Hi Ranier! Fancy seeing you here!! Do you still have your Jeff Waters model Flying V?


As for the 60s Framus semi-hollow. I like everything about it except for the veg-o-matic switches, that must be used to switch on and off phasing and/or capacitors (for addtional treble cut). Also, I find it hard to believe that the neck pickup has that disparate of an output from the bridge pickup. Somebody must have screwed up taking DC resistance measurements on it. I've never heard of a single coil being that overwound.

Hi Ellen!

Would I ever part with it? NOOOOO

Maybe there are problems with the wiring or the pickup itself on that guitar? It's 50 years old.

Hi there

I keep getting logged out every few minutes. Wondering if it has to do with the FB account mod?

it might be from facebook. You specified a password when you registered? Maybe unlink your forum account from facebook and then log back in manually.

IIRC I didn't have to set a password here since authentication is all done through FB. If I'm logged in there I only have to click Connect here and I'm in logged in.

I will check out the options.

OK, so I went to my settings and used "Change Password" and set one. Then I logged out of here, and out of Facebook and then tried logging in here with my username and the new password. It worked.

Cool!


All of this "interconnectedness" can be a real PITA sometimes

That's often how I feel about my family...

It's convenient for the user, but it can cause a lot of trouble.

yeah. I don't have a problem with the Facebook connect on my own forum, but it never stays logged in on the vBulletin.com forums for me.

Single Sign-On is a blessing and a curse. What if one day I decide to delete to my FB account? I won't be able to log into the sites I've linked it with anymore.
What if it gets hacked? Those hackers will have access to all of my accounts?
