Titanium Floyd Rose Big-Blocks are the shiznit.

[Coyote]

Crossed the barrier an hour ago...

Bit too wired to get some sleep yet. (1:32AM out here.)

[Coyote]

And I'm pretty sure checking out some old Malcolm X speeches ain't gonna help...

I'd catch up on my jazz theory books, but I can't go comatose (yet).

[jhale667]

Well, good luck, and let us know how it turns out this weekend.

[Coyote]

Of course I will, unless I end up at some political rally.

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

Length times width times height.. what's the lock he's got on that - do you think Library of Congress is gonna issue him a patent for that, Brainert?

Since he's the machinist for the D-tuna, he can read this also: he is the reason I haven't bought one because his tolerances are crap. If he really makes those, that is.

I thought for fucking sure Gotoh did those things up in China they're so worthlessly made.

I guess we'll never know the Aluminum Vs. Titanium challenge has any merit to it because you are so fucked in the head. You really think I give a shit, however, I am the only ass with the chops to show YOU my suspicions are correct.

This guy says he chooses only the "best most expensive grade of titanium" which is not necessary. Unless you're selling snake oil.

Since he's watching the thread now why not have Mr. Starblower make you an aluminum block and let you be the judge. That way, we won't let the "secret difuckingmensions" out of the bag.

It's exotic, but so is a Chia Pet and nobody's buying $200 for that either.

My suspicions are this: aluminum and titanium are about equal in weight compared to steel so a block made of either would be of better benefit than steel for transferring resonance to the body.

But your pickup must be mounted to the body in order to appreciate the difference, not mounted to pickup rings.

If you know how to use a ruler, go get one at the 99 cents store down on Lankershim. That'll do for this test.

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.

I have nothing.

[Diamondjimi]

Why don't you just make one from crushing up the beer cans you collect from the highways in So. Cal., Christ you're only installing it on your '88 Charvette!

[GAR]

And why don't you give your Marshalls a second coat of house paint?

[Diamondjimi]

Why don't you GET a fuckin Marshall?!

[Diamondjimi]

How's the combover workin for ya, little fella?

It is very creative how you manage to try and get the 8 strands of hair you have left try and cover that Drive In movie screen sized forehead ya got there.

Been bald since my early 20's.. keep tellin you it aint me but does no good except sparing my re-owning you.

I actually spent the time to count how many times you owned him: twice.

But I digress. All this fighting is silly (don't mean to sound like a hippie), so please, I know how much you hate eachother, but keep the shit out of the Kool-Aid and we'll do fine.

Maybe not, but think I'm gonna help your sorry ass rip him off, Mensa? :tongue0011:

Balding since your 20s? That explains some of the bitterness...

[letsrock]

So did Coyote start his upgrade, with all the love going around it gets harder to read thru the BS.

[jackassrock]

No shit. The constant bickering is fucking annoying !
