Strange.... someone sent me an AMZN gift voucher so I added a set of these strings to an order I placed. But it said the strings did not qualify for...

I've known a few younger players who are fanatical about extreme low actions on their solid body guitars. 1mm at the 24th fret. It's difficult to...

I’m curious - the Stanford website says it has a mahogany neck, but Thomann says it’s maple, and the Thomann photos show maple. What is yours? ...

\ That looks really clean and tidy. Did you install the bumblebee caps yourself?

You have 4 options: 1. Leave it with low action and set up the way you have and have it buzz. 2. Try to tweak the set up so you can still have it...

Fender has instructions for setup on their website. I found them very helpful. Tele: ...

Nailed that one. Time was really good. Next one: maybe read it an octave up, first, before you memorize it.

I do not want to hurt your religious feelings but I think a lot of rituals and behaviors in churches in different countries and different streams of...

I don't plan to change the pickups yet. I don't have a direct comparison with others, but they sound very good. I have calculated that if I went...

Yes, I'm very happy with this guitar so far. Killer guitar for the price...

The Syrians are a heretical sect but I'll give that a listen one of these days. I like the russian stuff the best myself. The Greek is good. Some...

Bahaha, hire a few drummers at random and get back to me on that. Most people have shit meter.

This rocks. Louis Hayes and Sam Jones rock. Hal Galper calls it the "Big Beat" when he describes his time with Cannonball. ...

They have very nice music at least. Not the very physical trance ecstacy and speaking in tongues of the gospel music of the "sanctified" Baptist...

yes, eastern orthodox!!!

He also plays a 7. If this one were a 7 string, I’d have bought it the day it was posted. These are outstanding guitars, 6 or 7 - somebody buy it!!!

"Sounding" and "feeling" like a "real amp" are debatable, especially when it comes to individual tolerance of latency. But... I would say the...

so silly

Miller? Or are you talking about that Jewish sect founded by the followers of that rabbi and carpenter from Nazareth?

It took me a while to figure out how to update the thing to firmware version 2.40. (Better "Read the FCKin' manual!" a.k.a. RTFM applies to myself as...

Ok, I will go jack 1 lick right now.

Steal some of that vocab, my dude

why not just add a kingsley maiden preamp pedal to an existing solid state setup? IMO, you're always better off having the tubes external...

I'm with BH on this; I like the old fashioned sound of dim7. If you're going to dim7, study it out, and put it into service. Gmaj6 - Bbdim7 -...

How about a 175T :cool:

I got all tripped up with the ghost note in the beginning of Dewey Square and figured it was too soon for me.

Everyone needs to straighten out and go Christian. :pride:

Part of the reason I want to do one that’s new for me. So I’ll actually do it

Breh, noone did Dewey Square at all. I should go back and redo my take. I have Segment under my fingers now for Open Studio. But right now I'm so...

Yeah, I like the Mike sets. The contrast between his approach and Frank's, and how they blend them, is interesting. Plus I always enjoy Mike's...

Do you think how the discussion started was comfortable for me? And my question was sincere, I am really interested in real life experiences beyond...

There is no ideal guitar for us gearaholics. Only many possibilities,Lol! And Jack Z has maybe the most experience in this field.

Yes, thanks NYC CHAZ! You and the other two who replied have been helpful and the answers are consistent. Thanks! :smile-new:

Sorry, I changed it because I thought I was being long-winded. Yes, that's accurate. But, as I said before, it's probably far easier to type M7...

Should have made more ruckus than the winers I guess...

Although I understand and respect Mike's wishes, more's the pity for those of us who DO greatly like to see and hear Mike play. Doug

You're free to be ignorant and I’m free to point it out. Don’t see what’s woke about that.

Yeah, Frank posted on this thread a while ago it’s what Mike wants. It’s not like the trolls are getting any nicer.

Who'd have guessed that a thread about guitar interiors could act as a woke-up call... :doh:

Which will no longer be a Casino Coupé? ;)

Mark Campellone uses a full-length strip, not just small cleats. Very obvious in the photos of his builds.

What's the rumpus? I wouldn't do it to a clean '50s or '60s version, simply because they are worth too much money. Makes sense for one made after...

