Sorry these are so late. I got the guitar on Saturday night and she was in rough shape so I have been spending the little free time I have fixing her up. This guitar was played hard and put away wet plus the previous owner had done a lot of duct tape mods that rookies do with Jazzmasters:
- put blue masking tape around the bridge posts to prevent the bridge from rocking
- tape under the bridge saddles to freeze them
- had 13s on this guitar without adjusting the neck. You could have driven a Mac truck between the bottom string and 12th fret.
- gunk on the guitar
- weird stains on the pickguard and pickup covers (cleaned them with a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser. Great invention).
I basically took the guitar apart, cleaned it, removed all tape, took the neck off to adjust the truss rod, and strung her up with 11s. Now she plays like a well oiled machine.

Jazzmaster

I've been tracking a 2003 CIJ Jazzmaster on CraigsList (googled the serial no. to get the year). The price is right even if it is stock. I've wanted a CIJ Jaguar since I cannot afford a USA one, but the Jazzmaster is a close second. The longer scale does not intimidate me too much since one of my guitar heros Lee Ranaldo plays them and he cannot be much taller than me; ~67 inches.
Any fans of the Jazzmaster? Pros or Cons you'd like to share. Maybe for xmas I can do some upgrades: Mastery Bridge, SD Antiquity pickups, etc. -

Saturday I was in Schroeder Audio to pick up my Sunrise Orange SG after having some fretwork done. While in there I noticed a bunch of amps in a corner. Turns out it was Wilco's U.S. touring amps and right there on the counter was Nels Cline's red DB-7 head. Amazing. Not unlike when I saw the Stanley Cup at the Hockey Hall of Fame. I stood next to it trying to absorb any mojo I could. Tweedy's pimped out white Vox head was in the pile too, but it was buried by some Fender combos.

28 Nov 2012 - 17:27I haven't heard of the germ. Is it based on an old circuit or something?
The one that I wrote the guitar for is "walk over me". Other than that they were songs that they already wrote before I joined the band that I just "contributed" to lol
We're gonna have some more well written and recorded stuff coming out soon though

27 Nov 2012 - 17:23Also, we got a couple more amateur recordings up at soundcloud.com/androsstheband
Check it out. They're not great but we've got some MUCH better stuff coming in a few months. Expect more happy sounds, leads from me, and groovy hooks coming soon :)

16 Oct 2012 - 16:18It's a shame. They'd probably sell more if they just kept them how they were. I'm not really a distortion guy but this RAT was magical.
I wonder if your friend built the one I just repaired? There were two names on the inside. Dave and Je...

12 Oct 2012 - 15:16I love the woolly fuzz tones you can get out of it. It just explodes out of my amp. It seems like all the coolest gear comes from Kalamazoo

12 Oct 2012 - 11:55I'm really glad you're digging the Small Stone. You're not getting any clipping with it are you? Also do you want me to order you that knob? I forgot about it

11 Oct 2012 - 16:56I've been meaning to talk to show you this.. My drummer just got an awesome kit custom built by C&C drums.

I forget the dimensions but it's like the same dimensions as Ringo's Ludwigs. 7 ply maple shells. It sounds so awesome

30 Jul 2012 - 10:18Thanks man I got a little tired of the same old triangular knob layout all the time.
I'm on kindof an OD kick right now. I think next I'll try the Klon :O))

03 Jul 2012 - 09:18Love your pedal setup. Was the sparklef'er a custom build? I rock an F-word OD and love it. Very gravelly (is that a word?). Sometimes I run it into my OD808 for walls of sonic assault. ...
