    NGD: Baritone Telecaster content!

    Happy NGD to me! I just got my custom LSL Adam Christianson (Architects) signature baribone, and I'm floored with how incredible fo an instrument it is! The only other baritone I have is a Schecter c8 ATX which is a 26.5" scale, while the tele comes in at 27.5" - yet feels so comfortable when...

    Guitar pedals OR Pre-amps for bass

    Hey everyone I'm mainly a guitar player, but have always fiddled with bass - and blending bass with guitar pre-amp or distortion pedals. I've recently gotten ahold of a Revv G3 and couldn't help but try it with my bass. To say the least this pedal rules and it'll be on my pedalboard rig very...

    Treble strings sitting higher than Bass strings

    Hey everyone, I'm working on a guitar that is giving me a bit of trouble. The treble strings sit higher than the bass strings (even with the action lowered all the way down on the treble side, and noticeably higher on the bass side). So I'm wondering what it could be; string gauge (too much...

    Analog? Digital? Both?

    Hey forum friends. I'm looking to pull the trigger on some new rig additions in the near future, and would love some input. My current rig is a Mark V, Boogie 4x12 (Traditional), with a tuner, SD 805 OD, wah, delay, and a noise gate. I'm looking to either add more analog effects (compressor...

    Applying for a Position in a Band

    Hey all, this thought keeps coming up to me of out-letting myself more and expanding my horizons. I'm starting up a YouTube account again and will be making it decently active. The main thing is, that how do others go about 'applying' for bands that aren't in their area, and are more so...

    Rack Effects Processors

    Hey SSO, I've come to the conclusion that's I'll be going midi in the near future. Currently I'm running a Mark V into a Stiletto 4x12, with a few stompboxes. Financially, it makes more sense for me to go this route because of the price of a GCX/GCP. Which leaves me limited to the pedals I have...

    Micro Business in Fixing Guitars

    Hey everyone. Currently I've been setting up guitars for friends and other people in my local music scene, and I've been thinking of actually making it into a little business. I have a name, and contact info all figured out. Although, I'm not sure what to charge? Do I set a flat rate that...

    Jackson B8 (Deluxe/MG) vs Carvin DC800

    Hey guys, 'n gals, I'm stuck in a dilemma at the moment. I'm currently looking to pickup and upgrade to a new 8 string in the future (possibly summer time), and as much as I would like a full blown custom from Bowes or Black Water, I simply do not want to wait more than a year for my guitar to...

    BKP Nailbombs. Are they for me?

    Hey guys 'n gals. I'm looking to replace the pups in my Washburn Dime 333 (Alder body, Maple neck, Rosewood board), and I was recommended by BKP and my friend who deals BKPs in Winnipeg, to go with a NB in the bridge and a Coldsweat in the neck. This guitar will be running through a Mark V into...

    The 'To Do' List for Scales

    Hey guys, I've been playing guitar for roughly 7 years and have been studying classical guitar for roughly 3 years now. I can fly through scales on the fret board in multiple combinations of finger picking and with a pick. The main problem is that I find myself limited to my solos. I know all of...

    House of Leaves

    How many of us on here have read this piece? I read it a few years ago and it was probably the best novel I dove into! Confusing, interactive, gripping, and heartwarming are some words that come to mind when trying to describe this one. I'd love to hear other people's reviews and opinions on...

    Tone knob: Sucking the signal?

    Hey guys, I'm on the verge of disconnecting my tone knob on a few of my guitars. Mainly because I don't use them in the styles I'm playing on the selected guitars. I've done some research and I've heard that "the tone knob sucks your signal, which makes you have a colder signal'. Is this true...

    Mesa Bottle Rocket

    Hey guys, a Mesa Bottle Rocket V1 popped up in my area for $115 in decent condition and I'm tempted to pick it up. What's everyone's thoughts on these pedals? I'd probably use it as extra flavor in terms of OD and my current OD pedal (TS7). Not really looking to replace since this is just a...

    Truss rod removal

    Hey guys, the title is pretty self explanatory. I bought a guitar used a little while ago and I never checked under the truss rod cover (stupid me) to make sure everything was ok there. I go to check it, and I find my truss rod is stripped... yeah... It's on a Washburn Dime 333. From how things...

    NDD (Belated) Christmas Orange Content

    Well, I woke up on Christmas to an unreal surprise. A basically brand new Gretsch Renown Maple in Gold Inca Sparkle! The sizes are as followed; 6.5X14" snare drum, 8x10" and 9x12" toms, 12x14" and 16x16" floor toms and, 20x22". The kit is absolutely stunning, in looks and tonality. The...

    Locking tuners for a Jackson with a reverse headstock

    Hey 7 string, I'm in a dilemma with my guitar. I'm replacing the tuners on my Jackson Dinky JS30, which has a reverse headstock, and I've been through two sets of tuners (Planet Waves auto lock/trim, and a set of Schallers). Both tuners' screw holes don't line up to the pilot holes on the...

    Maple or Birch?

    Hey guys, I'm new to this side of 7string. I'm looking to pick up a drum kit at some point. Nothing overly expensive, preferably under $1000. Although I'm on the fence if I should go for a maple or a birch kit. I've read about the kits I have in mind, and the tonal characteristics of each...

    Pickup Comparison

    Hey guys, I just had this thought pop into my head and thought some people over here could help me out. I'm wondering how Cravin's A80's compare to some of the the leaders in 8 string pups (Duncan, EMG, BKP, Ludgren, Lace...). I hear mixed reviews. People either get their DC800 and swap the...
