Sure, but what do you put down with the glitter and what do you put on top of it? —Insanitizers! http://www.insanitizers.com |

My Number 1 reverb unit. It's been sounding kind of lousy lately. Giving it a bit of a tune up. New pan, new tubes, re-form the filter caps, the usual stuff. ed —Traditional........speak softly and play through a big blonde amp. Did I mention that I still like big blonde amps? |

ludobag, a tip, if you spray a quick coat of regular gold paint before applying the sparkle it would help with even coverage. A little late I guess but there you have it. Cheers, http://www.facebook.com/CrazyAcesMusic |

White or tort. NOT black! You should use a plum guard, that'd match the gold just fine. Plum and gold is often used in combination. Btw, very nice work! —Last edited: Oct 12, 2014 03:19:48 |
