Multumesc Adin! ****************************************************************************************** Updates: *This Reghin 1976 3/4 violin belonged to my gfnd's late grandfather, and is in need of some general maintenance, which I will do in the future: - so far, I gave it a thorough cleaning (very hard crusted dust from sitting over the years) - will need a new bow - new nut / new bridge / possibly new tuners - some black staining on the fingerboard - the case needs some work (derust, latch fixing) *Blade California in for some tinkering. Sounds great now! This guitar came through a courier from a different city. - redid almost all the wiring; had to clean an older(but good) Alpha pot. Had 250K before, but sounds much better with 500K now. The battery snap was missing, so I added a new one. Bridge pup changed to Duncan Custom Custom, and I needed a lot of autoadhesive foam to get it at normal level haha. - fretboard cleaning + fretwire mildly cleaned a bit, setup and some nut adjustments. The customer wanted the trem just a little bit above the body, and also to make the saddles parallel (they tend to be hard to stay in place neat, but I got that sorted out). Also made the springs noiseless * Setup on the same US Fender Stratocaster 40th Anniversary that was in last time. This time, the gauge is much lighter and the trem has much more float in it *PRS Mike Mushok Signature Baritone Setup + Fretwire polish (had a grindy feel to it before), now it's smooth and nice. Adjusted the nut slightly (the thick strings were snagging, and the thinner ones were too high). I also cleaned the electro parts. You can go crazy with low action on this, since the gauge is 14-68 (with minimal fret rattle with 1 mm to 1.2 at the last fret!) , but I settled for an almost dead straight neck with 1.25 to 1.5 mm at the last fret. The intonation was nowhere near where it should of been before, but now it's good.

* Fixed a cracked neck(did not refinish) and did a setup on an entry level Flame guitar(nut and saddle adjusted). It really plays decent now * Did some tinkering on a Kramer Baretta , but unfortunately due to some aftermarket modifications to this guitar I could not do the setup correctly, as the jackson floyd on it is different that the stock ofr floyd,and does not give enough saddle travel to intonate the E and B strings finely on the upper register. This will come back at some point for a total rewiring(has some issues and the solder spots are really cold), and a new trem. Would need the fretwire sides sanded and smoothed out also. The neck pickup ring is also broken and needs replacing, and there are several strange scratched on the fretboard and back of the neck. Cool guitar nonetheless! Also waxed the neck back and made the springs noiseless And the issues I mentioned which should be fixed in the future (the owner needed the guitar urgently and the next operations will take place in the future to fix them): And a comparison with the additional saddle travel which would of been needed to properly intonate some strings, if the original tremolo had still been on the guitar (the other trem is an OFR from another guitar):

Acelasi individ. Cititorul/Ctitorul. Ban Dragut sa iti tot faci cont pe RGC bagand anunturi, dupa ce spui ca e un c*cat si ca nu ai nevoie sa bagi anunturi pe el

Vad ca exista shield paint in cavitate. Vezi sa nu fie shield paint si IN cavitatea de jack, posibil sa se atinga hot cu ground (am mai vazut asta, de aia zic) Sau, bornele de la pots sa atinga shieldul.

* A Hagstrom Super Swede came in for some overall tweaking: - some nut adjustments - fretwire polishing - fretboard cleaning - rewiring (cleaned the old pots, good quality CTS ones, usually just need a thorough clean!) - removed some rust and lacquered some original screws black (those for which I did not have replacements) - installed a set of Lace Dissonant Aggressors (also had to solder some stock wires on them that came loose from their solder points -> no biggie, it happens if the surface on which the solder should adhere to is not correctly sanded) - usual setup: restring, intonation, neck - the bridge inserts were completely coming out of the body with almost no resistance, and the ground wire was almost broken in the hole, so I fixed those as well * Fixed an Ibanez Mostortion pedal: - it had some dead caps - improper soldering on some parts - the protection diode was fully destroyed - unfortunately the IC was also destroyed, so I ordered one(this particular pedal has an obsolete/discontinued IC), but for the time being, a 4558 will do

* The same Ibanez S model from 2 years ago, came in for a setup again, but with a different tuning and gauge; I also adjusted the nut, cleaned the fretwire a bit, cleaned the fretboard, waxed the neck, made the springs noiseless and did rust removal + coating with lacquer on the previously rusted screws for which I had no replacement(the inserts/the neck screws for example). I also added some new screws and a new neck pickup ring. Looks a lot better now

Sterling Musicman JP70 setup / nut adjusted / electro cleaning / fretwire smoothing / fretboard cleaning / waxed the neck / springs made noiseless. You can see how unfinished and scratchy the original fretwire was and a comparison with 4 ones that were initially done as an example.

Snow White Auto Wah de la mad professor e chiar amazing. Vorbeste cu userul @Mr Vintage sa iti spuna cum e(i-am facut o clona). Raspunde cumva la picking, in functie de atac si tot face amplitudinea aia de wah diferita. Desi, poate nu e pt tine. Mie mi-a placut enorm, nu afecteaza tonul, nu da noise, etc.

