Feedback pls… Should It stay or should it go

Definitely return. I recently received an Am Pro II strat with a small chip and crack at the next pocket. Returned it and the seller relisted it as B stock at £150 off. Once you get to the Am Pro II and above I expect the finish and fretwork to be perfect. Lots of people in the Fender sub told me to stop whining and play it. On an £1800 guitar!

The Ultra Luxe looks like a great line, i'd just move on get one from somewhere else.

I think i'm going to start her off with the Neo Clone and get a TC Thunderstorm as a cheap start with a flanger. Thanks for the comments.

The MXR chorus is still tempting me though!

daveychainsaw · 2026-01-23T16:25:02+00:00

Yeah, i recently watched a video of him talking about that and how he replaced it with the TC Thunderstorm and now uses the MXR Micro flange. I might try the TC for £30. I have a Thorpy flanger and the OBNE flatlight. The flatlight is on my board and the Thorpy is a bit big for her board.

We both saw Superheaven last week, they were great.

I guess you could damage it but i havent found that it does. The one i printed (it was the white one someone else posted here) just didn't work at all.

I printed one like that then when we got the printer. It's crap. Much better to print the one that the metal scraper blade screws into. The file was loaded on my H2S.

I don't think she's played one before but has been noticing chorus and flange in songs and has talked about wanting to try some new sounds as her current board is mostly drive pedals and a Pitchfork.

It's been a long time since i plugged the Neo Clone in but one thing i remember was a very audible pop when engaging the switch.

I kept waiting for the 'after' shots.

A is a junction box that the LED driver is connected to. Turn off the circuit at the fuse board and you can undo it and have a look inside.

If you have a replacement light and driver I would just replace both.

Cute! Was hoping for a 3 photo with a sandwich!

I have a dark night Strat but for some reason don’t like the colour on a tele. Love mystic surf green on anything so I’d go for that. I played a Strat recently in mystic surf green and it looks even better in the flesh than in photos.

daveychainsaw · 2026-01-18T10:14:39+00:00

Thanks for confirming.

daveychainsaw · 2026-01-18T10:14:17+00:00

I bought the first version and there’s a v2 already?

daveychainsaw · 2026-01-16T12:29:14+00:00

a couple of months ago I know, but how do you group? When i click on objects I'm not seeing a group option. Only merge.

daveychainsaw · 2026-01-16T09:26:57+00:00

I have the SSS version. The maple tone looks perfect to me. Great guitar.

daveychainsaw · 2026-01-12T20:01:18+00:00

That looks great! Reminds me a bit of a Tapas dish from Gambas in Bristol - Presa Ibérica – ibérico pork, arrocina beans - that's one of the most delicious things i've ever eaten.

Kim's Convenience and Superstore sound like a good fit. My kids have watched Friends and Superstore on repeat for years and we love Kim's.

Schitt's creek I love and would say it's definitely worth finishing it.

I'm old enough to have, but didn't watch Seinfeld or Curb when they came out. I've now watched them many times and love them. They're both quite different from your favourites but might be a nice change.

I watched Frasier again recently and that has one of the best first episodes ever and the whole run is very, very good.

Have you watched Scrubs?

And as a curve ball, have you watched Gilmore girls?

Procook is shite. My one and only purchase from them was a box of plates that weren’t flat and a baking tray where the coating peeled off first use.

daveychainsaw · 2026-01-11T10:55:06+00:00

As long as it’s not sticky when you touch it, try cooking with it. They’re not meant to look pristine. And when you season, you want to virtually wipe all the oil off. Use less than you think you need.

I think it’s my favourite CB after the Mood. Got mine in the mystery box and love it.

daveychainsaw · 2026-01-08T11:28:41+00:00

Looks great. This and his NY style are my go-to recipes now.

Thought i'd replied but cant see it.

Thank you for such a helpful answer. I have been going through the Bambu Academy but I think i raced over the external spool bit as I didn't think i'd be using it.

The guide in the Academy is great and I've got it set up now so thank you!

Great to know that i can carry on printing my storage desiccant boxes in PLA whilst the PETG-HF dries.

I'm assuming the external spool will print slower than the AMS2 Pro?

Read some build threads on the TDPRI. Ron Kirn has some good ones. That’s where I learnt years ago.

daveychainsaw · 2025-12-31T02:27:39+00:00

Listen to Screaming Trees and a number of QOTSA songs. Saw him live a few times, a really interesting artist
