    OK. Going to look slightly under your budget so you have a few pounds leftover to take it to a local tech for a solid setup.

    Prefer active or passive pickups, or not sure/don’t care?

    Okay, will link some cool options to check out in the next 24 hrs…

    £600 is more than enough to get a nice all-around axe. Are you set on new, or would a gently used instrument work for you, too? Any color or finish preferences?

    No, not at all. Put your rough budget in here and what kinds of things you look for in a guitar and I’ll see if I can find you a few options you can look at. Top quality costs top dollar, but there are plenty of solid, budget-minded guitars out there with Floyds that you can yank on like Vai and...

    There are few bridges in the world that stay in tune as rock-solidly as any properly set up Floyd Rose.

    Stringing issues

    If you don’t have a string winder, get one. They’re like $2.

    Stringing issues

    Shouldn’t be an issue if you have enough winds on the peg. Typically when you don’t have locking tuners (an upgrade I *highly recommend* for ANY guitar!), you want at least two winds on wound strings (EAD) and 4 or 5 on plain strings. If the winding is removed from one of your low strings, to...

    Stringing issues

    It’s not age. I have an acoustic that was built in 1973, and it’s a tuning tank. Tell us a little more. Is this a steel or nylon string acoustic guitar, for starters? Did you change the strings? Are string changes something you’re used to (sorry, I don’t know your level of experience)?

    Herman li's tone

    It’s an AxeFX3 tone, so I can’t try it on my 2XL+. Oh well.

    Community riff bug?

    In another thread, it was stated they’re going to do an overhaul/upgrade of the whole site soon that should address all the gremlins.

    What process should I go through to audition a bass player?

    Ids has a lot of good info here. If you’re an original band, there are two routes you can go – choose a handful of fairly easy covers and have him or her learn them for audition, or give them a solid demo of your own stuff to learn. If you don’t have a good, solid recording of your tunes that’s...

    lord of the rings soundtrack

    As far as I’m concerned, this is the single best film soundtrack in cinema history. It’s one of the only soundtracks I will listen to over and over and over again. Howard Shore’s Magnum Opus, and the brilliance for which he will be remembered long after he’s dead. John Williams is the king of...

    Buried Alive Axe fx 3

    Easier yes, overall not that hard if you have an AxeFX, a good ear, and patience, but the cabs are a vital part of that sound.

    Every one of my guitars was stolen today.

    So sorry, brother. Hope things turn around for you soon.

    Buried Alive Axe fx 3

    @andrew, the Cab Packs are just the speaker cabinets and microphones, not the amps, settings, and effects.

    Floyd rose worK

    My black 1990 RG550 has been in limbo – it currently has 09-46’s on it, tuned to Drop Eb. I’ll be swapping to 11-48s and going for D standard on it, so there will be a number of things covered. Not sure I’ll include intonation, because (especially on a Floyd) that’s long, tedious, and fairly...

    App to Slow the tempo (?)

    Others will chime in with free or cheaper solutions, and they may work just as well. I bought this app at full price a couple years ago, and I have not been disappointed with it and found it worth every penny.

    The Pharaoh’s Revenge

    That’s a great start – I’m interested, for sure. Following that intro with the whole song’s gonna be a lot of work :-).
