    Low Output Pickups

    I have not discussed anybody's ego. If you read "hyper masculine" as "ego" you might want to discuss that with your psychiatrist. I also didn't mention male reproductive anything in the first post. Again, if you're seeing penises where there aren't any... Also, I suspect you do not know what...

    Low Output Pickups

    Things I have not insulted in this thread: 1. Any genre of music. 2. Your music. 3. High output pickups. If you like high output pickups for what you do, then fine. I don't get them, and to my eyes they're marketed like UFC pay-per-view. If I was into high output pups, I'd be even more...

    Low Output Pickups

    I've generally come to the understanding that high output pickups are mostly still around because they lend themselves well to the macho manchild sort of marketing that's used to sell most products to men. They probably made some sense in the 70s, when there were limited options for pushing...

    Cliff, can you get RJM the Midi spec he needs?

    I had an LF+12+ that I fought with for over 2 years before I finally sold it back to one of their employees at a loss. Easily the worst customer service I've ever experienced. Jeff is clearly a smart guy and his product is very capable, but he's also a BS artist who doesn't seem to care about...

    Windows 10?

    IIRC, Tom's Hardware didn't much like Skylake-X's thermal performance - Intel apparently went with thermal paste instead of solder and they were having trouble getting it to not overheat on them. Still beats Ryzen/Threadripper on a instructions-per-clock basis, but Tom's left the impression that...

    Help: why is my MFC doing these undesirable things?

    Recently got MK2 and I'm trying to configure it. I got scenes working the way I want and got it stop throwing name timeout errors, but it's still doing the following strange/bad things: 1. All my songs are offset by -1, which means song 1 is inaccessible. That is, it loads what my setlist says...

    Nine Inch Nails

    Saw them 2013 and they KILLED. Wish sounded HUGE. Their lighting rig was crazy - they had these spotlights mounted in series on arms and the whole thing was articulated so the arms could move and the lights could spin on a gimbal. Very impressive show. (Queens of the Stone Age opened, and were...

    Happy new Star Wars day!

    I found it pretty disappointing. It's not prequels bad, and I liked a lot of the performances and the visuals. But it just wasn't special - just another CGI-heavy blockbuster with too many characters, too many subplots, and a buttload of script logic problems that really distracted me from their...

    Any RJM users out there? Your thoughts? I'm tempted....

    OMG, where do I start? I just managed to sell my LF+12+ back to a guy at the company for less than half of what I paid for it. 1. The manual is years out of date, unfinished, and very difficult to understand. They did not hire a technical writer. 2. Their PC Editor has no documentation at all...

    MFC-101 song mode - a little help please

    I tried for ages to use the auto tap tempo feature on my Liquid Foot to synchronize the Axe with a Reaper project and never could get it to work. Practically speaking, it's just a lot easier to use a unique preset or set of presets for each song (the XL has a bazillion, so I have trouble...

    What features do people want in a MIDI controller?

    It seems like you might be asking an awful lot of my balance and stamina for standing on one foot if I'm supposed to suspend the other one over that thing and make precise motions on it... You're competing with expression pedals for any kind of scrolling fuction. That said, I think that in...

    Phone number for FAMC?

    Lol - yeah, but hardly anybody reads it, and the few that do also read this one!

    Phone number for FAMC?

    I'm trying to ship them something and need a phone number for the customs form. As they are prone to doing, they stopped communicating in the middle of a support ticket conversation, leaving me with an item packed and ready to go, but not quite enough information to actually ship it to them...

    Is anyone still using FAMC Liquid Foot models?

    I'm running a LF+ 12+. I've had an awful, awful time with their support... but I also don't have another $1000 to spend on an RJM. It's super good if you can figure out how to program the thing.

    Les Paul - Missing Ground Wire from Pot to Bridge Post

    I've pulled bridge bushings with a folded up towel and a claw hammer before :D Have you considered pouring a bit of conductive glue in the hole and then jamming the wire in? Seem like it would probably work, and doesn't require pulling the bushing.
