Complete Noob

[InjunRAIV]

Noob on the board, noob in the electronics department.

But I've been a player for almost 40 years. I have a 100% stock 97 LP Custom that I might be 'tweaking' soon. Living in NE PA and 'between jobs' right now, so soon might be a bit of a stretch.

I'm a computer geek but never got into the electronic side of anything. But I have a good friend who manufactures pickups and a part time gig at his shop doing piecework. He's great about sharing his knowledge, but I'm the type to want to know everything. I have a steep learning curve, but I look forward to learning from all of you!

Welcome!
I'm a noob too.
My weapons are a 1974 LP Deluxe, 1999 Strat, 1990 P-bass, 2004 Ovation, and a home made guitar that looks like an M-16.
My wife has a 70's vintage Strat (PINK!), a hand made spainish, year unknown, and an Ovation just like mine.
Power is from 60's era Deluxe reverb, 70's era Studio bass, and 3 home made amps from 30 to 150 watts.
Both Fender amps have been modified. The bass amp (200 watt, all tube) has improved high frequency response and reverb. When I play my Les Paul through it, the sound is just wonderful.
