Wow, this was a special night.. You know it's the right time to be in New York when Feist announces a special launch show during the day of the gig and you happen to be able to get a ticket just by purchasing a copy of her new record, Metals at the local record store. I dashed out to the Soundfix records in Williamsburg without a moment's haste and that evening my friend Yvette and I were in for a treat!</div>

I was
particularly interested to see this work from Joe Jones at MoMA, in NY.
It's some mechanical sound installation type pieces from
1970/71, involving little battery-powered electric motors that strum on some
strings, somewhat like a harp.
Particularly synchronistic to see this work now, as my friend Jasmine
(AKA 'Jasmina Maschine') has just been exploring ways to create a
similar motorised mechanical device for a sound project in Berlin.
One of the other highlights of MoMA for me was the photography section,
with amazing works from early days of the medium, to some great present
day works.<br />

<br />
<br />Yes, it's that time of year again - time to depart the shores of fair old Aussie land and see what's going on in the far off but not so foreign lands, once more.
<br />
<br />I'm gonna be in Europe for 2 months, visiting the Klangbad Festival in the south of Germany, and putting together a film on it with my friend Beck, in Berlin.
<br />
<br />Then I'll be in the USA again, trawling for guitars and so forth, as a lad must do when possible...
<br />
<br />First port of call was Passau to visit my old mate Monika for the weekend..

<br />Also, the cathedral was notable, containing apparently the largest pipe organ in Europe, or some such. I was thinking of taking it home for my brother Murray, who's quite partial to a nice keyboard instrument, but I've got a long way to go and it would probably blow out my carry-on baggage limit.. <span style="font-style:italic;">(sorry Muz)</span>

The guys that work here are super dooper sweet, and they've got an excellent supply of parts, perfect for rounding up the bits for that Fender 60's Duo Sonic project you've got on the go!<br />

(Sunday)Outside Lands, Sun 15th Aug 2010, Golden Gate Park, in beautiful San Francisco.<br /><br />Riding through San Fran by bike is a great way to see some beautiful sights, but there are some BIG hills along the way.. <br /><br />I somehow managed to navigate it, though, to join the stream of funky & hip folk chugging through this gorgeous bushy park. Got through the gates right in time for The Temper Trap, who were playing early on in the program, and they ripped it up! A great performance from these fellows, with a beautiful new song early on in the set too, which was a highlight for me, and worthy of note. Check out my take on the day...<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">My lads from Melbz, The Temper Trap:</span><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_j72xPs1UlHk/TGumd1qtK6I/AAAAAAAAAR0/O5xRXqIZtrk/s1600/P8164031+Outside+Lands+Moog.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 370px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_j72xPs1UlHk/TGumd1qtK6I/AAAAAAAAAR0/O5xRXqIZtrk/s400/P8164031+Outside+Lands+Moog.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5506678000943180706" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_j72xPs1UlHk/TGumeM0i9dI/AAAAAAAAAR8/n8NEmroL3fY/s1600/P8164029+Bass.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 389px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_j72xPs1UlHk/TGumeM0i9dI/AAAAAAAAAR8/n8NEmroL3fY/s400/P8164029+Bass.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5506678007158470098" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_j72xPs1UlHk/TGul-V12ZWI/AAAAAAAAARk/yfiWhd7GLZs/s1600/P8164052+Temper+Trap.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 236px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_j72xPs1UlHk/TGul-V12ZWI/AAAAAAAAARk/yfiWhd7GLZs/s400/P8164052+Temper+Trap.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5506677459824043362" /></a><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Temporary Tatto0s for a program - that's clever!</span><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_j72xPs1UlHk/TGul-tdkebI/AAAAAAAAARs/RpvAKEtVJ6E/s1600/P8164042+Tattoo+program.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 376px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_j72xPs1UlHk/TGul-tdkebI/AAAAAAAAARs/RpvAKEtVJ6E/s400/P8164042+Tattoo+program.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5506677466164656562" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_j72xPs1UlHk/TGul92vJH9I/AAAAAAAAARc/cG9-3KmjWxg/s1600/P8164058+Mates.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_j72xPs1UlHk/TGul92vJH9I/AAAAAAAAARc/cG9-3KmjWxg/s400/P8164058+Mates.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5506677451474411474" /></a><br />This festival just has such an amazing vibe - everyone is very chilled out, but creative and colourful as well. The town just seems to be full of spunky freaky people. I just can't fault the place. And they came in droves for a great line-up today, including Phoenix, Kings of Leon, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pwnefUaKCbc">Janelle Monáe</a>, Al Green, Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros, Chromeo, Empire of the Sun, and <a href="http://www.myspace.com/budosband">The Budos Band</a>, who I'd never heard of before, but I was just lapping it up. All over it. These guys have some grooves on! Do yourself a favour and check them out. They have a new album just out.

