A retail site worth checking out, Fu-Tone. I was searching online for a couple of items, and when Fu-Tone came up often, I figure it's worth a deeper dive next week.
First odd find of the week, via D'Addario.
So, you get to a gig, and find that you're one power lead short, or whoever grabbed the bag isn't there yet, or your cord gets mangled and nobody has a spare. Keep one of these $12 adapters in your case, and turn any one-socket extension cord into power.
Next: I really enjoy Strats (and good clones), and even though I only rarely use the vibrato ("tremolo"), I kinda feel that the mechanism defines the "Strat tone" -- else I'd be playing a Tele, right?
But often there's a resonant pount at precisely the wrong point, resulting in either a critical dub note or howling feedback, not to mention the continued ringing discord of the springs when I'm damping.
Solution: dip 'em in soft plastic -- and maybe also find a more suitable tension.
