Special arrangements

It's doom Tuesday & time well spent with the Epiphone SG Special. Yes, I'm not averse to the Epiphone brand name, just that not many appeal to me. 

As you can see there, this guitar came default with B500K pots (as indicated); all four of them. This is perhaps why they sound a little restrained when it comes to clarity. To me, single coil pickups go well with 250K pots & the P90 is a single coil pickup. 

Brought this down to Beez's today to have A250K pots in there. As the default pots were CTS ones, I made it a point to get CTS replacement pots as well. Also, the capacitors are a pair of HOSCO .047uf ones, unlike the .22uf that came with the B500K pots. CTS pots are available at TYMC, Hosco capacitors are available at Davis GMC.

While I'm at it, a pair of Wilkinson P90s are the new pickups here. These are easily available through Amazon & they are very affordable.

A fresh set of Darcos 10s for today's doom adventure - available at City Music. 

TY @ Laz

Just a heads up - you can now purchase TYMC products at Lazada. Why is this a big deal? You know how it is with these online shopping thing, yes? There will be discount vouchers offered periodically so it's like a sale of sorts.

Resumption

Finally, that news that we've been waiting for - the remaining commercial entities (so called non-essentials), resume business this Friday, 19th June, under Phase II of the Covid-19 recovery process. Davis GMC & TY Music have confirmed their business resumption & I believe many others would follow suit, they are just waiting to announce at the right time. 

However folks, please be patient if you have to wait for your turn to enter the store, limitations still apply, same goes for safety measures (temperature taking/ QR code scanning/ etc.). These are not laid down by the stores, the authorities would penalize businesses if they failed to observe safety guidelines. If you think you 1) Have no patience for all this extra waiting/ precautions 2) Are a sovereign & excluded from established regulations, please stay home & continue your online shopping pleasure.
