Jaicen Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 Lolol, no I didn't make a trip to the goat Café. I heard about it earlier this week, very bizarre situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james90 Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 Nice https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=56By0uqucPE @nerd_herd, are you going to that biffy gig in london? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james90 Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 Also, Jaicen. What is the best substance to use to keep screws from loosening themselves? I don't want to use grease, and certainly not glue or anything permanent. It's just the bridge on this guitar that has two screws which don't really do anything. They always end up loosened because of vibration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaicen Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 (edited) That's a tough question. Is it screwed into wood? If so, I'd put a sliver of wood in with some glue to make the hole smaller. If it's metal, That's a bit tougher. Can you retap it and use a larger screw? If it does screw in tight initially, some loctite will work. Either the green or red, not sure which but one is more permanent than the other. Edit: just checked, it's blue that's medium permanent, but there's also a purple low strength, which sounds like your best bet. I've only used red, and I can guarantee that holds nuts into a 1959 Lambretta, and that thing vibrates like a jackhammer.

Thing is, it might need to be moved at some point, so I don't want it completely stuck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nerd herd Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 @nerd_herd, are you going to that biffy gig in london? I wish! Hopefully it'll be streamed. Might have to see them again in the summer to make up for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are their tour dates at the minute? The site isn't working for me. Every link just loads the same page. If they have a date in the UK .. somewhere.. when I visit this year, then I might go. I'm probably going to miss their NYC show unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When are you coming to the UK? You might be able to find it through google. They're listing all the US tour dates for me, but none of the UK ones. I'll most likely be there from May 15th for two weeks. I was there ten days last time, and I still didn't get to do as much as I wanted. I'm not sure if I should bother making an itinerary this time... I never follow it! But I'll need to make a checklist of some kind, just so I don't forget anything again.

james90 Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 I can guarantee that holds nuts into a 1959 Lambretta, and that thing vibrates like a jackhammer. Out of curiosity. Is this yours? Because I'm going to be disappointed if you say it isn't. And for what it's worth, I ended up using some PTFE tape. I originally bought it for a similar purpose, and it seems to have done the trick.

Flump Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 Yeah it's metal. It's pretty loose, so I'm guessing blue would be best. Thing is, it might need to be moved at some point, so I don't want it completely stuck. Use the blue Loctite. It's not permanent at all. Even the red is still removable its just a pain in the ass. Another option is a dab of CA super glue. It doesn't bond to metals well so it isn't permanent and can act the same as Loctite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I've sorted it for the time being with that PTFE tape - it's not rattling loose like it was before, but it's not completely stuck either.

Jaicen Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 Yes, it is mine I have owned it since I was 15, though its in parts at the minute. I'd go loctite over ptfe but if it's working don't mess with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope the checklist will include multiple trips to Nando's, a shit load of the bru and at least one spoons breakfast. Looks like August will be pretty good .

I'd go loctite over ptfe but if it's working don't mess with it. That's almost as long as you've had your strat! And yeah it's fine from what I can tell. It's just a couple of adjustment screws on the bridge that aren't being used. They always vibrate out of position (not a problem, but it bothers me) after playing it for a bit, so I just want to keep them in place.

I don't know if I'm ready to be in a UK crowd just yet. After all, a mosh pit was started way up in the seats where I was at emirates a few years ago. And of course. That was all done last time as well, although I did forget to stop by gregg's I did get a few 'real' pasties though... or at least I assume they were real?? Also, thanks to Olly, I managed to check out Bodean's... best BBQ I've ever had. We'll see if that changes though, as he said he's found a place he likes even more! I agree.

Strangely, last time I saw them the mosh pit was bigger during Howl than That Golden Rule. Oooh, if you go to greggs you'll be able to experience the wonder of a steak bake.

Oooh, if you go to greggs you'll be able to experience the wonder of a steak bake. That's a bit of a problem. That special show was last night wasn't it? I haven't seen anything online yet. But then I guess people aren't posting about it on Muse Messageboard the second they get home like I do. And I did go once in 2015, but only tried the cheese and onion pasty. Then it started raining. The end. Urgh, one day I do really want to get my jazz redone by Mansons. The recent pictures are even more tempting You should get a stealth DC like mine, but without the built in kaoss pad. You'd be a hero. It would be the best creation since the Dombow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaicen Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 You should get a stealth DC like mine, with the twisty laissez pad, and not ruin it by installing a built in kaoss pad. You'd be a hero. It would be the best creation since the Dombow. Fixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james90 Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 I forgot - you liked the OOS/Absolution era guitars most, and those had the built in twisty kaoss pads. Speaking of which. A dubstep-style section follows, utilising pick scrapes, Twisty Kaoss Pad, KAOSS Pad manipulations and other sounds typical of Bellamy's guitar style Probably the only correct information about gear on muse wiki.

I've done BYOC pedals before. They're not THAT cheap, but they are fun, a good learning experience, and often come with instructions on how to mod them as well. Would recommend.

And it's not just that, aesthetically I feel that the twisty Kaoss looked 10 bazillion times better than the mini kp. I really liked the look of the Sxc Stealth.

Found a site where I can get a big muff kit for about £40 which seems a decent price, and it's not meant to be very difficult to put together. There're so many versions though...
