Bobinsky's apartment features the mouse circus tent, a box of popcorn, and a cotton candy cannon...that shoots!
Yall know my man B-Rose from the Shockspital? Well he is one of the literally handful of people riding one of our proto's, and here are some pictures of his set up.
The house opens up like a dollhouse with access to the rooms and play features. The interior stairs lift up and out of the way to give more room to place figures. There's a floating wall connected to the living room that shows the little door here.
Here are photos of my custom Keef Telecaster build, from many years ago.
The neck pup is a Gibson Burstbucker One humbucker; the bridge pup is a Don Mare pedal steel wind single coil. It screams. The middle position is totally killer.
Swamp ash body with Gibson red to gloss black sunburst, painted by me with rattle can lacquer. Came out pretty good! All the wear and tear is 100 percent legit.
Warmoth Strat neck, compound radius, on a third-party Ash body; jumbo frets. Callaham "vintage" tuners, vintage wiring harness, hand-carved bone nut, brass and aluminum compensated bridge saddles (I think they're Glendale; I forget). Glendale bridge plate. All the screws are standard blade, vintage 50s style. This guitar will be in my casket when I'm buried, I will never sell or give it away. It's not a 100 percent correct reproduction of Keith's guitar (I didn't mount the neck humbucker upside down), but sound-wise, it's pretty damn close.
I play it through a Vox AC4C1-12, with the "bright-cap mod." For effects, I stick to some pretty basic stuff: my MXR Dyna Comp compressor (sometimes), a EHX Soul Food overdrive, a Tone City "Tape Machine" delay pedal, and a very cheap Aroma "Ocean Verb" reverb pedal. I usually don't use them all at the same time. I also have a Joyo tremolo pedal, which sounds just like the tremolo on my old Ampeg Reverberocket. One of the great cheap pedals out there ...
A new, custom fabricated Tommasini 'Tecno' road bike, brought to me for a wheelbuild and
complete assembly. Most of the parts were supplied by the client.
When this bike was finished even I was flabbergasted by how beautiful it was.

My 17th Lowlands Festival and probably not my last. Three days and nights I roamed around on the huge fields and did the night reports for VPRO's 3voor12.

Does what it says on the tin.. tendency of the rear wheel to slip in the mounts though and the single speed is tatty and rattling.. that will change!

Vintage, original Masi 3V Volumetrica road.
The Masi 3V Volumetrica, introduced in 1981, and developed and produced by Alberto Masi during the early 1980's was way ahead of its time with innovative internal lugs and oversized steel tubing. This type of construction made a huge impact on modern framebuilding; the use of oversized tubing on road bike frames is commonplace today.
FINISHED ! And lookin cool ! Parts back from poweder coating and she's going to the dyno for jetting next ....
I get upset when I see how much a computer shop or Geek Squad charges for RAM upgrades. RAM is so easy to install. Make sure you insert it the right way (it's idiotproof) and push down until the module locks in place.
