    My New James Tyler SE HD

    2 JTV singles and a Duncan Trembucker w/mid boost. The first time I picked it up and plugged it in, I noticed a HUGE difference over every single Strat I have played, owned. VERY resonant and the feel of the necks are just incredible. The 2-point Wilkinson bridge w/the bent saddles feels and...

    I bought a Variax 5 String Bass....

    I am really thrilled with it, it's so versatile. I'll post pics, but it looks like this: I guess it's bass modeling has something to do w/midi. The upright sounds like an upright, the P-bass sounds like a P-bass, The fretless and fretted jazz bass, the same. The feels are very accurate for...

    My New Bass ~ Ernie Ball Music Man Sterling (HS)

    Hi, I just wanted to post a couple of pics of the new bass I got brought home tonight. I sold off my Fender Amer. Jazz Bass, which I never really meshed correctly with "feel-wise". It is an Ernie Ball Music Man Sterling Bass, and the newer model that was released with a single in the neck and...

    POD XT - Easy To Get Good Tones?

    I don't own one of these, but after listening to some of the sound clips, it sounds good, IMO...especially that Eruption w/Plexi Variac and Phaser. I am seriously considering purchasing one. For those of you that own, or have used one, have you found that it is pretty easy to get the tones you...

    Type of Nut on Mayer Stratocaster?

    Locking Tuners Without Drilling holes?

    Hi, I was wondering if anyone knows of a brand of locking tuner heads that will work for my Mayer Stratocaster that won't require drilling any holes? This guitar has the Vintage tuner heads with the slot at the top. The only ones I saw were Planet Waves, but I don't like the plastic on the...

    How close do Little/Junior Humbuckers come to the sound of a full size humbucker?

    Hi guys, I was just wondering how close a JB jr. or Lil 59 comes to the sound of the same full-size humbuckers? is there a significant difference? I'm thinking about putting one of these in my new Strat, thanks!

    Groove Tube Fat Finger-has anyone tried this?

    I was just curious if anyone has tried this product. Supposedly you clamp this object onto the headstock of your guitar and it increases sustain by adding physical mass to the headstock. Does this work or is it just some lame gimmick excuse of a product?

    Classic Stack Plus question

    Hi, yesterday I just installed 2 Classic Stack Pluses in my HSS Strat. I was wondering if it is normal for the notes to sound a little more choked/less sustaining then regular single coil pickups? If it is, is there any way to resolve this? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
