  10. Dummy pickup

    I was under the impression that to get full humbucking both coils would have to have the same number of windings. I've seen half-humbuckers (one coil has less windings) on some website. I'll look for it.

    Edit: Ugh, I didn't find the website and I don't feeling like searching for it :D

  12. Lookin' for a new amp....

    Of those listed, I'd probaly go for the "Line 6 Flextone III" because of all the effects, etc. built-in but you'd need to tack on a few hundred dollars for a FBV series foot controller... or you can research if the Behringer FCB1010 would work with it.

    Edit: Oops, nevermind... it looks like the FBV uses RJ-45 connectors, not the midi DIN.

    Heh, it took all of 4 seconds to download it :D. Still need to work on that right hand (picking hand) technique, muting and such. It almost has a wide open strumming feel like you'd do for folk acoustic guitar, if ya know what I mean B).

  24. Help With Fretboard!

    If you feel comfortable with JavaScript, just save that online version and edit it to get rid of that 24 fret limitation.

    If you're comfortable with perl, I have this script that I use:

    #!/usr/bin/perl

# converted to perl from the

# C-program for calculating fret distances for any scale length

# Written by Chris St. Pierre

# http://www.buildyourguitar.com/resources/tips/fretdist.htm

use strict;

my ($distance, $scale, $location, $scaling_factor, $num_frets);


$scaling_factor = 0;

$distance = 0;


if ($#ARGV > -1) {

  $scale = $ARGV[0];

  $num_frets = $ARGV[1] ? $ARGV[1] : 24;

} else {

  printf ("Enter the scale desired: ");

  $scale = <STDIN>;

  printf ("\nEnter the number of frets: ");

  $num_frets = <STDIN>;

}


printf("\nFret | Dist bet. frets | Dist to Nut\n");

printf("------------------------------------\n");

my $magic = 2**(1/12);

$magic /= ($magic - 1);

foreach my $current_fret (1 .. $num_frets) {

  $location = $scale - $distance;

  $scaling_factor = $location / $magic;

  $distance += $scaling_factor;

  printf("%4d: %10.3f %15.3f\n", $current_fret, $scaling_factor, $distance);

}

printf("=================================\n");

    I hope I copy-n-pasted that correctly :D.

    There's also an excel spreadsheet around on that page where I got that C-program:

  25. Are you in a band?

    I haven't been in ten years :D.

    We used to be called TeraHertz (THz)... I absolutely HATED that name :DB).

    Nope, no band homepage... but I have some videos.

    My old singer worshipped Lane Staley (RIP) and we had two guitarists... so I described the style of our music as "Alice in Queensryche" :D.
