Fantastic look, inside and out. I especially like the names you gave the controls.
One question: I really like the ribbon cable you used and haven't been able to find any like that. Have a link where I can find it?

Thanks.  The cable is solid core from regular old Radio Shack.  It comes as 4 and I strip off the white (which you can see being used elsewhere)  Other than giving it the festive Christmas look, it keeps things organized for me and forces neatness where I am not otherwise likely to have any.

The names are the properties of neutrinos.  A quick google search took care of that.

"Is This It" by The Strokes for the graphics? not a bad album.

Is it on a Strokes record?  I found it on a science site.  It's the tracks of an early neutrino experimental collision.  I just thought it looked cool.

Thanks, Julien, I appreciate that.  It's a killer hobby and it's made so much better by having a great community around to help and encourage you. 

I have some more projects queued up so I 'spose I should get working

Thanks guys, I really appreciate it.  I made a conscious effort to clean up the wiring this time without going too crazy.

This may or not reduce your hum, but heck, it's just a wire, it's worth a shot right?

Yes, I did it and I think it might have helped.  I used the LP with P90's on it just now it's only evident when you aren't playing.  With the distortion at 11 o'clock, it's got a right nasty snarl to it.  I like it alot.  Thanks as always for the tip.

Here is my new neutrino.  It sounds great.  It's a little hummy (especially with single coils) but it's cool.  The white knob was not intentional.  The 3rd black one I got from Mammoth had a stripped set screw so I grabbed the only one I had laying around.  Thanks again to Brian for the great board and all the forum members for answering the endless questions.


and the insides:

Hey BigMuff and jcuempire I am considering my first time ordering with Tayda. Any concerns or issues with them?

This was my first order with them.  It was so cheap that I ended up buying multiples of alot of stuff simply because I didn't realize they were selling them in batches of 10!  But they were faster than futurelec and every bit as good.  I will order from them again

Wow, that's amazing.  Nice use of limited space.  I agree, the polished metal with the red knob looks killer.  Nice job

I got that same email and I won't be using mine either.  I had the same situation where the email followed a big order.  If anyone would like them, you can PM as well.

Brian,

Best of luck on this venture.  It's pretty obvious that you have a legion of loyal customers that are ready to back you up... and with good reason.  You provide a great service and great products.  Just promise that there will always be stuff for the more stompbox-challenged of us to work on!

Looking forward to the new MBP.

Thanks

Keith

Very cool

I have a '77 Les Paul Double Cutaway with P90's that I just love.  Also a '67 Melody Maker (SG Shaped) that was routed for humbuckers.  I had a friend at PRS refinish it SG Cherry for me.  On the bass side there will always only be the '78 Rick 4001. 

Thanks.  I assumed as much.  It just so happens that the one Cowboy project I have is the only one I can't get to work.  It will work one day!  Thanks

Wow.  I had to ask.  Thanks for clearing that up.

I was wondering what determined a "Cowboy" project versus a "Noob" one.  Is there a part amount threshold that gets breached or is it a judgement call based on how it's set up?  Or something else?  And what is that NOOB graphic?  I can't stop looking at it.

Thanks
Keith