We had a big decision to make! I gulped hard & made the call: if she was up to it (being the sole insured driver of the mighty Volvo station wagon) I was certainly into pushing on through - taking a bit more of the coastal route and then following the 101 inland for the more direct highway connection up through to San Fran.<br /><br />As it turned out, we kept on talking and chatting about this and that and all-sorts (as you tend to do on a proper road trip!) and the journey was just lovely! Even though we'd chosen the less awesome tourist route, I found the scenery along the way actually rather interesting and beautiful, and Heather kept me informed with bits of information on what was being grown along the road sides, plus various places which were common to use on shoots for this and that. I couldn't have wished for a better tour of California! Thank you, Heather!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_j72xPs1UlHk/TJfLaQQvxVI/AAAAAAAAAaU/hAsBY5wMV84/s1600/P8143891+sunset+stobeys.jpg"><img style="display:block;

At least that was the assumption I was working with, and I wasn't going to give up before thoroughly putting my hypothesis to the test by exploring all avenues...<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_j72xPs1UlHk/TGcpZQuo1wI/AAAAAAAAAMs/hbz55IsXSoM/s1600/P8103570+notes.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_j72xPs1UlHk/TGcpZQuo1wI/AAAAAAAAAMs/hbz55IsXSoM/s400/P8103570+notes.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5505414583447770882" /></a><br />And what better place to seek out an old classic than California, the home state of Fender Guitars, pioneers of the mass production and dissemination of the iconic Stratocasters & Telecasters from the beginnings of Rock 'n Roll? Leo Fender & Co. produced, in my mind, absolutely the best combination of styles and features to be packed into the six stringed format, even going back to their earliest designs, now around 60 years since initial inception!<br /><br />So, over the course of my two week stay cycling and busing around LA, and with the additional untiring aid of my amazing mate Heather, who drove me all around to this place and that - pointing out iconic landmarks and illuminating historical and contemporary anecdotes along the way - I traversed the vast metropolis multiple times, following up leads on some 60's and 70's gems to take along with me for the onward journey.. <br /><br />So, here's what I rounded up over the course of these past days leading up to departure from LA.. <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_j72xPs1UlHk/TGcN9TutALI/AAAAAAAAAKk/jlMloKZ_BM8/s1600/P8133683.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_j72xPs1UlHk/TGcN9TutALI/AAAAAAAAAKk/jlMloKZ_BM8/s400/P8133683.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5505384416403062962" /></a><br />A motley crew, by the professional collector's standards, but for me, a veritable booty score. Left to right, you can see the Gibson SG Melody Maker (1968), which was my first find (see Aug 5th post). Then the gold/copper coloured guitar (pictured below) is a <a href="http://www.freewebs.com/silvertoneguitar/">Silvertone</a>, available back in the 50's from the Sears department store. These guitars were the everyday beginners guitar of the day, built economically and ingeniously from basic materials by the Danelectro company, and have had a resurgence in recent decades, with some well known artists sporting them on stage, and a bunch of reissues now available. <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_j72xPs1UlHk/TGcYzJf0ggI/AAAAAAAAALE/aI7ZCG9dpNg/s1600/P8123655.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_j72xPs1UlHk/TGcYzJf0ggI/AAAAAAAAALE/aI7ZCG9dpNg/s400/P8123655.