    D-Tuna....yay or nah?

    And that is where the problem occurs and to me was the issue with the tone vise, when you put the fine tuner in play your adding something else that can move and change the tuning then you end up chasing your tail. But everyone works stuff different and if that works for you then that’s cool.

    D-Tuna....yay or nah?

    The fine tuner should just be touching the screw, all of the tuning should be done at the tuner and the fine tuner shouldn't be touched.when in e its tuned with the screw on the side of the d-tuna

    D-Tuna....yay or nah?

    Could be humidity, the locking nut, knife edges, strings not stretched out enough. There are a lot of variables that it could be, my neck’s will move some if I’m not on top of the humidity levels in the music room and then I have to unlock and retune slightly. But most of the time I have zero...

    D-Tuna....yay or nah?

    I have D-Tuna’s on 3 of my guitars and once string changes happen they will be going on 2 more. When they are set up right they do what they do very well. I like them, but yes it needs to be on a dive only Floyd. I did try that other one that Tone Vise makes and didn’t like it, to me it felt...

    CME tour of Bonamassa's gear

    He has got a couple of Nerdville's one in Nashville one in NY and that one is believe in LA which is the original What's funny when I originally watched this when they 1st put it up and they showed Billy Gibbons card nothing was blurred out. I can imagine he got some emails and phone calls

    CME tour of Bonamassa's gear

    I watched this the other day, Stunning collection, I know he polarizes some with how massive it is. What I like about him is yes he has some pieces that will never see a stage again, but he tours with a lot of his stuff as well. its better than all of it sitting behind glass never to be touched...

    Pickup Advice Bare Knuckle/Dimarzio

    Pickup Advice Bare Knuckle/Dimarzio

    Its in the JB family to me but with less of the high mid of a JB I like both and use both. As far as the Super D and Aldrich they really don't compare to each other to me at least. this was an interview with Steve back in the day on the development of the Rebel Yell MH: Speaking of big...

    Pickup Advice Bare Knuckle/Dimarzio

    I have one Dimarzio SD in my Adrian Smith Jackson, good pickup but not my main choice. The Rebel Yell if I'm not mistaken was based off of the JB. I tend to go for Duncans in the majority of my guitars, though i have a couple with Aldrich's. I had a few Bare Knuckles and they are great pickups...

    How much "wet" signal do you prefer to run?

    I run my delays in parallel tied to an expression pedal off the input gain. At its lowest its at maybe 3% just letting a little delay through and barely noticeable just a bit of air, at full toe down its at 25%. I like running my delay with an expression pedal so I can dial in just how much...

    Saw Living Colour and Extreme last night at Jannus Live in St Pete, FL.

    VR is def an acquired taste,He's very avant-garde. I personally always enjoyed LC seen them live a few times, and yes I shake my head when he goes frantic but I see it as part of him. One of my favorite songs is Nothingness, which is funny because it mainly VR playing synth on his guitar.
