    FYI - working a shit job is essentially the same as being unemployed. So accept your label and wear it.

    Since you don't have a clue where I work, how would you be able to claim it's "shit", btw?

    Well, then set us straight, Hale. Out with it.

    Unless it's packing fudge. Then I'd understand why you wouldn't want to admit it.

    In other words, you're just a fudge packer.

    Stop spamming the forum with your bullshit, fag.

    In other words, it's NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS, Crybaby. It's obviously KILLING you though. I have a job, somebody wants to post one of my tunes before they're even finished. And you're whining like the spoiled little baby you are. And I take MYSELF too seriously?


    Wanna go ahead and kill yourself now, or are you gonna cry some more?

    And your accusing ME of spamming is the the epitome of the very "I know you are but what am I" defense you keep crying about.

    But wait, there's more...lol

    Then there's the irony of the fact that the guy who decries "starting threadS about (him)" (as if I started more than one dump thread?) is one of the two fuckstumps basically trying to make every thread in this forum about me (or their personal hatred of me at least)?!?

    Uh, I thought we were talking about guitars and cool gear? Should I be flattered or creeped the fuck out?

    Oh, and the FloydUpgrades guy laughed his ass off at GAyR wanting me to blueprint his block so he could copy it....

    Dude you do a killer job of moderating Gear Street! You and Matt were the best choice for the job, period. Notice it's just Clay and BF that have a problem.

    I'm getting to the point of that old saying, "never argue with a fool, bystanders won't know the difference".

    Creep-ed out.
    It is right up there when Jackson openly telling Madonna he was jealous of her children
    Or if Phil Scepter was stalking your girlfriend, or if Madeoff said he was admiring your business plans or if Manson wrote and said he was your a fan of your fans or if Jeffery Dahmer was jealous of your cooking or if a Nazi was jealous of your political ideology or if Elizabeth Bathory was jealous of your complexion or if Johnny Knoxville was jealous of your show ideas or if Dee Snyder was jealous of your look or if Tonya Harding was jealous of your lifestyle or if Michael Vick asked for the pick of the litter of your pet bowser or if Lorena Bobbitt winked at you or if Dr Phil asked you on his show (or to be on yours for that matter) or if Larry Craig asked for your travel plans ...
    Ya might be a creepy fuck if.. kinda stuff
    ( that is a knock-off but might be worth a write...)
    He's fitting all the ticks marks.

    To put it simply, we need to worry a lot less about how to communicate our actions and much more about what our actions communicate.

    Thanks bro.
    Though the whole thing is reminding me of the other old saying "Arguing on the Internet is like competing in the Special Olympics....even if you win, you're still retarded"...

    I mean, clearly I'm winning, but...

    His name is Adam Reiver - totally cool dude. Contact him! He's making them for Schaller and Ibanez bridges now, and he may even have something that will fit your Jackson! You won't know until you ask, y'know?
    Which I did. I sent an e-mail, his answer suggested a Gotoh-block.

    Looks like I'm gonna have to take the trem apart and measure the mounting holes some time next week...
    (unless there's some shortcut to it I'm not aware of yet)
    Why settle for something you have, if it's not as good as something you're out to get?

    In the case of Coyote, he's trying to figure out whether the FloydUpgrades Gotoh-sized Big Block will fit his Jackson Trem.

    In GAyR's case, he wants me to measure one for him so he can attempt to copy it...swindle-boy at work again...but it's not gonna happen.

    And to answer your question to me, no - holding off on switching the rest out for a bit, at least until I finish recording. Already ended up re-doing a bunch of tracks when I switched out the one, and I know I'd end up doing the same thing on the tracks recorded with the other main guitar I'm using (which currently has the brass one installed). That, and they're y'know, kinda expensive~! For the cost of the two blocks I need I could book an entire day in a real studio and bring in someone to do live drum-tracks. So that's gotta happen first.

    I'm kinda puzzled though, do I have to take the saddles off?
    (Stupid question, I know, only asking 'cause so far I haven't done stuff like this.)

    Thumbs up Here ya go...

    Yeah, you will have to...I did a kinda tutorial thing with pics over at RF...and Adam has YouTubes up of how to perform the install and not spend a week re-intonating your bridge once you get it back together...mark each saddle location on the baseplate with a sharpie before you take them off and it gives you a general ballpark of how to re-set them - won't be perfectly intonated when you put 'em back on, but damn close!

    Best thing you can do is keep all your saddles in order as you take them off, so they go back on in the same order (keeping the string heights correct) but it's not reeeeally difficult.

    Here's Adam's YouTubes covering the installation and set-up:








    I'm here to help, regardless of what the trolls say...

    I declare this a weekend project. Got the Jackson with me at school, and I can't exactly be without an axe here...

    Yeah, I see your point - block (no pun intended) out a good hour or so, maybe two the first time...but it probably won't take as long as you think.

    True. But I'll still do this on the weekend. :tongue0011: Rather do this nice'n'slow, than fast'n'fuck-it-up.

    I checked out the Gotoh site, BTW. To my eyes, looks identical with the Jackson floyd...

    Pretty sure Gotoh makes them for Jackson...but not 100%.


    That's right...it's already Monday there, huh? Or about to be, at least?
