Hey folks,
Hope you're all good- been a long time since I've been around.
I've got a Sire V7, 1st Gen bass that needs some TLC and a bit of work to lower the action at the dusty end of the neck.
I've had to sand the neck pocket before as it was really uneven, with a curve up at the end of...
Hey all,
Got this done during the week. My first mixing effort in some time. Had some trouble getting the mids sorted out. Let me know what you think.

Hey all,
At the tender age of 46 and after a few years of friends/family suggesting it, I've decided to start offering myself out locally to teach (mostly guitar & bass, with some keys and music tech- synths, recording etc).
I've set up a FB page for it and an intro vid with more to come to...
When I upped my string guage (years ago) on my 1527, I had to add a fourth spring to get the tension right.
The only problem is that to do this, I can't use the locking plate that screws in over the spring ends on the trem block.
So when I remove the strings for replacement/neck cleaning and...
So after getting my Sire V7 last year and loving it, and after a mate brought a fretless over in Dec, I got a bit of a hankering..
So here is my new Sire V7 Version 2 Jazz bass. 5 strings and fretless. I was totally blown away trying it in the shop. I also got a Tech 21 Bass Fly Rig- great bit...
Anyone here had some experience with these? Coming to Andertons in the UK in September. Having played a Squier Jazz Bass I loved recently, I started hankering for one. Then these appeared.
The reviews I've seen have all been nothing short of amazing. I'm wondering if there's anyone had one for...
Hi all,
Hope your Boxing day is stuffing you full again.
I'm on the verge of my first PC build ever (I've lived on hand-me-downs or second hand for years). I want it for both music production and gaming and am wondering how you all who have done this have managed the balance.
I'm...
Hey all,
I've had a copy of Pat Metheny's We Live Here since the 90s and only just realised that I quite like it. Hey! The sun was out when I played it! (my excuse!)
So- for some inspiration to getting some cheesy fusion tracks created myself, what other suggestions can you make? More Pat...
So last weekend, I did a restring and setup of my RG1527. Got the bridge back into the right place (since i upped the string guage it to 10s, it was canted up a bit) and generally gave the beautiful blue beast a clean up.
I installed the Crunchlab with the bar to the bridge originally for a...
So I went and gone and dun it. Didn't think I'd stretch to it in the end, but I got the SE 30th Anniversary Custom 24. Had to go 9 months 0% on it, but hell- you only live once.
It's a damn gorgeous guitar. Plays like a dream and sounds great. So far- with just wobbles on the trem, tuning is...
So.
I have an HRR Strat with an OFR.
I have 2 Ibanez RG's with Edge bridges.
One thing I've noticed on all setup info is that if the bridge is not relative flat to the body (or to the metal 'chip' on the side of Edge bridges), you need to tighten the springs up (if it's tilted up- or...
So. I did a dumb thing and wandered into a guitar shop (Guitar Village in Farnham for the fellow Brits). A daft thing, especially when I have no cash!
So i got chatting to a Guy who was playing a Graham Coxon Strat and eventually ended up trying a 30th Anniversary Custom 24 SE.
I swear the...
So,
I have a PC with XP, SP 3.
Current version of iTunes.
Since upgrading to iOS 8, my iPad has not been recognised by iTunes. So no recent backup. :(
When updating to current iTunes, it DID recognise the iPad and tried to update to iOS 8.1, but failed.
I now have an iPad stuck in...
So I made the error of getting Far Cry Classic on my XBox 360, via Arcade on the weekend.
Gave it a few hours on normal difficulty and realised that I hate it. Stealth (one of the chief points of the series) is almost absent, it's seemingly way too difficult, even on a standard setting and...
Hi,
Not sure if here is the best place or the computers/games etc thread..
I'm having a bit of trouble with my PC- it won't boot if I have lots of midi devices plugged in and switched on. I know this is something to do with different USB busses on the motherboard, but I'm wondering if there...
Is there any way I can block these bastard ads from redirecting my ipad to the store every time I jump on a page?!
Or somewhere effective to complain. I'm sure it's got to be suspect advertising as they may get hit related advertising boosts on the iStore.
Christ almighty it's annoying...
Well.
Being a long time Satch fan (he's one of my biggest guitar inspirations), I had a bit of a waning interest in new music from him.
My favourites are the old classics- Not of This Earth, Surfing, Flying and Extremist, alongside the live disc off Time Machine (about my favourite era for...
Hi,
I have a 2003 RG550-EX with 10-46 strings (standard tuning).
I find that the bridge tilts up probably about 5 degrees above what I would expect (thinking that the little chip in the side of the bridge should line up with the body).
Basically this gives me less clearance for the whammy...
So- I know there's a super-hyper-mega thread elsewhere, but I'm gonna make a new post anyways.
I'm mulling this for PC. I re-installed Diablo II on the weekend and still love it, but it's ageing and I ache for something new (and can't count how many times I went through it).
Is it any good...
