Hahaha I fucking love Scully. Gillian Anderson is queen for life. The Fall is fucking awesome if you haven't seen it. Irish serial killer crime drama. Love it.

And I'm fucking SO ready to have this bari in my hands. I haven't played bass in months and I'm a little worried that I'm getting too used to my Les Paul's scale length and I'll be dumb on baritone, but I'm okay with it.

@Chank: those selectors are awesome. I was going to look for big amp-style toggles but I'm worried every time I flip it, the pickups will amplify it.

Could be cool through some dirt and verb though. Kind of a spring verb crash.

Also I'm torn between a regular ol kill switch toggle or a momentary kill switch button for stutters...

If that's the case, get yourself some of those video game buttons they were talkin' about in that other thread. :snax:

PayPal dispute is go!

I don't even want this fucking stupid body anymore. I'll get $300 back from PayPal if all goes well with this dispute and MJT will make me the same thing for $375, and probably better quality, and I'll actually receive it at some point in my life

Too bad PayPal disputes take so long. I have the neck wrapped up and in my closet and a set of BLK TRI pickups on the way. The pickups are going in my Les Paul till I get my body sorted.

Fuck shady internet people. The worst part is that the body is done, the guy just won't answer my emails or send me the damn thing.

So apparently the guy's shop burned down but my guitar survived and he hasn't been able to access his email to read my 100 angry emails and he's out of business now.

BUT my guitar is on the way! Tracking number and everything!
Now to see if its actually right.

Sounds fishy. Can't read email but gets his butt moving when a paypal dispute opens?....how would you not be concerned about notifying customers that their stuff won't be ready because of a fire?

I've been dealing with this kind of stuff for 3 months now. I just hope the body is actually decent quality. And I hope he didn't forget my Pickguard

Seriously though, highly suspicious situation. Hope the body comes through alright.

Well the expected delivery date is today but it hasn't updated since the 8th, so I guess we'll see.

Next time I'm just ordering from MJT.

In other news, I put the Crone pickup I ordered in the bridge of my LP for now, and it fucking rips! I haven't used the neck pickup once since I put it in.

Can't wait to hear the single coil in my new body. And both together :drool:

So who can cut me a Pickguard? I got the body and a sheet of Pickguard material instead of the cut Pickguard i paid for. I'm not bothering with a return on it. The body is gorgeous and pretty well made but this has been a fucking joke from start to finish.
