Where you come from is gone. Where you thought you were going to weren't never there. And where you are ain't no good unless you can get away from it.

well, i have maybe 4 small pieces of brown lego, so i couldn't do the fretboard on either. red is too bright, and i'm almost right out of black cuz of the amp!

lol, if anyone wants to donate their old lego, i'll see what i can do about a guitar or maybe another model amp!  :D


speaking of guitars and lego, after the first two days of sorting and building, my fingers were SOOO raw. if you wanna build up calluses for playing guitar or bass, dig around in a bin of lego for a few hours!  ;)

Well, there's a shop with only Lego in Cologne or in Aachen, can't remember which city it was. They sell about every single piece of Lego!  :D

That's fantastic. Best amp thread I've seen in a while.
I like how you've used head to make some of the capacitors.

cool as hell-- hall of fame!
I'm glad there are a lot of guitar players pursuing technique as diligently as they possibly can, it leaves this whole other area open to people like me.

So i e-mailed jim campilongo (noted PR user, for those who don't know) and got a response!  :) he said it was amazing and asked if he could share it with the guys at fender.  8) I said yes, of course.  ;D
I was going to try sending a pic or two to Fender, but looking on fender.com for a few minutes, the closest thing i could find was a 'consumer relations' email address.  ???

ah well, campilongo might get it through for me!