A Fender Jazzmaster Reissue came in for a setup / nut adjustment / fretboard cleaning / wiring check + pot cleaning

Fixed another JCM2000 DSL401 + rebiased and cleaned a scratchy pot

Ibanez JEM Jr. (Indonesia) setup + neck polished/waxed on the back. The neck previously looked very dry and unfinished, making it hard to play

La tremurile Kahler top mount spre exemplu, cumva suna chitara cu roller-urile din brass, cumva suna cu alea din teflon, si altfel suna cu alea de steel. Nu e mit, nu e psihologic, nu bla bla ''nu stiu daca conteaza nu lua''. Brass-ul e deosebit de cald fata de restul, si e cat se poate de clar efectul in sunet. Chiar e diferenta si sugerez fiecaruia sa testeze asta maxim. E valabil evident la toate tipurile de chitare cu ''X'' saddles, la care puteti gasi replacements.

Poze Cu Amplificatoarele Si Efectele Noastre
Razvan S. replied to a topic in Discutii despre echipament
Not enough tube heads LE: Ah am uitat sa precizez, desi folosesc in general Rocktron Replifex in Loop, am luat si niste pedale analogice, Maxon AD900 Japan varianta cu MN3005, Boss HF-2 Flanger Japan, Boss CE-3 Japan, Boss GE-10 EQ Japan, si un reverb pe arcuri de rack, Vermona VSR3 Germany.

Setup on a 40th Anniversary US Strat (11-52 Curt Mangan strings)

* HGE Contraptions clone of the BOSS CE-2 vintage Japan chorus. I am thrilled that I got the chance to do this. First ever chorus built, and full analog using MN3101 and MN3007 ICs. 119th pedal built! Posting some youtube samples as well, in comparison with my very own Boss CE-3 1982 Japan version * Ibanez Paul Stanley PSM10 Setup (+ nut filing, rehammered some fretwires that were sticking out, and cleaned the fretboard). Decent guitar for a Chinese model. v

*True bypass in a Vox V847A Wah

* Had a Godin come in to give the neck a satin finish + setup after. VERY nice feel, just like my Fender Deluxe US neck It was pretty worn and dirty before. The customer requested that I remove the previous finish from ALL the portions at the back of the neck, and sides , only the headstock front would be left unchanged. The stages can be seen below (initial rough sanding, final sanding, and final finish). I used Tru Oil. * A pedalboard came in for some diagnostics, but unfortunately, the wireless in the end had issues, I'm thinking the digital part, and I couldn't do anything; While at it, i noticed that the battery contacts were broken, thinking that was a part of the problem, and it was, but not fully. This system simply cuts out, from time to time, and then works perfectly again. Oh well , you win some you lose some * Had in an Ibanez JS100 that needed a setup. The owner bought an OFR, but the nut had a 15'' radius in the set (R10), which was totally not usable for this guitar's radius. Bought another OFR R2 nut, which fit the bill. *Had a Yamaha Hundred B212 Combo come in, which needed the speakers swapped (former ones were blown). Luckily the owner managed to find exact replacements on eBay. Electronically, everything was ok, but I did clean the pots and others. This is one very cool sounding amp, for a solid state. *A Jackson V RR came in for a setup. Cleaned the floyd (it had a ''lock'' poorly done on it), I did it floating, cleaned the neck, polished the fretwire a little, etc. Also had to shim the nut with a Schaller shim. * Changed the faulty switch in a Legend Strat * Rewired a Tenson Bass, and also put some autoadhesive 3M sponges to make the pickups respond better to height adjustments and to not wobble around and be more rigid (it had...a piece of cardboard installed before..LOL )

Pfff iti doresc multa bafta,fara nici un misto; eu pana la urma am luat asa ceva cu 1200 ron + costul unei pedale, in care a fost inclus la bass si un case US made G&G(pentru ca a tot scazut pretul ca nu se dadea) , si cand l-am vandut la randul meu, l-am dat pe mai nimic, tot pentru ca nu se dadea... Ia-o ca de up E chiar trist , ca sunt basuri foarte ok, eq-ul ce il are e super, si suna foarte divers la combinatiile de doze... Mie mi-a placut mult

Recomand sa verifice trussrod-ul , pentru ca am vazut cazuri in care, sa spunem ca setupul parea OK, trussrod-ul era destrans, sau nu sufficient de strans, si astfel gatul se ''juca'' intre marja aia ce o permitea trussrodul neajustat, facand fix ce spune el, se ducea ''totul'' mai sus sau mai jos, ca general tuning. Pe langa asta: 90% din oamenii ce au venit la mine, nu aveau corzile puse correct, sau exista problema de ''snag'' la nut slots; desi, daca foloseste gauge mic, imi e greu sa cred ca asta e problema, dar sa aiba in vedere oricum.

Eu vreau un Gibson facut de Fender (si unul old dar cu Kahler) N-as zice nu la astea:
