    "Not Worth its own thread" Thread

    Meh. 1. Almost nobody has Crowdstrike on their personal computer - it's a corporate solution (and it is unwise to use a work laptop for personal stuff for a ton of reasons) 2. If we take "Crowdstriked" as a new term for having an overnight software updates screw your pooch, then turning off...

    At last! My dream guitar! An obscene tribute to Jimmy Page...with a Kahler!

    Who is the best guitarist with the worst technique?

    Your post reminded me of the guitarist who takes this approach to its ultimate conclusion: Mike Oldfield. I'm not sure I can take over 40 minutes of Mike, but to see what I mean, check out the video below. He almost religiously keeps one finger per string on his right hand, including his pinky...

    On-pedalboard poweramps

    Well I guess that's my point. Not knocking your solution per se, as it may definitely fit some use cases, but in the solid state power amp world, you get what you pay for. Checking the spec shows it's 100w peak, not RMS. Also there are physical limits to the performance - especially in...

    Quick luthiery/manteinance questions not deserving a thread

    Sounds in the right ballpark, but cos I can't see the job, YMMV. I've done jobs where I've done as few as six coats of clear cos the wood/prep/priming/gods were all aligned. But again what's guided me is how it looks. Ten should be enough, but if you're willing to take some time, do so. Let it...

    On-pedalboard poweramps

    So you know it's 100w RMS (NOT peak) @ 4 ohms, or you're just guessing? I'm actually more annoyed at not noticing the brandname: Nobsound... 🤣😂

    On-pedalboard poweramps

    Just curious... Is that 100w really 2 x 50w peak, 2 x 20w RMS? Also couldn't see the size of the transformer...

    Quick luthiery/manteinance questions not deserving a thread

    There are so many variables, such as ambient temperature and humidity, formulation, etc. The rule of thumb I start by is two weeks, but generally I try to adopt the attitude that there's no short cut and that the longer you leave it, the better. It's not just curing either. Nitro gasses off for...

    Replacing Kahler with Floyd Rose on a neck through guitar.

    It depends how you define "better". Sure, the market had its say. To be clear, I think it was inevitable that FR would "win" (at least in terms of practicality). But that's not the point. For me, the Kahler is something unique and, to be fair, arguably superior. Even if, like me, you've worked...

    Replacing Kahler with Floyd Rose on a neck through guitar.

    But your smart assery is warranted sir. I agree with my learned gentleman: a Kahler is a wonderful experience. But its Betamax lost out to the VHSness of the Floyd. Before you replace it, live with it a while. Then decide.

    Do thich picks (1.5mm+) suck?

    I'm glad you enjoy it. No I don't have any financial interest in Jim Dunlop. 🙂 I haven't had one wear out yet, but the bulk of my gigging days are behind me, so YMMV.

    Replacing Kahler with Floyd Rose on a neck through guitar.

    There's a lot it depends on things you haven't told us. For example, is this guitar a carved or flattop, which will definitely affect feasibility. But taking a flattop S-type guitar, for example, so long as you get the right model Kahler, I think a decent solid body luthier should be sble to do...

    https://soundcertified.com/speaker-ohms-calculator/ Just make sure you stay well within the RMS and peak power performance of the speakers, unless you love the smell of burning coils.
