Generally vintage bursts were much lighter. Now think of poor Randy Rhoads with his smallish frame playing a 70s LP custom night after night! Back breakers!

Hmmm, myself and the boys got together after not playing for a few weeks. We did a 4 hr jam. I went home wiped out! Usually we’ll just do 2 hours. Man, I have new respect for aging legacy rock acts doing national and world tours! Props to them. But then again, they don’t have to lug their...

Earlier 166 models are USA made. Mine’s one of those, and I trust it’s better. Usually when overseas outsourcing is started quality goes down. Just my opinion

Time for a break, me thinks. Just came in for a minute and the first two things that I click on seem to be getting ugly. Do we have a ‘walk in and walk out of a room’ emoji? :D

I could be wrong but I think he was being a wee bit sarcastic regarding another thread (not one of yours) That thread is about a Martin guitar manifesting buzzing or a weird resonance or some shit. Anyways, 18 months and 9 or 10 pages of talk, talk, talk with zero resolution. It’s quite...

Or when you run out of money. :D

Well, finally a success. :thumbs up: This thread has been epic, with a happy ending. All’s good in whooville.

More preamps is always good, even better if they’re affordable.

Too colorful for me I prefer the all black look. Like Johnny Cash. Hey! He was Emo before Emo! What a trend setter!

Well, we all suffer from 1st world problems from time to time. :D

We still on straps ? Geez! How we gonna solve the world’s problems if we don’t even have a solution for color matched straps!! :D

Lots of goodies. Like an indoor amusement park. :D

This thread was started in March of 2024. It’s over a year old and 9 pages of talking about it. The mantra seems to be “when I have the time”. You don’t seem to even have time to post a pic of the frets. Yet there’s plenty of time to post and even put up clips of the manifestation. Fix the...

I have an American made DBX 166. It’s pretty good. Also have an ART Pro VLA ll. Like that as well. Used to have an Alesis 3630. Eh, kind of junk, but it does have a certain ‘color’ it adds.

You could always install EMG pickups. No string ground required and they are noiseless. (not recommending or endorsing. Just another option)

Not as bad as I expected. But I’d simply practice, practice and re-record. As it is, it makes a perfectly fine scratch track. Ps. If it makes you feel better, my vocals are much worse :D

Look what popped up on my YouTube feed.

Not always true. For example, a Gibson ES125 has a rosewood bridge so the ground is attached to the strap button and the trapeze tailpiece. But yes, in most cases the strap button is not electrically connected to anything. It’s just a piece of metal screwed into wood. So running a wire from it...

I know the problem, the owner is yelling all the time…….just kidding :D Check into the suggestions Sweetbeats made.

Not familiar with the original, but as a ‘standalone’ song this was good. I also echo the compliments others have made. Less typing for me :)
