    So… I’ve got a blonde tonemaster twin. I play in a punk band. I generally use it on the highest settings at shows/practice, but it’s on 5 or so. Then on the lowest setting at home. I’ve got a half stack and I’ve got a blues jr too, but really haven’t played either of them since picking this up. It is kind of a do it all amp. I’ve never had a problem with it. Sounds great. Takes pedals. Easy to take places. Looks great. People have weird feelings about them, but it’s a legit great amp.

Guitar question: I’m making my own nut and when I took the old one out, the nitro clear on the head stock broke a bit. It looks like a rough white edge now. Can I wet sand it, or heat it up or clear over it again? Any thoughts are appreciated. Miss you! 🤟

    Your problem might have been low voltage. Digital amps and keyboard modules don't like low voltage. Lab Series amps were known to have shut downs with low voltage and some people never experienced it too. I was doing a show on a hot August night just south of Boston and everyone in the city turned on their A/C. My keyboard player's modules began to shut down one by one until all he had was the stock piano patch and that died as soon as we finished.

I just saved and got a real LP. Got it used got a pretty good price on a 2007 plain top custom shop 58, (R8). 9th one made that year. Didn't do it to be a snob, just can't get into stealing. I don't know too many people that wouldn't be pissed if they got something stolen. Kinda the old do unto others.

    They are a gas and a half to start in roughly destroyed shape and try to bring back to playable, though it takes serious time. I have a functional Russian Elta, a functional GDR Musima Deluxe 25 with 51P-bass pickups, a Jolana Basso IX, started as a broken body husk, now has a Kahler slanted bridge, Alumitone J pickups, 3 piece 3 color stacked plexi pickguard, Buick Skylark Blue paint with a clear colorshift overcoat (paid for the paint job), with an intact flourescent orange period correct form fit vinyl gig bag - eye abuse radical and sounds well. A destroyed Tonika being rebuilt, doing a neck swap with a 1970's Matsumoku neck, black pickguard, black body (that crazy super thick crackly gel paint) black HW (Fender style bridge, dome knobs) - gnarly. A once destroyed Jolana Iris bass (think Tele) rebuilt with 3D printed pickup covers. And lastly, a destroyed Bulgarian Orpheus Hebros semi hollow, red burst natural relic, uncertain if this one can be brought back. The GDR bass is definitely stage quality, along with the Jolanas to a lesser extent. Fun stuff if you like a challenge and want to learn on something more than a partscaster.

    I have the red one and I also put a white pearl pickguard on mine along with red metal knobs, locking tuners and roller trees. Now I'm thinking I might upgrade the logo with waterslide decals. Awesome guitar, I'm very happy with it. I'm a fan of short scale guitars (though I am still more of a Strat guy.)

    I have no amp repairers left in my city or anywhere remotely close by. I love the sound of tube amps but without anyone left to service theses amps the tech simply became to unreliable. Theres nothing to suggest if looked after this tone master amps wont last a life time, should it die well its not a huge financial outlay & i can ride the wave of digital evolution. Reliability is key for me.

    Hey Brother! Hope you’re doing well. I have a Mustang question: I got a nitro refin with comp stripes and the color on the stripes is off. Can I sand the clear coat off, tape off the stripes and paint over just the stripes? The base paint is good it’s just the stripes are bugging me. Thoughts?

    • @breilly66
      @breilly66 Місяць тому

      Hey Bry! Let's ask this question first. Are the stripes raised as you lightly drag your nail over the visible edge? Or is the color nearly level with the body hue?

    • @breilly66
      @breilly66 Місяць тому

      Hmm... okay. So the color is likely just a dusting but def under the clear. And the nitro could be pretty thin. The simplest way, would be to spray over the existing. Since the level is even without a step, an overspray can be laid on without the step ghosting upward into reflectivity. To cut into it without knowing the depth, would be like opening a package with a knife. Could break through a level not intended. :/

    • @breilly66
      @breilly66 Місяць тому

      Appreciate that greatly. 🙏 Regarding the clear, I find that a solid can very easily brought up to shine and that metallics tend to tint or get dull in their radiance with a top coat. Now translucents..... those I always clear over once I hit the hue and opacity desired. This way it stays during any leveling wetsanding or buffing. :)
