    GZ Sniper iPhone audio clip

    So I’ll ask the elephant in the room Q. Is this a new design, Aldrich based, Snorkeler based. All of the above lol? It sounds killer whatever it is! Love the clean up.

    Joe Bonamassa reveals an odd string modification he uses to improve reliability

    I’ve never liked top wrapping and like the stop bar all the way down. For me it’s more about ringing behind the saddle (or nut). Optimally the string should only vibrate along its vibrating length and be muted past the saddle and nut. The more ringing behind the saddle/nut the more energy is...

    Happy Mother's Day...assuming there are any other women besides Lisa on here

    My parents are in their mid-80s and live in an assisted-living condo sort of thing. My Dad has been recovering from a health issue and hasn't seen my Mom in quite some time. My Mom has dementia pretty bad. Few days ago my Mom had what appears to be a choking incident, no pulse, CPR, but she...

    New Partscaster day

    Nice build! They really crammed the switch and pickup wire thru-hole in the corner of that cavity but you made it look great.

    Bad luck with JJ ecc83s

    Yes that's what that is. You probably tossed it but maybe one of the pins is loose/bent?

    I'm assuming a string tree will fix this?

    That's the Triple tree I was referring to. I put nut sauce on the part of the string that goes under the tree. They come with three different spacers to set the height where you want.

    What CAN'T you do on guitar?

    I cant play slide for shit. But for me the intro and vocal backnforth in live Stateboro Blues is still one of the most bone chilling guitar parts ever.

    Amp Build: Marshall 1959T – "Bay Area Thrash" Langner Mod

    I don't know the schematic or values but you can tell from the pics that there is a lot of careful gain and high end dumping going on along the way. It also doesn't sound overly midrange-focused which can happen when trying to cut bass for tight and cut highs so it's not too...

    I'm assuming a string tree will fix this?

    Even if they are staggered tuners most Strat/Tele necks sound better and have less sitar-like issues with a string tree. Having a decent break angle over the nut makes a difference. I would use the Triple-tree which also gets the G-string. But mount it with the hole between the E and B string...

    Suggestion for alternate value for cap

    But between the two you posted I’d use 3300pF. The jump from 2200pF to 4700pF seems bigger than the others.

    Suggestion for alternate value for cap

    Or if they have 470pF then use 2200pF + 470pF for 2670pF.

    What are some songs from the 80s-early 00s that really get the crowd going?

    This one always got people singing and dancing. And if you can pull it off the old Do You Feel Like We Do works great.

    Amp Build: Marshall 1959T – "Bay Area Thrash" Langner Mod

    Even thru an iphone clip I instantly prefer straight in. As usual. Sounds killer.
