence why I liked kevs dl1 which had no effects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phill Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 If i had a fuzz factory I think I'd rather have it in the guitar than on the board. Not for squeals, but for changing between a thick lead tone and a crisp rhythm tone quickly between sections of a song. That or a Fuzz Probe I guess.

When I played the DL-1 in Manson's, I really loved the inbuilt FF because of this ability. And being able to PiB PWOPERly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
