Nice job! What guitar is that? Looks like a jazz box.

Another tip, especially for getting the frets super smooth is to use those four sided foam nail filing/polishing things, they get rid of any lingering filing marks.

Resistors are futile

Looks great. Love me a WRHB too.

My 65 MM was a B width as I recall.

A 100 watt attenuator can’t really take a 100 watt amp down to home volumes, they are meant to cut some of the volume, not all of it. I use a 50 watt one on an 18 watt and a 5 watt amp, the 18 watt is still pretty loud if you want it to still sound good, but the 5 watt keeps its tone at home volumes.

I had an HT5 for a few months and it was OK. But in that kind of price range I’d go for the Fender or Vox unless the two channels and tons of gain were a necessity. I find the fewer controls the better in general, otherwise I spend too much time twiddling.

Marshalls are batshit expensive in the states, nowhere near the value we get here. Rhys, Thom’s Fender recommendations are sound, especially if you use pedals. I’ve got a Morgan PR5 which is super loud for the size, so the slightly higher wattage PR12 would be a good shout, especially if you like th...

The PRS and a Weber attenuator. 50w is too big for most gigs, 20w is fine to gig with if you don’t play super clean, but way way too loud for home use unless you have a big detached house. I’ve run my 18 watt 2x10 Marshall unattenuated a couple of times at home and it gets to 108/110db. Even a 5w am...

One of mine does that even indoors in the winter.

Maintain deez nuts.

I didn’t have to make any adjustment to the nuts on my guitars when I switched from 11s to 9s, but all bar one needed some truss rod adjustment and all needed to be properly set up.

This makes more sense now

ALERT, ALERT Screenshot 2022-12-14 at 09.30.14.png There's an EXTENSION speaker and an EXTERNAL speaker output there; it says only the EXTERNAL will mute the internal speaker; the EXTENSION will factor your internal speaker in, so we'd need to check the manual online to determine if this is paralle...

So perhaps was getting some grit from the speaker i had in? Either way will be able to play it loud tomorrow night at practice....

I’m mostly joking, but not about the skim reading. TBF I’m probably the other way when posting, a little too concise.

Paul’s pretty much summarised it perfectly.

In case it wasn't clear, no, I wasn't being completely serious about the Greenbacks. My limited and historic experience with them has given me a kneejerk reaction to them whenever they're brought up, and I used that as a jokey way to recommend the only speaker I've ever seriously loved, the Celesti...

Re. Speakers - I used these guy’s 10” speaker shootout when picking speakers for mine, maybe helpful in highlighting the differences.

I’ve got an alnico gold in my Vox style amp - probably more bottom end than the archetypal Vox sound though. Alnico blues sound great in an ac30 too.

Honest wear can be really beautiful.

Nice. At least once turn it all the way up, it’s a glorious sound. Super loud though.
