Just add 12 half tones to each number, 1+12 = 13! 4+12= 16 and then search the 16 etc. sound on another string, don't be so lazy.
or alternatively, you can find a notes octave up two strings and along two frets
(not the B string where its up 3 frets)
[QUOTE=4NGRY MUFF1N;26115426]Dude how did you do the wiring for that humbucker? i've placed one in my cheap strat but i cant get the wiring nor the humbucker to work :([/QUOTE]
There's 5 wires.
Bare is the ground wire, green is the south start, white is the north end. Red and Black are the hot-wires for North Start and South End. Some humbcukers have simplified wiring, where there's only one hotwire, and one coilsplit leadoff. Likewise, the colors of your wires could be different than the ones on mine.
I wired both the hotwires onto the selector switch, and wired white, green, and ground to the plateau of the volume pot. I didnt have the patience to hook it up for a coil split, so it sounds like the mid position (bridge and middle) is out of phase, and there's a slight 60 cycle hum (still sounds cool, though). Though in the full bridge position the humbucker plays in it's full series humbucking like it's supposed to.

[QUOTE=Unreliable;26111332]what kind of tremolo do you have and what gauge strings?
i want a left handed tremolo setup, possibly a floyd or the off brand that works just as well, if not better. i can't remember the name...
do you think a floating one would support 13 gauge strings?[/QUOTE]
Kahler trem (1983 model) Using heavy guauge. Don't recall the number, but it's up there. Probably 12 or 13. The tremolo tension is adjustable from the roller, so it should be able to support 13 gauge.

sounds a bit trickier than when i installed my seymour duncan hotrails, there were only two wires, even stevie wonder could fit them.
My guitars, in chronological order:
Yamaha acoustic
Shit strat knockoff
Bradley Les Paul (knockoff from the 70's)
Takamine acoustic
Dean Vendetta
All of them were bought at yard sales, except the Dean. :saddowns:
I do, however, plan on buying a PRS SE C24 around Christmas when I have the money

Yeah, I don't think there's a way to split most hotrails. They usually only have a lower output, so splitting it would bring it down to like 3k. One wire is the ground, and one is the hotwire on most hotrails. A shared hotwire will be wired to the north start and south end of the humbucker.
Hypno, have you decided what guitar you'll make next? The Rick 325 is a cool idea, what with there being few 3/4 scale guitars that aren't just tacky beginner models. Unless you were planning on doing the 350 thing and having a full-scale neck on the 325 body.
Probably won't be making a guitar for a while. depends on my living circumstances and school. Next guitar *might* be for my little brother. Either way, likely won't be a Rickenbacker as I don't know how to do semi-hollows.
If I make one for myself it will likely be my own body and headstock design. I want to make a good blues guitar with a chambered body, tele bridge, and a good hot p90 in the neck. I've got a lot of black walnut laying around my house, so it will probably be using that, maybe with a spruce, cedar, or pine back. (which means no painting, or if there is a paint it'll only be partial) I want to make it really "home-grown" looking.
Ah cool, fair enough.
Might go for a Jag body, with the Tele hardware. I'm starting to love those and the way they sound. Think The Tele bridge should make it sound pretty raw and metallic.
Hypno, what would you say to making a custom body, with a preshaped and fretted neck? I wouldn't have the tools necessary to make a neck, but I could carve out a body and route out space for electronics.
Nah, don't have the tools to do very precise neck specs. I generally make the body neck joint to fender standards, then modify the neck as I need to do fit the body.
Basically, I don't have the tool capacity to do spec-orders. If I were to sell something, it would be a complete guitar. Still, I'd like more practice in finishing before I start selling stuff.
I was meaning me do it :v:
There is a few places in town that can get wood and I'm capable of making my own body. I was just wondering if that was a plausible way of making a (semi) home made bass.
[QUOTE=TheGuru;26115504]Yes. I use my 7 string RG from everything from jazz to acoustic modelling with metal in between. Most Ibanezes come stock with pretty average pickups, upgrade those and you'll be good to go.[/QUOTE]
Nice
I'm thinking about getting a RG170DX for christmas, as my local guitar store is having a sale there and I can get it cheap, plus I'm a student there so I get a discount.
I want another guitar, not another amp.
I'm really strictly metal on my 7 string although I do fiddle with jazz. The pickups are ever so hot though and my guitar tubes run hot like a motherfuck so it's hard to get a good clean tone out of it.
I rarely play in clean
I only play clean when I'm warming up so I can hear for sure that my hands are in sync with each other
other than that
DISTORTION JAM ALWAYS
There's nothing wrong with clean, it's just not something that I play in
If I want a clean tone I just play acoustic, not really the same thing but eh
AAL was here in Minneapolis tonight, was thinking about going with a friend but I didn't know If I would like them enough to go.
I had to google that to figure out you meant animals as leaders
I'd go if I was you
Dude you should have gone

I might see them in February in DC, though it's unlikely

AAL are amazing stoned listening to their studio stuff
Imagine that live! JESUS!

There aren't many female metal guitarists that I know of. Or drummers for that matter.
Nope
[editline]18th November 2010[/editline]
I cannot honestly think of one drummer, or guitarist that is a woman that I think is worth a special mention
I wonder why there aren't more of them

Orianthi. She can play guitar pretty well.

The Great Kat. She really isn't worth mentioning except for how creepy she is.
[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5JxKbdu7L_8[/media]
No clue of any good female drummers, could be because I have a small list of male drummer I know.
Orianthi is not a metal guitarist, but she isn't a bad guitarist either
That sounded like metal to me. Maybe I'd call it pop-metal, but still metal regardless.
Also Orianthi is damn fine :v:
the drummer from maximum the hormone is a chick
she sings too
not a particularly skilled drummer but w/e
that still counts
[editline]18th November 2010[/editline]
I wonder why metal is male dominated
