    Indian politics, anyone?

    Mods, feel free to shut this down if there is already a thread or if things get too rowdy. Anyway, Modi's a fascist, the bastards not gonna go this time: we're looking at a coalition NDA government at best, and a brute majority bjp government at worst but unlikely. Thoughts?

    54 gauge for a low B, am I finally losing it...

    ....or am I just growing old IDK man I've been having RIDICULOUS fun going from a 60 to 54 on low B. It's much tighter, but somehow chunkier? Like the bass weight is there but the sub-bass woofiness is gone. And its SO much easier to play, this is probably just me being "I'm old now and I'm...

    So...uh, Chapman of all people has a plugin now

    Okay then. Isn't the market far too saturated for more plugins now? I'll admit though, native support for the open source NAM project is a surprising and honestly great feature. Not earth shaking in itself but hopefully starts a trend in open source music software projects being embraced...

    RAT style distortion with a HIGH pass filter instead of a low pass?

    I've been on the hunt for one of these, but my research seems to indicate that these are limited to DIY projects but no commercial pedals (or even b00teek, I'm happy to pay a premium if necessary). Anyone got ideas?

    EMG nerds, talk to me about HSS options!

    Lookin at you @lewis :lol: :lol: :lol: So I'm exploring EMG again. I find that for some high noise environments EMG's are really the single best option out there: dead silent, lots of choice, extended battery life compared to Fishman or Blackouts, and a history of being straight up industry...

    Help me decide between an Edwards Strat and an FGN Superstrat.

    So a while ago I posted a thread about wanting a proper dad guitar. I have a soft spot for MIJ strat copies. I have now found two good options. They're both available for roughly the same price of abnout 950 bucks. FGN Superstrat is HSS, compound radius 12"-14", medium frets, modern style trem...

    Any SFF PC enthusiasts here?

    Sound off! What's your current build/spec? Favorite case to build in? How much power would you be willing to trade away to cram it all into a tiny chassis? I'm currently in the process of a case swap for my fully air cooled i9-11900/3070Ti FE setup from my old Node 202 to something custom...

    So...I needs me a proper dad guitar

    Found myself playing a LOT of stratty stuff lately. Big fat neck single coil, low gain, thumb wrapped over the fretboard, HEAVY right hand instead of the more clinical and precise metal picking stuff. Only issue: I cannot stand the rounder fretboards of strats. Most strats (at least the well...

    Ibanez Locking Trem flutter setup (conflicting info found online, need help)

    Hello! I have an RG1527 in my hands, and it is my first serious attempt at learning the Floyd Rose style system, both musically and tech/setup-wise. I've looked for this online a bunch, but I seem to find some conflicting information. Help a Floyd Rose noob out? Problem statement: trem feels...

    Talk to me about ACCESSIBLE Hardcore

    So I've been on a bit of a Scribe trip for a bit now. They're a hardcore/groove band from India with a MEGA dancey vibe and heavy as balls riffs: There's a chorus/breakdown groove at 0:54 that just makes me wanna go fucking ballistic. Recommend some music kinda in this vein, please. Heavy...

    Hot-as-sh*t Duncan/DiMarzio 7 string humbuckers

    Heyo. If you've had experience with (preferably all of them): Distortion Nazgul Black Winter Invader X2N D-Activator 7 Tone Zone 7 (as a baseline reference) Could you talk to me about the relative outputs of each of these pickups? Particularly the Nazgul and D-Activator: where do they sit...

    Grounding the baseplate of a humbucker?

    I'm seeing these pickups with a wire screwed onto the baseplate and hanging loose. Looks like a grounding wire? I've never seen this before, can someone shed some light on this? When should you ground a humbucker baseplate, and when shouldn't you?

    My "beginner" story: the incident that kicked my ass and forced me to learn how to solder/setup my own instruments.

    So since this is the Beginners section I thought I'd post this here. Probably something that happens a lot to people starting out so I thought I'd share. So I got this really fucking nice guitar with actives in it, and I had already bought a set of passive pickups to put into it. So I was like...

    NPD: Elysian Trident II (Goliath variant) set. Holy shit, what the hell?!

    First off, Adam is a madman. I apparently beat the queue super hard when he reopened, so there was a total of ONE WEEK between placing the order and finding the pickups in my mailbox. Jesus this man works *fast*. Sp these pickups went into my #1. It's an Ibanez RG652FX. I wired them up...

    NPD: Elysian Modern (Trident I) 7 string set

    PHEW. Fucking hell, it sucks so hard to be time poor. Goddamn pickups were delivered a month ago, got them for like 185 shipped. FINALLY. They're in. Sorry about crappy pic, I am NOT a photography guy by any means. When I first plugged this in and started playing, there was barely any...

    FYI: DiMarzio website COMPLETELY changed their Bass/Middle/Treble tone charts

    Not that they necessarily mean a whole lot, just thought you guys might want to know. They are doing Bass/Low Mids/Upper Mids/Treble now. And they seem to be SERIOUSLY underreporting the treble response of a few pickups like the Evolution...

    7 string aftermarket pickup string spacing

    Are all aftermarket pickups made with the same spacing? Dimarzio 7 string pickups have 61.2mm spacing, Duncan does not seem to specify. I'm ooking at buying a second hand Elysian set, the seller hasn't noted the string spacing and (for some strange reason) is unable to measure it out for me. My...

    Wtf is this weird asymmetrical clipping going on here?!

    So I am making a scratch track for a song that I wrote, and I'm utterly perplexed by the asymmetrical clipping happening here: the peaks seem to be getting cut off WAY more than the troughs. I double and triple checked my meters, none of them EVER went into the red. And even if they did why...

    NGD: Ibanez RG1527 Prestige in Royal Blue (and a HMMMM... moment)

    So A little while ago I posted this thread asking for your opinions on locking trems and it kinda...blew up :lol: So I went and done did the thing. This guy came in this morning: There are some dings here and there on the body (expected for a guitar from 2008). Came set up pretty nicely...
