    4 String Basses 35' neck?

    ESP has a couple of 35" scale 4-string basses. The F-series basses have 35" scales, and I have always thought that the F-4E (and its 5-string counterpart) looked cool. It is also under $600. The F series does not look remotely like a Tele bass, though (Image of F-4E). The comparatively less...

    Brands and Features That You Love That Nobody Else Does

    I might be using a technicality in saying GHS Progressives strings. I know that many people use and like GHS strings, but I do not often hear of other people who use Progressives. I do not like using nickel-wound strings after having heard and felt the difference.

    Does anyone else feel like they NEED different guitars for different types of music

    Sometimes when I am daydreaming about guitars, I consider getting one guitar for a certain genre or project, then another color of the same model to play a slightly different genre or project in a slightly different tuning. :shrug: Thankfully I do not have enough money to burn to buy that many...

    Study: Children Exposed To Religion Have Difficulty Distinguishing Fact From Fiction

    "I choose to believe the Bible because it's a reliable collection of historical documents written [largely] by eyewitnesses during the lifetime[s] of other eyewitnesses. They report supernatural events that took place in fulfillment of specific prophecies and claim that their writings are...

    Ken Ham calls to end space program because, "aliens are going to Hell anyway"

    Wrong conclusion. The point of the article is that he is giving a Biblical basis for why he expects no aliens to be found. That is the given premise of this section. Even if his logic or explanation is flawed, it dishonest to extrapolate a different conclusion than the one he is attempting to...

    Ken Ham calls to end space program because, "aliens are going to Hell anyway"

    This is a forum. I shared what I thought was a viewpoint relevant to the topic. Besides that, what else can you call it when someone's words are pulled out of context and misquoted for the sake of mocking them? Even if it is not bullying it is childish, or at the very least poor reporting...

    (In different contexts) PRS S2 Singlecut Jackson SLS3 Soloist Ibanez SZ320 Fender Telecaster Strange... This list closely resembles my guitar wish-list... :scratch: Now I am not sure whether I listen too much with my eyes or look too closely at the sounds. I generally like 6...

    Ken Ham calls to end space program because, "aliens are going to Hell anyway"

    I believe that God created the universe, so that makes me comparable to the scum of the earth who slaughter children without remorse. That makes sense. :yesway: Try reading the actual article. "We'll find a new earth within 20 years" | Around the World with Ken Ham He never said anything...

    Study: Children Exposed To Religion Have Difficulty Distinguishing Fact From Fiction

    Also included in a more broad definition is "strict adherence to any set of basic ideas or principles" which would in this case include the dogmas of the Christian religion. Evidence supports and contradicts, but generally it does not directly build or point to the ideas which it is supporting...

    Study: Children Exposed To Religion Have Difficulty Distinguishing Fact From Fiction

    I am a Christian. I could be described as a fundamentalist in the sense of the narrow definitions presented here. However, I am against anti-intellectualism, which is a problem often demonstrated in what is more broadly known as 'Fundamentalism.' As a part of my Christian worldview, since I...

    NPD - Diezel VH4 wannabe content

    I use a digital model of a VH4, so I know only slightly from experience and a bit from hearing recordings. I think that one of the most distinctive parts of the VH4 sound is its emphasis and character in the high-mids. The lows are tight and the highs are only a little bit looser; the result is...

    Should I pull the trigger?

    Since it is an auction, you might not be able to get it for $128 (the current next minimum bid) even if you do bid. The reserve has not been met. However, you might still have a decent chance of winning the auction if you decide to go for it since presumably local pick-up auctions would have...

    Help With Installing a Humbucker and a P90

    A wiring diagram that has the same setup for one humbucker and one singlecoil should work just as well since the HSP90 is essentially just a special kind of singlecoil pickup. If you find one that lacks the split on the bridge, all you should need to do is send the 'middle' two combined wires...

    Help With Installing a Humbucker and a P90

    You could do effectively the same thing with either a push-pull pot or a 5-way switch, so that is up to your preference: 3-Way Neck Bridge & Neck, Parallel//Bridge Split & Neck, Parallel Bridge//Bridge Split The DPDT would split the humbucker for the second two positions, making for a...

    P-90s vs Single-coils

    I have a Mean 90 neck pickup in my baritone guitar (replacing a stock humbucker). I had read several reviews before making the switch where people praised them despite the price, and some even said that they sounded better than Seymour Duncan's Phat Cat pickups. I have also read from people who...

    'Indestructible' Jazz Pick

    I also sent an email to Dunlop to ask about it. They sent me a bag of different Jazz picks to try. These are more of initial reactions than in-depth review: JP Jazz III - It keeps its point better than some others. It is slightly larger than my other picks, so I find it a bit less comfortable...

    Get a Drop B or 5 String Bass?

    Something to keep in mind is that on some basses it may be difficult or even impossible to intonate the lower notes due to how the saddles are designed, but most modern basses should be able to handle it. The only other physical issue would be to adjust the nut to take the larger strings, which...

    Your First

    My first guitar was a black ESP LTD F-10. It came with a 'starter pack.' On the same day I got a Peavey Vypyr 15 combo amp, which I still use. The guitar I have since given to a friend. I had started learning to play a few things on guitar before that, however. I had borrowed my sister's old...
