So I am looking into trying to play bass after messing around with electric guitar for a few years. I'm just wondering if you have any tips or anything to go off of when I am looking into different basses. If it helps I would mostly be playing metal.

So I may finally be getting my Flying V fixed. The place i'm taking it charges $40 for a Floyd set up, $20 for the tremolo arm I need, $2 for the string block i'm missing and $4 bucks a a piece for the locking nuts and caps I need. Would you guys say this price of about $85 dollars after...

So I am looking at replacing my pups in my Schecter C6 plus. The ones I really like are the Nazgul/Sentient set but my budget is only going to be about $600 USd for the pups and an amp. Do you guys have any suggestions on something that is close but may be a little cheaper. Or should I try to...

If I can post some recording of me playing could you guys help me out with what you see wrong and what I should work towards improving?

What strings would you guys recommend for that tuning? I am running a guitar with a 25.5 scale.

Okay guys I am tired of just sitting around making no progress on my guitar playing. I'd say i'm low level intermediate in my skill level. More of a example is I can play all of Nightmare by Avenged Sevenfold besides the second half of the solo. Starting at the sliding/tremelo picked part. What...

So I have been thinking about trying to build a guitar and I think a good place to start would be an inexpensive guitar kit. Do you guys have any experience with these or can give me some pointers. Or would you recommend saving up and trying to build one from scratch? I know there was a thread...

So I need some more help guys. In your opinion what would be the best free music production software? Nothing to fancy, just something a beginner can start working with.

I have a Sky Flying V, that I do't really use much. (My wife says its her guitar but she never picks it up) I am thinking about doing some modifications to it including a pick up swap. How do you think a Invader in the bridge and a Dimebucker in the neck will sound?

Ok guys I know I ask for a lot of help but I am just trying to get the best sound possible for my upcoming project. Me and a couple friends are trying to start something kind of like Bone Thugs and Harmony mixed with rock/metal backing tracks. Basically Nu-Metal with more of a rap influence. I...

I might be buying a dean avalanche off of a friend of mine as kind of a project guitar. What do you guys know about these guitars? What all would you recommend upgrading and what would be some good cheap pups to throw in?

So I am going to try and save some number to get a new guitar. This is the one I am looking into. Would you guys consider this a good investment? http://www.musiciansfriend.com/guitars/esp-ltd-mh-401fm-electric-guitar?pfm=home_page.rr1|RecentHistoricalItems?pfm=ac-a

I have a Sky Flying V with a floyd and bolt on neck. Once I can get the parts I need to start playing it again I want to set it up but I do not have the time or money to take it to a tech. Do you guys have any tips on setting up a guitar for someone who has never set it up before?

So I have a Sky V with a floyd that needs some work. Any one know the best place to get locking nuts, string blocks (I only need one) and a new tremelo arm?

So i'm looking into getting a new amp if I can get approved for a card through musicians friend. The one I am looking into is Marshall MG100HCFX 100W Head with MG412CF 4x12 Cab. Would you guys recommend it? I mainly play hard rock/metal.
