Hi-diddely-o o good folks on the forum! Long time no post.. comp problems :gurmpy: Anyways, I've been explring the world of guitars and amplification a bit further still, and noticed that quite a few artists use separate preamps in their rigs.. My own amp, A carvin XT-112, is a nice tool...

Hey everyone! I was fiddling around with my rig, and had an idea (yes, an idea. BEWARE!). Can any exsisting line selector change the setup so that my multieffects unit is either in the effects loop, or goes directly into the amp? After a bit of drawing, BAD drawing, I figured it should work as...

Hiya all! I know I will build my coolection of guitars and amps slowly but surely.. At this point , I'm thinking having "one of everything" in terms of guitars, and the best I can afford ATM in amps and effects. I'm thinking of having one of each of the classical guitar designs in the future...

Allrighty, I recorded something with my Strat that sports a Parallel axis distortion trembucker, and it sounds like doo-doo. I can get a far better sound from some bigger speakers than from my computer speakers or headphones, but I suppose it gives you SOME idea of the pickup. And reminds me...

Hi everyone! I was just planning on buying a new set of strings, and maybe a new volume pot for my EMGs.. I was wondering how much stuff like that costs around the globe, and do those prices affect your maintenance in any way? I have to pay about $ 10/8 € for a set of strings, unless I go with...

I've been playing around with the idea of having in-built guitar effects for my Squier, just fr fun. While browsing around the internet, I stumbled across these: http://www.muzique.com/schem/mole.gif and http://www.muzique.com/schem/bird.gif What do you think, could those be put on the some...

I'm currently overgoing a huge rewiring operation, and my loyal Squier is the only one needing to be finished. I'm going for the h/h 2vol 1tone wiring: http://www.seymourduncan.com/website/support/schematics/2hum_2vol_tone_5way-w-spl.html But I have an extra push-pull pot unused. Has anyone...

I got rid of my GAS for a short while after getting my SG.. I'm now posessed with GSS, Guitar setup syndrome.. I set up the string height and intonation of my strat, played the heck out of it, decided to make the trem floating and did a re-setup. I toyed around with the floating bridge, played...

After a few arguments on Messenger, I'm curious to know if there REALLY is a brand of guitars called Squire. I've had a few Fender Squiers in my time, but I've never seen a Squire.. Any difference? Or just misspelling? I've heard that harmomy-central has had a similar thread, but I'm not going...

Hi all! I was looking at my gear and I suddenly realised.. I never use the middle pickup on any h-s-h guitars.. I've been using them with s-s-s guitars, but it's a totally different deal. I was wondering what do you use your middle pickups for? And in what kind of a guitar? Anyone using them in...

Ookay, I decided to turn my HsH config to a HH one.. I did put the pickups in and got this strange hum, like something was ungrounded, but it was a very little noise, and it dissapeared when I turned the guitar so that the strings were facing the roof.. It was the bridge pickup, my PA-TB2. WTF...

Okay, I posted this junk eariler.. http://koti.mbnet.fi/boredom/clips/theclipthatfailed.wav Then the power cord on my V-amp2 came off.. seems that a little plastic part that keeps it intact with the unit broke off.. Anyhow, I managed to fix it back to working order, and recorded this...

Hiya all! While waiting for my Epi G-400, I've been browsing around for JB prices.. Now, since it's an SG, I WANT it to have COVERED pickups. Seem that the covered JB costs about $25-30 more than the uncovered one. That sucks. I expected something like $10.. I have a spare cover lying...

I have these old battered up DeArmond parts at hand.. They include the pickups of this Indonesian made singlecut, the M-65C or something.. I was wondering if these are just cheap Indonesian made copies of the original DA pu's.. I've heard good stuff about them, but somehow I feel these won't be...

Hi all! I'm getting a Epiphone G-400 soon, and despite my original thoughts, I'm planning to modificate it a bit.. So, I was planning on wiring it the Jimmy Page LP way, with push/pull knobs and all (if they only fit the body). Does anyone here have that kind of wiring? Is it any good? Any...
