hey guys.
i live in an apartment and can't make noise. my fiancee's family needs someone to house sit their cabin 2000 miles away. so we're going to drive out to help them out. i figured this would be a great time to record loud, so i'm going to do that and see what happens.
i'm bringing out two guitars (hard cases) and an old vintage amp (brownface princeton, which i absolutely love...literally i can fart into this amp it would sound like magic). anyway, sorry, that was gross. but my question is how to preserve the intonation of the guitars and make sure the amp arrives safe.
my steps so far:
1. lower the pitch of the strings a step or so.
2. pack the amp in a box and put blankets around it
3. put the amp and guitars in the back seat instead of trunk
any other ideas? i don't want to get there and have equipment problems.
i'm curious how we should handle the air conditioning in the guitar as we go through dry/humid/hot climates. i don't think i have time to get a case humidifier/hygrometer since we leave soon and honestly i don't want to waste money on that, so i'm thinking more just what can i do with logic and around the house type stuff.
I've heard of people putting damp sponges in cases. stuff like that. is that worth doing? we're traveling CA to Wisconsin, so it's through utah (dry/hot) to more humid areas.
thanks!
