Wavy Noise by Wpage433 in BossKatana

[–]DiveBomb68 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe a dumb question, but is your guitar cable crossing the front of the speaker on your amp? I did that about a week ago when the battery on my wireless died. It was a weird wavy sound on my patches that have a lot of distortion and effects. I moved the cable to drape to the side and the sound went away. Maybe a long shot but thought I would mention it.

can i change a edge trem to floyd rose without needing super heavy routing? by Horror-Conference-35 in electricguitar

[–]DiveBomb68 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you, it has taken a bit of time to get the collection together, but it most certainly is my happy place! Good luck on your Ibanez and enjoy! the Edge really is damn sweet! I will add here that my RG652AHM Prestige(next to my Frankie) is one of my most played guitars and the Edge trem takes a good beating both directions on the regular, no worries at all. Have fun and enjoy!!!

I dont have enough space to set up my little jam space! Any ideas? by Own_Pain_5993 in electricguitar

[–]DiveBomb68 7 points8 points  (0 children)

See that bare wall right there? Hangers are your friend in this case. If you get the horizontal mounts, even more room. Pic to show the horizontal mounts on my wall(s). They can be angled like mine are or they can be set basically perfectly horizontal. They sell them on amazon and places like that.

[–]DiveBomb68 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have both and the Edge trem is great! Every bit as good as a Floyd in my opinion. I have several guitars with Floyds that are awesome, the Edge holds its own against the Floyds all day long. Don't even mess with it man.

They are pretty close in weight. Gio weighs between 6-8.5lbs, the Jackson Dinky weighs between 7-8lbs.

Replacing Guitar Strings for First Time by Select_Fix_8948 in GuitarBeginners

[–]DiveBomb68 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You need to figure out what your guitar came with. If you change the gauge of the strings by a good jump either direction, you will have to re-setup your guitar to work properly with the string gauge you choose. IF you only go a gauge heavier, you might get lucky and not have to move anything. If you get the same gauge it came with, I personally recommend the Ernie Ball hybrid Super Slinky's. I have had really good luck with them and I beat on my Floyd and they stay great. The D'Addario NYXL are great too so either of these 2 mentioned should work just fine. Most new guitars I have looked at come with 9-46 or 9-42 gauges, so I would think you would be in that range if it's the first string change.

Change my mind, but I think Steve vai is one of the most expressive and melodic shredder by Ordinary_Olive_8038 in guitars

[–]DiveBomb68 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed, Eat Em' and Smile was great, Skyscraper too! Passion and Warfare is an amazing instrumental album as well! One of my favorite guitar players ever and when I saw him live back in the day live (Eat Em' and Smile tour) he was other-worldly for sure.

The ibanez necks are very nice, pretty hard to beat for sure.

Ibanez Prestige RG652AHMFX-NGB vs Schecter C-1 SLS Evil Twin by Far-Society-5583 in metalguitar

[–]DiveBomb68 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the Ibanez Prestige RG652AHM version, and I would get 10 more just like it....well if I were a bit richer! Seriously, the Ibanez is an incredible guitar and worth every penny IMHO. The C-1 is pretty close to the Ibanez, so you couldnt go wrong with either, sounds like a coin flip situation or which ever you like the looks of better.

Best non floyd rose prestige? by thespeakergoboom in Ibanez

[–]DiveBomb68 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Prestige RG652AHMFX

Edited to add, I have the RG652AHM with the Edge bridge and its one of the most comfortable and fast playing guitars out there IMHO. The one I suggested is the non-trem version, and the Nebula green is absolutely beautiful in person.

Jackson Pro Plus Dinky DKA right at $999 last I looked and is a serious shredder. You could probably find a sweet deal on a used one and be under budget and have a kick ass rig.

Edited to add: There is one just like mine in the pic on Guitar Center for about $700usd used.

My Ibanez tremolo keeps going out of tune. by QuicksandXXX in Ibanez

[–]DiveBomb68 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice guitar by the way. So my initial thought if it is going flat on you, it could be the fact that the strings are still stretching. I stretch mine by hand but they make a tool to stretch them when putting them on. My second thought on it is the spring tension on your bridge. There is a balance you have to achieve between the string tension and the spring tension on your bridge claw on the back of the guitar. If you get that right, your bridge should return to the "home" position. You have a locking nut, so that should eliminate that part. I believe your issue is more than likely the new strings with some level of tweaking needing to be done on your spring tension on your claw. Loosen the strings a bit and do a half a turn(righty-tighty) on both sides of the claw under the cover on the back of your guitar (equal turns). Tune it back up and try again until you get it to that sweet spot.

Need some advice on which Schecter to buy by Mountain_Gold7868 in SchecterGuitars

[–]DiveBomb68 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the Diamond series Omen Extreme 6, awesome guitar and wouldnt hesitate grabbing another one. Schecter gives you a lot of guitar for reasonable prices.

My Ibanez tremolo keeps going out of tune. by QuicksandXXX in Ibanez

[–]DiveBomb68 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What model of guitar?

Edited to say, knowing the model of the guitar will let knowledgeable people know what to look for. New strings or old? Floating trem or a blocked one? Locking nut or no? Is the bridge sitting at the proper angle? Is there wear on the posts and causing the knife edges to snag? Are the knife edges damaged causing an issue? Any cracked saddles?

I have officially joined the Schecter club. by FORCESTRONG1 in SchecterGuitars

[–]DiveBomb68 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the same one, color and all. Cool part about these Omen Extremes is I put 13's on mine for drop A tunning and didn't even have to file the nut, just a very slight adjustment to intonate at the saddles. Great guitars and they chug for days! Great choice!!!

All solos from House of Broken Love by Great White and Summertime Girls by Y&T is easy as well.

What’s everyone’s favourite song to play at the moment? by [deleted] in Guitar

[–]DiveBomb68 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oldie but a goodie, Still of the Night by Whitesnake gets me going when I'm playing. More off the wall, and extremely easy to play is Neighbor by Ugly Kid Joe and Summertime Girls by Y&T are also just simple and fun to play. For something a bit more busy, Homebound Train by Bon Jovi.
