i've been using these exclusively for about 4 years

musiciansfriend wants to charge me $32 to ship a set of strings.

Dawdy

i would just like to add.....HOLY SHIT, Dimarzio Tone Zone is fucking AWESOME

Dawdy

just make sure you dont over-tighten the screw, because you can bust the little block

Dawdy

if you change the string gauge, then you have to adjust the springs in the back to compensate for the pressure. if you went heavier strings, then its going to pull the bridge upwards more, so tighten the springs. If you went lighter, then loosen the springs so the bridge will pull out further. you w...

figured out my problem. i shouldnt have assumed that dimarzio and ibanez pickups used the same colour scheme. i switched the red wire and the black/white wire on the 5-way switch and now everything is right

Dawdy

my Ibanez RG350DX project continues... i got a Dimarzio Tone Zone cheap off of Ebay So, i wired this thing up in the bridge position, and it just doesnt sounds right. It doesnt quite sound as loud as the middle or neck pickups. Also, when set the switch to the bridge position, the guitar hums alot. ...

Dawdy

as for the action, i cant tell by the picture because they're dark, but if its a floyd rip-off or similiar, the bridge should be supported by two pivot screws. they are usually adjustable with an allen wrench. just crank them up or down to raise or lower

Dawdy

stick two pieces of wood between the tremolo block and it wont move anymore.

Dawdy

i managed to fix it. i took them all back off and laid them on the table. re-arranged a couple of them and they seem to be close in height, or atleast they slope together

Dawdy

i've got this new project, its an Ibanez RG350DX anyways, i took the bridge apart to clean it, and when i put it back together and strung it up, i noticed that the high e string sits higher than the rest (at the bridge). it looks like the saddle is sitting higher. there is nothing to adjust it. Are ...

do you have the newest version of Firefox installed?

when the grooves get worn down, the strings are too low which would cause them to buzz on the first couple frets.

you mean permanetly bowed?

it does have a slight underbow and if i get it straight (to the eye atleast) it buzz's on the first three frets.

worn out nut!

Dawdy

where do you get the fret buzzing? is it all over? one end of the neck? middle?

if adjusting the neck wont fix it, it could be the nut

Pour two cups of cold water over the tubes after jamming. That will fix it.

i had to think about that for a minute, then i realized it was the darkness. then i got it

holy shit, i didnt even notice that till you said it. thats fucking cool

Dawdy

it doesnt happen a whole lot. i usually hear it once or twice when i turn the amp on and i have it on standby waiting for it to warm up. and then it does it maybe 3 or 4 times after i turn the amp off. you can hear it in the back, sounds like hitting two beer bottles together. but very slightly

Dawdy

i used nail polish and it worked for me

i've also used wood filler to fill in dents, but that was when i was painting the whole thing after

What did you go for?

i just went to the local shop today to browse. they didnt have the valveking 112, but they had the 212 for $599. i might get that instead.

Dawdy

my one guitar with a tremolo, the strings feel looser than my other with fixed tune-o-matic bridges

Dawdy

when i first starting playing i had a Boss MT-2 metal zone pedal. it was alright. you can find one cheap on ebay

Dawdy

Deron from CKY plays those

Dawdy

have you played through it Wayne? what did you think?

Dawdy

I'm looking to spend around $500. Want something mostly for metal. I was thinking about checking out the Line 6 spider, but i read reviews that they are horrible.

Dawdy

for the guitars, i plugged into my effect board, and then straight into my sound card. i didnt use the effect board other than to boost the signal. i dont think it really made a difference though. I used a program called Guitar Rig 3. I just picked a a standard metal tone i think.

Dawdy

alright here we go Slay. finally done
the drums sound fucking awesome. too bad i cant play anything good on guitar to compliment them
