First of all, I'm glad Bill is sober! Second - his set up tips for
a jag are spot on. my AV Jag came with 1/8" shim ( at least), I
left 'em all in there, and have heavy 12-53 strings. No buzz. I
think especially with the Jags short scale, Heavy strings are the
way to go.
When I pulled the guitar apart, I found the date it was assembled
was 10/31/03 - Halloween, and the assembly guy drew a jack-o-
lantern on the neck pocket! How cool is that?! I'd have taken a
photo, but my digital camera wasn't around.
I got sniped on a D.D. album (summer surf) today, by $1! What a
jip!!!
Marty is right, crank that truss rod, don't be scared. I found it
very helpful to get a really straight ruler or straightedge that is
over 12" long, preferably metal. when you start a set up, make the
neck perfectly flat to start with. Looking at it with your eye
isn't accurate enough. I've never run into a neck that wasn't
fixable with less than a full turn of the rod.
I still love Thomastik Infeld Flats.... Also, Ivans tip on
Rotosound round wound strings was the greatest. THE BEST round
wound strings I have ever used. Thanks Ivan!
My Reissue Reverb tank is working flawlessly, and I kick it at
least twice a week for the effect. perhaps treating 'em bad is the
way to go.
Did I cover all of it Marty? Ha!
Chris
P.S. I got a copy of the Packards Pray for surf.... Pretty cool!

Speaking of sniping. Did I beat anybody for a Surf Coasters albums
last night? I assume you are talking about ebay.

That about covers it, Chris. I've also had no probs with my RI tank for at least
three years now. It's completely stock. I have to wonder if those who have
problems with their tanks experience such probs as a result of tinkerin' with
'em.
Anyways, to keep from gettin' sniped, I proxy bid to a high enough level such
that I would be relieved if I got beat out. As you bid, you have to ask yourself
if you would be okay being beat out by a dollar. Of course one can also use a
snipe service for a fee but you still have to give them a bid and if someone has
a high proxy, the snipe will be too late. A Ventures quad live '71 album went
today for better than 120 clams. I'm glad I didn't win!
I hope "Pray for Surf" wasn't too religious for ya! Someone actually told me
they stayed away from that album 'cause they thought it was gospel oriented.
Yes, PJ got heavy handed with some titles on later albums but "Pray for Surf"
was religious only in the album title.

That'd be me, by a buck fifty or so. No hard feelings.

If you e-mail me your address I can burn a copy and send it to you or
send you an electronic copy to your e-mail or I could upload it to my
school's server. I had to win that album. Dream is my favorite Surf
Coasters song and I have never heard the album version. Add Tsunami
Struck and covers of Scratch, Penetration, and Lets Go Trippin and
that is all one needs. Scratch is one of my favorite trad tunes and I
am interested in hearing lets go tripping with lots of reverb. Dale's
version lacks reverb if I remember.

Hey Chris, I was born on Halloween. I got dibs on
that guitar if you ever decide to unload it, cool?
Just go ahead and save my addy in your address book as
"dude who will buy my halloween jag one day."
So is it a pretty cool-lookin' jack-o-lantern?
Yeah, we do run out of things to talk about, but if we
didn't like rehashing all the same old garbage we
wouldn't be here. I was getting ready to fire up
another "best aftermarket Strat pickup" debate.

You got it Richard. I don't think I'll unload it any time soon,
but you never know what the future holds.
The jack-o-lantern is okay. It looks kinda like a smiley face
with a stem. Next string change I'll photo it.

Thanks for the sobering wishes Chish :). You reminded me, I haven't
kept my AV stock. When I got it I took it apart and found 3 shims
in the neck heel, I went ahead and added a 4th shim. From what I've
heard from you, you certainly have the "Jaguar tone" down.
