Most likely my Westone Spectrum I WE1400 .

I used to use Dava Controls, then V-Picks Screamers and Gravity Picks Stealths that were 3mm and 4mm. Then I got hooked on Dragon Picks. My main is 6.7mm while the others are 6mm or so. Unfortunately the guy that made them passed away. He seem to be a pretty nice guy had some really cool...

Getting ready to wire up the Pro Line's pick guard and it originally uses a push/pull pot. I have a CTS one and am not sure how to "translate" the original pot wiring to the CTS pot. *I did find an explanation on how the CTS pot operates.*

New custom guitar project day! At my wife's cousin's 40th party, his brother asked about the Ibby Pro Line project and I told him I needed a bigger drill press for the FR posts. He said his work has that and a CNC. He told me if I ever wanted to make a guitar, get a hold of him. A week later I...

Here's the low down on it. Dropped it off for a low volume and saturation issues. They fixed the low volume via replacing a bad cap, but could not figure out the saturation problem. They chatted with Peavey to no avail as they no longer have the parts there. Here's the saturation problem; when...

Basically, not bought at the same time. :p First up is a Lotus strat copy. Nothing fancy, but it has nice tuners, not the Jin Ho cheapos. Did take a couple hours to remove the nail polish stripes with non acetone polish remover. It now sports "ghost" stripes. The pseudo Bendmaster seperated from...

I'll toss in my old rack setup's iterations. The final form was pretty much the last pic minus the EQ. Modded my Rockmaster and that mod eliminated the need for it. Miss the rack, especially the Rockmaster.

I'll get those up later today. The reverb is mounted above the board, with a pad over the top. I guess I do have a teaser pic of it opened up.

Something is up with the reverb on the Kasino. Turn the knob up and I get a noise/hum. Once it's past 2, it gets louder the more I turn it up. I've read about testing the ohms of the input and output jacks on the box, but didn't find what ohm setting on a multimeter is needed. I'm figuring that...

Got the pedal recently and want to mod it. From what I have read, since it's a Tube Screamer clone, Tube Screamer mods can be done to it. This is what I'm looking at mod-wise; https://stinkfoot.se/archives/800 My hang up is with what's being replaced on the TS, then matching it up on the Arion...

Last weekend we went to a little town that has an antique barn. I had spied some gear. Amongst the gear, I spotted a Peavey Studio Pro 50 and a Kasino Concert head. Would've picked them up then and there, but we didn't bring cash. The Peavey works, but will get a good cleaning. The Kasino, not...

Been a while since I have done anything guitar related, but I got a text from my pal. He sent pics of an Ibanez and asked if I wanted it. Seen the Pro Line Series on the head and the model number on the back of the head and looked it up. I said yes. It's a PL1770, and if the wiki is correct, an...

Re: 1992 Fender HM Strat pickup choices The tone pots for these are the TBX's. The value is probably 250k/1 Meg. From what I've read, the values have changed over the years. As for the volume pots, I don't believe there's a value stamped on them(just a serial #), at least not on mine. I would...

Re: The Guitars you wished you never sold GTX 23. One I had was spot on to this pic. Sounded and played great! Traded it and an Ibanez Cimar towards my first M-II Deluxe Squier Bullet. This was really neat to play on. Can't remember if I sold or traded this one. Westone somethingorother...

Re: NGD-- Korina Explorer I likey! My only gripe is them being neck heavy, but with the right strap, can be alleviated. I slapped a set of Dragonfire Gold Screamers, a Gibson TP 6, and Sperzel styled locking tuners on mine. String 'er up with the Heavy Top EB's(green pack).
