That's why I bought it originally! But it has a kinda skinny neck, so the bassist in my band never uses it, so it just sits in my closet because I don't play bass very often. Plus there was a special order gone wrong at GC for a custom orange Music Man, and since I have to have all the orange...

Cleaning out some gear I don't need any more and I just can't get any hits on Craig's List, so I've finally decided to suck it up and post them all on eBay. I have: Schecter Stiletto Custom-4 in Natural finish. Includes a Coffin Case. Professionally set up, by which I mean I am a professional...

:) The moral of the story is, it now takes up almost half as much space, so I can fit it on my board. And because I'm not actually using all the connections made by the standard footswitch cable, I can now make it part of my 8-channel Mogami snake cable I use to run from the board to my amp (3...

I have a Roadster, which is a generally awesome amp in that it is like an analog modeling amp, but I am trying to squeeze all my pedals onto a PT Pro board and the amp's footswitch is just gigantic. I didn't want to go with a MIDI solution, as all the foot controllers are at least as big, and I...

I discovered this morning that if I connect the official footswitch to the amp with a 5-pin MIDI cable instead of the normal 8-pin cable, it still controls the channel switching and the solo mode, but does not control the other three functions. Which is fine, because those are the three I don't...

I just really don't want to haul around a rack is all. I experimented with a G-System a while back and racked some effects as well as the brain, but it was such a pain to configure, didn't play nice with my amp, and there was always a slight delay when switching channels. So let's remove the...

My bassist has been insistent that I should have a bigger pedal board so I don't have to limit my options, and since he has kindly agreed to buy me a PT-Pro, I will take him up on that idea. So at any given time I could have up to 13 pedals on the board (thought 12 is more likely). Personally, I...

It's interesting how much you guys all love the bridge pickup. On my The Paul, that was my favorite for a long time, but I have to say I prefer the deep tones of the neck pickup for most clean stuff. Almost never for anything with any real amount of distortion, though, which is where I run into...

We played a show last night where the band before us had the same amp and a nicer Lies Paul and sounded great. Then the headliner used my guitarist's amp with his Jaguar and sounded great. I made sure to point that out to my guitarist.

Well, I'm going to start by just adjusting the bias, since that's simple and easily reversible. I've also tried having him play with different picks to see if that helps, since I have noticed that I get different tone out of different picks, but I think Lt. Bob is right. Well, I know he is...

What do you have against neck pickups? It's the best for clean and bluesy drive.

I mean, it is the player, absolutely. The problem is he writes all the songs, more or less, and the band would pretty much just dissolve without him in it. So I'm trying to work with him as much as possible here. I've never been a big fan of rolling off the volume knob, probably because I get...

Just looked it up on Eurotubes and it looks really easy to adjust the bias. It is adjustable and designed to be simple to change, including test points for a probe. I'll give that a shot, as well as having him roll off the volume a bit. Maybe I can try different caps in the guitar, too, just to see.

We're not exactly sure. It's an early 2000s, so if that's the same as current models, that's a 490R and a 498T. I dig the Burstbuckers in the new satin series, but he doesn't have that for sure. I haven't really tried rolling off the volume or the tone, but that could help. I have played around...

He actually tries not to get any drive from the amp, so the gain is set pretty low. He often practices on my OR15H rather than bringing his amp to my house for practice, but we did get him to bring the amp to practice once so we could just sit down and figure out a tone. I also sat down with it...

So here's the deal. The frontman in my band has a fetish for Fender amps that the bassist and I (who are kind of tone snobs, I have to admit) have never really understood. For a long time, he was convinced that his Frontman 212R was fantastic. It was only after months of badgering and the...

It is custom built. I can check the standoffs. Though I also did a little more reading and remembered I have a nice Ebtech Hum Eliminator from when I was experimenting with a TC G-System, and that seems to get rid of the buzz just fine. Thanks for the tip, though!

I use my computer for gaming and general purpose stuff, mainly, and a bit of mixing for my band when we're putting an album together. I use Yamaha HS50ms for the monitors, with the matching HS10w sub, and a Focusrite Saffire Pro 24 for my interface. Prior to noticing this problem, I was using...

I'm trying to avoid USB. I'm just about out of ports, which is one of the reasons I went back to a firewire interface (though that had more to do with wanting a bus powered interface and lower latency). I haven't ever experienced extra noise from a wireless card, but in the past I have had...

I don't have a wireless card in my tower PC because they used to always cause problems with recording. Is that still true? It's been many years since I thought about it, but I was looking at adding a bluetooth option to my computer and most of the PCI cards I can find with that are also wireless...
