That's about as good as it gets.

Thanks for posting.

Damn - sorry to hear this (I missed the post back in July). RIP Martian/Roy; I learned a lot from his posts. :(

Been very busy lately so dont get on here much anymore so late to this news. Very saddened to read what started out as a birthday wish and took such an unfortunate turn.

When i joined here back in 2011 i think, it was the quintessential "shielding question" so i could hopefully revive my partscaster and get it fixed up and playing again.

Roy was one of the folks here that you could really trust his knowledge and he was always gracious to share it and never made anyone feel like an idiot for having sought that knowledge. Now its 2015 and though my POS Caster is no Masterbuilt strat, it looks, plays, and sounds better than I ever expected or hoped and I always think about the many folks that helped me get it where it is with their advice and knowledge when I pick it up to play it or even just glance at it. Roy was a huge influence on this guitar. From pickup/wiring advice to setup advice. Funny how a seemingly anonomous person on a forum can have such an impact on such a personal thing as your guitar. I think the last interaction I had with him was encouraging me to give a shot in modding a TBX tone pot i have for Bass cut. I haven't gotten a chance to do that but I think I need to now in honor of our good friend Martian.

I was never one to name my guitars but Roy has a nice ring to my partscaster now that i think about it.

RIP Martian, I never knew you personally but you will be missed. You were one of my favorite forum members. Condolences to your family and close friends.
