Thoughtless 7

Can i change my name to psw, so i can be associated with the beast sustainer >_>

The recordings will mostly for fun and to play around with basic stuff just to get a taste of it really. Also, so we can jam and record a couple of things so we can work on them on a later date.

We could mic up the guitars in one of the out-buildings or stables. Infact, we were going to turn the old practice room (double garage) into a little area we can record things, but what would be the best way to record, a computer or a recorder?

Ok...i've just read through this topic (yes all 11 pages O_O) and i'm a little confued.

I'm on a budget of lets say £1000 (roughly $2500) . Now, i have the PC which can handle the software etc. but...what hardware would you suggest i should look into getting. I will be recording a full band (drums, guitar, vocals, etc.) I just want something that won't make the recordings sound muddy and...well...flat.

Sorry if this had been asked but...like i said, i am slightly confused at all the information and hardware...

I thought it would be something sharpe but i have already filed and sanded it with a very fine grit and it still happenes. Any other ideas?

I was thinking the SD 59' for the bridge and maybe the Jazz for the neck. I want something warm but with a bit of punch for the neck...

Ok...i want to change the pups on my Epi 7 string to something more Rock and Roll...i was thinking about going SD? Any suggestions?

The next problem is the D string on my V keeps breaking all the time. Even if i play it lightly? It always breaks down at the bridge end. Its a standard TOM and it goes through the body. Any ideas on why this might be happening?

Thanks!

PS. I couldn't decide where this should go so i put in it here, please move it if its in the wrong place!

How much are you looking to get for the Les Paul? PM me an estimate and it might have a new home =P

I'd like to see you build a 6 string, but thats just my opinion.

The only tips i found on the homepage were about setting up the bridge and inotation. Could you point me to the page you were refering to please Wes, cos i don't seem to be able to find it o_O

I wonder if the Nut has been cut wrong, that might be too high or low. I'd get an experts opinion on that one. Also, the neck could be slightly bowed? Do the frets look alright after the 12th fret? Are they crowned or flat, etc?

Would you be able to get soundclips?

Tried changing the guage of strings? might be too heavy/weak? Tried lowering, rising the bridge (it ifs a TOM)? etc.?

I think its just me but i like that colour XD reminds me of limeade. If i had the money for sipping to UK i would take it off your hands = (

Google 'hipshot trem'

Stick that in your google and smoke it =D

I agree with marksound, whatever im playing with, or playing thru, i still sound like i sound. I can give my Guitar, amp and effects to someone, they wont touch the knobs or anything, thele sound differant to me, all because of there playing style, its differant to mine.

Totally agree here.

The hardest thing i think to do is try and copy someone elses sound. The best thing to do imho is find your own sound.

Anyone have any suggestions on which books are good? I've tried searching amazon, but all i got was fixing cars XD

Thanks all!!

You should play some gigs up nearer Newcastle then i will come watch you r0><0rz! \m/

If you let her go, you can start a new. Also, i've found that things as a child are never as good as you think they are when you are an adult.

I'll try and explain...When you are a kid play certain games on old consoles seem hella fun. When you are older you see them, buy them play them for a few hours and its never as good as you remembered.

The choice is yours i guess...

I don't think it will do any damage. The Screws on my Ibanez are further out than that and it seems to be ok. (its also a 7 string).

Have you checked out Here they might have something you are looking for in your price range.

I don't mind Floyd Rose' bridges, infact i have one on my Kramer (7 string) and that thing can take a beating and a half and stay in tune, then again, so does the TOM on my V. The only bridge i don't like are the Vintage Fender styled trems...*shudders*

You know...as soon as i saw the topic title i knew it would be Drak

Sounds sweet man!

How hard would it be for me to make on of these? Also, how much would the material cost?

Any ideas are always welcome!

Cheers,

Rudder

I would of had the body if it hadn't had the pick-up slots cut =(

THIS IS A SOLID GUITAR...AND PRETTY HEAVY...LIKE A LESS PAUL!!!

A what what? XD

Anyone know where i can get one or if someone is selling one?

Cheers.
