i mean... i could do the matching headstock myself, i culd sand the lacquer off the back of the neck, but why do i have to pay so much for neck binding
i know it's not that easy to do, but i don't know... i want this
why not buy a replacement neck with binding? to bind the fingerboard you'd have to refret it as well unless you find someone so good at routing that they can rout a binding channel AND take the bits of tang (the vertical part of the fret that fits into the fingerboard slot) off the end of the frets which would otherwise stick out of the binding. it'd probably be less expensive to get a new neck.
because it seems i'd still be looking at a circa 400 dollar investment (actually more, around 500 with the shipping and taxes and customs fees etc)
So I brought my pedals over to play with my step dad today. He's into like Pink Floyd and a lot of other classic rock, but he was loving the shit out of my smallsound/bigsound pedz and my Kill Kill Filter. Felt good exposing him to some ILF shizz.
I guess the transition from Classic awesome to contemporary weird is timeless. I mean up until I was 17 I was hardcore "R.E.M. is the last good band ever" then I got into stuff like The Flaming Lips and Arcade Fire (also dance-punk). Then when I was 20 or so I got on ILF and I was just at the right spot for the kind of stuff on here.
Getting people into good shit is just about getting them at the right place at the right time. My older sister used to drive us to high school and play stuff like You're A Woman, I'm a Machine and Relationship of Command. I'd be like "ok, whatever" at the time, but now I'm like "Death From Above 1979 are one of the greatest bands evar!!!!!"

I love everything about Winter except getting out of the shower at 6 in the morning and fucking dying. WA really needs to get on this under underfloor heating thing.
