After practice yesterday, my fender twin reverb wouldn't turn off. The standby switch works fine, but the on off switch does nothing. The only thing I can think of is that the switch is somehow shorted? I have never experienced this kind of amp failure. Any thoughts?

I'm not sure how I feel about them. I have only owned 2 guitars that had them, and both guitars were junk.

Thanks guys! I was kind of going for a melody maker / rick mix. I'm pretty happy with it, the string spacing is kind of narrow at the nut, but I can adjust that a little bit when I make a real nut for it, but then again I'm getting kind of used to it.

Still needs a little work, bridge needs to be modified a little to get the action lower, but I got to play it today! The weird mark on the pick guard is the protective plastic stuff coming off of it.

The only plexi guitars I have played have been super cheap and played like crap. Always wanted an ampeg.

Glad that it still around, you should definitely post any repairs you do on it. I almost bought a vintage villager from goodwill's website but I forgot to bid on it, it sold for like $170.

i like the wet nurse stufff. its like what the black keys are trying to be, but just cant do it right. and i like the keyboardist alot. the footage from the second video is fucking CLASSIC! total butt rock status. is it copywritten material tho? the song is rather cool too, i like the trashy low-fi...

What happened to that thing Robog? I remember that project, it was super rad. Made me want to build one, I still want to build a 12 string electric real bad. Maybe this summer. . .

Thanks! I thought the original one looked a little too much like it came from a a PRS which is not for me.

added side markers, finalized the neck shape.

The gold tune o matic is temporary (hopefully), also I will have a different pickup in it.

I'll do that when it's closer to being done!

Pick guard finished, tail piece posts drilled

That is an excellent design, definitely going to do some research on these.

not to be a wet blanket, but experience tells me a tour schedule of a show every night for two weeks is REALLY ambitious. booking it is one thing (and hard enough), playing it is another. unless you're an all acoustic, low-volume, sit-down outfit, consider adding a day off to travel/rest in between...

Looks pretty awesome, cant say I have ever seen a serviceman bass xi before

Alright, thanks for the help. I figured it might be difficult for those dates, I'll just have to keep sending emails.

Updated, Show in Eugene.

Is there anybody in California that could help us out?

Or Montana?

Thanks!

I used a very sharp chisel to cut a v shaped groove, then shaped it to look nice with sandpaper.

update:

Control cavity routed, pickup cavity routed, bridge post holes drilled, frets installed and leveled.

Only good surf punks song is "My Beach"

that skateboard guitar does rule though