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5505396336485499394" /></a><br />The old original "<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lipstick_pickup">lipstick</a>" pickups (which were literally constructed using surplus lipstick tubes from Avon!) have been switched over at some stage and some regular "<a href="http://www.vanzandtpu.com/">VanZandt</a>" Fender-style single coil pickups have been installed. Also the switching and output jack have been changed around, but overall, it's still got some old 50's charm going on. Actually I reckon this was originally the "<a href="http://www.vintagesilvertones.com/forsale_silvertone_u1_1317.html">1317</a>" model, which came with just one pickup, and the addition of a second pickup is a home job. <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_j72xPs1UlHk/TGcYzWqanDI/AAAAAAAAALM/uhJqNZ1ZKuY/s1600/P8123658.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_j72xPs1UlHk/TGcYzWqanDI/AAAAAAAAALM/uhJqNZ1ZKuY/s400/P8123658.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5505396340019600434" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_j72xPs1UlHk/TGcYzp0Wh9I/AAAAAAAAALU/GAhZLPnJzgQ/s1600/P8123659.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_j72xPs1UlHk/TGcYzp0Wh9I/AAAAAAAAALU/GAhZLPnJzgQ/s400/P8123659.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5505396345161549778" /></a><br />The third guitar along is also a Silvertone guitar, but a later model, from the 60's. This one originally came with a <a href="http://www.myspace.com/silvertone1457"> carry case</a> that has a little valve amplifier and speaker built into the lid, so you could carry your entire practice rig and guitar in one hand! I got just the guitar, in a disassembled condition, from a very nice fellow on Craigslist who used to play a bunch of guitars like this in bands throughout the 70's. Back home and a trip across the road to the hardware store for screws and I got it all re-assembled, and fashioned a simple bridge to complete the picture - Nice! And it sounds great, too! This one has the original lipstick pickups installed. I've seen <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Beck_2006-01.jpg">Beck using this model</a> on stage.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_j72xPs1UlHk/TGcYIwdahJI/AAAAAAAAAK8/Fc-tkdWmres/s1600/P8123641.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_j72xPs1UlHk/TGcYIwdahJI/AAAAAAAAAK8/Fc-tkdWmres/s400/P8123641.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5505395608210015378" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_j72xPs1UlHk/TGcYIpX1sQI/AAAAAAAAAK0/ltOKEyDT73A/s1600/P8113634.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_j72xPs1UlHk/TGcYIpX1sQI/AAAAAAAAAK0/ltOKEyDT73A/s400/P8113634.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5505395606307582210" /></a><br />Finally - unfortunately not a 60's original from Leo Fender's prolific tenure at his own company, but maybe the next best thing -> a 1970's model Fender Musicmaster, with some more recent modifications. Most obviously in the mod department, this thing has a crazy pattern of plastic rhinestone diamante gemstones glued on the face of it! It could arguably be very cool in this crazy crafty state - and it probably looks quite groovy under glittering stage lights - but the gluer obviously ran out of gems midway through the precarious undertaking and left an otherwise inexplicable blank patch behind the bridge. It rather detracts from the effect. Anyway, it may be an excuse for me to strip it back and repaint it at some stage, to more of a <a href="http://www.marcelroy.com/colors.jpg">vintage 60's style colour</a> tone, like the great old car colours they used to use on everything back then.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_j72xPs1UlHk/TGch0fUncqI/AAAAAAAAALc/ncDvMnIQSjE/s1600/P8113636.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_j72xPs1UlHk/TGch0fUncqI/AAAAAAAAALc/ncDvMnIQSjE/s400/P8113636.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5505406255128605346" /></a><br />This Musicmaster has also been modded functionally, with the addition of a <a href="http://www.seymourduncan.com/products/electric/humbucker/progressive/sh4_jb_model/">Seymour Duncan "JB Trembucker"</a> (hotted up humbucker) in the bridge position, as well as an "<a href="http://www.ntune.com/">N-Tune</a>" in-built tuner in the volume knob!

