    My WG587 showed up a day early too! Pics & initial review inside

    Ah, OK. This is my first guitar with the tune-o-matic style bridge.

    My WG587 showed up a day early too! Pics & initial review inside

    That threw me for a loop at first, I adjusted the bridge way too close to the body initially. Is this a common thing with sevens? I have not seen this in any of my other guitars. The pickups sit parallel with the body, but not the strings; I assume that affects sound, but to what degree? Seems...

    Anyone here tune in fifths? (OR anything else really wierd/different)

    Well, I don't think I'll be a very good source for comparison; I've owned my first seven string for a day now. :) I can tell you that I really enjoy the AEAEAE tuning, & that at this moment, I'm more comfortable with it than with the seven string, but again, I'm brand new to sevens. I like the...

    That does look much bettah, but I won't be removing wood any time soon. Changing pickups is the extent of modding that I'm comfortable with. :)

    Anyone here tune in fifths? (OR anything else really wierd/different)

    I dropped my tuning down further on my 6 today, now it's AEAEAE. I received my new 7 today, & tuned it to drop A. Then something dawned on me... AEAEAE AEADGBE :hbang: :hbang: :shred:

    My WG587 showed up a day early too! Pics & initial review inside

    Initial impression out of the box: wax residue on switch screws & back plate, bridge about 3 feet off of the body, dab of glue visible on nut, neck pup cranked down so tight I thought it might be broken. Sizable amount of orange peel visible in spots, depending on the lighting angle. Grover...

    News at 11: CGord re-records old clip with bulb tone patch,

    Thanks for commenting! This was pretty much done on a whim; I was surprised by the sound of the neck pup using this tone, so I wanted to record something & experiment, but I have not written anything new lately. A lack of clarity might be my sloppy playing. I normally cut two tracks & pan...

    News at 11: CGord re-records old clip with bulb tone patch,

    bulb immediately claims tone isn't his. :lol: Scatterbrain Redux Anyway, I was screwing around with this patch, & I discovered I could play riffs on my neck pup with it (C-1 Hellraiser, EMG 85), so I grabbed an older clip of mine & tore through it for shits & giggles. I love the sound of...

    Washburn WG587 porn

    I would say not until tomorrow, because you're a day behind those of us who ordered Friday. Here are a couple of Marko's metallic red: Now, what interests me are the zebra pups...Marko, have they been swapped? Everything else I've seen shows all black. The pics are from 2003, were...

    Pickup advice needed for Passive 7 pickups, WG587.

    I just got off the phone w/Washburn, & the rep said they could be either, nothing about early & late models. He asked for a serial number initially, which I do not have. I'll call them again once I have the guitar & see if they can get me any more specific info. I'm OK with basswood, though I...

    One of the Best SNL live band performances ever

    That was a great performance. They were the real deal, however, I don't wanna hear "18 & Life" again for the rest of mine. Is it me, or does Sebastian look about 3 feet taller than everybody else?

    Which Recording Software do you use?

    I use the Line6 Rifftracker setup; it's the L6 Guitar Port + RiffWorks recording software from Sonoma Wire Works. Great for a recording n00b like myself.

    Pickup advice needed for Passive 7 pickups, WG587.

    So you're using SD & DiMarzio in the same guitar? Air Norton in the neck? This thing is alder, no idea what will work in it. I have SD's in two basswood six string guitars, a Dimebucker in one & an SH-6 Distortion in the other. My C1 Hellraiser has EMG's & is mahogany. This will be my first...

    Heavy/big guitar tones?

    So four tracks total? I've been using two, mainly because I'm lazy. ...And sloppy. :D Are you changing amp/cab/mic models, or just getting the difference out of the four individual performances? Something I've done a few times now is to duplicate a track, turn it down, & pan it to the...
