I've posted this question to a couple of sites more specific to what I'm trying to do and have gotten nowhere. I record using Pro Tools 2020.3. I run Windows 10 Pro and have a PreSonus Studio 26C interface and a Novation Impulse 49 midi controller. Is there any way of configuring a simple USB...

Re: Why do you suppose bass's use "blends", while guitars use switches? Both of Jazz basses and my Warmoth are set up with V/V/T. The T is a DPDT series-parallel switch. I usually leave the DPDT in the 'up' position, so that the top (neck) V is an "uber-volume." The bridge V is bypassed. I...

Re: Do bass guys do pup swaps / wiring changes like the guitar guys/gals? I don't like a lot of knobs and absolutely hate switches on basses, so on two of my basses I went the other way. For my '76 Rick 4001S I replaced the pickups with SDs for Rick and had a blend knob installed to replace...

Re: PedalShield Here's mine with and without. The material is sort of satin-like and I believe water resistant.

When I got my Novation Impulse 49 midi keyboard, I bought a cover from LightWing Studios, intended to keep it from getting dusty when not in use. Recently I contacted them and asked if they could make something similar for my Pedaltrain Jr. pedalboard. I have a puppy who was always stealing...

My wife and I will be getting a new puppy soon and I need to get a few guitars off the floor. Will need to hang 1 Jazz, 1 tele, 1 classical, and 1 steel string acoustic. Will be hanging on drywall (circa 1930 apartment). Any suggestions would be appreciated; have never used these. Thanks.

Lat summer I bought my wife a Cordoba C5-CE classical acoustic/electric guitar. At the time I paid $40 for unlimited setups for two years. I just picked it up after getting a setup and the tech recommended a guitar humidifier. Are these worthwhile? D'Addario Acoustic Guitar Humidifier We...

My wife has been playing guitar for about three years now and has started to write. She mostly plays a steel-string Ibanez that she's had for years and really likes; I got her a MIM Fender Tele a couple of years ago. I'd like to get her a classical (nylon string) acoustic-electric since she has...

I'm starting to really like flats. Have used GHS Bass Boomers on all of my basses except my '69 Gibson EB-1 and my '69 Fender Mustang (those have Rotosound tapewounds--a different animal) for many years. When I converted my '87 MIJ Squier Jazz to fretless (swapped in a fretless MIJ Fender...

Pulled the trigger on an MIJ 1999 Fender '62 RI fretless Precision neck from The Stratosphere. Installed on my otherwise idle 1987 MIJ Fender Squier Jazz: SD QPs with series-parallel switching, Gotoh 201B bridge and custom celluloid pickguard from Pickguardian. Went with LaBella 0760M Original...

Re: Fender Precision Bass Special? please hepl Re: Fender Precision Bass Special? please hepl I own one of the MIJ Jazz Bass Specials, which I bought off the rack brand new. It had some merits, but was nowhere near the quality of a standard P or J in terms of the electronics. I thought the...

I'm close to pulling the trigger on a Fender fretless neck that will be swapped on to my MIJ Squier Jazz. My tech thought it was a no-brainer since the Squier is kind of obsolete with my other (fretted) Jazz. My tech also said I really should consider flats (he knows I generally prefer RW)...

How difficult a job is converting a fretted neck to fretless for a luthier? Is it worth the bother in terms of the work involved or is simply replacing a fretted neck with a fretless neck (with lines) likely a cheaper option?

Re: Do ALL rock stars possess PERFECT pitch? This is what I thought of.
