    truss rod on JP7 seems to be stuck

    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...

    spilled some water/tea on my guitar...

    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...

    how to remove rust form guitar hardware, screws and pick-up pole pieces?

    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...

    crackling sound on regular audio playback

    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...

    PC hardware and OS (Win 7 or Win10) upgrade questions

    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...

    recording a direct guitar signal with or without DI box?

    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...

    are free website templates a good idea? what do you recommend?

    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...

    set-up question with regard to action/string rattling

    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...

    do you recommend the Reaper ReaPlugins to use with a different DAW?

    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...

    question on installing and removing apps on Android

    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...

    question about installation path of sound libraries

    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...

    are there any good PS4 games for offline single player gaming?

    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...

    truss-rod adjustment questions

    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...

    Are these symptoms of a dying speaker?

    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...
