    Still can`t see how to properly adjust the truss rod, any tips?

    Somewhere in the neighborhood of 0.010" distance in between the bottom of the string and the top of the 8th fret. But really it's up to taste and your specific guitar, and it's typically enough to know that you have some neck relief and the neck isn't just completely flat.

    "Not Worth its own thread" Thread

    Well, maybe what I stated is an ideal case but for the channels I've been watching that's usually the justification given for a second channel. Which definitely makes sense for some channels because you can see they'll have success in a given direction and then that particular type or format of...

    "Not Worth its own thread" Thread

    As far as I understand, if you are dropping F bombs in the first 30 seconds of a video the automatic content moderation will kill your video in the algorithm, but after that you can do whatever you want. So you'll see some YouTubers bleep out cuss words for exactly 30 seconds and then...

    "Not Worth its own thread" Thread

    The way the YouTube algorithm works, you have to be super focused on one type of content for one specific target audience for a channel to get any kind of traction in recommendations. So a lot of content creators end up feeling trapped into a niche with their main channel and start other...

    Have string manufactures not caught on to the extended range market?

    I know for a fact that Ibanez at least uses 10s out of the ones you listed using 9s. And when did I say anything about 84s?

    What brand of strings do you use and why?

    11-68 and 10.5-62 sets from Stringjoy for 7 string, and D'Addario XS 10-46 and 12-52 for 6 string.

    The Black Dahlia Murder continuing on, announces tribute show and future

    The new single is top form. The combo of Knight and Ellis on guitar is a hell of a pairing.

    Have string manufactures not caught on to the extended range market?

    Very few people are probably even consciously aware of string tension as a consideration. But 10s in E standard is pretty much an industry wide default in terms of what ships on new guitars and how guitars are set up, so the majority of guitar players are most likely playing around that amount...

    Spot leveling frets.

    I have one of those on the way so it's good to know that it works well.

    USB pedal interfaces vs "regular" interfaces

    I got a Mackie Big Knob so I could switch my monitors between my interface and Tonex, but since I never use the pedal I just use the other features on it instead. Still awesome to have a mute and volume control for the monitors. Yeah considering that I use the Tonex plugin all the time I...

    Have string manufactures not caught on to the extended range market?

    Glad it works for you, that's way too floppy for my tastes though. A 56 at A on a 25.5" is going to come in around 12 pounds of tension, compared to around 18-20 pounds on each string for a 6 string with a set of 10s in E standard. If you're playing in drop A, that's a pretty significant...

    USB pedal interfaces vs "regular" interfaces

    I have both an interface and a Tonex, and I play through the Tonex plugin using my interface 100% of the time when I'm playing through my computer. The interface is just a lot more convenient to use and has a lot more features including a mic preamp etc. The full size Tonex can be used as a...

    So one of my friends is a pretty good drummer who hasn't had a kit for a bit. He's going to buy an electronic kit and we're going to set it up here so we can jam and record. I currently play through studio monitors and I've been thinking about getting either a power amp and cab or some kind of...

    Blackmachine bevel question

    Dude, you're Mandela Effecting me right now. I also remember the chamfer as ending abruptly, essentially as in what you would see using a router with a chamfer bit to take off the corner along that "forearm contour" area of the body and stopping right at the centerline. Looking at pictures on...

    Tools for fretwork?

    Strictly speaking, you can crown frets with a triangle file that has a safe edge and don't need crowning files at all. In your situation I wouldn't worry too much about getting multiple crowning files, one file should be able to do both. But there are also multiple crowning files that have...

    Tools for fretwork?

    The fret kisser is for spot leveling. The idea is that it acts as a mechanical stop using the frets on either side of the one you're leveling so that you can get one tricky high fret perfectly level with the adjacent frets without having to do a full level. I ordered the Frtlzr version a few...

    Ibanez 2024 NAMM

    I've never seen one in person, that probably would dispel the illusion. I've pretty much only seen the stock photos, lol.

    Ibanez 2024 NAMM

    Alright alright. Carves and contours are totally different sure. But it's not like they're totally dissimilar either, particularly in the general outline. The whole bass side of the body is extremely similar and the treble side is offset ever so slightly as mentioned, and has some other fairly...
