    i electrocuted myself last night

    -the thing should have blown a fuse. ..electricity in a switch, the switch might be faulty and getting charged. Or, voltage has leaked to ground, which, blows a fuse. -I dont think you can drain capacitors from a switch. ..but possibly.. - My suspect would be a faulty switch, since no fuses...

    Bare knuckle pickups to baritone?

    Hi!!! Well... I'm more asking about the Bare knuckle pickups in general, if anyone has experiences and whatkind??? I mailed them and got a reply that suggested BlackDog-pickups, no hotter than Nailbomb, to keep the low-end in check. I do play Metal, but I'm more interested in Tone and...

    Outfitting a Rig

    I'd look at the George L:s and planet waves solderless kits, just for the neatyness of exactly measured cables, I use Planet waves, seems OK when they're not moved much. And fricken easy. Gold-plated, and Planet waves have these "springs" on the plug that makes it stick in there better.

    Now they've done it.....

    I'm being outnumbered and clearly out-luthiered here.:D As I said, my ears couldn't tell the difference one way or the other, and my objectivness has been clouded by years of friends with cheap Jacksons with FR copies resulting to bad sounds and perpetual tuning.:o With all the other mods...

    Now they've done it.....

    Yes..I've seen the FR bridge. My simple thoughtpattern goes like this: Pivoting between strings and springs leaning on two metalposts, it can't possibly resonate as much in to the body, as with a solid construction because something goes through, to the springs, they tremble, right?? I mean...

    Now they've done it.....

    Why would anyone carry 10lbs slab of mahogany in their necks, if the strings are separated from it with springs, nulling any effect of the wood to tone,sustain or any advantages of rigid, heavy body with a glued neck??:confused:

    I've hit a brick wall...

    +1000 000. Start jamming, with people, form a band maybe. I'm in a rut, been for a couple of years now.... Skill-wise. But playing with friends or on stages, I don't mind, I'm having fun!!:D And actually, listening, and seeing friends play, has teached me things, and with those things, I like to...

    Roadready-ing a setup.

    Bwahahahaaaahaaa!!!!! I went to rehealsalplace today. I measured the cab+the sovtek head together with a drumstick. 2 and half sticks high!! 1 and a quarter wide!:eek: It's a damn microstack!:D:D:D (105cm x 54cm) I'll put them in the same case, and the pedalpart separately. Will fit in the...

    Interesting argument for the difference between cheap & non-cheap guitars...

    Those 400 hundred dollar Deans have never given me grief. Cheaper ones were all crap, from setup to sound. More expensive Gibson LP Baritone, same shit as the cheaper ones!:mad: -The bridge, cuts strings all the time, AND is falling apart!.. All the intonation screws are falling off, and the...

    Fake orchestra

    Too damn short is what I say.;) Sounds are great for VSTi, I dabble with Edirol orchestral, with the keyboard of my laptop, and can't get nearly that precise. Or sounds that transparent or clear.

    Psychobilly?

    I'm pretty much with Rayc on that not being psycho enough, but being a pretty good rockabilly tune on its own. The contant clash of a cymbal from the middle is drilling to my head, but otherwise a nice mix! imho.

    Roadready-ing a setup.

    True. But putting them in separate cases leaves the issue of plugging everything together again. Being equivalent of just getting a few roadcases.:( Measuring 160 x 70 x 70 cm (estimate), It'd be slightly bigger, but less weight than an Ampeg 8x10 cab. "Just get a combo", is lurking somewhere...

    Roadready-ing a setup.

    Hellows! I've gigged a couple of times as a bassist, and watched and laughed and been worried about them guitarists.:D heads, cabs, wires, cables and effects all scattered to hell on stage, not to mention while hauling stuff from gig to another! ..not mention them guitars. Always something...

    Kasha quikmod experiences???

    Welll, ....I'm always looking for tones.. ((GAS)) I like my tone with a Pedaltone, but its clumsy, and packed with features I don't need, looked around and found that thing. Anyone know about it??

    How's my sound? Would LOVE opinions

    Not a bad sound. Though, too distorted, flat and sharp for my taste, but I'm an overdrive-man myself, even in Metal.:o ..Just can't beat the ROAR!!:cool: Sounds pretty low-noise too.
