It took close to three months, but the Staytrem bridge I ordered for a Squier Bass VI is now ready and on its way.

Am looking forward to swapping it in for the subpar stock one.

When that's taken care of, I'll be pretty much done with gear acquisition, mods, and optimizing. It has been a drawn-out journey. A grind even, at times. Patience testing. A whole lotta fun, too, I should add, and informative, but . . . am good now.

EDIT: Double post

Currently attempting to revive a Korg dw-6000 synthesizer. Had to order this to test preliminary, hopefully it works:

Picked up a pair of practical tom mics this am and when I got back home, a very impractical distortion pedal had arrived in the mail. Great day.

What mic is that?

Hate to be that guy (I don’t really) but it’s probably fake and is extremely cruel if it’s not. I recommend not getting any more.

Please share your impressions once you've put them through their places.

Maybe cruel, but I don’t think its fake. The coffee tastes and smells extremely woody and earthy and bizarre.

Might be a while as I don't have a functional setup going that I can easily patch them into at the moment.

From what I've read, they're a totally useful eq if you're not too hung up on the exact sound of an original pultec. I've got a set of pultec filters from vintagewindings.com and ultimately plan to build a solid state clone with some opamps from capi-gear.com. The KT's were each under $150 though, so I can't really argue with that for a pair of pultec-lites...or even a pair of pre-made faceplates/chassis' for that matter.

I'll try to run something through them in the next week or so and report back.
