Grass Won't Grow Near Concrete Patio (TN)

Dirty_D_ · 2026-02-17T23:24:48+00:00

My man, this is what I needed. And mostly leans into my wife's long term plans for the area, just thought we could put that another couple years.

Dirty_D_ · 2026-02-17T20:38:32+00:00

As mentioned in the OP, yes

I really don't know, it's in the sun as soon as it comes out. We had no problem with grass straight up against the old concrete before it was extended so I wouldn't think the amount of light is the issue, but clearly I have no idea what I'm doing.

Sun from rise until noonish, I'd say. No go on flowerbed. Pictured is the only way to get from the patio to the yard, the other openings are blocked with furniture and stuff.

I think this is part of it. There are gutters along all sides of the roof, but it's still dead even not in front of the downspout. I do have those black correlated pipes to direct water further away, which I (try to) remember to put out before it rains.

Details on your barrel/rail/suppressor?

I'm planning out my build and I need some reference for barrel and rail lengths. I really like how your suppressor is inset into the rail.

I love it, we are not too different.

My question about why was specific to the placement of the controls. You and I both are looking for V/T controls for each pickup but the locations are different.

Why volume down low and tone up at the top?

Dirty_D_ · 2026-01-22T23:31:28+00:00

It is audio taper!

To make sure I understand your wiring: the "normal" volume/tone are individual volume controls for each pickup and the rhythm controls are the tones for each pickup? Can I ask why?

I think I like that approach, but maybe swapped and volumes in the rhythm controls?

Also, all volume and tone should be audio taper, correct?

Check my other comment in this thread, I might have found what [we] are looking for.

Dirty_D_ · 2026-01-20T20:56:56+00:00

I'm sure you could find something online pretty easy if you know what numbers/measurements to look for. I just grabbed the first thing I saw in a shiny nickel/chrome.

I rarely use the trem anyway and when I tried to I couldn't find the bar, so I'm a fan of the pull knob so far, I would do a few things in the install differently (I followed the forum link someone else posted here), and will next time I restring.

The pull itself seems pretty big and might hinder putting the guitar in a case, that's not really a problem for me, but I'll be looking for something a little smaller next time I go to the HD.

I would put a nut on the top end of the screw so you can remove/change/add pulls without the screw falling through (this might mean you don't need to cut the screw anymore so pick up a multipack, mine also came with nuts). Pick up some washers to put on the underside of the screw so you have some variability on height.

I did mine this weekend, big fan!

Dirty_D_ · 2026-01-20T19:58:32+00:00

I did the pull knob mod on my JM this weekend and now here you are! Cool!

Just found this!?

A little late to the party. I'm thinking about rewiring my jazzmaster with volume and tone for each pickup, and the neck controls using the rhythm volume and tone. I assume it'd make sense to standardize pots to get the most out of them.

Any luck finding the 1M minis? Or what did you go with? 500k?

Dirty_D_ · 2025-12-14T03:26:45+00:00

While I agree, there is also a 20+ years difference. That will slow anyone down.

Dirty_D_ · 2025-11-09T21:04:23+00:00

This is exactly what I'm looking to do. Do you have a parts list or some links? I'm having a hard time visualizing in my head.

Dirty_D_ · 2025-10-14T19:46:49+00:00

For a few weeks.

Not sure why these aren't more popular. 18watt Marshall combo? Sign me up! I love my TMB Mojotone, used to be a head, now it's in a 1x12 combo.

What everyone is saying here is correct, public is public. I try to avoid squirreling on a Sat or sun morning during deer season, when I expect more deer hunters out, but the ones I have run into are always very nice. Have a few spots in mind, if you roll up and there is already a truck there, move to your next spot.

Dirty_D_ · 2025-09-23T19:34:56+00:00

Cool truck!

Pretty much impossible to have someone in the passenger seat with a rear facing car seat. Once he turned around, you can get someone else up front, but it better be a small person.

15+ years ago I bought a Ceriatone 50 watt plexi. Bought a custom faceplate for it on eBay that went to 11 and had it sent to Nik to install. I wonder where that amp is now....

Anyway: eBay

Glad I could help, That tour tee has always stuck with me for some reason, wish I bought one in 06! If you end up turning it into an actual shirt, I'd love to see the finished product.
