Eventually, Fly Clone will focus on identifying the best ways to accommodate multiple Flys by dormer-ing out your upstairs!

Me to my wife: “Ken produced 30,000 guitars between 1993 and 2003”
My wife: “and those are all upstairs, right?”

Hey InsideInfo , There is some data known, but it’s largely about total guitars sold. I do have some old records about production, but, unfortunately, nothing complete, and nothing that notes specific colors for a large span of time. Ken Parker estimates 30,000 guitars came out of Wilmington, which,...

Glad this is working out, no doz ! Thanks for these photos! I’ll let others chime in, but my spidey sense tells me that the preamp is, in fact, the problem, and then if you switch to, for example a Fishman power shape, you’ll be in good shape! I’m not an expert with piece of electric transducers, bu...

Happy to help, my friend! Stay safe as well!!

Hi no doz , and welcome! It sounds like something is wrong with the Fishman NiteMix pre-amp inside of the guitar. If you look inside, you’ll see that the piezo elements under the saddles connect to a summing board under the bridge and then the signal connects to the preamp. It’s less likely that the...

https://www.bestbassgear.com/bartolini-black-plastic-concentric-stacked-knob-set.htm The bottom part is not the same as the one on our Flys, but, together, I think they’re spot on. This particular link seems to have those knobs backordered, but I’ve put in an order right now regardless, and I’ll co...

Helpful and insightful as usual! Thanks, @jb63!

Hmmm...I thought I had finally extinguished my interest in a Mojo Singlcut, but this thread has me eyeing what’s out there!

Am I correct in thinking this is a poor mans Mojo? Meaning a poor man's "Mojo Singlecut"? I'm not very familiar with these models, but this looks like the Mojo Singlecut without all of the composite material treatments. I seem to recall jb63 saying a while back that these were pretty rock...

Terrific, @7 Dying Trees; welcome! Congrats on your Fly!

I believe Mike G. may have some new springs coming in made to the same specs they were using during the USM days, so I’d keep an on his inventory as well if that’s of interest.

Beautiful Artist! Good luck with the sale!!

Terrific-looking Guitar, Notes! Congrats on closing the first of many decades to come with this beautiful instrument!

Don’t forget the Fishman Powerblend pedal, a much larger version with a built in volume pedal for the piezo, xlr and 1/4” output for the piezo plus a few more features. I sold off my Nitemix when I got a Powerblend. That’s great, DavidE ! I didn’t know about the Powerblend pedal! Looks like it does...

That is fantastic!! Did it belong to this same person?

Happy to help, my friend! I’m glad that is starting to have a positive twist!!

Could have been a slide player. Maybe ask the previous owner (if that’s who sold it to you)?

there is a slow cycling sound on like when you tune a string to another when its slightly out of phase. It's as if there's a slight tremolo effect that that becomes more pronounced the higher up on a string you play. It happens without being plugged in. WTF?? That could be a weird resonance caused ...

If there’s no 9volt cavity on the back of that NiteFly, it’s like an NFVM1 or 2, which had a passive piezo system. There’s a thread here with some options.

No problem! A Parker can be plek’d, but a Fly and NiteFly is much less likely to need fretwork because the fretwire is made from actual shards of Wolverine’s claws, so it’s super tough and not likely to wear out. The process of getting the frets on the composite fretboard is insanely complicated and...