I couldn't catch the show live last night .I went to watch it today and it was not posted like it usually is.Then i remembered Mike Stern was the...

Romain Vuillemin is playing at Sunset-Sunrise tomorrow, 4 October. Great guitarist.

I would learn Parker, then Davis.

Yeah it makes sense to reinforce the place most likely to split from merely existing under pressure.

I used to wonder why Lucky Peterson had this kinda dumbass grin on his face the whole time he was playing. Like a fake smile almost permanently...

Still looking!

If I remember correctly some guitar companies/shops use that type of cleat to reinforce the seam between the two back/top pieces. More structurally...

Didn't you have a kind of endorsement with Seventy Seven some time ago ? I seem to remember you were quite happy with the guitar (Exrubato Jazz ??)

Whew. Saw this comment and thought you were talking about me.

I would agree, coming up on gig number 25 for this year. It all smooths out the more you do it. I used to read charts on stage but stopped that...

You are trying too hard to make it a thing, which makes other people uncomfortable and makes you seem less sincere.

I don't want to share that with you. I think you want to use it as a tit for tat argument as to why you are better to speak about the African...

Thanks for checking in. As far as plans, I'm just going to work through this as warmup until I finish the book. I'll get better at reading in the...

This is easy. You haven't done enough gigs.

In case this is directed at me: This is still intellectual concepts. I had asked for your real world experiences with people of color. And I am...

That's interesting, I thought JP was playing 16" Molls. I guess I was wrong.

I dragged my feet some time, pondering whether I have the necessary skills and time. Finally took it to a guitar tech who has done countless such...

Le Piano Vache in the Latin Quartier has jazz on Monday nights. Caught Adrian Moingard trio a few years ago. Like sitting in someones living room.

Don't you have two parts for Chasin the Bird? How does that work when learning a head?

First off, I think it's common to find that you play differently in different situations. At home is easy. At home, with a bassist, a little harder....

Which brings up a question. How do you know that a vintage guitar's headstock wasn't previously repaired by a skilled luthier? If it's not...

I have original Pro Plec 358s that are significantly smaller than Fender 358s. I'll post some photos, if not when I get home later today, then...

Oh, I thought cleats were just for repairs. Good to know.

The stupid way Gibson & al. insist on building their necks, instead of adding invisible reinforcements during construction, broken headstocks are...

surprised i still have this! last bump

lol, I like bats. They have excellent hearing. Ultrasonic bebop.

It's not a repair. There are cleats on the center seam. You can also see one on the bottom.

It sounds like it's also performance related. You have stuff inside you, but you have a hard time getting it out on stage. That's totally common, and...

noticed enough of a difference that ill never play a hex core string again.

Very cool. Looks like a creepy attic space in an old house. Check for bats. ?

joking right ??

I see a repair on the top too.

I hear you, I'm coming from a similar place. Good to speak up, though. Anyway, here's a (blurry) picture of a big ball of crap that was in my...

Lowered to $4K

Thanks for that Nice to know you can be way ahead of the game and still be a good person (by all accounts Jimi was like that too)

And there’s the most important lesson to be learned. It’s much cheaper, easier, and better to do it right the first time than it is to do it again...

My original Pro Plec 358 are pretty much exactly the same size as he Fender 358. These new ones are a little wider and around 3mm taller.

Yeah it's a contrafact to How High The Moon. Which is a staple in my band, so I want to eventually learn the Parker head for licks. I voted for...

Yeah, it's a cool vid! Thanks for the bump!

Isn't that "How High The Moon." Vote for Bop Head Number 4 here: Bebop heads: no. 4

This is the dorkiest thing I've ever seen. I absolutely love it.

Chet Baker. Just listen to this intro. Perfect. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R_f_mMJAezM

Record yourself. Learn your own licks.

On one hand, I feel like I should have said nothing, this thread sucks now. On the other hand, I know you don't get why blackface is offensive, so I...

How much bigger? My Goldilocks size is the Fender 358. I've found the Pro Plec 358 to be too small. This makes me want to give it a second whirl.

If nobody who did any work on this guitar and can still be contacted is aware of any brace issues, is it possible that this repair was in fact done...

Congratulations! I think you did good! It looks killer!

This looks like a keeper. If it's been stable 20 years, I'd just play it and enjoy it.
