When is the new cinema thingy opening in Eastbourne?

Hi Simon. Saw your post in the "first strat" thread, where you say you played bass in a band called Monochrome Set. I'm listening to it now and really enjoying. Is this the track you play bass on?

Simon, I had no idea you were a songwriter - you can turn a phrase with the best of them!!

I seen her, she is pretty hot looking and I can only imagine you tossed and turned waiting for that package to arrive. Enjoy and let me know how the new love affair goes with the blonde. :wink:

Can't wait to see some pictures of that 335. I picked up a used Warren Haynes a few months back.

Much appreciated Simon, thanks. Will do!

Season's Greetings! :-D

In a post from this year you say you have a "...wiring diagram that gives you most of the traditional Strat combinations, plus most of the useful Brian May combinations – but without messing up the traditional Strat control layout"

I would be very interested in this. I like Strats and am currently putting one together BUT I don't really need a clone! So I got hold of a set of TriSonics(goodness knows how I am gonna find/modify the PickGuard!). I don't really like the strat mid pup on its own (but maybe I would if it was a TriSonic..?) & so am not too reluctant in losing it and I notice that Brian May himself does not love ALL the selections his Red Special offers so I am searching for a layout that would be easy to use in a not too modify Strat scratchplate.

I think this would be easy enough as I quite like push/pull pots & rotary switches and when ya consider that a few positions on Brian's guitar are repeated AND single pickup selections don't actually need a phase switch then there must already be a simplified wiring diagram out here but I can't seem to find one!

I can wire up guitars well with a diagram or, with patience(!), a schematic but I'm not too good at inventing them from scratch! I don't mind having no tone controls at all, by the way;-)

Thank You for your time!

Thank you Simoncroft for the reply. It was suggested to place my question on the proper board Pre-CBS. I have an appraisal from Gruhan in Nashville but it dates back to 2001. I can post some pics but don't know how to yet. Take care, dick
