The Doom Room: ILF Edition

let the bidding war COMMENCE

Damn dude that sounds like a pain in the ass. I drilled holes in my bakelite guard to mount the pickup too just for ease of adjustment.

Yeah dude, it was. And I meant when I ordered the pick guard for the telemaster, I got one with holes to pick guard mount. The computer auto corrected to telecaster. But seriously, for being one of the simplest guitars build wise, telecasters are annoying as shit to adjust certain things. But I just put some locking tuners on my current tele and adjusted the string height and intonation, so everything should be good to go for now with the new quarter pound pickups. I'm excited to get the telemaster parts and get to work.

And I don't know much about Atlas, but their builds look good. Glad I could remind you.

I might have to get one made this summer and report back here. I like the fact that its local to me.... for both just the fact that its local, + not having to deal with any shipping

5150 cabs rule. Don't let the metal core douche bands ruin it for you. I just picked up one for 175 the other day.

I'd love to pick up 2 5150 or MS412 cabs for an easier gigging / touring setup, but they never pop up around here anymore and when they do their angled cabs...

I can't stand angled cabs....

5150's got a bad rap at some point, they're solid. Good cabs, good heads. You can make almost any piece of gear sound like crap, with bad enough taste.

Although, weirdly, they're got fetishized in the used market when whatever the new Peavey non EVH models are called came out. They're exactly the same product and 5150's aren't in short supply, so the brief spike in used prices was absurd. There were a few on local CL with asking prices of like $1k and up..."super rare!"..."discontinued"..."total bullshit!".

Yep, but it's already been accepted and met by almost every band in my area over the last 10 years.


SNAP

[D.o.S.]

shots fired.

He hasn't been on here lately, but chillerthanmost has a great story about someone who wanted to buy one of his Sound City amps and almost backed out because it didn't have the colored dots on the knobs.

[spawnofthesith]

That is beyond absurd

[D.o.S.]

Well, it makes sense if you're buying it as a collection piece.

fuck sound cities.

I was psyched to pre-order the Wizard Fuzz but I was worried I should have also ordered the Modded HM-2. Well after getting the Wizard Fuzz last night I am very very happy. Nick and Magic Pedals did a great job. It is everything I want in a fuzz pedal. I'll be selling a couple of my others off now as I expect the Wizard to be my #1. One thing that stands out to me about the Wizard is that both riffing and leads sound great without having to adjust anything, whereas with some other pedals it sounds like some treble tone is lost when playing leads compared to playing riffs. I am going to get a lot of use out of it.

But it would still be cool to own a Modded HM-2 so maybe next pre-order time if I have the money

glad you dig it
