I have quite a few all day sessions on it now. Has such an addicting sound going into my vox with just a tad of gain. Im getting a cool Keith Richards type tone, bit of Lennon and Dave Davies sounds just from them wonderful pickups. Have you kept stock machine heads? I could dig a higher ratio

Right on, I remember you talking about it. Looks like it has a 3.5 input for stuff like backing tracks which is of interest, most BT audio in or out stuff has a latency and seeing ability to hardwire in and/or out is of much interest. Think I'll see if I can find one local to try out.

It is not scheduled to be delivered until tomorrow but that hasn't stopped me from running to the window every time I hear a truck drive by

I have gotten better with the arthritis, since my filleting I totally cut out any white sugar cane or corn syrup I get less inflamed so pain is almost 0, only small amounts of honey or real maple in the bread we bake. What was that amp u were using? Spark, flame, something..? lol

Big Hobby Dude @bighobbydude.bsky.social · 03/07/2024

Yes! a bit higher than my tele or strat pu's. I have a couple tube amps & tube/SS modeling amp - I am excited to sit down & check out all the combos. I see too that everything is nickel instead of cheap chroming. Due to arthritis I usually run 8-38's so might have to change nut or rework.

I remember years back guys complained about the PU's but I think they were different, these are Alinco 5 & have that signature p90 sound/dynamics where that vol pot really works from chime to growl, at least what I've come know. Spec says CTS pots so I plan just to Intonate, plug in & go OOB player!

@roybent.bsky.social - I finally pulled the trigger - should be here in a day or 2 (I wanted this color), hoping it is same as ones I tried out. Had my heart set on the BB King Lucille model with the Varitone and buckers but the A5 P-90's just sing like nothing l have, pretty stoked here!

D-Day duo: Hawker Typhoon next to a British Sherman Firefly tank, both 1/72 scale. The Typhoon is a BIG aircraft. #DDay80GB

Typhoon aircraft posed next to a Sherman tank on a cutting mat. The aircraft is considerably bigger than the tank.

Big Hobby Dude @bighobbydude.bsky.social · 08/04/2024

#DDAY80GB Bit more done on The M4 Sherman. Only handful of parts left to add and deal with, few seams that need to not be seen then time to start prepping those pesky figures. The last step is the stowage and I always enjoy that part.

I completely forgot I had one above me on a bookshelf behind other stuff lol. Version with launcher - Was doing buddy build with pal and he gave up on his - Appears I didn't finish the fine detail like the dash gauges, pin washes etc.
