Then the program crashed when i went to add more frequencies to the test schedule. So i gave up and emailed support then went home because I wanted to work on it more on monday. Calibration is very much like recording guitar in that you can try to set things up exactly the same as you did last time and things will sound completely different for no reason.

I can only assume that you double checked the directionality if all your cables and made sure the correct number of ferrite beads were on each power supply?

That reminds me I was getting some fret buzz and when I looked at the string it was “bent.” You can see the top E and the A right behind it. I’ve never seen that before. WTF.

Banjo spikes are absolutely a thing but they aren't useful for guitars, just for changing the key of the short drone string on a banjo when using a capo.

String now dead and needs changing.

Yeah, as a Scruggs style banjo player, these are very real and normal - since many times the capo only fits on the first four strings, and not the fifth, you end up spiking that string in order to match where you've capod. In bluegrass, we switch keys frequently, often every song at a jam, and it allows banjo players to retune quickly without having to use the tuner to do that.

I figured from the description that it was a banjo thing, but as a bass player/guitarist, putting a nail in your fretboard seems very destructive for the slight benefit. I mean, just buy 12 different banjos if you want all the keys. Also a truck to haul them. But a pickup should be mandatory anyway.

The fun thing about banjo spikes is that they're basically the same as model railroad spikes.

Can't you just use one of them Line 6 acoustics from the 2000s? It had a banjo setting, but everything else sounded like a banjo anyway

Watching good guitar techs do set-ups and work is really satisfying and teaches you some tips and tricks. I've been posting some guitar repair stuff over in the DIY thread would a separate thread for guitar set up/repair tips and tricks be useful or just keep popping them in there?

Still trying to figure out of this is a real name or a typo, or a typo that became the real name Rhapsoby? That has to have been Rhapsody at some point and then someone screwed up the logo, but there are other models from a span of years with that name and logo. Also wondering what happened to the y, the other logos have a normal looking y at least.

I always wondered what the point of coursed strings was on electric mandos. Other than just making it feel right or to better replicate being slightly out of tune like a real one.

I’ve learned over the past few weeks that our leading man is likely QAnon  I’m probably the stupid one here for even being in this band lol, and now I have to find a way out that doesn’t piss of the members I like. I was fine with his “I’m in my mid 40’s and stuck in 2000” musical tastes (his favorite bands are korn, KSE, and 5FDP). I could work around every song having identical structures and ~120bpm. I even grudgingly put up with his “we’re an original band, our set list is 5 originals and 25 covers because that’s how you get crowds to pay money, and our set will go in between my cover band’s dual 2 hour sets”. But once he started spamming our official band stuff with all this “save the children” crap and is demanding we donate proceeds to those groups, I’m realizing that no, I really can’t put up with that.

I quit a band earlier this year for similar reasons (chud drummer). He was a very good drummer and singer, but I just couldn't stand to be around him any more - wouldn't shut up about his awful political opinions. Also, they wanted to rehearse inside. I was like, I'm not risking my life to be around people like that.

I was working with this dude who runs a pedal company and he was nice enough until he was like “my dude have you heard of saving the children?” and then vomited a qdump on me. Noped the gently caress out of that relationship pretty fast.

Q people are super depressing to me. I heard one all in one conversation that JFK jr is alive and trying to help Trump overthrow the deep state, John McCain didn’t have cancer and was given the choice between death or his crimes being exposed, and you can’t trust anonymous unnamed sources.

five finger death punch have kinda surpassed nickelback as the common punching bag in rock music, but i for one think it's commendable that they make songs exclusively for dudes with active restraining orders against them
