New Warmoth Day

Re: New Warmoth Day

Haha! I can actually use middle/bridge position and roll back the volume for a warm sound.

I can see that working for you. I don't know if you know Allan Holdsworth but he is one hell of a jazz fusion guitarist. I noticed on most of his guitars he has only one pick up and that's in the bridge position. BTW...cool looking guitar. Any plans on painting the body like a psychedelic paint job?

Re: New Warmoth Day

Yeah, that's cool that Holdsworth uses bridge position to play jazz (fusion). Nah, I'm not gonna paint the body. I like the sound of unfinished.

I forgot to mention that my other Warmoth is a neck humbucker only that I use for jazz.

Eric Johnson prefers the sound of red.

But as a more serious question, how does rolling back the volume make it warmer if you have a treble bleed but not a tone control? That should make it brighter.
 
Re: New Warmoth Day

Cuz of the 220pf is a good value to where the tone is still in the ballpark of tone on 10 - not muddy like having no treble bleed - but it does darken slightly. It's a good compromise for me. I have 150pf on my jazz guitar.

I think what he is trying to say is that the purpose of a treble bleed cap is to recover treble lost by electrical interaction between the volume and tone controls when the volume is turned down. Without a tone control all it does is make it so the volume pot doesn't affect the highest treble frequencies, making the tone brighter as you turn the volume down.

That's incorrect. Tone darkening as the volume pot is turned down isn't only due to having a tone pot connected with modern wiring. It's also due to the highs getting bled off first in the volume pot itself as more signal is directed to ground.
 
Re: New Warmoth Day

I'm not leaving $250 of Duncans in a guitar in order to sell it for $50. I don't have the original pickups.
 
Re: New Warmoth Day

A piece of crap beat up Squier neck that I sanded the logo off and replaced the nut poorly? Or a 1 1/2" thin body that I chopped wood out of? I'm not selling that shet to someone and working on it to make $5 of profit. How about you buy a plane ticket to my house for $200 and I'll give you the guitar and you can sell it for $5.

Congrats on the new guitar, Clint… She’s a beauty! I hope you get lots of enjoyment out of her. [emoji106][emoji2532][emoji41]





Does “what’s her name“ know that you have a new blonde in your life? [emoji12]
 
New Warmoth Day

Possibly a dumb question alert:

Is the body on that unfinished? Or is it a matte type finish with no gloss?

It looks like bare wood...

Thx! No, what's her name doesn't know about the new blonde. She gets mad when I give other women attention. :P
 
Re: New Warmoth Day

What a cool, unique guitar. I love my swamp ash Warmoth...I don't have a problem with fret ends on mine- maybe it is the SS frets? I dunno.
