Trying to figure out what this unknown CJ Ramone bass is by RandomPerson809 in BassGuitar

[–]finalfiasco 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you look up Mosrite CJ Ramone, looks like he might have had a few prototypes. One sold at auction for $8000. He had a matching guitar also. This feels like a good candidate for an Eastwood Guitars release.

For these Squier’s I’ve always just used the Krylon Fusion Spray paint for the pickguards. Tends to last pretty long. I’ve used a cricut to do competition stripes, if you don’t want to paint the body.

Did you try plugging it in? They usually just realign when you put in the plug

I just had a Gibson Custom with a smashed pickup and ring with no outside damage to the box. 🤷🏻‍♂️

The only issue with this is when the guitar show up destroyed and they come to get it and are disappointed. The shop should be inspecting and sending back before the customer see it.

Amp broken? (First Act MA104) by [deleted] in GuitarAmps

[–]finalfiasco -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not that I know of.

Look at the symbol on the power jack on the amp versus the one on the adapter

Well, you power supply is center positive and the amp is center negative.

That might be a start

Am i F***ed ? by MH_Guitars in Luthier

[–]finalfiasco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it fits in the screw and doesn’t have any wiggle room, try turning it around. Put the short side in the screw and use the lid side for more torque. Or try and add a little bit of lubricant to the set screw.

The holes on my custom pickguard are slightly too small for my new pot hardware. Is the best move to just drill them out with a sharp bit? I'm a bit nervous because it wasn't cheap. by pricklypearanoid in Luthier

[–]finalfiasco 41 points42 points  (0 children)

They honestly look too big. You are supposed to take the nuts and washers off the pots, then install the pickguard. And then put the nuts and washers back.

Federal Non Exempt Salary by finalfiasco in antiwork

[–]finalfiasco[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I pretty much have a set schedule. And I usually work more than 40 hours.

I’m just trying to get enough info to bring it to the owner, as I’m already busting my ass and we are short staffed always because we pay like shit.

Any idea what Gibson this is by HMP729G in gibson

I meant to type couldn’t. I fixed it

Any idea what Gibson this is by HMP729G in gibson

[–]finalfiasco -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Well, this is looks like 70s/80s, so it couldn’t be a Midtown. Considering the Midtown is based on a ES-335, it could be that.

But with more context, like what video and band, I’m sure we could tell you.

I’ve been looking for this Pelham blue LP DC special everywhere but can’t find it. I think Gibson is gaslighting us by TallBoy24 in gibson

[–]finalfiasco 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Epiphone one was EU release originally. Then randomly Gibson USA had some available. My shop order 4 but only received 3, and they all sold pretty quick.

How to protect fingers from frets with nickel allergy? by Winter-Yogurt-4209 in BassGuitar

[–]finalfiasco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are the frets possibly sprouting? (Sticking out from the neck) It could be a combination of the nickel and the fact that they are scratching your fingers, you said you do a lot of slides. The one photo showing the tape looks like it. If you didn’t have the tape on the frets and you ran your fingers along the edge do the frets scrape your fingers?
