JakeDobner Joined: Feb 26, 2006 Posts: 12159 Seattle	Posted on Nov 13 2014 12:24 PM I decided against building another Jag! I was already to buy another body, but I couldn't find an unfinished body that had routing that wasn't stupid. And thankfully, most people won't sell you an unpainted body! I really wanted to paint a body black(easy to do!) and get a black one-ply guard... Top

A local guy is coming by on saturday to supposedly pick up both guitars. I just looked at the Rocket. I couldn't remember the date off hand. Man.....that thing is CLEAN! Another good reason for it not to reside here, be used by me. LOL — http://www.facebook.com/CrazyAcesMusic http://www.youtube.com/user/crazyacesrock http://www.reverbnation.com/crazyacesmusic Top
Badger Joined: Nov 16, 2013 Posts: 4537 Wisconsin	Posted on Nov 13 2014 08:35 PM Good deal Jeff. Interventions move in mysteriously musical ways. I'm currently sated. I gave your idea of the dual amp thing at home a try and oh my is that something wondrous. The modded BJr, run Vox-like, with the Champ giving real BF spank, should last awhile. The household is now in the mode of accepting gratuitous Christmas hints (left all over, like for a new multimeter) so will be patient & try to focus on giving. — Wes SoCal ex-pat with a snow shovel DISCLAIMER: The above is opinion/suggestion only & should not be used for mission planning/navigation, tweaking of instruments, beverage selection, or wardrobe choices.

SanchoPansen Joined: Jan 04, 2011 Posts: 1588 Berlin L-Berg	Posted on Nov 17 2014 08:29 AM Hello all. My name is Kilian, and I am a Gearoholic. I hope it's not too late to confess and I hope we all can -together and with the help of reverb - get back on a better path. I do not rememeber how much money I've spent this year on gear... The main problem is, that my wife is part of the band and there's literally noone who stops me from buying new gadgets. I think I need professional help. — The Hicadoolas Top

I think I need professional help. Yes, that does it make it more difficult. My wife will say things like "That looks cool, I love the color, shape, finish" or "You don't have one of those do you?" and that's all the push it takes. — http://www.facebook.com/CrazyAcesMusic http://www.youtube.com/user/crazyacesrock http://www.reverbnation.com/crazyacesmusic Top
