Past few months I have spent more time playing guitar than bass. I have never bought a single bass mag but thinking getting a guitar magazine. Anyone buys any?

On the serious note. I keep losing mine.

When it's in its resting position, is the base of the unit , dead level with the surface of the guitar? If it's not then you need to balance the tension of the springs . If it's not level it just won't function correctly or return to pitch.
I've followed You Tube channel to set up. I think it was a cheap licenced flloyd rose or the guitar body wood is not hard enough to hold the studs steady? I have now removed flloyd rose and replacing wuth floating tremolo like my other guitars which seems to work fine.

Hey, sorry for the late reply, haven’t logged on in a long time.
Typically we have 250k for single coil and 500k for h/b. Do it the other way around and the singles become harsh and the h/b becomes muddy,
Some folks use 500k volume pots on a HSS but then use 500k or 470k resistors which are wired to kick in when the single coils are selected, this makes them more like 250k pot which is really what you’d want for single coils. See the photo below...
Regarding caps, it’s 100% personal preference IMO, depending on how muddy, middy or clear you want it when you turn the tone down.
Thank you. I've looked this up on the website and they have various options for wiring.

Hey guys,
I have a new Squier strat, this one:
https://www.gear4music.com/Guitar-and-Bass/Squier-Standard-Strat-MN-Candy-Apple-Red/9J4
I want some better pickups (Texas Specials) but the price is off putting so
I wondered if anyone has tried Warman Tex Specials and if they are as good as they say?
Appreciate some feedback please. Or is there something better for 30 quid.
cheers, Tom.
For that price the pick ups should be decent and balanced. Have look at irongear pick ups m.

Hi I'm rewiring two guitars. HSS and SSS
I've done tons of research but so many different answers
1. HSS some advise 500k pot for volume and tone (humbucker) and 250k pot for mid and neck tone. Also some advise 0.22 some 0.47 capacitor.
I'm after a 5 way blade switch.
2. SSS I'm after a classic strat wiring and I'm aware that 250 k pots are needed but again what capacitors do I need?so many options.
Can anyone advise please? @Chiliwailer
Some of the Seymour Duncan diagrams don't give potentiometers value.
Thank you

Still de tunes when using for high pitch.

I've listened to any unusual sounds when pulling the trem. Ckick sound comes from the nut lock. Will check the studs too.
Thanks @adamg67

One of my bitsa guitars is fitted with licensed flloyd rose and it detunes when I use it. It is set up in a floating style and when I tense the strings with tremolo arm, I have to go in a diving bomb use to get the tuning back but it is nowhere close.
I have lock nut and locking tuners but the tuning does not keep.
I read that Schaller quality is as good as original flloyd rose tremolo but cheaper.
Any schaller users here to advice on the product or how to keep flloyd rose in tune after set up?

Are there any bedroom guitarists who heavily rely on drum software like Superior Drummer 3?
It would be inreresting to know if you could share some experience what drum software you use and why.
I have seen lots of good things on You Tube about Toontracks Superior Drummer 3 and I'm often mesmerized how good the drum composition is by bedroom or semi pro guitar players.
I use a mixture of free version of Ez Drums (very basic and bland ) or drag drum parts from DAW one by one into a track and put them together like a jigsaw puzzle ( very time consuming but satisfying).
I'd like something dynamic, faster to work with and wider range if drum kits, tools etc. Any suggestions?

Ernie Ball 2221, 2222 and 2223.

Seller- Guitar pick included
Buyer- Does it need tuning?

True.
I was playing a tele through one of the distortion effects on the zoom g1onx the other day and I found myself thinking that I doubted if I could tell if a guitar going through that effect had humbuckers or single coils in a blind test.
It's all marketing. Seen guitar blind tests on You Tube? mostly get it wrong.
There are people who say strat is not suitable for metal. Strat is probably the most versatile guitar imo.
Maiden, Malmsteen, Richie Sambora, Eddie Van Halen.....
What makes their sound unique is the style of playing, pick up selection, effects, amp settings etc.

Not yet, are they worth checking out? The market seems flooded these days.
I replaced pick ups on my SSS and HSS with irongear. Good reviews and price. I'm satisfied with them

No such thing. I play metal wit Les paul, Tele and Strat. So much can be achieved with pedals, amps, pre and post processing nowadays.
I'd say playing a guitar that feels comfortable when playing is the best.

I've tuned in to learn.

Although I do like reverb and delay effects, I don't use pedals but instead Daw or Amplitube standard versions.
Both of my amps also have delay and reverb effects and they sound decent.
I'd like tc electronic reverb pedal and boss delay however.
