I could do that now, but it would not be a parody, it would be in tribute.

I look forward to hearing this.

Pope, whats the next year have you stressing for?

I've probably mentioned this before (it seems like its the only thing I talk about these days, along with my desperation to get the Mig fixed), but I'm going back to uni next year to study full time. Which means I have to drop back to 40 hours a fortnight at work.
My wife has taken on nights at her job to help us scrape through (because she is fucking amazing like that), but I don't know how we're really gonna go.

Plus, today I realised I'm already mentally over my current job and (have been for a while) but I have to fight the urge to completely clock out emotionally/mentally/spiritually.
A difficult task when the rest of the staff body just could not give a fuck.

So that's: Full time study, part time work, not seeing my wife as much and placing heavy financial burden on her shoulders, and two kids, 3 and 1.
Let's kill this mother fucker dead.

That sounds pretty rough. How long are you projected to be at uni? I have one or two friends that are putting themselves through uni by working, but I know a lot of them get help from their parents; not to mention they're not also balancing kids. If there was a way for you to genuinely enjoy uni I'd suggest trying to find it. (I've discovered in the past year that I actually really enjoy learning new stuff, it just has to be stuff that I want to learn)

This really goes without saying, but you've got all of us behind you if you need a little push now and again.

going back to school myself come spring. I'm looking forward to it but at the same time am a bit scared about it. I plan on studying computer engineering which I'm sure is very easy and should leave me with copious amounts of spare time. It'll just be math and stuff at first at a community college till I'm up to speed and can start taking the serious stuff.

Calling all EU DR operatives!

You guys need to find and steal this. Or whiskey and I will.

Got my initial interview for teacher training on Tuesday. What I didn't know is that I had to do a presentation, and now what seemed easy is suddenly really challenging. I hate it that the entire culmination of a person, their education and abilities comes down to a brief 5 minute presentation where you can't really divulge anything of great importance.

Of course some people are going to be rusty at public speaking or presentations if they've never done it before or it's been a long time since, that's why they're going on the TRAINING degree!

I'm sure you'll do fine. Be confident and yourself. If you know who is interviewing them, do some Facebook stalking and find out what causes they are into and score some etra points.

Helms Alee last night was so damn good. I'm obsessing over them this morning. I was right in front of Ben for the show and I noticed a few things.

So he's an electrical engineer and makes some of the greatest amps you can get right? his bridge ground wire comes out of the pick guard and is soldered to the bridge externally. just seemed funny.
He uses a Wau Wau fuzz for his dirt and it sounds massive. I'm sure a lot of that is interaction with the amp, but does anyone know if he modded it and how? I checked out some demo's of that and they sounded nothing like the tone he's getting.

Speaking of wiring, for the sg I'm thinking 2 volumes for blending the pickups, a tone for just the bridge and a master volume for doing swells and cutting the signal.

Has anyone ever done a wiring setup like this? thoughts?

[new05002]

Skip the blending pot and just have master tone, master volume.

Man, I'd love to see Helms Alee. Their leg of the Russian Circles tour comes to Chicago, but the MI show is an earlier stage of the tour. GASing hard for the Meatsmoke pre right about now.

IIRC, Richard Thompson prefers a setup like the one you're describing, except he skips the tone controls as well - he's got a volume pot for each pickup and that's it.

[deathmonkey]

from conversations i've had with him, that's the original big spider prototype, built into that enclosure. He's been using it since he played bass in harkonen.

[moose23]

The Big Spider is the fuzz section of the Wau Fuzz which is a variant on the Standard Fuzz so makes sense.

It is possibly slightly tweaked but the pictures I've looked at match up with the Wau Fuzz schemes online.

I'm not going to use a blending pot, but individual volume controls for each pup, so I can adjust flavor to taste, and then a master volume (probably in line to the output) with tone only on the bridge pup. Reading back on my earlier post I'm not sure I said that clearly. There would be 4 knobs and a switch that will probably just stay in the middle position for having both on.

Interesting that the big spider came from the Wau circuit. I'm thinking the demo's I saw maybe were affected by the amps used and the players desired results. I might try to pick one up and see how it sounds with my rig.
Might take some time as I have a ton of projects/purchases going on right now. I really need t get off my ass and sell some stuff that's sitting around.
