Hey Guys.. I am considering building a strat that I want with the features I want. Here's the thing. I've never setup a strat with a Floyd that sits on the body or that doesn't float. I should say I've never put one together. I've had them in a Peavey Wolfgang and it worked great and helped...

Thank you so much. So, one more thing. If I'm playing with the A Minor scale, I can also use the C Major scale too because it's the same notes right? Or related? Is this the same as the circle of 5ths or is that something else entirely? What's that all about and why is it important if you don't...

Hey guys. Sorry for the long post, but I'm not the best writer here. :-) I am a little confused. I understand how scales work in that you use them for feel. I guess I don't totally understand the rules. So, If I'm using a progression of chords, say my first chord is an arpeggiated chord of...

Thank you ToneLover. I didn't start this thread, but have been wondering what to use for recording myself, and for youtube video's that would make it easier to have at least someone quality audio to go with the video instead of recording them separate and working / fixing in Imovie, etc...

Hi, I love lot's of music and have listened to a lot in my 52, almost 53 years on this earth, but that said, I try not to listen to too much stuff that I don't care to play. My reasoning is that it will influence my playing and since I'm not the most accomplished theory guy, I want to study...

Hi Capulin. Hey, Great question. Actually, the guitar isn't mine. I just work at this pawn shop and they had it there. I only work there part time, but I'm the go to guy for guitar stuff because I'm one of the few players in this very very small rural area I live in. That and guns, is the...

Hey Man, Thanks so much. Great response. I'm going to have to try that one. I hope it's quiet enough is all. That's part of the reason I always used Actives, even if I didn't totally like the tone. (Although I am a Tone nut for the most part) Anyway, I hate to use Noise Suppressors, and eq's...

Thanks everyone. I am looking at the Jet City 20 watt combo and 50 watt. Not knowing how big to go, but I want to make sure I can turn up the volume loud enough to get that power tube sustain, etc, creamy, touchy, stuff I love while playing bluesy rock based metal, etc,. I normally will only...

I've never heard of a Gibson LP Regular ? What is that? :-) Nice Marshalls too man!

Hey guys and gals. I don't have a lot of money and I"m trying to get my main sound as a Plexi like tone that I can get from a 1 x 12 or 2 x 12 under say 700 bucks in the 15 to 50 watt range. I want something that has an effects loop, and that will take a boost pedal if needed good. I like...

So is the Bill and Becky pickup the same as the others that I keep seeing that say it's a pickup made by someone doing business as originally that Dime used. I of course have not tried the Bill and Becky's or the Jacobwitz DBA Bill Lawrence pup, but did try the Dimebag Duncan pup and really...

Thanks guys and gals. I appreciate it.. Very much. I'll have to order one soon

I like actives for a lot of reasons. Such as being able to use long cords, not getting shocked as easily, etc, etc,. That's the main reason, but I really did like that pup. I was shocked at how much I liked it. Cool pup! I'll check it out. I thought Bill L passed? Does his wife still sell pups...

Hey Guys.. I tried the SD Dimebag pickup yesterday at a pawn shop where I work for the first time and I was really impressed and that's not easy as I usually use an active pup. Anyway, the thing had this crunch I just loved. I was playing it in a Korean Ibanez S series guitar which isn't the...

Oh Man, you have to try the Peavey or the EVH peavey wolfgang neck. It's A Symmetrical and just feels great. Not too big and not too little. Too little is something I also don't like, but I'm like you and don't like too big also. I'm an average size guy ( 6' / 215lbs ) with average hands, but...

Very cool. Love it.. I also like the second one, but can't put my finger on why, but loved the first too. Great tone! Killer!

Thank you so much.

Tech 21 has a Plexi Pedal which is a preamp I think. You can try that. Also, check out black star and bogner. I think Tech 21 probably has the best thing out there now though in it's small pedal board called the "Fly Rig" just for plexi tone with reverb, boost, delay, etc,. You could use it in...

ok. Just took the trem spring cover off my 89 -91 Jap Charvel with a Schaller Trem from Germany. It has a Hex Screw on the base of the trem arm you can see on my guitar. I tightened it down just a little. NO WOBBLE! THank you god! I hate that! This is a great thing! Just for you folks that might...

That's the thing I always liked about the Ibanez Edge. It just fits in the hole of trhe trem body and is snug. It has an adjustment too and a collar that helps. It's loose, yet doesn't wobble and drive one crazy when they use the trem. I have a Schaller Trem on my Jap Charvel that says Made in...
