Guitar pickups that promise everything
I just read this quote about a pick up called the Nazgûl. I love the name. I need to install one of these in my +2 Axe! “The Nazgûl was developed for extreme metal players who required a massive and aggressive tone that still maintained plenty of articulation. The Pegasus was developed for prog and…

Weber 6M36 kit
This is a 36 watt Marshall style amp kit. This seemed to be the best deal for a kit complete with cabinet and speaker. Here’s some pictures of what came in the kit. You’ll notice the speaker and turret board are missing. The speaker was listed as back ordered in the invoice. Not sure about…

True Bypass with an LED!
I bought this switch from Smallbear about ten years ago, probably around 2000. It cost $13! Before that time this was a high tech item that was only available in Fulltone products from what I understand. Legend has it that he had them designed and specially manufactured for his boxes. I guess wiring a true…

Mini Maker Faire in Oakland CA
Looks like there’s a mini Maker Faire in the east bay. The big Maker Faire in San Mateo this year, though it had a lot going on was so crowded that I couldn’t really enjoy it. This might be better at a smaller scale. http://ebmakerfaire.wordpress.com/

Pignose
The DIY swap meet was great. I saw this Pignose amp at one of the tables. Normally this wouldn’t really interest me. But, my wife had put this amp on her Amazon wish list. They wanted $40, I didn’t have the cash on hand. Luckily I sold a few things so I got the Pignose…
