PSA: Lots of guitarists have issues with ED—“Electromagnetic Dysfunction”. The wiring’s there, but the pickup doesn’t work the way it should, and output is sporadic. Even if you get a decent signal,...
I forgot long ago, but occasionally something by flashes back:)
Like going into pop, indie rock, hiphop, you name it. The Branford quote of course applies to people who want to go down the route of jazz as opposed to any other music. And that Forman quote...
And by far, the best of the best: Fender “Integrated Circuit” capacitors. Now there is no such thing. There is, oddly enough a company called “Illinois Capacitor”. Hmmmmm... Here is a...
