The Aria looks like a pretty good repro, though there's something about this pic that makes it seem like the controls/trem is like tilted or something in a slightly off way.

Anyone else see it?

Well, I mean it's obvious that the bridge is actually straight in relation to the neck, I just mean the body seems to be made to be slightly more tilted than usual.

do you need pedalboard pics or just MBM pedals alone? i can go pick up my green-mind muff and trystie drive after work tomorrow. i left them at rehearsal place last week.

man, most of the dirt sounds in my band's new album are either the green-mind muff alone, or various fuzzes into green-mind muff, i'm not kidding.

Nah they can be photographed with other pedals, it's just nice to see them in use.

I checked out your album and it sounds immense - really glad the pedals I made you are getting used!

i busted the truss rod nut and it's too loose now. it's straight at the moment but i guess there will be some problems in several months.

(where can i find an affordable mustang neck replacement? warmoth?)

ah, man, that sucks. i think you can get the truss rod replaced, but i'm not sure if there would be any cost savings. warmoth and allparts are decent sources for replacement necks.

get a hold of the company you bought it from, you;ve had it less then a month, there could be some sort of warranty on the thing, though is tough to say with online sales

are you saying you have only stripped the nut? it sounded like you were saying you had broken it off. that stewmac gripper thing only helps if you've stripped it.
