    Guitar noise

    I would check grounds first. Especially the one in the tail stop. When you say noise is it the 60/50 cycle hum? Did you get the Epiphone new or used? Does the noise go away or change if rest your palm on the tail stop and the touch the strings with the same hand? Does it go away if the...

    Upgrading Strat Squier Pickups

    Also remember that DCR changes with temperature and it's really doesn't indicate the output of a pickup. It's a rough measurement. Inductance will be a good way to figure out the output. https://www.seymourduncan.com/blog/latest-updates/inductance-what-it-is-and-why-it-matters

    What are you currently listening to?

    I'm listening to an artist that should be in the R-n-R of fame, but will never be.. I like that their vocals are in Maori.. I don't understand it, but it sounds good.

    Peavy 6505mh

    At one point a owned this amp. For the price it was a good amp and had a lot of features, but I just didn't like the sound out of it. I replaced the tubes, tried open and closed cabinet, different cabs, and even tried placing it in other location. This doesn't mean that you will not like the...

    Hello all.

    My name is Jason and I've been playing since 1989. I started playing because I wanted to play that heavy sound and solos from my favorite bands. Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Metallica, Megadeth, and Anthrax where my early influences before I took my blinders off and that opened a new world to me...
