For the seven string version, I think it's advised to have the bar facing the neck. The seven string version is slightly differently wound, and so imitates the six string version when the bar is against the bridge. If you do put the seven string version with the bar against the bridge, it may...
Have you tried lowering the pickup height? This should reduce the bass and will lower the output of the pickup.
I'm always slightly skeptical of situations where you need to add more complexity to make a guitar sound good. Arguably, if you strip out all the electronics and wire the bridge...
If you buy a TS-7, you can swap out a resistor to supposedly make it into the same circuit as an TS-808. I did this mod and it was super easy. I *think* it sounded better but didn't do a direct comparison to my Maxon. Either way, they're built like tanks and will provide what you want at a...
Austin is an awesome city. If you like BBQ, totally go to Frank's BBQ. If you can, go on a weekday as it's hella busy on weekends (tbh it's hella busy always).
I did it with the 6505+ 112. Making the head was relatively straightforward as it's pretty much just a frame. Definitely made it a lot more portable.
I also got halfway through making a 1x12 cab for the speaker. This is considerably more difficult as everything you do can effect the tone...
The IRT 60W has a Wattage control, which really helps at all volumes. I have one and the cleans and crunch are very good for what is labelled a high gain amp.
+1 to this :yesway:
Take a while to read through the different pages - all of it is really interesting stuff. It's also to relevant to guitars outside of Ibanez!
A lot of the packs of strings that are produced seemingly have random gauges in them - often they are not very balanced.
I would play some guitars and note down the pitch/scale length/gauge of string that feel right. You can then work out the tension and use that to work out gauges for the...
Arguably you are pushing less air with fewer speakers, but I'm not sure that will make a difference. It does sound like you like your current cab, so why bother getting a new cab which you may not like as much? :)
EDIT: Also, I think the differences between cab sizes will come at greater...
I pretty much go by whatever is said on Ibanez Rules (it's a really useful source for all electric guitars):
IBANEZ RULES!! tech - setup
I don't think it's necessary to slacken the strings when making minor action changes; the actually energy involved is minor so won't grind the edges much...
You can do some exercises where the weaker arm has to pull as much weight. For example, using a barbell means that the dominant arm can potentially put more effort in. Using dumbells means that both arms have to push the same amount of weight.
I'm thinking of getting my first tattoo soon, but I'm kinda stuck for inspiration or where to start. Can any of you give any advice on where I can get ideas for what I want? I understand that it's something you don't want to rush into and want to think about a lot.
I'm looking to start including some circuit training to improve my cardio, as well as get a bit of endurance training. I'm currently doing strength training of push/pull/legs/shoulders+abs and so I'd fit in circuit training somewhere.
Does anyone have any good full-body circuits or any...
^Can you take this to pm please? Steroids are a massive can of worms and it would be nice to keep this thread away from the often circular discussions IMHO. Thanks
As many have said, stick a boost in front. A Tubescreamer straight into a 6534 with nothing else will definitely be tight. Don't put too much gain on, keep the gain on 0 and volume on max on the TS, and you should be great..
