    "The Real Me" bass cover

    I know I'm late to the party, but very well done! I'd love to hear you bang out some Yes with that thing.  Yours is No Disgrace or the like! Cheers

    Silly humbucker wiring question

    Hi all, When I look at most of the HxH/3-Way switch wiring diagrams out there, I usually see the hot wire going to the 3-Way switch, and the ground going to the pot.  But then I also see the 3-Way switch also being grounded to the pot.  Is there any reason not to connect the ground wires to the...

    2 F Hole Strat in the making!

    Wow, that looks great!  I really like the double binding and the color of the hardware with that wood.  At first, I thought there was a shadow on the headstock, lol. Is it uncomfortable without the tummy cut, etc.?  And no string tees, huh? Congrats!

    HSS suggestions

    I have Kinmans in my MIM Strat.  If I get some time tonight, I'll record some clean riffs of the neck and middle and post them for you.  I'll have to dig up which model I bought - it was years ago. I like them, although the bridge pup is a little twangy for my taste.  That won't be a problem...

    Warmoth Jam #14 (?)

    I promise to do a better mix with the final than I did with my solo.  I'm not sure what I was thinking/hearing at the time!    :icon_scratch: It's funny, I've found myself humming the riff in my head from time to time. :headbang:

    Warmoth Jam #14 (?)

    Since Doughboy hasn't posted a backing track, I hope it's OK for me to give it a try.  I believe that 80's hair was requested, so I gave it my best. Here are the specifics: 32 Bars It's in A 120bpm Here's a link to the backing track: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?59txxxx9hlim9sw If...

    Warmoth Jam #13 - LUCKY 13

    I'm definitely in on the next one. I just couldn't come up with anything decent for #13.

    Warmoth Jam #13 - LUCKY 13

    Gah.  I'm too embarrassed to post anything I've as of yet, but I'll keep trying.  I guess you've extended the deadline? I do enjoy the idea though.  I have a thought for the next one, which I'll PM to Doughboy later.

    Warmoth Jam #13 - LUCKY 13

    I jammed along with it yesterday, but without any real success.  I'll keep trying, but I'm simply not a good soloist.  :tard:  If I can come up with something I'm not too ashamed of, I'll post it tonight.

    Custom / retrofit parts supplier database

    http://www.guitarheads.net/ - I've bought a bunch of stuff from them.  Not the prettiest site or the highest quality stuff, but low prices and the only place I could find a gold 12-string stop bar & tail piece.

    Warmoth Jam Eleven (DON'T TOUCH IT. Don't Point Even.)

    I may at that.  But this backing track appeals to me much more.

    Warmoth Jam Eleven (DON'T TOUCH IT. Don't Point Even.)

    I can't believe I missed this!  I never peeked in this forum until last night.  I really like this track.  I may throw down some licks to it, even though it's done. What a great idea.

    Looking for a quick tutorial

    P = I * E and E = I * R right?  Does Ohm's Law apply to AC as well as DC?

    Looking for a quick tutorial

    jimh, Thank you, thank you, thank you!  :icon_biggrin:  I had completely forgotten that impedance :: resistance as AC :: DC.  In my defense, I took Electronics I and II over two decades ago. So to summarize and clarify, First I need to find the output transformer details on the VS65r (which...

    Looking for a quick tutorial

    Hi all, Can anyone point me toward a site or blog that offers a quick tutorial about the electronics of guitar speakers and cabinets?  I have a reasonable understanding of electronics (RMS stands for Root Mean Square, doesn't it?), I know the difference between series and parallel, but I don't...
