People seem to really like Mastery bridges for Fender offsets. I think they're kind of pricey, though.

Yeah I'm not willing to spend $200 on an $800 guitar... yet. I was hoping for a Fender made Mustang Bridge but they seem to be sold out everywhere.

If you have the original bridge on your Fender offset almost any sum of money is worth replacing it. It is somehow the single worst thing ever invented. Just a hateful scar on an otherwise unblemished record for early Fender.

If you're in the UK or have a friend there, Staytrem bridges are very good and cheaper than Mastery. Unfortunately they stopped selling internationally a few months ago, though. The newer bridges from the American Pro series are ok, but I still had issues with strings popping out: https://darrenriley.com/store/fender-american-pro-jaguar-jazzmaster-bridge-7709942000/ Extortionist fucked around with this message at 00:01 on Jan 26, 2019 |

I managed to get a Staytrem bridge for my CP Jazzmaster just before they stopped shipping to the US, but it won't fit on the Jag. What gauge strings are you using on the AMPro Bridge?

Extortionist posted:11s. If the Staytrem doesn't fit I doubt the American Pro one would, though. The CP jazzmaster has an AOM bridge so the thimbles have screws which were used for bridge height adjustment. The Jag doesn't have those so dropping it in doesn't work.

What's another £150 on top of a pile of existing debt?... a Quik-Lok 926L double tier stand. It's amazingly sturdy, and offers the needed support for the mounted linnstrument. There's absolutely no bounce with the arms.  Finally... not a purchase, but a gift... Emanuel, the owner of Audio Modeling gifted me the SWAM double reed library, meaning that I now have oboe, cor anglais, contrabassoon and bassoon to my mix. Now to wire everything up and dive in... I may be gone some time. e: Updated image with everything turned on.  vvv Yup, I agree 100%. I tried cheaping out with some cheap tiger and stagg stands, and they just didn't cut it. One of them became structurally unstable after I bolted the monitor on it, and the others just gave too much bounce on the arms. fuctifino fucked around with this message at 00:24 on Jan 28, 2019 |

Having your gear sit comfortably so that it can be easily at reach is worth it, imho.

Would use the bottom tier for my yamaha keyboard that is pretty much just a MIDI controller and the top tier for my Minilogue. The Minilogue is ~20 inches, would it fit on the top tier? Awesome setup dude, looks like a lot of fun.

You can slide each arm left and right to be as close or as far apart as each other. I''ve also inserted a cheap tiger laptop stand onto it, but there are plenty of quiklok options to make custom rigs. quote:Awesome setup dude, looks like a lot of fun. Yup, it is. It's early days, but it's a fun music creating environment, for sure.

 Took a chance and bought this new online without ever playing one. It's the Squire J Mascis Jazzmaster. Very impressed for a Squire and I'm now wondering what I've been missing out on for that line. Satin neck finish it so nice. I do get jazzy from time to time but have no desire to bump up to 11s for the strings. There was some buzz/rattle at the bridge that other folks complain about as well, I added the ugly but effective buzz buster between the bridge and the trem and it took care of that. No negative effect on that precious tone.

Nice! I got one a few years ago the same way, bought it online without having played one. Haven't regretted it at all. It's a great guitar, I still play it all the time.

I was "biggest strings I can find" guy years ago but as I've progressed in ability/finesse these old man hands play better and longer on smaller gauges.

I went and bought a thing I've been looking at different models of for at least 5 years every month or so. A Strandberg Boden Classic. It's pretty sweet so far.

I was on the list (#49) for his original run of customs, but had to bail out because it took over a year to go like three spots and by that time I didn't have the $$$ anymore. Still gonna pick up one, prob a letchford 8 sig just cos I need multi scale - but if the non-Swedish ones aren't too bad, maybe I'll go for them since they're cheaper (who's making the Boden's now?)

I don't have pics to post yet, but I did a thing today: I've been trying to get in line for a JEM7V. The supply seems to be dwindling. A few hours ago I sourced one (a new one) and placed the order. I won't likely receive it until early March but I am in the order queue and I will receive one. I'm dying to get my hands on it. I'll come back with pictures and stuff if all goes to plan. I've never put this much "buy a used car" monies into an instrument before. If you know how much I love Ibanez RG guitars and the JEM in particular, you'll understand why this one is very important to me. Stand by to stand by.

It finally happened.   Got all the pieces of my new Denon setup in; 2 SC5000 and the x1800 mixer. It's absolutely fantastic. Navigating using the touch screens is awesome and I will be so glad to remove my laptop from the equation. I'm having a slight tinge of buyer's remorse, mostly because I was having a hella good time just spinning vinyl, but also because I already had all my digital stuff sorted out in Serato and all I need for that is my Numark NS6 ii. I'm sure I'll change my tune once I finally get through the arduous task of moving music, and adding artwork and getting everything customized ~just right~.

I wish there were something like a "casual" DJ. That poo poo requires so much detail work, and I'd much rather bash a guitar or make weird whale farts with a synth to get something approaching music than crate diving, beatmatching, sample-tweaking, and reading a crowd. Playlists? That I can do. Actually DJing? gently caress no. Gonna leave that poo poo to the pros.

You can skip everything involving an audience and call it producing.
