    Intonation gone sharp - old strings or up-bowing neck?

    Yes, I've heard this too.

    Intonation gone sharp - old strings or up-bowing neck?

    Right. Do you remember if the intonation was sharp or flat? Assuming that the relief was still correct.

    Intonation gone sharp - old strings or up-bowing neck?

    I didn't measure it bit if felt like the action had become higher so I checked intonation and all strings were sharp which to me indicates that there's more travel for each string from open to fretted that results in sharp intonation. I had the guitar PLEKed shortly after purchase and I went...

    Intonation gone sharp - old strings or up-bowing neck?

    Checked the intonation on my new Ibanez Iron Label RGIB6 baritone. The intonation had gone sharp on all strings which to me indicates that the neck has moved and gotten too much relief/up-bow. I tightened the truss rod maybe four times, all in all it might have been 1/2 a turn. I checked the...

    NGD, I wonder if 2nd fret is too low though?

    Yeah, off to the tech it is.

    NGD, I wonder if 2nd fret is too low though?

    Right, I think I'm going to leave it to a tech and see what's up. They PLEK guitars there too, I'll probably have them do one but I want to check this out first.

    NGD, I wonder if 2nd fret is too low though?

    Yeah I might have to start buying some tools instead of going to a tech every time.

    That might be the case.

    NGD, I wonder if 2nd fret is too low though?

    No worries, I do know about the relief and I checked it, it's got a bit, I know the tech I usually go to would put a bit more relief in the neck though. But exactly, I can hear all the strings/frets slap against the frets but that's normal, but on the 2nd fret it sounds different, kinda like if...

    NGD, I wonder if 2nd fret is too low though?

    NGD aka New Guitar Day. I ordered myself an Ibanez RGIB6 baritone, sounds killer even though it's needs a setup. However, when I fret the second fret it buzzes, pretty much across all strings. It doesn't buzz as much on the first fret and as you'd expect it doesn't buzz from third fret and up...

    "Disk is too slow or System Overload" - MacOS 10.10 -> 10.14, Logic 9 -> Logic X

    Updated from MacOS Yosemite 10.10 to the latest Mojave 10.14 yesterday. I also bought the latest version of Logic (Pro X). Now my iMac performs waaay worse than ever. It is slower in all fields but it's most noticeable when using Logic Pro X. I get the "Disk is too slow or System Overload"...

    IRs with "studio magic", i.e. big, full, 3D etc?

    Over the years I've noticed that most IR's sound boxy and dull when compared to tone matches or professional recordings. It seems no matter how much I blend IR's, phase shift, comb filter, EQ, try different amp settings etc I never get that 3D tone or get rid of that boxy sound without making an...

    Optimizing guitar for recording (metal)

    Good to know. One funny thing is a bought a baritone because I wanted better intonation, but I couldn't use the 62 for the low A (which the guitar comes with, so I must assume it was constructed to be played with a 13-62 set). There wasn't any intonation range left, even if I flipped the saddle...

    Optimizing guitar for recording (metal)

    Yeah, sometimes it is better though and I don't have tweak much, using the same brand/gauge. This guitar seems to be very temperamental, but maybe most guitars are, I don't know... But yeah, since recording needs a good source it sort of drives me mad, also when I don't have professional techs...

    Optimizing guitar for recording (metal)

    My goal is to record an album but I think my guitar is not cutting it. I like the sound of it (when it stays in tune etc) but I wonder if anything can be done about it or if it's better to just buy a guitar with an EverTune and never have to waste time tuning/intonating/lubing again? The guitar...