Turns out this is quite tricky (and pricey), as I suspected. Again, it was Heather to the rescue! I got to experience first hand what makes her such a great producer. After carefully squishing the Gibson and one of the Silvertones in a single acoustic shaped case, all padded in between and around the edges, we headed for the box+packing supply store, picked up a large guitar shaped box and a whole lot of "peanut" foam and chugged down to the Post Office. After cutting down the cardboard box some, and packing the cased guitars inside with a bunch of little squishy peanuts, we had an oversize issue, so we headed along to the next post office where the lady was working to a different set of rules. Awesome. <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_j72xPs1UlHk/TGcltiblioI/AAAAAAAAAMM/rAtUKLR3gzo/s1600/P8123679.JPG"><img style="display:block;

How could I not? Check this place out. It's on Lincoln Blvd, not far from my home base, so I swung down for a bit of late lunch: a burger and fries, naturally. I have to say I wasn't particularly taken with the food, but the general vibe was 50's fresh, with these little juke box stations installed at each sitting place.

This was great. It made me realise how nice it must be, as a resident of the city, to be able to exit out the top edge of Hollywood, and ascend up and over the hills, and see the city below from a distance. It's really peaceful up there. There were folks riding horses along the ridge up above, and you can catch a glimpse of the HOLLYWOOD sign across one peak.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_j72xPs1UlHk/TGT2XU-l7WI/AAAAAAAAAJs/g_H_eeH5Iz0/s1600/P8083450+Hollywood+Hills+etc.JPG"><img style="display:block;

Most likely a quite early (circa ~1959) Fender Musicmaster student model electric guitar, which has been modded at some stage to sport some kind of modern humbucker on a checked pickguard - quite cool in my opinion!<br /><br />A tempting proposition, except the $800 asking price is just a little too high, considering I have my eye on a few other things, including an original 1963 example on Craigslist.. But why do I get the feeling I am going to live to regret passing over this one?<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_j72xPs1UlHk/TGTuJeDIjcI/AAAAAAAAAHs/HlJaGyOpMPg/s1600/P8083423+Fender+MusicMaster+%2759.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_j72xPs1UlHk/TGTuJeDIjcI/AAAAAAAAAHs/HlJaGyOpMPg/s400/P8083423+Fender+MusicMaster+%2759.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5504786491006029250" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_j72xPs1UlHk/TGTuFpQVP7I/AAAAAAAAAHk/7ExVlE8nld8/s1600/P8083414+Fender+MusicMaster+%2759.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 304px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_j72xPs1UlHk/TGTuFpQVP7I/AAAAAAAAAHk/7ExVlE8nld8/s400/P8083414+Fender+MusicMaster+%2759.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5504786425294700466" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_j72xPs1UlHk/TGTt__tSlfI/AAAAAAAAAHc/0yM5YCsFsuM/s1600/P8083419+Fender+MusicMaster+%2759.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_j72xPs1UlHk/TGTt__tSlfI/AAAAAAAAAHc/0yM5YCsFsuM/s400/P8083419+Fender+MusicMaster+%2759.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5504786328242525682" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_j72xPs1UlHk/TGTt6JFyLhI/AAAAAAAAAHU/0w2VWCVNILk/s1600/P8083418+Fender+MusicMaster+%2759.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_j72xPs1UlHk/TGTt6JFyLhI/AAAAAAAAAHU/0w2VWCVNILk/s400/P8083418+Fender+MusicMaster+%2759.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5504786227681963538" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_j72xPs1UlHk/TGTt0wk2wcI/AAAAAAAAAHM/RS0obAsWBPk/s1600/P8083420+Fender+MusicMaster+%2759.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_j72xPs1UlHk/TGTt0wk2wcI/AAAAAAAAAHM/RS0obAsWBPk/s400/P8083420+Fender+MusicMaster+%2759.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5504786135202054594" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_j72xPs1UlHk/TGTtsLqsTtI/AAAAAAAAAHE/LP_WR93C9Ag/s1600/P8083417+Fender+MusicMaster+%2759.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_j72xPs1UlHk/TGTtsLqsTtI/AAAAAAAAAHE/LP_WR93C9Ag/s400/P8083417+Fender+MusicMaster+%2759.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5504785987855470290" /></a>Ev Loutonianhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03390416650242896686noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7483420474183219502.post-67208513777085770732010-08-07T23:04:00.000-07:002010-08-12T23:29:35.426-07:00LA regular life snips in large formatOK, so, just to clear this one up: Yes, general items and consumables in the US <span style="font-style:italic;">of</span> A <span style="font-style:italic;">does<span style="font-weight:bold;"></span></span> generally comes in LARGE size as standard.

