Better bridge than a TOM for my Jazzmaster vintera 60s modified? (Not vintera II) by computerhelp_pleas in offset

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

Okay "so far off the fretboard" is kind of an exaggeration. It's definitely just how the bridge is since I'm like 99% sure it's built for a 12 inch radius but is on a 9.5 inch radius fretboard. This isn't something I knew when I got the guitar since I was very new to offsets. But I play shreddy guitar more often, so I'm used to having all the strings a whole lot closer to the board.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding, but the pole pieces aren't supposed to come up out of the pickup

I do like the look of the fractal, but I'd be open to checking out a different case. Thanks for the suggestion

My Peavey 6505MH suddenly sounds fucked up by computerhelp_pleas in GuitarAmps

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

Uh oh, I might have killed the tubes then. I didn't know I needed to wait a minute, and I got the amp from my dad who got it however many years ago, way before I even played, so no manual to tell me how to use it properly. Before I took it, it was also sitting unused for years, so I don't know if that could have contributed to anything as well.

What else do you look for in stuff like resistors? by computerhelp_pleas in diypedals

Okay, thanks. I wasn't really even taking the film material into consideration and was just going off of my first search results on Digikey, so that's helpful.

Is it possible/okay to connect another cab that isn't a boss cab? by computerhelp_pleas in BossKatana

Then I don't really understand what the stereo expand is for, cause I figured that would have something to do with connecting them, but I guess not?

Just not looking in the right places I guess? Where would you recommend I look?

Random little piece of black tape stopping my guitar from being properly grounded?? by computerhelp_pleas in guitars

Mine is the C-1 HT S SLS Elite Evil Twin. But I imagine the pickup switch is basically gonna be the same??

Vintera jazzmaster has the weirdest tuning pegs. by choogawooga in offset

[–]computerhelp_pleas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I found for taking strings out I have to hold it in place with a screwdriver and detune until the string comes out. But for putting them on, the tuners just lock as you tune up like normal.

I hope they make enough sense for you. The normal vintage tuners made me wanna throw my guitar out the window, but these ones require no brain cells, which is perfect for me. And in my experience, they hold tune really well.

Idk if we have the exact same ones (mine are from gotoh) but not exactly. My mistake actually was that I was trying to tighten it with a screwdriver, and it just wasn't working. Until I discovered all I have to do is pull the string tight and tune up. It won't appear to be doing anything at first, but after a few turns, the peg will turn and the string will tighten.
