    The Uke of Death!

    That uke has a great, if sad, story and has a fitting name. RIP to the two men who passed the project along.

    What humbuckers do you suggest for a Superstrat?

    My Suhr Standard has their Thornbucker II/V63/V63 set. It's wired up to auto split in position two. Also, there's a push/push on the tone pot to put the humbucker in parallel. I haven't thought once about changing anything since the install.

    Looking for Inexpensive modeler with headphone out

    That Boss Katana Go video sounds good enough to me for practice/travel. It sounds better than the Fender version that I own.

    I'm using String Swing hangers with the Diamondlife slat system. I like the String Swing hangers much better than the Diamondlife hangers that I was using. As far as strength, I would think the Stringswing would be stronger but the Diamondlife works just fine.

    Demo Model Guitars

    Are you using Sweetwater's financing, or paying outright? Sweetwater salesmen usually have more room to discount if your not using the financing. I've been able to get several packs of strings or other accessories thrown in when I couldn't get a decent discount.

    Electro-Voice PXM-12MP from KPODJ

    Here’s a copy/paste of my original post when mine came in. Notice I didn’t say the speaker was sliding around. I said it only had cardboard around it. “ I received my EV a few days ago and finally set it up last night. My first thought was, meh. After a quick scan of the user manual, I read...

    Electro-Voice PXM-12MP from KPODJ

    I bought my PXM-12P new from Sweetwater. I received it brand new in an unopened box. It arrived just as you described. In the factory box with no padding whatsoever. Mine arrived without a scratch on the speaker but the box was scuffed and dusty from the trip.

    I stood away from the wall, facing the wall with my foot planted flat on the floor. I then lean into the wall, with my leg straight, using the wall for balance.

    Really need help and it should be easy for you.

    It's probably a combination of your speakers and where they set in your room. I started with a single HS8 Yamaha and wasn't happy with any presets unless I did a lot of tweeking. When I got my first powered wedge, most presets now sounded great. That was a Xitone, which quit on me. I now have...

    Fender American Pro II Telecaster Deluxe Maple

    Those Fender pickups are unpotted. You could soak them in a pot of melted wax. It may cure your problem. Otherwise, I'd recommend a Suhr Thornbucker II bridge / Thornbucker neck combo.

    What are you current and favourite guitar string manufacturers?

    I’ve been using Ernie Ball Slinky’s for decades. I’ll probably keep using them. My acoustic has Martin strings on it now but I have used Elixirs when I had a Taylor.

    Talk me out of (or into) buying a Suhr Guitar

    I would never talk anyone out of buying a Suhr. Suhr necks are the best in the business IMO. If your buying used, you should have no problem recouping your money in the slight chance you don't like it.

    What do you think of a wedding band with no drummer and backing tracks?

    Back in the mid '90s there was a guy that played a local bar every friday and saturday night. He played along to backing tracks minus the main guitar part and vocals. He would play the guitar solo on some songs note for note and other songs he would put his own solo. Back then his backing tracks...
