    On-pedalboard poweramps

    You touch on something here that is fundamental to the physics of power amps, namely that the ability to handle big transients cleanly requires fast power on tap. This really only comes with a big-assed PSU with high capacity/slew rate capacitors. Then, when you apply that power, you need to be...

    Is spaghetti better with or without meatballs?

    Is it for us? Hey thank you, that's very generous for a first post! 😁 Seriously, it depends. If you're US-based, it's probably expected. But in Italy, you could serve with pesto and could even get away with butter and parmesan. It's a cultural thing. Assuming you're stateside, if you haven't...

    Ibanez MM1 turning issues: Is my bone nut cut properly?

    Sure, a soft (i.e. 2B or better) pencil will work. I just find the little bottle of graphite lube more convenient, easy to use, less messy, more precise and reliable. 😁

    Ibanez MM1 turning issues: Is my bone nut cut properly?

    Amazon, Brownells...there's a bunch of different OTC products aimed at the locksmith and gun owner communities. I have a few differents types, but they're cheap so easy to try a few different types to see what works for you. Just use really sparingly. Oh yeah, and while you do have locking...

    Ibanez MM1 turning issues: Is my bone nut cut properly?

    Gotta lube yer nuts! On a serious note, maybe some gentle smoothing of the slots with 600-1000 grade wet-n-dry and some graphite lube will help. As I understand it, the MM1 has a more conventional two-point non-locking trem, so IMHO it will never be as fully secure as a full locking trem. If...

    An actual good pick

    I love V-picks and the guy who makes them. I got several, including an 8.3, several 4mms and a ton of his 2mms.

    Blue Steel by Dean Markley is no longer made of stainless steel

    Erm...sure, so Ultem's been around since the 80s, but has only been used in a pick as Ultex in the last ten years max. Maybe for a young whippersnapper like you ten years seems like "forever"...😁

    Blue Steel by Dean Markley is no longer made of stainless steel

    Must admit to being underwhelmed. I consider Dean Markley among those brands which insist on expensive gimmickry to distinguish themselves from other makers of wire. Gimme a set of std D'addario XLs any day. I'll use the money I save to buy more Dunlop Flow picks (which are a genuine...

    AI and it's effect on your music, your job and the future

    Well you better tell that to the USAF then. Their AI is flying a testbed F-16 fighter jet and beating Top Gun-level USAF instructors after having learned everything they had to teach, by inventing new new areial warfare tactics. The "safety pilot" in the test bed is there simply to intervene if...

    Advice on switching B.C. Rich Necks

    Plus one on that. Screw BC Rich, we have the same issue with so-called "licenced" Fender parts. Don't go for theory, assess the situation as it is: take precise measurements
