Re: Hot Rod Deluxe; Fromel Mods - Holy Tone!!

I have also performed the Fromel mods about 14 years ago on my HRD circa 1996. I also replaced both transformers and the speaker. This is the best sounding amp I have out of the six that I own. I will never let it go.

Re: Febreze

I remember driving thru the nightmare that is Rt 17 towards the Paramus mall yo check out a craigslist guitar. I seem to remember it was a hollow body Epiphone (Broadway) at a reasonable price. I was stoked. As soon as I walked into the guy's house I knew what was coming, the stench of his freshly ...

Re: Am I an a**hole here - Tirerack take a full day to check payment!

I get mine from Amazon now. Better selection, same prices, couple days delivery. Put 'em on and balance them myself. I use to work in a tire store in my 20's so I know what's what.

Re: anyone tried this type of fret dressing file?

I have this file block (or rather I made my own) in several different radius's. It is made to bevel the fret ends after you nip off the excess after a fret job. You use this to take down quickly a large amount of material and beveling at a 30 degree angle. I would not use it for fret sprout unless i...

Re: Rondo future

I set a one year reminder on my Gmail calendar to remind @tobijohn about buying Rondo. It's in October.... Buying Agile, not Rondo and it looks like I'll need a few more months.

Re: Buddha pickups

So here it is almost a year after I started the post and I have to report that Tim did wind me two p90 pairs that were hum-sized. One chrome and one black plastic. They both sound phenomenal! Thanks Tim!

Re: AD/AL's not dead?

I have the red one and the blue 2800 uniform neck profile and don't notice any difference compared to my two 3000m model necks.

Re: How many AL's have you had?

Only 2. Both 3000m natural binding. One is Teaburst, the other is a Cherry burst. Got them around 2008. Both are ten plus pounds. I don't gig so sitting with that weight is fine.

Re: Any LP-type guitar owners completely abandon humbuckers?

I have a tele I built with TV Jones Setzer Sigs in them and this guitar is the least played one out of 14 that I have. To me, it's just a weak sounding humbucker. Does anyone know if there is a P90 that fits a filtertron route? I just love the P90 tone.

Haven't really spent much time here on the new AGF site, but I kinda miss the old structure that the home page had all the most recent posts from any topic. Can this still be accomplished? Seems like the "water cooler" is the closest thing.

Re: YIPEE! I've Been MOFO'D!

Yup...today's the day for me too. I have been officially released from the MOFO jail. I feel like Andy on the Shawshank movie when he emerges from the sewer pipe in the rain! Didn't bother to reclaim all my photos or posts. I'll just start over at some point. Just did not have the free time for it.
