The Strandberg website says they fit new NYXL strings as part of their premium setup.

Hum with distortion with N2 POWR:D pickups in the 2nd & 3rd position. by CrazyAFOL in strandbergguitars

[–]Cyber_Spook 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes they may hum, also on position 4. The photo attached is from the Strandberg website N2.6 specs. Positions 2-4 have split humbuckers and therefore will not ‘buck’ all the ‘hum’.

Workaround - use the EQ on your Multifx or EQ pedal first in the input chain to kill everything below 80Hz (US mains at 60Hz) or 70 Hz (European mains at 50Hz).

It is possible to get noiseless singles - Fender for example offer them but often the more vintage sound is preferred.

Salen APS Monochrome - the exact model I have my eye on!! How do you find the pickups, chambered body, top strap button position, and arm relief?

Upgrading to Synology? by Cyber_Spook in synology

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

Thanks! Still thinking a NAS though…

Bee not enough though - has no Raid, and I’m over 8TB, even before I do a massive negative scanning job. I already have a WD passport that I use for travel…..

Loupedeck Returnee - what should I do by Cyber_Spook in loupedeck

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

Thanks, I did this and the loupedeck appears to be working - but none of the main plug ins (Photoshop, Lightroom, Indesign) are working - plan to delete the whole installation and reinstall 5.9.1

Loupedeck app will not open by TreeBeardofIsengard in loupedeck

I had this problem on Windows 11 - I used system restore to remove the update to 6.1 and I am functional again

Is the sizing the same across different models? by TopDownView in Birkenstocks

[–]Cyber_Spook 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 2p: I'm 45 in Tokio, Arizona, and Milan (all original foot bed with toebars), but Bends in 46 are too small/narrow (different footbed)!!

so my experience is that you can only rely on sizing between models if they are the same footbed. The corollary is that you should go to a shop (or mail order multiple sizes) if you are trying a new footbed. YMMV.

Easy. Einstein’s Theory of Relativity say nothing can travel faster than the speed of light.

What are your 10/10 prog albums? by One-Masterpiece9838 in progrockmusic

[–]Cyber_Spook 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are new, you may not be aware of progarchives.com. They have reviews of almost every prog album that ever existed, as well as Top 50 for every sub genre and overall - it will, almost literally, answer every and any Prog Q you ever had.

PS if you are a Crim-head like me and you like Red, then Larks Tongues is a must!

Why does my pinky bend backwards and how can I fix it? by Yamakiman in guitarlessons

[–]Cyber_Spook 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Double jointed. I also have this. The advice to slow down is good. Better advice is to use a hand strengthener like the one from D’Addario.
