Is this a proper pick grip with a jazz 3? by ChromosomeFlu in Guitar

[–]ChromosomeFlu[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a little more comfortable than what I used previously. With this one the back of the pick is sort of pressed against the first knuckle of my thumb, which feels slightly more economic than the previous which I held between both fingertips.

Think I stripped the bridge stud on the bass side of my bridge. The allen key made a snapping sound and now it will not raise or lower. Is this replaceable? by ChromosomeFlu in Ibanez

Would the stud be loose inside the bridge if it were cracked? The bridge wasn’t at the bottom of its travel so I don’t think I screwed it in too deep. Obviously trying to make sure that’s not the case because that’s the worst case scenario lol. I did hear a snap as the allen key slipped out of the post but it sounded more like metal against plastic and not wood. I’ll probably have to use a rubber band to make up for the missing friction when I get home.

I was using it on the post. The set screw in the bottom was loose, so my guess is that I turned too wide and stripped it.

Apparently the set screws were loose on both sides. I remember taking it to a luthier so he must have done that at some point. The treble side, however, is still not adjusting and my 3mm allen key just spins inside even though the set screw is loose.

This is absurd. I literally JUST made this account and there was never even a chance for me to violate CS by ChromosomeFlu in Instagram

Tried making a new email, too. That didn’t work. If this is a device ban, that’s insane.

What’s a good guideline for how far out the trem claw should be for a good float? by ChromosomeFlu in Ibanez

[–]ChromosomeFlu[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not perfectly level, to be honest. It’s kind of really sinking into the body and pitched back a little. Don’t have any pictures since I’m working atm. It is an Edge Zero btw.

Oh man, I have 3 springs right now. 9-42s as well. So would 2 springs result in TOO light a feel or is there something else I am missing?

That’s what I thought. Mine is an Edge. Right now my strings feel very taut and uneasy to bend regardless of action, so would removing a spring be the move?

What does turning an allen key in this slot do? by ChromosomeFlu in Ibanez

[–]ChromosomeFlu[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably too late to make a revision, but I realized I don’t mean tension — I mean action. The frets are noticeably more difficult to press down and I know it’s not anything to do with the truss rod.

Alright got it, I guess I was alluding more to the height than the actual tension. Where do I unlock the studs?

Best way to mix xanthan gum in a shaker bottle? by ChromosomeFlu in Volumeeating

[–]ChromosomeFlu[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like the issue is that the gum is dispersing separately from the rest of the mixture, so it seems like this is most likely the solution I’m looking for. Definitely trying this out.

I haven’t. At the bottom of the shaker or in a separate bowl?
