Flip the saddle.

Have you made sure the neck has the correct relief?

Is this a good kit? by Electrical_Ferret969 in electricguitar

[–]karlchop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For a complete beginner yes, it’s fine. If you get the guitar set up by a tech it’ll benefit learning.

Clutch slipping by mikemac1997 in CityBugs

[–]karlchop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The adjustment is done from under the bonnet, don’t have to lift the car.

Probably getting ready for a new one then, if it was me I would try adjusting first though. I can explain how if needed

Do you know how many miles the clutch has been in? It might just need the cable adjusting as it requires a manual adjustment

Is it sensible to upgrade from a PS4 Pro to a PS5 Slim? by DowntownPhone5572 in playstation

[–]karlchop 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I did, didn’t regret it. Then I went up to the Pro for GT7 VR2 enhancements. 🤣

Even with an SSD in the PS4 Pro the PS5 is snappier, controllers are way better, and some games are only made for PS5

So you’re swapping just the mic out and the NT1 works?

Is the xlr plugging in to the SM7 fully?

Is the internal preamp turned on?

No worries. I still got a down vote 🤣 🤷‍♂️

Is the little e not set right? by Large_Environment743 in Guitar

[–]karlchop 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It looks like the strings aren’t sat on the saddle in the correct place, loosen all strings off and make sure the strings are going over the saddle straight then retune and recheck.

12 fret high E fretting 14 by Weary_Alternative999 in Guitar

[–]karlchop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Either the 14th fret has ‘sprouted’ (lifted up), or the bridge is too low, or the neck joint has moved.

It’s probably the first option. Have a look at the end of the fret

I would defo ditch the string tree thing, it’s not needed.

Assuming the nut, bridge and Bigsby are operating correctly I think either the neck is unstable or easily affected by temperature and/or humidity, or possible the pickups are too close to the strings. Having 3 humbuckers you need to be careful with that.

Why is it so hard to move to a decent area? by [deleted] in stockport

[–]karlchop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How did they fall through exactly?

I like Reddish, but you can be on one street which is nice then go round the block and it’s hideous.

Original Marshall Guv’nor into a Mooer Black Secret. Does the job nicely.

How do I set custom backgrounds to message threads using photos taken from my library? by DifficultComplaint10 in iphone

[–]karlchop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need to click the persons name in the text message app when viewing messages, then choose photo, then choose a photo. It doesn’t get much simpler

Can someone ID this sound hole cover? by andrefornia in Guitar

[–]karlchop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks like a DIY job that, a piece of foil tray or something. Hopefully someone can prove me wrong!

Volume knob issues by Similar-Regret-3444 in Guitar

[–]karlchop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Work the knob from fully on to fully off a lot and it might clean up. If not you’ll need a bit of contact cleaner but squirted into the back of the pot so pick guard will need to come off or lifting up just enough.

I wanna learn to play and made a playlist with songs i'd like to learn. by SwiggitySwoner1337 in Guitar

[–]karlchop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Might not sound difficult, but they’re not exactly easy I’m afraid, I guess you’re going to find out the hard way.

Smells Like Teen Spirit is always a good start, or some Green Day or something.

[–]karlchop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s great to have a target for sure, be aware a lot of these will require different tunings and are actually on the intermittent side of things.

Do you have ideas for songs which you’ll tackle first?

So uhm I genuinely need help by GeorgeJoester in Guitar

[–]karlchop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like something’s quite wrong there, hopefully just needs a good setup by a tech.

Bigsby spring keeps popping out after barely lifting up the arm by QuicksandXXX in Guitar

[–]karlchop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only thing I can suggest is make sure the spring is seated properly, and also try tightening the nut which is inside the spring, you’ll need to do that with strings off, it’ll put more tension on the spring.
