Oh hai.
Nice, the Bugera is a great option by all accounts.

So devastated to hear this news.
I’m lucky to have so many good memories with Aram. Truly one of the most thoughtful, kind and excellent humans I’ve ever met.
Sending you lots of love Jenne and Eladio.

Also curious about what Mrs EB's book is about...

Did anyone jump on the Notaklön band wagon? Or indeed the NotNotaklön...

I'm enjoying Bias FX2 at the moment. It's a standalone app and DAW plug in.
They have Black Friday sales on at the moment so could be a good time to buy.

She doesn't, yet. It was her Mum's.
She's got 3, and I bought her 2 of them. Cunning plan...

The other half’s stable (+ a parlour)
Would love to be able to chicken pick a banjo.

That Supro amp in the background is pretty sweet too.

Bike polo memories still happening in Melbourne.

Thanks mate.
I watched an hour long video from That Pedal Show.
I will never get that hour back.
Probs going to stick with decked for now.

I think that since I now just hand my bike over to be sorted these days, I might just support the lgs.
It does seem pretty straightforward but strong chance I'll get myself in a twist and make it worse.

Woah, that's insane.

Do you have any 'making of' pics?
Stunning.

Update on the angled wiggle stick for anyone interested:
Apparently the hole is drilled at an angle so the trem arm is straight up when it's not decked. It's supposed to be floating. ( As rodan said.)
You live, you learn.

Thanks mate.
I'm going to get it a full service this week I reckon.

Just tossing up whether I do it myself or get the lgs to do it.
If I can build a bike...

What does everyone else do?

Ah yeah, you're right. The Aerodyne Special has the 12" radius. I think these came out after the Aerodyne II.

Oh nice. Might look in to one of those for the other half when she's ready to upgrade from the Squire Classic Vibe Jazz.

It's a new trem arm, might just be the wrong pitch / size, even though it went in o.k.
Love an excuse to head back to Found Sound. Another incredible guitar shop round the corner.

Ah you have one? Awesome. What colour?

Question: does your trem arm sit at this angle?

UPDATE:
Apparently they're drilled at an angle so it's straight when it's not decked. This is correct.

Thanks all, nice to hear the appreciation.
There was a lot of hesitation over getting a more 'classic' one, and I still have a bit of 'what if'.
But when they speak to you, what can you do.

9.5 radius, so spot on (IMO).

All specs here.
100% of what I was looking for.

Now, to work out if I want a trem arm or not. Didn't come with one so going to see if there's a block installed.

Trying again..

Well sure.
There are so many excellent guitars shops in Melbourne, I'm lucky.
My local had a huge delivery of strats, all in a row for me to try. Skived off work and sat in the shop for an hour or so.

Didn't mind the MIA Standards which is what I was looking at, but it still felt a little chunky compared to the MIJ range.
I ended up getting 2016 Aerodyne. I'd never heard of them. Research tells me they're pretty sweet. High end MIJ > low end MIA.

All the specs aligned with everything I was looking for and more. It's the perfect shape for smaller bodies and it really fit me like a glove. So much easier to play than the PRS and the build quality feels great. Slim C neck is great.

The tone after a little dialing in [chef's kiss] I've turned off my EQ at this point.
About to run it through the pedals. Going to be a great night.

It's not letting me upload images, but it's this one (with a sweet discount) .

Got it. Given that attenuators soak by turning to heat.
Appreciate all the info mate, thank you.

This project might be on hold for a bit as I had a very interesting time in a guitar shop Y'day. Could be NGD...

Haha, this is most excellent. Thank you for drawing this up.
I've done the same with how it is presently.
So adding an attenuator would mean:
Buying an additional jack to jack to run from the attenuator to the speaker box mod.
Also possibly a longer cable from the existing speaker to reach the attenuator if having it external.
The existing cables from transformer to speak mod obviously stay.
Then to ensure the headphone have enough power, buy a Behringer P2 and an XLR cable.

This makes sense, thank you!
What a faff.

Nah, just the box and an transformer upgrade. I guess it served their purpose.
I'd be happy to have the attenuator outside, but I have no clue where to add it with this mod. I'm thinking it's not possible.

Thanks mate.
Good food for thought.

I've just opened it up and all sorts is going on in there.
Looks like there's a multitap transformer upgrade to an additional external speaker output with Ohm options.
There's also some velcro next to it which must have secured something else at some point.
I have nfi where to put an attenuator in this.
Having an additional headphone box would make this a hot mess.
I'm thinking I might just leave it all alone.

Spark mini is good and the app is fun.

Yeah, trying to keep the peace.
The torpedo seems to be the go to, but I don't need s cab sim or to spend that much $$.

Thanks mattioats. That PM1 is a nice headphone solution. Could I put this in a combo amp?

Or if I want to attenuate, I guess I need one with dedicated headphone socket.

I didn't realise I'd need to master electronics when I picked up the guitar again.
Yesterday I learned about centre negative power adapters.

Now I need to learn if I can plug headphones into a line out socket, or a mic socket.
I'm looking to put a Bugera PS1 in between my head and speaker in my Blues Junior IV and would like the option to plug in headphones.
I'm reading different things. This is a mind field.
Anyone know?
TIA.

Haha.
It's like you know me well...

Don't recon I'll buy w/o playing, so am limited to Melburn options.

Might go and have a play with this later
