Damn, I wish I had room for that on my pedalboard .... but my distortions have only one rail of a Pedaltrain Novo.

Looks great, sounds awesome.  Nice work! 

Callaham makes awesome products, and should have one that matches your guitar:

https://www.callahamguitars.com/tele_bridges_catalog.htm

I have a Callahan on a different guitar. It looks cooler than the Wilkenson but I like the Wilkinson more. It's way cheaper and easily as good quality wise IMO

Whatever direction you go, the Callaham "Will it fit?" page may be of some use?  Seems like it's either "vintage" or "modern" when it comes to Tele bridges.  No other options. 

For what it's worth, I recommend the "Fender Telecaster Custom Bridge Plate w/ Hybrid Double Flange Notches" from Bridge Works (http://thebridge-works.com/Fender-Telecaster-Custom-Bridge-Plate-w-Hybrid-Double-Flange-Notches-P2319033.aspx) from a cost:function ratio.

I'm deeply disappointed. The writing has been going downhill ever since they ran out of book material, but this season it just feels like it fell off a cliff. The entire season felt rushed and forced, characters that were supposed to be intelligent made nonsensical decisions again and again for completely contrived reasons, and they threw 7 seasons of narrative buildup and character development out the window for a few cheap twists. It's a damn shame too, because the acting and production were probably the best they've ever been and I feel bad for the cast and crew for pouring their hearts and souls into it when the writers/showrunners were clearly just phoning it in so they can move on to destroying Star Wars.

^^This ... mostly.  I thought the last episode / finale was alright ... mostly, but way too rushed getting there this past two seasons (particularly this one) and still some major WTH outcomes.  Arya did WHAT?!? 

Hi All. 

I've decided to unload some of my backlog of unbuilt PCBs.  However, Canada Post has told me that I can't tape them inside greeting cards and ship to the US anymore.  Instead, I now have to ship them as parcels ...  Seems to me that would make the postage worth more than the circuit board ...

Before I post a list of circuits for sale in the forum, I'd appreciate it if folks could let me know how they're currently shipping PCBs and what I might be looking at for cost?  I'm not looking to make money, just recover some costs and move along boards that I likely won't get to.

Thanks!

Is this what you were told by Canada Post or did you mail something off and have it rejected/returned to sender? I'm in Canada too & for a brief period of time, mailman.

Just what I was told davent.  Canada Post wouldn't accept a letter that wasn't fully flexible (because it contained a PCB) unless I sent it as a parcel (i.e. small packet, tracked packet, etc.).

Thanks for the replies all.  Going to post a whack of circuits in the buy & sell.  Hope the prices are reasonable.  Shipping will be $15 unless you're in Canada; doesn't mater how many or few PCBs you want.  Just hoping to break even on the shipping and recover a portion of outlay on boards. Let's see what happens!

I'm shipping boards with the cheapest small parcel option at the local Post Shop, it works out to maybe $15NZD per parcel, with no tracking.

Ouch!  Yes, that seems in line with what I saw at Canada Post.

I think 2n3965 must be a mistake (both in BOM and schematic ...).  Effects Layouts lists it as a 2n3565 (http://effectslayouts.blogspot.com/2016/07/harmonic-percolator.html) ... do a few other places.

My box of fail is growing faster than my pile of successful builds.  Just saying.

You should see the pile of failed, shitty PCBs I've thrown away over the years due to board-breaking design mistakes.

Well, I'll try to avoid throwing these cursed, @#$ing PCBs out ... maybe.  Actually, I'll send these circuits to anyone in Canada, US or UK who will troubleshoot the populated, unworking PCBs, fix them and tell me where I went wrong:

- VFE Blueprint with tap tempo
- lectric-fx Zirconia
- Kastle (brejna) Bass Drive DI

You can keep them after that.  Any takers?  Send me a PM.

I'm failing tremendously at successful builds tonight, so why not try this?

Basic 4:4 time?

Composed in rehersals?

Compelling, accessible, narrative lyrics?

Gradual entry of instruments and building lyrical intensity to crescendo followed by coda?

Trident studio reverb, layered mixing and subtle use of double-tracking?

George is playing a Mustang?

Dunno? 

Killer job! I've got one of these boards lying around as well buy I need to build up some confidence first.

^Me too!  Nice work.  Turned out great!

Good advice guys.  Thanks!  Much appreciated.  Off to do some research, then likely onto Reverb.  No rush on my part, so happy to at least semi-automate the process.

Hi all.

Disclaimer / lengthy preface: I really don't like selling stuff.  The whole exchange of my stuff for your cash and potential for miscommunication and sideways-ness stresses me out.  Even though I've never had a bad transaction ... it's still a thing for me.  Also, I tend to overthink things.  [The two issues are not unrelated ... as I'm sure you can imagine.]  To date, I've tended to avoid selling by trading things in or giving stuff away or gotten it over with by asking for very little, but occasionally I have something that either isn't trade-in-able or is worth a bit more than I'd like to give away ... especially when I'd like some cash to buy something else (like a neck for a Mustang-style guitar build that I'm collecting parts for).

Anyhow ... this brings us to my question.  What do you think is a reasonable price to ask for used guitar guts? 

I posted this on the TDPRI website: http://www.tdpri.com/threads/seymour-duncan-humbuckers-59-bridge-seth-lover-neck.909089/.  I'm more comfortable with the folks here, so would appreciate any feedback on the price or any other thoughts on selling used guitar guts.

With that in mind, I also have a used 335-style split-coil wiring harness from jonseyblues (on this page: http://www.jonesyblues.com/sg--335--flying-v-wiring-.html) that was attached to the humbuckers.  Is this something you'd even consider selling or is that plain nutty?  Again, I'd appreciate any feedback.

Odd questions, I know.  It's my growth area! 

Thanks, Bruce.

Do we really need four posts to ask the same question? Once is enough.

In fairness, there are lots of people really curious if the afterlife really exists.

LOL  Fave post. 

Hey ciwi.

The Afterlife is the first 1590A circuit listed on MB's project page: http://www.madbeanpedals.com/projects/index.html

In stock and well-documented.

Happy building.
