Re: Incoming NPD and advice needed

:lol: The PSU arrived for the DMM so I'm very pleased to report that it all works fine. Lovely. The 3 pedals together are a good fit. Tho the noise floor on the RAT is just as advertised. Just the Whammy/Wah to look into now. If it's working I'll need to decide if its worth the bother of shipping th...

Re: Broken-caster $549

Or make a lower offer, taking into account the cost of a replacement neck... At least that way you're minimising the risk.

Re: 62ri Telecaster

Def not a U or a thin C, More of a chonky C.

I got it all set up today. The previous owner had the neck tightened and totally flat so a touch of relief and it was sorted!!

It’s all gloss. It’s Japanese so it has gloss EVERYWHERE. Well, apart from the fretboard 😂

62ri Telecaster

After YEARS of wanting one of these I finally picked one up. I missed out on the blowout price when they were discontinued and couldn’t bring myself to buy one at the price they were when reintroduced as it was literally you’ve the price. This week one popped up for sale and I’m happy to say that th...

Re: Broken-caster $549

It’s difficult to really work out what the issue is with the pics and description given, tho I reckon that injecting glue in the sides of the fretboard if there’s cracks there and into those cracks on the Fretboard and clamp the shit out of it. I get the feeling that he’s maybe not slackened the tru...

Re: Incoming NPD and advice needed

It’s proper crazy. It’s extra weird that it happened just when I was about to try to rebuild my board on the cheap. This will put me in great stead for that. Just need a couple more dirt pedals needed really.

Rat Pot code dates it to ‘88. 4th and 5th number apparently. It sounds MONSTROUS.

Re: Incoming NPD and advice needed

All big box DMMs are great - I miss mine a lot Mike, do you happen to remember what polarity it was? I’m getting conflicting info online abs don’t want to fry it. EDIT it’s 24vdc, 100mA, center positive. Abs the Holy grail needs a: US9DC-500. 9vdc, 500mA, 3.5mm plug with positive tip (same as the R...

Re: NGD Eastman T386

Awesome looking guitar. I've read a lot of good reviews of Eastmans. At the same time they are quite pricey for guitars that are made in China. An Eastman Junior costs as much as a Gibson. I'm not sure whether the price is justified To be honest I own more Gibson than Eastman. I honestly think the ...

Re: Incoming NPD and advice needed

I picked these up tonight. The RAT appears to be made out of pig iron abs weighs a ton. I ordered a power supply that’s coming tomorrow but the RAT and reverb use those weird 3.5mm headphone Jack type connectors so I dunno if I’m going to be able to power them or if it’ll have enough juice for the m...

Re: Incoming NPD and advice needed

EDIT just saw they go for £500-£800 these days WTF is going on The real money is in the lack of fidelity lo-fi noizze. The awkward voltage and subsequent need for an extra power supply on your pedal board obviously adds increases the value Prices on all sorts of stuff is crazy just now. Japanese gu...

NGD Eastman T386

I picked this up in a trade a few days ago. I already have a T486 with SD Phatcats in it and have been on the look out for a humbucker version. Something I can take out with me in place of my 335 and not worry about bashing it about a bit. But if the same quality. The 486 has spec’d up pickups/wirin...

Really? Jesus. I know about pedal types but not really which versions are rare/valuable. U always knew that version of the Memory Man is meant to be the best one. I didn’t realise it’s crazy spendy.

Re: Incoming NPD and advice needed

Oh baby - how old's the Rat? Could be tempted if you're flipping... From what I’ve managed to glean from JHS Pedals history of the RAT video it seems to be an 87/88. Luckily this version has a distinctive decal. Classed as the RAT 2. Same pedal with an LED in it. So the actualThe version before the...
