This is the first I'm seeing the thread, Lt. Ashcat, but I put on the tracks, took a couple bong rips and am currently enjoying the hell outta this stuff.

+1 for "The Low Spark of High-Heeled Boys"! "Somewhere Over The Rainbow" C____________Em_______________F___Fm___C___C7 Somewhere- over the rainbow, way up high F_______Fm__C__________A7_______Dm7_____G7_C_ There's- a- land. that I heard of, once in a lullaby. Disclaimer: I took these chords from an ear worm whilst driving home from work along the world's largest orbital car park and augmented them by strumming through them when I arrived. Although I have written two major to minors, I suspect that I've exercised "artistic" licence with the first one. Whatever, it worked for me! Where'd you get your 'artistic licence', a box of cracker jacks? I'm kidding of course, but yeah, the 2nd maj-min is legit

Well, when you dive it, there is no difference, it is not interfering or touching anything. When you pull up, there is definitely more resistance, like it's maybe twice as hard to pull up as to dive. It's ok, though, unless youre Jeff Beck. Overall, if you have issues with pushing the trem sharp with your palm, you should get it. They are cheap and dont require visible mods to the guitar. Easy to put on, easy to adjust. Has zero effect on the playability and tone of the guitar, except when pulling up (and then, the difference is only the added resistance in the pull). So you do not hear spring of block moving maybe when you use it,creating somewhat similar effect like springs on tremolo? Ok,I personally would use it when recording rhythm guitar for little bit more stability,and when changing strings.I hate when tremolo sink all the way down. \m/ No. There is *absolutely zero effect* with this ESB stablizer, except the resistance of pulling up on the whammy or resistance to your palm, pushing the tremolo sharp. It is not connected to the trem block, except to be barely touching it. This *is* different from some of the other tremolo stabilizers.

#3 I use a trem stopper that looks just like that ESP that you linked to. I love it. It's got enough pressure that your palm wont push you sharp, but you can still pull up. OTOH, I noticed, the other day that my trem block isnt touching it, anymore (maybe cuz i changed to a different brand of strings or sth). And I havent really noticed myself pushing it sharp. I've been playing alot with palm muting lately, so I'd think that I'd've had the sharpening problem... Maybe my technique is getting better, I've been prakking like a mofo, lately. So it worked good for you.Do you noticed maybe stiffness in using tremolo if you use it with tremolo block turned on?Or it is more or less the same? Cheers.

I've purposely left mine un-adjusted (basically it is having zero effect) cuz we're playing Helter Skelter in my band and am ramming my palm into it to get that out of tune sound

Alabama Shakes - I Found You
This is a new favorite band. I love the way the two guitars play, together. And her singing is incredible.

Ah, I might remember that thread. The curvy-ness of the horns reminds me of a Burns. Ash sees a sunburst and he wants to paint it black

The next thing is the volume discrepancy between the single coils and the P90. It's actually not too bad, but I would like to at least try to even it up a little more. Couldntcha just play with the pickup height a little?

Seems like it would be easy to just get the snap part of a 9v and hook it to a jack, which would receive the juice from a wall wart. Just hook it up temporary to see how it works (shud be fine, but I'm kinda dum, electrically).
Hopefully, a smarter guy will tell us if it's ok to have wall wart juice and a 9v battery, in parallel. I dunno, maybe that would overcharge the battery, make it splode, or something...

Well, now B4njo has reminded me of something that has me feeling like I'm a bit to blame for Sumgai's possibly unhealthy eating habits: When Sumgai and ASmith came to visit, we stopped into a local pizza establishment, where I'm known by name. It was actually past closing time (cuz we lingered a little long at a local watering hole, listening to heavy metal band), but we were able to get into the pizza joint and got not only our pie, but the owner gifted us with an extra pizza, bread sticks and 3 things of chicken wings!

Yeah, angled plug is the goal, here. Hmm, here's a pic like you mention. That could work. I like the free price

That's the one. I think I recall the setting being LesPaul->Plexi. Of course, we were sharing my Bassman 100, so there is some additional coloration going on.

Welp, that was the funniest description of a heart problem I've ever heard! "Serious as a heart attack"? Not with Sumgais! I think for your chainsaw problem, they could just install another Defibrillator, right next to it but wired 180* OOP . Best thoughts, Doug

Traffic - Low Spark Of High Heeled Boys My band is playing this one, for our next show, which I'm pretty psyched about. We have an excellent keyboardist, but this doesnt actually have a guitar in it, so I'm playing kind of a combo of the sax and piano parts. Gonna rip a fairly huge solo, in between a verse This is a cool maj-min thing, where you have the verses are a vamp on Dm and then the chorus goes happy to D maj: Dm (a-c-dm) If you had just a minute to breathe And they granted you one final wish Would you ask for something like another chance? Or something sim'lar as this? Don't worry too much It'll happen to you As sure as your sorrows are joys
DA-CGF And the thing that disturbs you is only the sound of The low spark of high-heeled boys

JFP, - Very cool amp grills
- I'd engineer somekind of failsafe for when the drummer comes stumbling through and knocks the head off, instead of just relying on the weight of the head to hold the 2x4s down
- I take three for my heartache
1. Right? 2. lol 3. And the men who hold high places must be the ones who start

radioKDUG.com/2014/12/guitar-hangers-on-ampI'm not sure if this would work on a regular half-stack, cuz of the height, but I can hang a bass on here, too, with this extra tall Bassman 'pyramid' cab. Just a couple cheap hangers from Wally World and a couple pieces of 2X4, weighed down by the Bassman 100 head (the Bassman was heavy enough, the Peavey PA was added, after)

Pink Floyd - San Tropez (Waters) D7 Gmaj7 As I reach for a peach Gm6 Slide a line down behind a sofa in Saz Tropez Gmaj7 Breaking a stick with a brick on the sand Gm6 Riding a wave in the wake of an old sedan G7 Sleeping alone in the drone of the darkness A7 Scratched by the sand that fell from my love C7 Deep in my dreams and I still hear her calling D If you're alone, I'll come home
Gmaj7 Backward and homebound, the pigeon, the dove Gm6 Gone with the wind and the rain on an airplane Gmaj7 Born in a home with no silver spoon Gm6 I'm drinking champagne like a good tycoon G7 Sooner than wait for a break in the weather A7 I'll gather my far flung thoughts together C7 Speeding away on a wind to a new day D If you're alone, I'll come home

For me (Strat HSS), it's N = clean, rhythm; B = distortion, leads. Although, I hardly ever play N by itself, because of hum and also, I like the N+M sound. I'll go N+B for tele twang.
