Way Major New Toy

Hello World

Another G.A.S. attack!!!
Bought another Jay Turser JT-134DC, "Vintage Burst" this time.
Amber Center fading to Black at the edges.
Fretboard Inlays: Rectangular with Triagle insets (regular stuff).
Same specs and options as the rest of my JT-134DC's.

Needs some Fret work, 5th. & 6th. String Dead @22nd. fret.
Minor buzzing way up there, from 17th. to 20th. fret.
But hey! for $200 are you kidding!!!, I do my own fret work, so no big deal.
To me these things sound ever so sweet.


Well, For Now.
Rock On !!!

G.A.S. Ouch!!! That Hurts!!!

Hello World


2 new toys!


Toy #1:
Squier Vintage Modified Telecaster Thinline, Gold
Rock-&-Roll, Hot Damn this things is nice.
It is still not a Fender '69 Thinline.
Bt it sure beats the heck out of any of the Thinline clones I have tried in the past.


Toy #2:
Jay Turser JT-134DC
My 2nd. one of these!
Great Semi-Hollows.
Same size as a Gibson CS-336.
Flame Maple Top.
Maple Back, Sides & Center Block.
Mahogany Neck, 1 & 5/8" Nut.
Transparent Gloss Black, Gold Hardware
Vine Inlay on fretboard (somewhat cheesy but I like it).
String her up with a set of GHS 0.011 Boomers.
And Wail !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is another one of those guitars I cannot seem to put down.
It just makes me want to play & play & play.


No progress on the "Second Coming" of the "Super-L"
I have bought all of the Hardware, Switches and Router bits.
Now I just have to get two new L'Killer Pickups


That's it for Now
Rock On !!!

Day Job Kicked In !!!

Hello World

The Day Job Kicked In !!!

Not much new to tell at present, still need to get two(2) new Li'Killers @15K and make a second attempt at my Super-L.

New Items In The Guitar Rig:
#1... "Behringer RX1202FX" Mixer, Rack Mount, 8 Mono Channels, 2 Stereo Channels.
#2... "Samson D2500" Digital Stereo Graphic EQ.
----------This thing is "Killer" or is that "To Die For"
----------This thing has 99-Memory locations that can be called up W/Midi controller
----------Any two(2) ways about it, I wish I bought a Graphic EQ ages ago.
#3... "Behringer DSP1424P" Sonic Enhancer.
----------Basically a Two(2) Band "Hi/Low Compressor.

Signal Path:
Guitar (1) > GNX4 (2) > RX1202FX (3) > D2500 (4) > DSP1424P (5) > Amp (6) > Speakers (7)
(1) Mono Out >
(2) Mono In - Stereo Out >
(3) Channels 1 & 2 In - Stereo Out >
(4) Stereo In - Stereo Out >
(5) Stereo In - Stereo Out >
(6) Stereo In - Stereo Out >
(7) Stereo In - Loud Out >>>

With the D2500 I tweak my tone till the "Cows Come Home"

One thing though!
Tweaking anything above 600Hz or so starts to get overly pronounced(Loud?).

Single notes are GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
But cords tend to be Somewhat Overbearing.

Enter One DSP1424P, Programmable Sonic Enhancer.
I can set the High Frequency Compression Point.
I can set the Low Frequency Compression Point.
And the Crossover Frequency.
Input Gain.
Output Gain.
I can program the Left & Right channels separately.

Well, That all for today.


Until Next Time
Rock On!!!
