    Christmas Gifts 2023 (for the guitarist)

    My wife gave me a KORG CA-30 tuner many, many years ago. I still have it, still use it, and it works great, Then new model is the CA-50 and it's $40.

    question about track bouncing on tape

    That's why I always kept a pair of pantyhose in the glove box. (My ex believed it!)

    question about track bouncing on tape

    That's true. But it defeats the purpose of recording on tape. My Revox is pretty awesome. If I want perfect, I'll use a DAW. But then again, I can always blame my clams on the "Ghost in the Machine".

    question about track bouncing on tape

    No "Check Engine Lights", I bet :ROFLMAO: There are wrenches in the trunk and a Chilton's. I remember the days when we set the point gap with a match book, tuned timing with a glass of water on the air cleaner, and turned the distributor until the water didn't shake. Ahh. The good old days

    2008 Martin D28 - horrible resonances

    There are some good spectrum analyzer apps out there. That would be a great help in isolating the frequency that's bothering you.

    2008 Martin D28 - horrible resonances

    Slightly off topic, but maybe relevant. If you listen to "An American Tune" by Paul Simon, it is a very sparse arrangement. However, the bass is a major part of the arrangement. If you listen closely, Bob Cranshaw (I always thought it was Carol Kaye), plays some notes that sound so out of...

    2008 Martin D28 - horrible resonances

    That would seem the logical first choice. Did you have your new guitar set up, or play it out of the box? It may also be that your ears are too well tuned to pick up these anomalies that most or us don't hear as prominently.

    2008 Martin D28 - horrible resonances

    It is also worth noting that G is the third harmonic of C.

    2008 Martin D28 - horrible resonances

    THAT is a really interesting point. I have an Epiphone AJ 100. While it doesn't exhibit OGs problem, it has a natural resonance ~G

    2008 Martin D28 - horrible resonances

    Given that you get that sound, even when you finger the G string, it sounds more mechanical than anything. Maybe your truss rod is vibrating?

    STICKY PALMS?

    I was really surprised, and very happy with the 0000 steel wool. I tried it on my Epi LP. It took the shine off it, and left a really nice satin sheen that feels great. Still got the Finger Ease coming in, but this is a really nice first start. Thanks

    You should have screwed your head on before you screwed the pooch. Sucks being you. :RTFM:

    STICKY PALMS?

    I always use 0000. Especially for polishing frets. I should say, though, that my problems are with the back of the neck (I'm sure everyone got that). It's like towing a boat out of the mud: The truck wants to "GO", but the mud says "NO". (That was pretty punny, eh?) I'll see how it goes. We jam...

    STICKY PALMS?

    I know where you're coming from. I have aunts that I like, but I don't like ants. Nonetheless, live and let live. I hate to see anything suffer. I even catch wasps and set them out to the outdoors. And, I don't like bats. But I 'm pretty successful at catching them and setting them free. If...

    STICKY PALMS?

    It has been brutal. Yesterday and today have been gorgeous. I left the windows open last night and woke up to a beautiful 65 degrees F in the house. It hasn't been under 80 for too long.

    STICKY PALMS?

    I've decided to go with door number 2. I bought a can of Finger Ease. I'll also likely go with the 0000, too. @jimistone I think it right on. @DrewPeterson7, I found that Scotchbrite is WAY to aggressive.
