Anyone ever changed the bar magnet on a pickup? My fernandes strat copy has crappy pickups that use what look like ceramic bar magnets. I'm wondering if I swapped the magnets for some alnico bar magnets if the pickups would improve any.

I've decided to start practicing again to improve my technique and develop my ears more. I noticed that when I'm doing picking sequences, my pinky comes off of the fretboard 1/2" to 1" some times. What do you guys think? Is this going to give me problems when I get into pushing my max speed...

I'm curious to know if either of you have used both the yorkville ysm-1's and tascam vl-x5's. I have a pair of the art branded york clones and am wondering if the it would be worth the trouble of switching to the tascam's. I like how my current monitors translate by I don't care much for the...

Ima get goin after the Super Bowl. Stay tuned........

I've owned this dynamic mic for quite a while. It's a bit on the ugly side or maybe just very plain looking. It's resale value is next to nothing so it's not worth throwing into my buy, try, resale scheme of testing out mics. This mic was given to me because the original owner thought the...

I disassembled my Fernandes strat knock off today to just what kind of crappy electronics might be in there (very low output, anemic highs). I found a funky volume pot that has me scratching my head. With the volume fully closed, I'm getting 6k ohms between terminals 3/2, wide open 6k ohms...

What do you think about this: CLICKY Here's your update: CLICKY

when you stopped practicing? i play and experiment a lot but haven't practiced in a long time. i'm thinking it would do me some good.

I got around to trying this a couple of days ago but I couldn't get the transformer out. The 545sd is different than a sm57 in how the transformer is held in. There are two blobs of epoxy, about the size of a pencil eraser, that hold the transformer in. The hot glue mentioned for the sm57 is...

I'm writing a tutorial on the basics of Cubase LE. It will cover setting up an audio/midi interface, creating a first template, setting up vsti's/vst's, recording audio/midi, and basic editing. It's intended for first time users of Cubase LE. Does anyone have any suggestions on other things...

i've been using aptuner (software) for about a week and just wanted to mention it to anyone that needs/wants a tuner with precision of 1/10 a cent. it's free to evaluate and only $35 to buy. i've never owned a strobe tuner but this prog beats the snot out of any tuner i've ever tried. the...

My old beater Yamaha has sand in it from playing at the beach when I lived in Florida. I've shaken this thing more times than I can count but could never get it all out. How in the hell do I get those last 10 grains of sand out that mach me every time I pick this guitar up?

One of the noisiest but coolest sounding guitar players ever. Screw you all. All of your guitar players are belong to me.

I saw this one included in the drum mic pack. What is the MSH-1k? I'm assuming the "K" is for "Kick".

I screwed up and moved the file c:\windows\system32\winlogon.exe to a different folder. Windows would'nt boot. So I removed the hard drive, connected it to another pc, and moved winlogon.exe back to the system32 folder and swapped the drive back to my pc. I kept getting the message "NTLDR is...

Where is this stuff available? I've googled and have'nt found anything but round grills. I'm looking for some black mesh to use on some small stage monitors.

I've been playing with a band in small to medium clubs. Currently we don't have any stage monitors. One of the guys in the band recently purchased a p.a. system with no regard toward stage monitoring. The p.a. rig consists of 2 15"/tweeter cabs, 2 18" sub cabs, a couple of power amps, a dual...
