Hey Spuds.. thanks mate.. Na, the song just came about like this,.. I woke up two days ago a bit angry for no particular reason.. I thought I would put it to music.. :) Thanks for the time and ear mate~!

Well.. not you.. I mean the song.. that's it's title.. Tried to come up with something a bit vintage sounding yesterday.. Thought I would fish for thoughts this morning.. You Suck http://soundclick.com/share.cfm?id=10338363

Hey gang.. Outside of occasional maintaining of my Soundclick stuff I just don't do much internet music anymore, but I did want to drop in and wish everyone a big Seasonal Greeting and of course as I have every year here for several years now, I would like to go out of this year on a musical...

Deea and Blaze.. Thanks for the ears and thoughts.. Quite glad that at least in essence you kind of 'got it' as I know it has to be dug into a bit to even make a heads or tails of it.. , and that isn't always easy or time friendly. Very much appreciated..

Hey Gang.. long time no see.. been down for a few months.. had my non deaf ear infected and down with some real ick for a long long time.. absolutely next to being totally deaf.. BUT I am mostly recovered and back at it. This is my getting back on the musical horse work, I just finished it a...

Ok.. need to setup the action and neck a bit still and route the battery. Here is the basic sound idea of what the Modded frankenstrat with the sustainiac device on can start to do. There are no displays of any musicianship here, just making some sounds, trying to get a feel for the thing...

Thanks, got her running now.. changed a few things at once so I can't say exactly, but it looks like after all is said and done, it was a guitar cord that was not exactly shorted, but there was slight capacitance between the positive and shield.. seemingly it was what was shutting it down...

Looks like a heck of a project.. Any time lines in mind? Ever do one like it?

Hiya.. I don't call it 'sustain' myself, even though 'they' do. I rather think of it as strings in motion with the potential to endlessly resonate' *L*. What happens is that the neck pup doubles up as a an electro magnetic driver. The signal from the bridge pickup is sent to the driver (neck...

Finished ..... enough OK.. I tooled around and got it working 'enough'... I still have to play with it.. but I am going to call this one a wrap.. it just has times it works better than others.. but at times it is indeed working.. *L* Here is a gander a the final project.. although I didn't...

Ok.. so now I am laughing/crying So I try it out... everything works great, UNTIL you turn it all the way up (just like last time). Did it even get tested on full volume on the bench at the shop I have to wonder.. --- Total progress.. something is #$'ed up still.. Alan hoover is going to...

Ha.. 1:50 Wednesday the 10th of March knock knock.. US postal Service (still the best gig around. Try and get anyone else to deliver something across town for less than 50 cents, or take a package of important stuff to you, and truck it across the continent and insure it's monetary value...

Hiya Marnold.. I just had to get a multimeter myself.. although I own two I also have older kids and couldn't find one.. I went to Walmart and picked up a lil analog one for 7 bucks.. it does everything I need it to. ...it works fine.. For a casual, keep at the table, simple project thing...

Hiya Kazz.. You really think Paulina's father will mind? After all, I am an experienced adult and old enough to be her grandfather.. *:what I'm mostly concerned about it having desirable resonant properties .. it sure seems to me if thee is a fighting chance of using it, and I wouldn't lose...

Just got word back from Alan Hoover. Indeed the included tone pot was bad, yet so was my volume pot. I started with a new 'military' grade pot, and in the middle of trying 'everything' I could think of I slapped on a cheap-o Taiwanese volume pot, and it turns out the pot I replaced the new one...

Complete failure.. I am not certain I failed legitimately (and I do call this one a fail.. this round)... considering what is happening (pups work fine, unless you turn them off, at which point sustainer works with intermittent harmonics, I've come to the conclusion the likely culprit is the...

Taken everything apart, re-soldered most all the wires from scratch. Am just doing the final resistance check on all the grounds. then I will re-install her everything, put the neck back on, fire her up.. The very next post I put in this thread will either be a EUREKA moment, or a 'toss the...

I've done all kinds of goofy stuff I probably shouldn't of.. Still doing goofy stuff.. it's only equipment.. you screw with it.. Leo or Less would of NEVER created what they did if they stopped every time they screwed something up. --- I think my most spendy (yet deliberate, it wasn't a...

Last night.. Finished by actually getting some sustain from the driver (wheeee) however ONLY when the volume is DOWN. Been hitching with Alan Hoover who invented the thing.. he has been supportive, answers every question right away, suggests checkpoint.. yet I know he has to be getting this...

A whole new ballgame.. The wiring is spec.. perfect if I do say so myself.. Only a few things it can possibly be.. 1. Bad pull pot's (did some of the internal plastic pieces melt while soldering? Been known to happen, even when not soldering the pull base. 2. Blown resistor (I'll check...
