I'm thinking about it for now - after I realized how much tone a pot can suck out of your instrument. I'm considering using a hall effect sensor if only to learn something new.

Thanks guys, I'm a proponent of less is more so what you both say makes sense to me. I am just trying to fatten the sound a bit. When I use my reverb I generally bring it up until I can hear it and th ...

I have a rack mount Peavey and a Behringer DD400 (not a Boss but that's all I wanted to spend at the time). It's got the following: Level; Feedback; Time and Mode with Hold 200, 500,and 1300 ms. The m ...

I'll second Pete on Best Practice. The other feature I like is that it stays on pitch. Perhaps a bit of a resource hog but if you don't have too many things going on at once it works just great.

I'm amazed Bent, othing short of professional here. How long does it take you to put a guitar together.

b0b, the S-8 is just an 8 string guitar, like the the S10 with 2 less things or is my inexperienced nomenclature showing.

Thanks so far guys.

Rats, it should be do-able with time and effort, not sure if I'm the guy though. Thanks for taking the time to reply.

Thanks for the reply guys, esp Jack - plans have changed - we're movin' on.

Please send me a PM. Wouldn't mind dropping in if you are close by. Thanks.

Is there software that will allow me to do this? I've messed around a bit with Excel but it's a bit cumbersome. Any thoughts would be welcomed.

First of all, happy new year!

I've mounted the pup on my new steel with velcro for the time being. It works and holds it in place.

It sounds to me like most folks are using a thumb pick and 2 finger picks. I use 3 finger picks & I find palm blocking very difficult. Any ideas for us 4 fingered pickers would be most helpful.

Got it Ed Thanks

Ed, could you send me one please, thanks! Eldon

This makes so much sense for any instrument. If you think you should be front and center all the time then guess what - you're making the music sound boring.

Now there's a good looking guitar.

A big thanks David I'm just starting (C6 neck) so anything like this is useful even if it's played on and E9th.

Thank You! The small oval is exactly what I've been looking for - now to practice.