I must've covered 40km odd, including the ride all the way home down to Venice in the late evening hours - not bad for a little Aussie guy recovering from a nasty flu, still coughing his throat out. No-one here really seems to ride much.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_j72xPs1UlHk/TFtUe-TbHEI/AAAAAAAAAD8/3FJZyrFdng8/s1600/LA+Motel+Landscape.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 399px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_j72xPs1UlHk/TFtUe-TbHEI/AAAAAAAAAD8/3FJZyrFdng8/s400/LA+Motel+Landscape.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5502084260860468290" /></a><br />The pay-off moment for the day was when I stopped in at this unassuming place, called "Royal Pawn Shop" and snooped around long enough to see the familiar Gibson "SG" style shape hanging on the wall, with some other obscure junk half hanging over the top of it.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_j72xPs1UlHk/TFtUIUzjrtI/AAAAAAAAAD0/oGFjAmFer4Q/s1600/Pawn+Shop+CROP-tweak.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 341px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_j72xPs1UlHk/TFtUIUzjrtI/AAAAAAAAAD0/oGFjAmFer4Q/s400/Pawn+Shop+CROP-tweak.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5502083871763836626" /></a><br />A few minutes of twangin on the strings, and checking out the odd additions and modifications previous owners have made, I was pretty sold on it. It actually plays really well, and the guy initially thought the asking price was $110. Turns out that was a tag from another guitar. They wanted $300, but $200 sealed the deal. Stoked.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_j72xPs1UlHk/TFtVcYGf5HI/AAAAAAAAAEE/StWKzB_k59Q/s1600/Gibson+MElody+Maker-Just+Bought.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_j72xPs1UlHk/TFtVcYGf5HI/AAAAAAAAAEE/StWKzB_k59Q/s400/Gibson+MElody+Maker-Just+Bought.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5502085315757597810" /></a><br />Later in the evening I made my way over to West Hollywood to check out the big guitar stores, like GUITAR CENTRE, where the salesman told me he sells guitars to my fellow Melbournite Guy Pearce. Across the road at Sam Ash, the young salesman cringed a bit when I told him I paid $200 for the old Gibson with the colourful past. He recommended I take it back for a refund if that was an option.. I think they have a different take on old wigged out guitars here than we do back in Oz. At least, different to my notion of a good buy.<br /><br />Heck, I'm a happy camper.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_j72xPs1UlHk/TFtWPMDgrFI/AAAAAAAAAEM/UwFakwLVcaI/s1600/Westlake+Theatre.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_j72xPs1UlHk/TFtWPMDgrFI/AAAAAAAAAEM/UwFakwLVcaI/s400/Westlake+Theatre.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5502086188697168978" /></a>Ev Loutonianhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03390416650242896686noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7483420474183219502.post-14069343606172480692010-07-29T20:33:00.000-07:002010-07-29T21:29:45.421-07:00Flu shockerBefore coming down with a nasty shockwave flu late in the afternoon yesterday, I went on another walk with my excellent and gracious host Heather, to explore the parts of town immediately east and north of her home. <br /><br />Here are some images from along the way, including the amazing work of her friend Gwen, who makes immaculately detailed and beautiful 'wedding cake toppers' from card, and also the community gardens on top of the hill, overlooking Santa Monica's airport. <br /><br />Meanwhile, I'm resting up, basically sleeping and feeling sore today, waiting for this flu to pass so I can get stuck into things again. Heather's lovely fella, Glasgow, has a bike set up for me, all ready to go.. so I've just gotta rest up for now and get back in the saddle..<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_j72xPs1UlHk/TFJSqH66NJI/AAAAAAAAADc/8UrsnFH3aLk/s1600/P7293007.JPG"><img style="display:block;

One thing I learned, whether EJ overtly meant to teach it to me or not, was that there wasn't just a right way or a wrong way of doing things, but there was also simply "my own way" and that my natural way of moving would inadvertently, and unavoidably, have an intrinsically inimitable style to it. I could fight against this or push it and explore it. So skateboarding became somewhat like laying down strips of creative expression, in movement, over the surfaces of the world in a very physically engaging way - great stuff for a 9 or 10 year old lad.<br /><br />Thinking back on it now, I'd say that it was these kinds of experiences - often with the guiding presence of EJ there on the sidelines - just doing his thing ahead of me, making gnarly pronouncements of encouragement to a smaller younger fellow suburban kid in the eastern suburbs of Melbourne - that opened up the way for me to follow up the same types of creative possibilities in music, which is what ultimately took over from the skateboarding obsession for me. I never really felt any great deal of natural adeptness or talent for either skateboarding or music, but I have always found it constantly rewards in equal measure to the energy directed into it.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_j72xPs1UlHk/TFCxsV-X_nI/AAAAAAAAABc/GU7G5im3fMI/s1600/P7293016.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_j72xPs1UlHk/TFCxsV-X_nI/AAAAAAAAABc/GU7G5im3fMI/s400/P7293016.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5499090520390499954" /></a><br /><br />Beautiful passionfruit flower in bloom.

