So got me some DDT bass strings and as wondering what tuning people play them in and what would their limits before snapping be.

Hey guys I've an Ibanez RG 350, vox vt20+, tc electronics flashback delay, Carl Martin rock drive and a boss sd-1 and I can't find a good sound set, what do you suggest?

Well you know how it goes , browsing through ebay as you do when you come across a nice shiney cool looking bass. I checked out the reviews and what they cost new and placed my maximum bid . well i only went and got it for less than half what they cost new :) http://i1379.photobucket.com/albums/ah142/Doug_N_Shaz_Brooks/ebhbbks_zpslnlgku6l.png So it arrived and have it in front of me but the intonation is a little off, I normally set up my own gear with no problem but i have never seen this kind of bridge (ABM) . http://i1379.photobucket.com/albums/ah142/Doug_N_Shaz_Brooks/BB-3420-003-web_1024x1024_zpsi2udnwss.jpg any advice on how to adjust it would be very welcome. Tha…

Hey guys, I have searched the forums for this topic and haven't found anything. So I want to play some of the amazing metal customs that you've all worked so hard to create. However, some songs require a very low tuning (B standard) like Amon Amarth , (B drop A) like Slipknot for instance. I would like to put some heavy gauge strings on my guitar. I have another guitar I'm willing to do this with. My question is, do I have to raise the action on this guitar to tune so low, even with heavy gauge strings? What gauge would you use? What advice can you give? Thank you so much!

So I got a Fender Rumble 15 to use with my bass and Rocksmith. I've looked at the posting on Reddit https://www.reddit.com/r/rocksmith/comments/3hdnte/how_to_get_rocksmith_and_your_amp_working/ and I've searched on here but I'm a tad confused. I have the PC version of Rocksmith and mostly listen through headphones as it disturbs the house if others are home and I use the PC speakers. What I want to achieve is hooking up the AMP using the DI box and cable mentioned in the Reddit post to my PC and being able to hear the AMP and Rocksmith through my headphones. Is this doable ? If so, what would I need to do that? Thank you for your help.

Hi, is there a way to play Rocksmith along with the presets from Guitar Rig 5/Amplitube? Also I have Pod HD500x. Is it possible to change the presets with Pod? Is there a way to combine Pod and Guitar Rig 5?

I primarily play metal and rarely clean, I run my delay and chorus in the amp's effects loop using a Zoom G2.1. Will my tone improve much switching to analog pedals, or will the analog distortion in my pre-amp not make much of a difference in the quality of the delay pedal?

This is a question from a low tech guy. I have a 15w Line 6 amp with an input jack for an iphone designed to play backing tracks thru the amp allowing me to play along. Question – would it be okay to run the cable from the headphone jack on my laptop into the amp to play backing tracks and also play Rocksmith thru the amp? Don’t want to fry the laptop but I’d like to be able to play backing tracks and RS2014 from the laptop to the amp if it won’t fry either one.

Hey guys, I've been around for a bit but I'm new to the forum. Anyway, I've been working on building a custom semi-hollow guitar. I wanted something that I could really feel was mine, and I had just graduated college and I do a lot of electronics work, so I figured I could do something really cool. Went with Seymour Duncan Hot Rodded Humbuckers for pickups, Gotoh locking tunders and a Gotoh tune-o-matic bridge, a Bigsby B70 tremolo, as well as other minor choices. I was going to go for kind of a gold hardware on dark-greyish for color. When I realized I screwed up was I completely overestimated my woodworking ability for the body. I went through Guitar Fetish twice f…

Since it hasn't been covered yet what does everyone run when they aren't playing rocksmith? :)i run a Peavey 5150II head and matching cab.GO!

So I got myself some DR neon bass strings and they are getting pretty dirty from the amount of me playing, anyone else used them before know the best way to clean them without losing color? Also what was your overall experience with them like?

Hi guys! I had a little 'accident' and one of my tuning pegs broke off :( So I called the closest guitar shop, explained evertyhing drove there and picked up some cheap (20€) mashine heads. After getting back home I quickly noticed that these mashine heads would be a downgrade in terms of quality and I would have to drill new holes for some screws. Because I don't want to drill new holes in my headstock to install subpar machine heads I googled like mad to find something that would fit wihout modification. So I own a Yamaha Pacifica 112J wich is nothing more than a Fender Stratocaster clone, so I ordered original Fender American Standard machine heads. Aaaaaand they don…

Recently i had to save a poor little guitar by purchasing it for 201€ Schecter Solo-6 custom Diamond Series http://i64.tinypic.com/2elccb4.jpg It was in not so good shape - after first layer of paint on the scratches and a lot of lemon oil things started getting better: http://i67.tinypic.com/aobd4o.jpg after fixing the jack i decided to customise a bit more :) Presenting http://i64.tinypic.com/35089vs.jpg Schecter Solo 6 "Zombie Bride" Custom (now true custom) from the brand new and insanely limited http://i65.tinypic.com/23qt06.jpg Zombie Girl Series ... keep calm and zombify your guitar ...

I have found a bass online that I am seriously considering buying but there are a few things about it that I am not so sure about and the opinions of you guys might make all the difference to my decision. It is an old Fender Jazz. A 1973!!! As you will see from the pictures, it is a thing of absolute beauty but the beauty is a fake one unfortunately. It is not an original paint job. The pickups are not original either. Neither is the scratch plate nor the ashtray covers. Everything else is original. The guy wants 17 900 South African Rands (which is about 1 200 Euro's, 870 Pounds, 1340 US Dollars). I have been emailing back and forth with him and he goes on and o…

Does anyone here know the best chemicals to use on your guitar for cleaning, without ruining the finish.. Thank You..
