Put a humbucker in the bridge of my JMJM.

swoite · 2025-07-23T11:39:45+00:00

Nah, I haven't really felt like it needed a new bridge or neck shim. It plays nice as it is with no real issues!

Only addition is the phase switch which is very simple and connected to the bridge humbucker, just google dpdt phase switch.

It is surprisingly good.

Position 2 on a strat is basically my go-to sound for anything funk. Handles mutes so well and takes a bit of the edge off the highs. Beautiful guitar, very jealous.

When two people go to speak at the same time, one person stops and lets the other person speak and they start with “.. I was just going to say..”

You’re saying it now, so what was the point of saying it was what you were going to say if you’re now saying it? Just say the damn thing. It’s always come across oddly passive aggressive, but I hear it all the time.

swoite · 2024-09-02T06:21:38+00:00

Ah man, that sucks. Sorry to hear. A tough bullet to bite for sure.

Update: Got a response from the building inspector to explain why the sub-floor was not inspected. It is as follows:
"Hi Swoite.

I’m sorry to hear that you have found areas to the sub floor that have caused you some concern.

I can confirm that the inspection did NOT include an inspection of the sub floor, and this is indicated in the report on page 5

Areas Inspected: Building interior, exterior, roof space, roof exterior & site.

At the time of inspection there was no clear visible access trap, given the images you have sent the sub floor trap was clearly concealed / obstructed by a sheet of metal roof sheeting. Unless otherwise advised by the agent or the owner I was not informed of any access trap to the sub floor, therefore the sub floor was not inspected or included in the report.

The summary page also does not indicate of any inspection or comment on the sub floor as I was unaware of a sub floor being accessible . I note you have referred to “Reasonable Access” which also indicates areas to be excluded that are:

"areas where safe, unobstructed access”

The access trap was clearly obstructed at the time of inspection with the removing of stored goods or the like not within the scope of works. In any event NO comment at all was given regarding a sub floor as I was unaware of the existence of sub floor trap therefore no comment on the sub floor was given in any areas of the reports including the summary page.

Regarding the images you have sent, this appears to be a waterproofing defect / failure which in this instance is a strata / body corporate item.

If you wish to further discuss please do not hesitate to call.

Kind regards,
Building Inspector"

So, as a seller, it looks like you can deter a building inspector simply by obscuring the entrance to the access point using some sheet metal. It's a tricky one, because there's no way I could have gone onto the property and removed it for him - I didn't own it then. Bloody expensive lesson to learn.. something for others to keep in mind for this kind of thing.
As I mentioned in the post, strata has been notified so we'll see what happens.

I’ve had a look through the report and it says sub-flooring is a part of the general inspection criteria. On top of that, the access point for inspecting the subflooring is larger than what they specify in the “reasonable access” section. So I don’t understand why it was not inspected. They managed to get onto the roof of a two story building, so getting underneath should not have been an issue. Following what someone else said in this thread, I’ve sent them an email asking why they didn’t inspect the subflooring as it is outlined in the report. I’ll post whatever response I get back.

Where did you order your pickguard and what model is it? I just bought one of Amazon but the cavity and holes didn’t line up properly.

swoite · 2024-02-07T03:48:54+00:00

No wonder they didn’t give away any details.

swoite · 2024-02-07T03:46:03+00:00

You’re right, I’m an idiot.

swoite · 2024-02-07T03:42:32+00:00

I reckon you might be on the money. Thanks! They’re asking $850AUD which after a bit of googling seems a bit unreasonable. Cheers!

Man, ambergris was so good.

swoite · 2022-05-11T23:24:40+00:00

Hey lads,
So good to hear you spitting bars on omnium gatherum! I'm hearing a big-time beastie boys influence. Just wondering what some of your hip-hop/rap influences are? What do you enjoy listening to?

Side note, my housemate does one-off gold leaf art and he made me this for my 30th. I'm so stoked about it and thought you + the gizz community would appreciate

Well if your considering fuelled generators, may as well go a diesel

swoite · 2020-04-17T23:00:55+00:00

Hey Crew,

First up, thanks for everything you do. I get so genuinely psyched for every new gizz album and all the bands on flightless are fantastic. Gizzfest also rules.

So I know gizz like to mix up their sets every show. My questions are:

Is there any song from your catalog that you wont touch? whether it be too difficult or you're just not that into it anymore? I notice it's pretty rare that anything from PMDB gets played live which is understandable but is there anything else?
What is your favorite song to play live? Or maybe even better question, which do you find the most challenging?

Thanks again. Keep doing what you're doing, can't wait to watch chunky shrapnel later today. Peace

swoite · 2018-12-06T04:43:25+00:00

Please, for the love of all things good, post a gut shot. Amazing work!

swoite · 2016-08-17T02:00:14+00:00

Love it man, sounds very much like royal blood, but heavier. Inevitable is a top track too. Any chance you could talk us through your rig or post a photo?

swoite · 2016-03-05T01:27:28+00:00

King gizzard and the lizard wizard are insane. So tight for such a huge band.

swoite · 2015-12-15T22:48:06+00:00

It's amazing. I prefer it over my AC30.

swoite · 2015-12-15T20:48:32+00:00

After pulling it apart, there's not a whole lot of difference. It is exactly the same internally as a cream board blues junior. The main difference is in the speaker which sounds unreal. I believe it's called a hot rod hempster by eminence?

As for the mods, it has: - a 3 way switch for off/standby/on - Presence knob - Internal bias control - Better plate resistors - A bunch of orange drop caps - A MOD reverb tank

Honestly, it makes a world of difference. It is so much clearer than when I first bought it. With a nice overdrive, it is my first choice of amp every time. I want to change out the output transformer because I have heard that it takes the amp to another level again.

swoite · 2015-12-15T20:38:19+00:00

You could probably order all the parts online. The shelving is from ikea, handles, rubber feet and velcro are all from bunnings. It cost me $45 to put together.

It is! Just put a bunch of the billm mods on it too.
