    Having so much neck/body contact reminds me of the Teuffel Tesla for which they claim Which might be good for a bass guitar .

    Here's Brian's tutorial on truss rod adjustment: http://www.projectguitar.com/tut/trussadjust.htm and another http://www.athensmusician.net/archive/2001...neimbody1.shtml By extra, I meant more relief, i.e., loosen (counter-clockwise?) the truss rod. Be careful not to accidentally loosen it all the way!

    This is probably too obvious but it wasn't in your list of things you tried. Have you played around with the truss rod adjustment? I've "cured" fret buzz in the 3rd-5th fret area with extra relief (more than I'd normally like sometimes .)

    Vieux? Babelfish says it means "old man." Hmm... A program for an old man with a disregard for others' feelings?

    I believe it's called G-Code.

    Did you try the "Pro," the "MultiStrip" or the regular?
  7. jbkim
    Have you seen those cheesy infomercials for "Ready Strip?" (non-toxic, yada, yada.) I've seen them use it on home improvment shows like "This Old House" and it seems to really work (on doors and such.) I checked their website and they have the Pro or their MultiStrip which supposedly works for urethanes too. I'm waiting for it to get warmer to give it a try... but you can try it first and be the guinea pig .

    The lower horn reminds me of Florida . The wood looks beautiful.

    Oooh, after reading the description of it, it sounds pretty cool... especially the "self-cancelling" aspect of it.

    How about explicate? Any more "e" synonyms?

    Um, you guys know that canuckguitarist just started sweep picking a couple of weeks ago, right? You should at least notate up/down strokes for those tabs you posted as it's not intuitive for those that's just starting out (the purpose of this thread.)

    Something like this: v v v ^ ^ ^ |---------12-17p12---------------------| |-----13-------------13----------------| |-14--------------------14-------------| |--------------------------------------| |--------------------------------------| |--------------------------------------| That's how I'd play it as a sweep... but don't let my style cloud your way. You should make your own decision . What you posted above is not sweeping on the up stroke... in fact you alternate on the last notes.

    Heh, heh, it's a creepy likeness of him isn't it?
  14. jbkim
    And your credit card number while you're at it .

    But isn't it 3 courses of 4 strings? http://www.12stringbass.net/ Edit: or is it 4 courses of 3 string each anyway it'd be like playing a 4 string in terms of complexity.
  16. jbkim
    Oh, I see. Try it as VVV^P^^

    Using this fret calculator: http://www.buildyourguitar.com/resources/f...c/jscrptclc.htm it's 17.805 inches from the nut to fret 22.
  18. jbkim
    Ugh, quicktime movies crashes my laptop . Your sweep on the down stroke looks good but I can't tell from the video if you're picking at all on the up stroke. Other than that, you're ready to proceed to 4,5,6 string sweeps .

    If you haven't played on a guitar with jumbo frets, maybe go to a store and ask to play one with jumbo frets to see if you like it... but beware what some call jumbo has been pretty low from what I've experienced. Fret calculator: http://www.buildyourguitar.com/resources/f...c/jscrptclc.htm

    Half the scale length? That's the 12th fret ain't it? Probably 3/4 of the scale length for the 24th fret.
  21. jbkim
    You can try contacting the manufacterers directly but I have a feeling you'd have to buy in quantities of several thousand each... which probably'd be ok if that's what you want .

    The owner posted this somewhere else: http://www.geocities.com/alnkathynz/nerve It looks like it uses a "traditional" Kahler type bridge but the "tuners" looks very interesting to me. Anyone seen these before? Any info on the company?
  23. jbkim
    ... or two steinberger L's .
  24. jbkim
    There's still over 12 hours as I type this, sniping will occur when there's a few seconds left.
  25. jbkim
    Heh, heh. Yeah, I know how they sound and have heard that clip (I'm the one that posted that link to http://www.largesound.com/ originally in that other thread .) I/we want to hear your playing .
