I thought that the whole point of "bedroom amps" is that you can play without being evicted from the apartment or banished to live in the dog house.

How low do you want to go? I find my 1W Marshall DSL1 to be a little loud for my apartment bedroom use - in the Low (0.1W ?) setting. It still needs to be turned up a little to sound right. For LOW volume I like best a preamp pedal, with speaker emulation, plugged into some computer speakers...

It isn't always that simple. I have an unusual and lovely partscaster, bought from a guy who was moving on much gear because arthritic hands no longer let him play much.

What about balance, when you put on a neck that is also a bit on the heavy side?

Thr neck reminds me of the otherwise quite different Ibanez Mucisian (MC) series from late 70s and early 80s. Some other Japanese brand had those 5 piece necks too.

I do have a couple of acoustics: A smallish jumbo Landola that I've had since '80s and a Breedlove in OM size

I have. Somebody had a thread like this and I got curious. Ash body Hardtail Stratocaster and telestrat partscaster. I forget the exact weights but, converted to US measurements, they were in the 8 pound ballpark.

A year ago, we still had a cat.... She was deaf, so couldn't hear us. She meowed pretty loud at times. And our puppy started responding by howling.

But how much have you spent keeping it running and looking good?

You can still race slot cars if you want to.

I've only ever owned two cars. Both Audis. The first one was pretty small and practical. The current one is also small but a bit cooler.

Huh? 5 is also in the heel. Just a little more out of the way and positioned so that it is even less likely for the strap to slip off it.

Are there any good schools for luthiers anywhere near? (No, I'm not going to go, but there might be suitable candidates there)

Teenager.... Any signs of the "monster age"? I've seen that, with a couple of dogs of my own. Sometimes any unexpected thing can cause serious apprehension or even fear. Like: "There was no bicycle parked there yesterday. It must be a horrible monster. I ain't going near it."

It reminds me of a guitar built by a local guy. I'm pretty sure I have a pic....

5 I just have one acoustic with a button, and that is where it is. It doesn't get in the way of anything during playing or transportation, and it is a strong location.

^ That is a little unconventional.

I thought there already was a hardtail thread. Oh well. Any chance to post my.... 1983 Stratocaster and telestrat partscaster

I used to have a maths teacher who combed some longer hair over his bald spot. Dont do that. My hair is still pretty thick, and I'm closer to 60 than 50. My late father had pretty thick hair to the end. Just in case, I have considered two options: shave it or at least cut it very short, or just...

No way to tell, for certain, by the pics. Needs documentation of the pedigree, to be sure.

I'm divided: I see victory of sorts, and I see three men who died quickly.

Congratulations! and.... Your budget for guitars has a little more stretch than mine :D

Did I understand correctly: you used to have 9s and have now gone for 11s? In that case, a tight nut slot is the first suspect.

I just have the little DSL1.... but the gainy channel gets to "slight crunch" when you back it down a bit, and maybe turn down the guitar a bit too. I live in an apartment, so haven't tried what happens if I turn the clean channel up....

^ It does look like a Fender Paramount series dreadnought. It might not be a current production model.