The neck seems to be taken from an old affordable 60's Japanese made guitar, the body seems to be made from some basic building timber - perhaps pine - chiseled out roughly for the pickups and electronics, and painted a nice shade of orange, with funky pickguard shaped and fashioned to suit. The pickups were both originally taken from a German "Hofner" electric guitar from the 70's, making me think that this was probably put together some time during that decade, from whatever parts could be scrounged. I have seen one vaguely similar guitar since, which makes me wonder if the creator was messing around with a few different ideas back in the day, perhaps even with a dream of going into manufacturing his own line one day. Who knows?<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_j72xPs1UlHk/TFxkgdP39dI/AAAAAAAAAEk/m6xizSv3pT8/s1600/Hofner+pickup+detail.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 349px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_j72xPs1UlHk/TFxkgdP39dI/AAAAAAAAAEk/m6xizSv3pT8/s400/Hofner+pickup+detail.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5502383353509705170" /></a><br />One of the problems when I received the guitar, is that the bridge pickup was DOA. I took the pickup cover off and had a look inside at the wiring, but there was no obvious point I could see where the fine wires had snapped or come loose from the winding, so I'm presuming it's a break somewhere deeper down in the coil. Might need a complete rewind. I tried out the neck pickup in the bridge position, but it's got a bit of a dull sound, indicating these are pretty lo-fi pickups anyway. My hope is that, with a few strategic tweaks during the repair/remodeling process, the pickup could be rewound to give a clearer, more present tonal response too. Might be a job ideally suited to Seymour Duncan and the folks over there in Santa Barbara, if I can make it up that way when I embark on my maiden voyage to the States next month!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_j72xPs1UlHk/TFxvaDro9GI/AAAAAAAAAE8/UiLXVJv1ddU/s1600/bridge+detail.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 313px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_j72xPs1UlHk/TFxvaDro9GI/AAAAAAAAAE8/UiLXVJv1ddU/s400/bridge+detail.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5502395338195530850" /></a><br />In the meantime, I installed a basic Tele-style bridge pickup in the guitar, which actually sounds pretty great - though it's out-of-phase with the neck pickup, and is held in place with foam and little twigs of wood to keep it in the right position!<br /><br />Other tweaks I made were to move the very basic vibrato bridge back towards the base of the guitar and add a Rickenbacker-style saddle. This gave me the best of both worlds - provision for adjusting the intonation (and height) at this point, and also a good match for the narrow neck width of this guitar, which must be the same as the old smaller scale Rickenbackers.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_j72xPs1UlHk/TFxn8NPnPNI/AAAAAAAAAEs/PK7t2Ogb9oU/s1600/e63+2010-06-(251)+small.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_j72xPs1UlHk/TFxn8NPnPNI/AAAAAAAAAEs/PK7t2Ogb9oU/s400/e63+2010-06-(251)+small.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5502387128784862418" /></a><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">My other homemade custom electric guitars:</span><br /><a href="http://evanlorden.blogspot.com/2010/08/my-custom-homemade-guitars.html">http://evanlorden.blogspot.com/2010/08/my-custom-homemade-guitars.html</a><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Some Hofner links, and info on the Hofner pickups:</span><br /><br />Details of the various pickups and electronics used over the years: <br /><a href="http://www.vintagehofner.co.uk/ramsay/electric.htm">http://www.vintagehofner.co.uk/ramsay/electric.htm</a><br /><br />Here you can see that my pickup is called the TYPE 513:<br /><a href="http://www.vintagehofner.co.uk/hofnerfs/pickups/pup.html">http://www.vintagehofner.co.uk/hofnerfs/pickups/pup.html</a><br /><br />and here you can see the internal construction of this style of pickup:<br /><a href="http://www.vintagehofner.co.uk/hofnerfs/pickups/512.html">http://www.vintagehofner.co.uk/hofnerfs/pickups/512.html</a><br /><br />Some general info on Hofner products:<br /><a href="http://www.vintagehofner.co.uk/cont.html">http://www.vintagehofner.co.uk/cont.html</a><br /><br />Collecting Hofners: <br /><a href="http://home.provide.net/~cfh/hofner.html">http://home.provide.net/~cfh/hofner.html</a>Ev Loutonianhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03390416650242896686noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7483420474183219502.post-46210120320820152732010-07-22T22:35:00.000-07:002010-07-23T03:18:37.351-07:00Boat Anchor Productions<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_j72xPs1UlHk/TEkq8K5XyoI/AAAAAAAAAA8/bMH8CK0FOOw/s1600/AWA+ABCstudio22+sound-control+room.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_j72xPs1UlHk/TEkq8K5XyoI/AAAAAAAAAA8/bMH8CK0FOOw/s320/AWA+ABCstudio22+sound-control+room.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5496972033387907714" border="0" /></a>Inspired by the skillful ingenuity and rugged work-a-day build quality of early recording and broadcast equipment, I'm on the trail of all such items (now getting on toward relic status) to set-up my own production facility.
