I'm looking at getting gold hardware for my SRX500 but I'm probably going to order tuners/knobs and a bridge at once from Schaller.

That sounds like some alright stuff though.

Fine then!

I hear ya, though. I was going to put gold hardware on my Stingray, but decided that I want to go with black hardware instead. Some hipshot ultralites, (maybe) an ultralite D-tuner, and black barrel knobs. Probably $200 for everything, but I'll have a stealth stingray (minus the maple fretboard) with .045-.065-.090-.120 steel strings. It has the world's sexiest pick tone with the steels on it.

gaslight 11-03-2009 12:09 PM

Nice one dude.

I've generally avoided gold hardware but it will look really sexy coupled with the fiery orange finish on my SRX. Got the gold straplocks so far, they look tight. I'm wondering if I can get a different neck put in some day, as a bit of a customisation effort. Things To Do, Maybe.

I like gold hardware when set against black, blue, or purple. I like black hardware when set up against lighter colors. I'm not much of a chrome fan.

Most necks are made for just Fender/G&L/MusicMan/Gibson projects, so getting one to fit your SRX may have to be a custom job, or you might have to do some shaping of your own.

Just finishing out the remainder of my work day and REALLY hoping I don't have a calculus assignment due today (backpack is at home, so I can't check).

Band has finally been practicing again. We ripped it up the other day. Not that we were perfect, but it went really well. We even played a few songs we haven't touched in a long time, which was pretty fun.

We've got up to three shows before the end of the year, so we need to make sure we're more ready than we've ever been, because this is getting ridiculous. I don't like blaming others, but I have never been the one to completely screw up a song during a show, and I can't say that about everyone else in the band.

BenJammin 11-03-2009 04:50 PM

Screwing up sucks. We've been practicing lots lately, as well. Mostly because our second guitarist has only been playing with us for about a month and he had lots of parts to learn and perfect.

I wanna share some of the stuff we've done lately, because I think they're sweet songs, but Jem's trying to keep some stuff not online so that we'll have some surprises. We've got 3 new songs, and 2 total remakes of older ones. >_<

Dude, we may have three shows THIS WEEKEND.

We're playing a show this Friday and Saturday, and we have been offered a show this Sunday. We're also playing Metalstock on the 14th and opening up for Flaw on the 25th. We're trying to pick up a spot opening for Days of the New and another spot for Authority Zero (the 20th and 21st).

I think we're going to focus on recording during the month of December.

Spaceman Spiff 11-03-2009 04:56 PM

Days Of The New are still around? Damn.

Well, we're not ready to have any show this weekend.

Days of the New I think is re-formed. Most of the guys left to form Tantric, but I think the drummer and bassist got back together with the original DotN lead singer and are preforming again.

Idk. Band drama sh*t.

Even if we don't play it, I wanna go to that show.

you can buy an upgrade, depending on whether you use 32-bit or 64-bit.
I did an upgrade and it kept all of my files and settings from vista

Apparently if you do a custom install from XP, it'll put all your files in a folder called windows.old ... I backed up my music and shool stuff on my external though, just in case.

Can you upgrade from XP or Vista? I thought it was a Vista-only upgrade.

In any case, I can't get Windows on my computer because XP wont recognize my sata harddrives and I can't find a working Vista copy. Anybody have a Vista install disc they'd like to throw my way?

Tonight, I'm going to attempt to chemically strip the chrome from my control plate of my MM Stingray. If it works, I will then dye it black. If it all works well, I will move onto the knobs, the string tree, the tuner ears, and eventually **gulp** the bridge.

EBMM has been less than helpful in regards to obtaining some of their black hardware (which they do make...I even offered to send in my original Stingray hardware & pay for all new hardware to avoid potential copyright problems....and they just wouldn't have it).

I thought it was only from vista too, but you just have to do a custom install and you can upgrade directly from XP.

Without a floppy drive, Windows wont let me install XP, which is BS. I just need a vista cd.

I only have SATA hard drives in my new computer, and windows XP predates SATA technology. It requires a 3rd party RAID controller, and from the looks of it, it will only recognize a floppy drive as the medium for a 3rd party driver.

BenJammin 11-04-2009 02:35 PM

Huh. I did not know that. I installed a Windows XP partition on my Mac, from CD, without any problems.
