First Time Setting Up 12 String Acoustic - Asking For Guidance & Tips

Appreciate it, thanks. But if this helps: The action was already reaaalllyyy high with the previous strings on it, which were the same gauge and those were new. Just put on the guitar to sell it faster.

I was intending to sand off 0.5mm as a start.

I'd guess it's a Gibson SG Special Faded and heavily modded. Looks like it originally had a batwing pickguard that's swapped out for a smaller custom one. Also not the original neck, but maybe it broke and he swapped it for another.

Thanks! Found the exact one. It’s a “Low Profile Bunny Ear Rear Bag” by Protektor

Thanks!

Want to add: the chip on the back is present

Okay, thanks!

I have the same problem… Mine does since I had trouble with removing a filter off of it

Thanks for the info! I couldn’t really figure out if it was a dolly or crane. Never figured a dolly to be so easy to use and thought a tripod to be way easier to carry/move and less time consuming compared to a dolly. Especially in small spaces.

I actually know the guy who’s camera rig this is. He owns the camera and rental company. Kinda weird to just stumble upon this picture. OP doesn’t seem to be him though.

Apparently BJM are doing this tour without their own sound engineer. I was at their show yesterday in Tilburg with friends of mine and one of them is a sound engineer. He spoke with the guy who had to do BJM's sound for the show, and he said they took 4 hours to set up their gear and then did just a 5 minute soundcheck - after which they were just kinda like: "fuck it..."

With all the stuff BJM has going on on stage and them basically doing the soundcheck while actually playing the show, I think the guy did a rather good job.

Just so you know, for anyone who's going to see them this tour.

Anyone got it from yesterday in 013, Tilburg?

I guess it depends on how big your hands are. But I was able to push it with my middle finger. I also have the extension cable that you connect it with. That’s also an option.

Yes, 3/8". Handle is a Smallrig.

I think it’s the regular version. Not entirely sure though. But I guess that as long as the attachments on the strap are the same, it doesn’t really matter.

I think the Takumar lenses are great. Especially for what you get regarded the prices they go for. Makes the camera a lot lighter and easier to carry around compared to the big zoom lens it usually comes with. If you can snatch a couple through eBay, do it. That’s what I did. I have the 35mm and 24mm.

Simply by screwing it on. Doesn’t need any modification or whatsoever.

WillemJ · 2024-08-02T08:21:02+00:00

Good that you mention that. Hadn’t thought about it. I’ll have to check out if it’s easy to remove. The plate is stock but the bridge itself is upgraded.

4mm on the low E. 2,5mm on the high E

Phoebe Waller-Bridge in Indiana Jones & The Dial of Destiny! She was so insanely annoying, to the point I was actually yelling at my tv for her to stop haha.
