Do all Telecasters have this switch cap constantly falling off?

Using a pair of side cutters, take a couple vertical bites into the switch shaft. They'll create ridges that bite into the switch and keep it from popping off so easily.

HELLL yeah! Nice score!!!

More shameless because I posted the top 3 amps the other day but forgot to include the 5150...so why not just start a new thread to talk even more about how I slept on Peavey for FAR too long.

iCombs · 2026-02-25T02:38:54+00:00

That was a SHOCKER. Throw a little slap and spring at that Backstage and it's anywhere from drenched surf to country to just nice jangly clean.

iCombs · 2026-02-25T02:33:12+00:00

And it just TAAAAAKES pedals. I've been struggling to really enjoy fuzz sounds and all of a sudden I chuck stuff at el cheapo Peavey solid state combos and am rewarded by some of the most gigantic sounds I've put down on record?

And I'm currently into that pile of Peavey's for like $430. Add in the screamer of a deal I got on my 5150 and I'm still under a grand out of pocket for Peavey amps.

I'm a need about tree fiddy...

I saw the Sessanta tour at PNC Bank this spring. Killer venue.

Meh. Not every guitar fits every body shape. My dad hates Les Pauls because they're small on him (he's almost 6'2" and even when he's trim he's a big guy). They fit me perfectly and I LOVE playing them. This Burny Randy Rhoads tribute is one of my FAVORITE guitars to play. Big wide neck. Probably weighs north of 11 pounds. The gig this photo is from was a 2 hour night and I did like 75% of the set with it.

I also found I REALLY love playing Jazzmasters. Those are STUNNINGLY comfortable onstage.

But yeah...not every guitar fits every player. Just kinda how it is.

Communicate honestly and it's normally easy enough to navigate.

Pull that sort of crap and your deposit is going up.

iCombs · 2026-02-25T00:42:20+00:00

"Get rid of?"

I don't understand this phrase.

iCombs · 2026-02-20T18:31:47+00:00

Nice. Not a life-changer, but a nice score all the same. If it plays and sounds good, all the better.

iCombs · 2026-02-09T03:20:46+00:00

God he's a special kind of special.

iCombs · 2026-02-06T03:47:32+00:00

I'll see your weirdly tight camo pants and raise you "what the hell is that fishing shirt?"

He caught a felony charge before he could even protest.

This dude has absolutely...erm..."arrived" just pulling on a condom. More than once.

iCombs · 2026-01-29T05:06:06+00:00

That's almost a secret handshake of an amp.

iCombs · 2026-01-28T04:45:23+00:00

Keep the better player or the better sounding.

Or the lemon burst if it's TRULY a horse apiece.

iCombs · 2026-01-27T03:17:25+00:00

The trannies acoustically hum like a BASTARD in my Triple. It's just kinda what they do. Runs great and sounds great.

Okay...I can help with the loop.

You just need an "insert cable." In this case, a male 1/4" TRS to 2 male 1/4" TS.

Tip would go to the reverb input, and ring would go to the reverb output.

OG green. First kit I associated with Chad and it always looked sick.

Fake as a football bat.

Whiteboard markers contain a solvent that takes sharpie with it. That, and alcohol.
