it seems the truss rod on my MusicMan JP7 is (almost) stuck, as it takes quite a bit of force to move it. I will eventually take it to a tech to have it checked out, but wanted to see if anybody here had similar issues and if so, was it remedied? is there a possible solution other than...
Hi, I posted this also on some FB groups that I'm in and got some good answers, but I also wanted to aks over here:
what tuning and string gauge do you use on your RGD2127 or other RGD 7-string with the 26.5" scale?? Mine came stock in A standard tuning with a set of 010-059 I believe. I just...
I was practicing my guitar and while taking a sip of tea I accidentally spilled some onto the guitar. The tea got the neck joint, and onto the fretboard (maple).
I dried it off with a paper tissue, so the tea was only there for a few seconds, but I'm a bit worried if the tea could cause some...
Hi,
I had left my black Sterling JP70 in a case for a few months, and oddly enough, even though I had left two packs of silica gel in the case with the guitar, when I opened the case a few days ago, the strings, the hardware (tuning heads), neck screws, back plate screws, pick-up pole pieces...
Hi,
I am using a Win7 PC with a Line6 UX2 interface which I use for recording as well as regular audio playback.
I have been using this setup for 10+ years and never had any issues.
Just a yesterday out of the blue I noticed crackling when playing back audio, be it playing an mp3 with the...
I still have Win7 64bit on my PC which I use for home recording (running Cubase).
It's not a DAW-only PC, I also use this PC for other stuff like emailing, using spreadsheets and office documents, but it's not a gaming PC (anymore).
I have no complaints about my current system, even though also...
So far I have used my POD HD500 and my POD Studio UX2 audio interface to record guitars.
I normally set the preset on the HD500 to have a wet (signal with amp and cab sim) and a dry/direct signal at the same time, which I both record on two separate tracks in my DAW so I can later use an amp sim...
Hi,
I know close to nothing about coding, I put together a very simple website from scratch years ago (link in my signature) with the help of google-searches and some forum-help.
Now, however, along with moving my site to a new provider I also thought I'd re-design the site, I don't want/need...
I have a fairly low action on my JP7, and in order to get there I adjusted the truss rod a while back to make the neck 'straighter' and lowered the string saddles.
I am happy with the end result, however the high e-string still has a lot more string rattle than all the other strings, and this...
Hi,
I'm using Cubase 7 as my DAW which comes with a variety of stock plugins.
I remember that the Reaper VST plugins are available for download and can be used with any DAW.
Do any of you use them outside of REaper? Would these add anything to the Cubase stock plugins?
I'm still pretty much a...
Hi,
I have an Android smartphone, and I was wondering if installing apps and removing/uninstalling them will leave any traces that may slow down my phone over time like uninstalled software would leave registry keys on a PC?
Is that similar on a smartphone of do apps get completely removed when...
Hi,
what do you guys consider as a best practice on where to install (big) sound libraries to?
I am about to re-install all my Toontrack products as I have a new SSD drive (for a few years already, but I have not re-installed my drum software yet).
My SSD still has 361 GB free of 456 GB. But I...
I was asking a similar question in the SW Battlefront 2 thread, but figured it might be a good idea to post a new thread about this:
I see the whole multiplayer/online gaming is where most PS4 games seem to be designed for these days, so I was wondering if there are any cool games that are also...
Hi,
I was lowering the action on my EBMM JP7, and I tightened the truss rod to get less bow in the neck.
I applied about two quarter turns (re-checking after the first quarter turn) and I liked the neck the way it turned out, maybe a bit too straight, but to me it played nicely.
The only...
I'm a PS4 noob, so please bear with me and my question(s): I just opened a PSN account, before I was just playing without one, using a user account on my PS4, but now since I opened a PSN account my PS4 user account got replaced by my PSN account. I realize that in order to play games online I...
Hi,
my Laney 2x12 cab has been acting up lately and I'm wondering if one or both of the speakers are dying?
When I first start firing up my amp though the cab I get a few seconds of crackling or even no signal, but after hitting a few chords, the signal is back on and all seems fine. After...
Hi,
just out of curiosity I started this poll on practicing with methods, be it books, DVDs or digital/online courses.
I personally used to try to work through one method (usually a book) complete before starting to work with another book and or DVD.
But lately I find myself working on...
Hi,
about 6-8 years ago when I built my PC I got Far Cry 2 and played it for hours on end, kinda got addicted to it, to the point where I uninstalled it so I would not spend so much time gaming anymore (it was out of control...LOL)
Have not been gaming much ever since.
I'm kinda starting...
Hi,
I have a question to those of you knowledgeable about smartphones:
until today my android would to connect to my home WIFI just fine using DHCP. But today all of a sudden it would connect to WiFi but get no internet, and the only way I could solve this was by using a static IP. My...
Hi,
my Yamaha Pacifica is equipped with a traditional style Wilkinson bridge that is mounted to the body of the guitar with 6 screws.
This guitar also has locking tuners.
The guitar came with the bridge set flat on the body, but I wanted to set it up floating so I could also bend strings up...
