I'm feeling more curmudgeonly than usual tonight, and I'm gonna do something constructive about it. First, let me start with the following, for everyone who's ever typed "lower 48 only" in a sale/freebie ad. :fing25: :fing25: :fing25: Now that we've got that out of the way, the freebie will...

Quite some time ago, alt.music.ween did a few CD projects of various types - we did a couple of comps with random covers of Ween tunes, as well as a few "album covers," where a bunch of us each took a song and recorded a whole classic album, including Dark Side of the Moon and Revolver...

I bought a couple sets of supposedly CTS pots from an online guy, and I put a set of them in my LP, and I don't really notice much difference between these and the old ones. What makes me suspicious is that I searched google images for "cts pots" and noticed that most of the pots in the pictures...

Listening to a Big Black boot right now, which has me wondering - how the hell did Steve Albini make that godly racket of his?

Anyone?

As the subject. What are your experiences with straps in terms of quality, functionality, durability, etc. I've discovered that there are some straps made by Planet Waves that I really like - they're some kind of canvas, and they're the first straps I've ever had that didn't grab at my shirt...

As the topic says, my newly acquired Duckbucker and QPS are not to my taste - in fact, I've decided that for the moment, I'm happiest with the Stock Fender pups on my strat. That said, if anyone is looking for either of these, and has something else to trade, lemme know. I'm not all that keen...

Ok, after much screwing around, I just wired up my LP with the PGb/59n, and really, is anything better than this? Who's with me? Anyone? Huzzah!

As mentioned in other threads, I acquired a Duncan Distortion, a quarter pound and what appears to be a duckbucker yesterday. I'm wondering if anyone knows what the sticker saying only "7" on the quarter pound might mean...

As you can see, it's got the same pole pieces as a duckbucker, but the photos I've seen of duckbuckers don't have the rail grooves - though they could be underneath em. Anyways, this is one of the three pups I got yesterday, but I'm not sure this one is a real Seymour. As you can see at the...

http://cgi.ebay.ca/Gibson-Les-Paul-Style-BRAND-NEW-Custom-built_W0QQitemZ7407783121QQcategoryZ621QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem I was looking up les pauls, and here's this guy selling a "Gibson Les Paul style" which has a slightly skewed version of the Gibson logo... there's more of them too, which don't...

As the topic says, I need more pickups. More humbuckers, specifically, to broaden my range of available options. Anyone what's got any lying around at reasonable prices that are willing to ship to Canada, contact me. Thanks mangs :> ETA: Needless to say, I'm willing to cover all shipping costs...

equals Neil Young's "Ragged Glory" tone. Awesome. Anyone else into Neil?

As in the subject - what's the difference between, say, a Pearly Gates neck and Pearly Gates bridge? I know that bridge pups are generally hotter than neck ones, to compensate for the less string movement down there, but are there any serious issues with putting a bridge pup in the neck spot, or...

As in the title. I'm sick of being stuck using my Pod 99% of the time - it was fun at first, but now it just sucks. Hence, I'm thinking that an isolation box might be something fun and affordable to make a project out of. Any thoughts/suggestions?
