About a month ago I changed the mag in my '59b to an A8 roughcast unpolished mag with LtKojak's recommendation and blueman335's +1 in my LP Studio. I gotta be completely honest, the P/U sounds amazing. It's got muscle, it's creamy yet defined and tight, and it's got just enough growl. There's a...

I've got some magnets I bought off ebay and want to swap them into my pickups. But there is just one thing I'm not sure about, is there a particular direction (north or south polarity, etc) or do I just swap them in and go?

So I've been recording a fun new song for the past week that I wrote recently about a girl I met at a wedding. It's still a rough mix but decent enough to post on soundclick. Take a listen and let me know what you think. Enjoy! Popcorn

I know, I know... you're wondering how something like that happened. I jammed with the band on Wednesday, and we haven't been back to the jam space since today. It had been left on standby for 4 days.... :doh: I hope I didn't damage any tubes or circuitry.

So, I find the '59b in my LP Studio to be too trebly. It's sounds nice when I roll off the volume and tone on the guitar, but it's too shrill with the tone and volume rolled all the way on "10." I also find that it's missing some bass, and midrange (I'd especially like more midrange). It's...

Hey peeps.. so a couple days ago I installed a JazzN and '59b in my LP Studio. Currently, there are 500k pots and although it's a great combo, I'm wondering if maybe they aren't as clear as I assumed they'd be. I'm finding the Jazz to be a bit bright and boomy, and the 59 to be honky and shrill...

I've got an opportunity to pick one up for $100. I think it would be a solid addition to my rig. What's your opinion... especially if you are a user? I've listened to some clips and it sounds fantastic...seems like a versatile tube pedal that does blues, classic and hard rock pretty well.

I came across a 2005 Gibson SG Standard for sale in my neighborhood on craigslist for $775. It's got a Bigsby installed on it and for some reason, the owner refinished it cherry red (it was originally black). I've contacted the guy and he's responded... I'm trying to decide if I should go take a...

Hey guys. I used to spend alot of time in this SD forum but have trailed off the passed couple years. But I'm in need of some advice. I've got a '92 Gib LP Studio with a mahogany body and an ebony fretboard. I haven't played it in about 5 years and I want to revive it. I've already got a Jazz...

Well, here I am in the market for an amp and I'm really confused about which to settle on. I haven't really started testing any out, but I'm trying to narrow down my choices before I do. I need something to gig with in bars and small clubs, as well as rehearse with; I was thinking 30/40 watts...

Hey there. I've got a mid 90's Gibson 335. The stock Gibson p/u's aren't cutting it. I've got Antiquities in my 'Am Tele' and love 'em. I was thinking 'bout placing humbucker Antiquities or Seth Lovers in my 335. I've heard Ant's in a Les Paul and loved the tone, but not sure how they would...

Hey guys. I just finishing mastering my band's first tune "She Said" off our new 3 song demo, and wanted to post for your thoughts and opinions. We recorded everything ourselves using Cubase and Pro Tolls. I did all the mastering using Pro Tools plugins. Enjoy! She Said

http://www.digidesign.com/index.cfm?navid=214&itemid=5423 I'm not too sure it does what Digidesign is claiming it does. The tones seemed a little artificial in the audio samples. I'm using the PODxt now, and am loving it... but wondering if I can buy some online software instead as a plug-in...

http://www.soundclick.com/bands/default.cfm?bandID=430216&content=songinfo&songID=6009592 I haven't had the time to record any vocals just yet, but everything else is there. Enjoy!

I cover this with my band, and took a few hours to record a quick version. Take a listen and send me your thoughts re: recording quality, playing and anything else your ear hears. I'm new to singing, so any criticism or compliments are what I'm most curious about. Here's the link...
