  1. theres a guy in my town who busks with an electric 7/8 string violin, hes very very good, 7 string acoustics sound cool any one gonna try a 14 string acoustic instead of 12, think of the deepness and amazing chords it could do
  2. I heard the cheap-skates at epiphone used decals but not very well placed, why dont you try decals but with as much precision as possible, it should come out ok
  3. a marshall powerbreak is what you need. $120 i think, they let you turn it all the way up and stil have it working at a low volume. also is it second hand, if so the tubes might be a little knackered and might stop it overdriving as much
  4. while we are all taling about carving, would the routing be the best option for a PRS custom 24 top because ive been looking a a load and the bottom of the body (bridge pick ups and under) have a really slight curve. i was thinking of marking out on the veneer how low i would need to go and the sand it down of somthing, and route the horns. Would this be the best way to go?
  5. to be honest, its all on personal opinion, people like satch use the 10's which are good strings for speed, i like to add a 12 and a 9 on the top instead for easier bending. the 8's for me are too thin, its like cheese wire, i dont really think they have much tone either,
  6. correct me if im wrong but i think active pickups are wound much less to reduce the sound, therefore no background sound get in the way, only the string sound does. then a preamp is used so the signal is boosted so it is strong enough to be heard in an amp. a pure signal like this is affected much more with pedals and distortion
  7. i also said it like a retard because i hadnt put that i hadnt tried it sorry for the inconveinience of my retarded post
  8. just get rid of the casing, put stab and drive on your guitar front, leave the others in the cavity space you have
  9. Is this based on any experience, or is it a shot in the dark? IMO getting vaseline on something you plan to finish is a potential disaster. I don't want to appear rude if this is a tried and tested technique you've used successfully, but it sounds more to me like a guess, and one which could really ruin somebodys week if they actually followed it... it was just a quick retarded idea that came into my head with no thought into it. (special tip of the week)it does help repel hair dye from your forehead though
  10. kevan merged the thread with an old thread where this was discussed. oh thats cool, ta for the relpy
  11. try vaseline round it so it doesnt get over the edges
  12. Brian, why has my post been moved down around 12 posts and you have took over the thread, dont think im pissed off, im not i was just wondering
  13. whats everyone think about these things you can change all the strings completly in 1min 30 seconds. they have specially made strings which as soon as you put them in tune up to near exact pitch with only a quater or less of a turn needed at the bridge if thery arnt. these things need no tuning pegs either example on one of thier guitars
  14. jim dunlop do fret wire precut, go around some dealers asking if they have any
  15. i just use a super overdrive and with distortion on the amp so that the note sustains forever like feedback but its the same note
  16. i saw a guy today with a gibson/epiphone(both on headstock, a little odd) identical to a strat
  17. its a two way arguement, either you get an transistor amp with loads of distortion (which i think gets lost in the bass frequencys) or a valve which distorts real nicely and has a defined sound if i were you id go for a jcm800(valve) like many of the metal players use 2nd hand these go quite cheap
  18. k, but how would i get it the correct size, or is it acctully the correct size but just made so it fits on a screen and enlarges when printed
  19. hey, im a little stupid when it comes to computers n stuff, yesterday i downloaded voloview off guitarbuild.com and uploaded a b.c.rich on there as a tester, it came up as a small picture, im just wondering what the hell you can use these for, i would understand if you could print them off life size to make for a template but i still cant get my head around them. im very stupid so please feel free to slap me with a fish ta Oli
  20. im gonna buy a load of the glow in the dark stuff for my guitar
  21. ive seen pics of it on the net, its pretty decent but no where near as close as an electolyisis done chrome guitar
