Doing Things Wrong

An Oldie but a Goodie

Hurrian Hymn No. 6

The oldest known melody - circa 1400 B.C. That drone note starts to drill into your head after a while.

Drummers had to make a living back then too

This is the latest Ric project. I tried to use a Gibson-style nut, but it just can't cope with the Rickenbacker geometry. If you make the string slots deep enough to keep the strings from jumping out sideways, you end up over-cutting them, even with the 1.5mm shim I already installed because I was expecting that.
