Neutriks

Midweek... time flies. Just returned home from my out-&-about episode. I'm trying to condition my legs which are evidently getting weaker so a leisurely walk was the order of the day. This is a chemo side effect, the drugs are slowly wasting my joints, knees are the hardest hit followed by the shoulders. The recent diagnostics showed a drop in mobility performance. I thought of doing light running to perhaps re-invigorate the legs but at the rate things are going - no. Skin - that's another story for another episode. 

Anyway, I managed to walk around Sim Lim Tower as well & got myself Neutrik plugs. I need more angled plugs to supplement my SGs as these sport a top-mount input jack. Purchasing new cables is out of the question. The plan here is to send my cables to Beez for him to replace one straight plug with a right angled / L plug. This way, I still get to keep what I currently own. Yes, Beez does plug replacement / re-soldering. If you purchased a custom length instrument cable & wish to have your preferred brand of plugs installed, Beez can handle this.

L

 

Weekend is gear time for many of us, myself included. Managed to re-string this one. Strings were all rusty; to think that I gave it a good wipe-down before returning it to the case. Hmm...

One of the main dislikes about SGs is the fact that the input jack is front access. I invest in L-plugs for this reason, it's an easy solution. The regular straight plug work great but it juts out like a sore thumb & tends to get in the way for those of us who frequent the control knobs despite being out of the way by design. 

Spent about an hour with this one this morning. I couldn't bring myself to play anything nice or hard rock-ish, it's all out aggression through & through. The SG an easy instrument to play but the neck dive might be too much for many of us.
