I think Tabs are and should be legal. They are educational tools. They are not promulgated to take someone's music. They are to teach how to use your instrument to create music. I personally have had excellent experiences finding accurate tabs. I use them quite a bit. (1) Sometimes...

Depends on the country. Some countries the winner is the first to use. In some countries, the winner is the first to file. Should look into that.

I'd go with lawyer first, because the manager will surely want you to sign a contract, and he's looking out for himself first, and you second. The lawyer can at least let you know what to look for in such an agreement, and he can make sure your band is set up properly (if you are really being...

No, but now you have "actual notice" which can be used for willful infringement damages (should they win such a lawsuit). Especially if you responded to them.

I'm not sure how it works where you are, but around here there are volunteer lawyers for the arts organizations that provide lawyers for just this kind of thing either for free or for a greatly reduced fee. Check into it. Call the local bar association and ask. Believe it or not, a lot of...

I think someone might have mentioned this, but see a lawyer.

I'm sure there are. I just wish mgood had brought that with him when he first posted - would have shut this thread right down (is all I'm saying).

Screw-ups will happen. With any company. It's how they handle them that is important. Check out how Seymour Duncan handled a very rare screw-up: http://www.seymourduncan.com/forum/showthread.php?t=59532&page=2 Very last post. I was impressed, and even though there was a screw-up, I came...

Interesting that everyone saying "hey use your ears and forget about tabs" are teenagers or otherwise too young to drink. Yeah, when I was that young, I had time, too. In fact, when I was that young, I figured out songs by ear. Time, guys. Time. That's the missing ingredient for some of...

I don't have the time to sit down and figure it all out. Nor do I have the patience. I can squeeze in one, maybe two hours in a practice session, and that's not even every day. That session is enough time to learn a song using tab, maybe even two songs depending, and practicing it/them enough...

But they do it in such a short-sighted way. Here's an example. Cover band decides to learn XYZ Song. Cover band plays XYZ Song at a gig. Member of the audience hears XYZ Song and thinks, "I haven't heard that one in a while, I really like that." fan goes home and buys XYZ Song off iTunes...

Now that they're all getting shut down, I guess we'll have to wait a few months to see what new pay sites come up. Very annoying. The music industry can't stop shooting itself in the foot, can it. Like the music industry has any viable alternative to these tab sites? Not every band has tab...

I'm not a fan of tobacco burst, so I vote maple.

Frankly, I'm not surprised that this happened - not just because it's Carvin, but I'd pretty much expect as much out of any non-boutique manufacturer. Warranties, they'll handle. But they're not a repair shop. They're a manufacturer. I'm sure there's turnover, and you can't keep educating...

thanks for the replies I was afraid that was going to be the answer. I was hoping "vintage" meant floyd rose without actually using the trademark name. So frustrating because I have a guitar that I just adore, but I can't stand the FR trem. I just want a simple stop tail on it. When I saw...

Has anyone ever used one of these from Custom Shop to convert a Floyd-equipped guitar to a stop-tail: http://www.musiciansfriend.com/srs7/g=guitar/search/detail/base_pid/361537/ or http://www.musiciansfriend.com/srs7/g=guitar/search/detail/base_pid/360583/ I can't find their dimensions...

Ah, that blows. We let you down. :(

It's a tough business that way. Getting that one break is very hard.

Probably a good idea. Plus, maybe you can use this situation as a learning tool to get a firsthand education on the business, without risking her success or your reputation. That would be optimal.

The suspense is killing me. :) Fingers crossed, man.
