Hi Guys and gals,

As there is no area on the forum for specifically introducing oneself I thought I'd choose the most popular area of the forum - sorry if this is bad form.

 :?
I have recently acquired a lovely Tokai Love Rock MIJ "Tak Matsumoto" LP Copy - fantastic maple top - both the PUp's were a bit thin and muddy - (although the neck / rhythm PU'P has considerably better output than the bridge).  I  have bought a pair of Crawlers from Tim and will be installing them imminently.

For interest have also just bought a Zoom G7.1ut multi-effects board. Anyone on here have an opinion on these, aside from how long it might take to master all the effects?

I'd like to say I have enjoyed reading the posts from the regs and hope I can make some contribution to this board,

Cheers,

AndrewB :) :lol:

Well I get the chance to welcome you and I am sure you will be chipping in and widening Sambo's horizons ( sorry Sambo-just kidding). It'll be interesting to hear your thoughts on the Crawlers. Geoff Whitehorn is a brilliant guitarist as you probably know and if they are good enough for him well need I say more.

Thanks for the kind welcome gents.

Here's a picture of the Tokai for anyone interested.

I'm just gathering up the bravery required to take my tools to it and get the Crawlers installed.

very nice Andy...

Sorry for the late reply But I dont check the forum as much as I'd like.

Did you buy it new or used?

If it was used what year is it?

Hi JP hate to admit it but found this beauty on Ebay :o

Made in 2004 but never raced or rallied. :D Actually never played in anger.

The trouble I'm having doing the upgrades is nothing short of frustrating.  Bought new pots and a new toggle switch and some Grover machines to compliment the BKP's upgrade, ended up having to ream out the holes in the body for the pots and just about to complete the re-wire.

Anyone have any opinions on upgrade machines as the grover ones I bought don't fit the holes in the headstock?  I'd like to stay with tulip greenies to keep it authentic but assume the OEM ones are Gotoh so would need something "better" whatever that means. :lol:   ps the Grovers I bought weren't tulip greenies and I now know their 135 series do look the part.

Hopefully will be able to get you some soundbites once the Crawlers are operational.

Cheers all,

Andrew :)
