Pasty white DuoRobs in the Jazzer!

Belated props with the successful pickup switch and nice comparison video...The tones totally work, especially with them classic Doogian random parallel major triad tunes we all love.

I've shimmed the neck (TWICE!) and raised the bridge up in an attempt to improve the action and raise the strings away from the tall-o Strat pickup. As per usual with lower actions, some of the height adjustment screws were digging into my hand- both E's in particular were giving me jip. But they were no match for Mr Dremel and Mrs Clamp!

2 screws protected with small pieces of kitchen towel to prevent the clamp pressure fucking up the thread. Apply Dremel liberally.

Because filing the bottom of the screws slightly ruins the end of the thread, 3 of them went it faaairly stiffly. But in this age of Tiny Allen Screws That Work Their Way Loose During Play, this is a booon. A BOON,I TELLS YA!

BANG! And the pointy is gone! Hghly recommended more if you can't be dealing with an overall neck shim or punctured veins any more, just take it slow and be prepared for a little stiffness. Missus.

I'm considering buying radius gauges, this is getting serious.

Or just printing and laminating this handy thang:

yeah, do the second one. Radius Gauges are for TDPRIers.

Near enough.. and I'm sure the TDPRIers are missing out on the "mounted on a Weetos box" mojo arrows.
