    Yeah, I think we might end up doing that honestly. Oh man, I completely get you there! I do the same thing, and I hated not being able to work on drop stuff! It's always that thing of wanting to do something right when you can't, it's the worst!

    Needing Opinions on Next Rockstar Student Award

    Once I get a few things sorted over here, I will be more than happy to donate because I really think that this Rockstar award is such an awesome idea and a great motivational boost for everyone.

    Aw man, that sucks! Hoping things go well and you get an answer soon!! Originally I was gonna try get a refund for mine until the guy got back to me and straight up refused, despite there being a clear fault (As we now know for certain from repair). So we took the plunge to see if it could be...

    Needing Opinions on Next Rockstar Student Award

    I think it's definitely worth giving it a shot as a bit of trial and error, 4 months could be possible.

    This just blows my mind

    This!! I've gotten this a lot, particularly recently when I was working on economy picking. First few days, I just could not wrap my head (or fingers) around it, started driving me absolutely crazy, so I went off to play something else for a bit. Came back to it as my college deadline for a...

    So damn hyped!! I just got my guitar back from being repaired as we decided it was at least worth a shot, and I'm so happy to say that it finally works!! Something about some dodgy wiring and dirty pots, but it's all been sorted and now it sings like it's meant to, and the sustainiac holds...

    Concerns about my Syn Custom S

    I'll see if we can have another look at the knobs again on the board, just to be 100% sure. Unfortunately, it's hard to find a brand new model in store around here since there's not many places around that sell them here (plus lockdown is a pain right now). We might've just found someone who...

    Concerns about my Syn Custom S

    Yeah, we did have a bit of a look at them, but it didn't do anything unfortunately and we didn't wanna mess with them too much just in case.

    Comment by 'Matt Wildcat' in media '1st Attempt at Fingerpicking - "Good Riddance"'

    I'll give that one a go! My college music teacher wants me to try Romance d'amour, so that's gonna be fun XD It's definitely really strange, but I've been keeping at it over the last few days and I think I've gotten a lot better, I just gotta stop rushing ahead of myself and getting all mixed...

    Concerns about my Syn Custom S

    Alright, here's an update. So I've given it a bit more of a play about to see what I could do and if things would improve. More batteries were tried, the sustaniac height has been adjusted, we took the back off and put some switch cleaner in the switches and pots to see if there'd be anything...

    Yeah, mine is saying I have to pay shipping to the UK. I've sent them an email asking if it's supposed to be like that and if I do pay, would it be refunded. I'm not going ahead with anything until I know what's going on for certain.

    Concerns about my Syn Custom S

    Possibly. I've just had another crack at it, and there was a moment where it did seem to work, but then it pretty much just died again. Then it started making horrible feedback-like noises, and even when we switched it all off it kept doing it. Is that normal? The height of the pickup was...

    Concerns about my Syn Custom S

    We're certainly considering it if we can't get it working, or at least sending the guy a message. I was a bit worried when I took the whammy bar off to put it in the case and part of it that held it in place fell into the body, so we had to pull it out from the back.

    Concerns about my Syn Custom S

    Ahh, gotcha. My worry with the tone is it doesn't seem to affect the bridge pickup. Is this normal? I'll dig out another cable and see if that helps! It was Facebook Marketplace. Listing said it had been used a fair bit, but everything worked as intended.

    Concerns about my Syn Custom S

    I'll give it a try and see how that goes!

    Concerns about my Syn Custom S

    I've just gotten my dad to look at it (He knows wayyyy more than I do about the tech side of things), he's tried two different brand new 9V batteries with no difference, and the wiring looks to be okay. The switch cleaner made a small difference where the volume knob no longer screeches when...

    Concerns about my Syn Custom S

    Hi all, Yesterday, I purchased a Syn Gates Custom-S, the black and gold glossy model. This was second-hand, and for a fairly reasonable price. The seller had owned it for a fair while, but hadn't played it properly for a bit since he had others, hence why he sold it. At first I thought it...

    Favourite A7X song at the moment for y'all?

    It's so hard to choose! Self-titled has always been my favourite album, but I've been going through a bit of a City of Evil thing right now with M.I.A, Burn It Down and Strength Of The World. I think Roman Sky and Fermi Paradox deserve mentions here though, too! Always gonna be some of my...

    Now that I'm doing a lot better, I'm finally getting back into the swing of things! Planning on really going through all the early lessons again to get myself fully back to speed. Got a few ideas for some songs I wanna learn too, so hopefully I'll have something to share soon!
