Lyle,

I thought that's a fair price for both items. I can't remember exactly but I paid close to that for my 2000 w/- a few extras about 18 months ago.

As it turned out a previous owner hadn't...

I wont say better but both definitely equal to the originals in their own right are......

Zoot....Eleanor Rigby and Doug Parkinson's Dear Prudence.


For something that is not by an Australian...

Have a look at our Aust., astronomy forum IceInSpace ......there's a number of guys who have made their own mirrors.

Well, I'm a week late posting but that's because I stopped making regular visits here a long time ago.................primarily because of the reasons Bob outlined :2tsup:.

Unfortunately, some of...

Scally,

What kind of epoxy is it and how old? Have you done a small test mix to check gel and set times etc?

:cool:

Well thank you............for what, I have no idea :rolleyes:

:cool:

Well, congratulations, aren't you just damned lucky:rolleyes:..............not everyone has the dollars, the space or the need for gear that is close to either "higher end" gear and/or permanently...

Some good advice here, while natural timber veneers are unlikely to be available in suitable widths, you may be lucky, speak to Briggs but last time I dealt with them, they had a $100 minimum order...

Considering how many variations on a theme Fender's marketing gurus have come up with, it's kinda difficult to keep track but the following confirms my understanding........:

"The Telecaster Plus...

Fender did two versions of the Tele Plus.........one was a two p/up model with the h/bucker at the bridge, the other, like mine, had three single coil Lace Sensor p/ups with the added switch to give...

I like the Holden vs Ford analogy.:2tsup:

Having a personal preference for one brand or another is fine.........I'd always gravitated towards Gibsons, never found a Fender that felt "right",...

Yep, preferably around the neck of Mongrel's client :U

Waits, taps foot, checks watch......and then calendar :U:D:wink:.

Hey LilM, whammys are for....................ah well don't sweat it :D. Develop your LH technique and worry about a whammy later on :wink:.

You talkin' 'bout Don Sl*****man? :U


Pug,

Any change in depth will have some effect, how significant any specific change of depth will be will be mainly dependant on the timber ie:...

Now that we've had the pleasure of seeing the guitar finished, I hope you're going to post a proper sound clip of you playing a song...........you know, it would kind of complete the story. Get dad...

Firstly, on a personal note........I first played a Martin about 35 years ago.......couldn't figure out what the fuss was about back then and still can't. Secondly, based on numerous comments from a...

Great work guys and it's great to see this finished product, it really is a credit to you both............in those last pics it kinda reminds me of a cross between a Les Paul and a...

We've gone OT from the original Djembe subject but the info may be useful for others reading this thread.

I've only stepped into Hydes a couple of times and it/they didn't do much for me.

I...

The "norm" for micing a Cajon is to use two mics and best results are usually obtained from a dynamic at or near the soundhole and a condenser at the front. Specific choices depend a lot on the...

Well? Is it finished yet?








:D:D

The de Jonge's are certainly a family affair. As an old guitarist, as time allows what do I build............................drums :o, something which threw up a whole new set of challenges but if...

Damn, I hadn't looked at this thread before late last night......absolutely awesome to see this guitar coming together...........I can only imagine how much lil' mong has learnt along the way. ...

There is a wealth of info here.........: http://kansai.anesth.or.jp/gijutu/kousaku/easyweb.easynet.co.uk/chrish/homepge2.htm ............especially in the workshop techniques section.

:cool:

I'd have to "question" that, considering most extn cabs are closed back. What needs to be determined is whether the speakers efficiency is enhanced or compromised by either design.

One of the...

SoC,

As time allows I do make ply shells, however, I'm not currently set up to take orders, etc. Unless Deejay have changed, they were only making stave and segment shells, what I would suggest...

Damn, I've a spare comp I'm going to be selling..wish I'd seen your thread before.

:cool:

Sean,

Something else which I don't think is mentioned in that info is that if you're "multiple sheeting" (ie: more than 1 layer of MDF, Gyproc, ply, etc.), it is more effective to use 2 different...

Sean,

Unfortunately, I can't see your pic........maybe a problem with my PC settings or it may not. Anyway, there's some info that may help at the following links...............
...

Meansy,

Not sure where you're getting your answers but by itself, insulation, good or bad, in a wall won't do much for soundproofing and carpet on a wall is no different to acoustic foam......it...

And both noise oriented products state that effectiveness is dependant on the structure itself.

Guys, PLEASE understand, that regardless of what claims manufacurers or resellers of a product may...

My initial post deliberately neglected to mention that in one way or another, I've had involvement in soundproofing and acoustic control in a recording/rehearsal environment for the last 8 years and...

I was in a local hardware store today (not Bunnings) and amongst the "blister packs" of nuts and bolts there was a Metric range and a Whitworth range, plus a lot of other stuff that may have been...

Very loosely speaking, acoustic foam is designed for controlling sound (audio frequencies) in a listening or recording environment NOT for soundproofing, this is a totally different ball game and...

I'd be approaching some of our local joineries, surely some of them have drum sanders and would do a "smallish" job like that.

Paul,

Just before typing my last post I made a point of having a lengthy conversation with DHL just to confirm what my past experience has taught me. Unfortunately, I can't access my paperwork...

Sorry mate, but it sounds as though you're only telling a part of the story.............:

Did you, prior to ordering or arranging shipment, make the necessary enquiries to understand what exactly...

Hey Greg,

Good to see you out and about mate :U. Shoot me a PM sometime and tell me what's going on. How's M going with her music?

It's too long a story to go into here but suffice it to...

Unless there have been some "strange" changes, I'm afraid from our experiences importing guitars, I can't agree with that summation of DHL............as a matter of fact, I couldn't recommend them...

If what you're wanting to import will fit within the size/weight guidelines of the USPS (United States Postal Service and NOT to be confused with the abomination known as UPS) then use the USPS (or...

Luk,

Unless something has changed fairly recently, no one in Aust., is specialising in importing shells and/or hardware for the DIY drum maker, this is not to say you can't import what you need...

Thanks for that.

I'm happy with my Tannoys for now but a future project will be a second set of monitors with Fostex drivers.

:cool:

Greenie,

Nice looking speakers :2tsup: .

Where did you source the Fostex's from and how much were they?

Pity you're so far south as I have two stick welders, one of which I will be selling soon........somewhat less than the asking price of that SIP.

Hey Craig,

I can't hear the files at the moment (no audio connected to the PC) but it looks like an interesting site for backing tracks.
