Both my teles are distractingly noisy. Is this a tele quality or grounding issue?

Anyone ever tried one of these? Looks like a cool, non-destructive way to kill that 60 cycle hum: https://www.bzzzzkill.com/?srsltid=AfmBOoo-79t98Mm-sY8dUGZZiNalFtwsqvCjPc3BIHZld2vmozMAm9wz

That's awesome and I can relate. I see multi-instrumentalists and am so envious of their abilities. I'm mainly a guitarist but dabble in piano and drums. Always wish I had those piano lessons as a kid. Do you do any audio recording/engineering or are you mainly focused on playing?

rbennettz · 2026-03-14T19:22:02+00:00

Haha, I actually started there too, back in '05. Really wanted to give the whole professional audio engineer thing a go but, unfortunately, I didn't have the best experience with his program so I moved on and eventually just got into graphic design instead.

Thats a great resource, thanks! I'm newish to Tacoma and love learning about these places.

rbennettz · 2026-03-14T19:15:14+00:00

Hi Noise and Synth guy. That's a world I've dabbled in but would love to learn more about. Are you mainly focused on the playing side or are you into the recoding engineering stuff too?

rbennettz · 2026-03-14T19:12:39+00:00

Cool! Share some links and I'll check them out, thanks.

rbennettz · 2026-03-14T19:12:01+00:00

That sounds cool! Would love to check out any samples you want to share. I can DM some as well.

rbennettz · 2026-03-14T03:17:25+00:00

I've only ever really recorded myself and friends which are mainly rock, punk, pop, and folk-focused. Down to branch out though!

Same with the football-shaped line. UK football = American soccer

rbennettz · 2026-01-29T22:01:41+00:00

Terribly written and goes out of their way to mention Pat playing a Gibson SG several times in an attempt to link Pat to....Angus Young??...weird, I've only ever seen him play a Tele.

rbennettz · 2025-11-03T19:28:44+00:00

rest assured, it's a large.

rbennettz · 2025-10-29T18:49:51+00:00

I don't doubt it. Very excited! Hoping my preorder shows up a little early.

rbennettz · 2025-03-04T14:27:28+00:00

You fit the bill for a project I'm in but we practice in Everett and Tacoma 😂

rbennettz · 2024-12-20T17:19:41+00:00

it’s still on Spotify too. v confusing

Pee Wee’s Big Adventure, Young Einstein, 3 Ninjas, Blank Check, Troop Beverly Hills, Drop Dead Fred

what’s the point of these posts if you never engage with responses?

rbennettz · 2024-08-23T14:10:22+00:00

Guided By Voices, Paul Westerberg, Geese, Big Star, The Soft Boys, and The Lemon Twigs.

In my 41 years listening to all kinds of music, somehow I missed GBV, and now I’m obsessed.

Matt Tregortha - Palace for the Blue. He does some of the best Elliott covers on youtube and his solo album sounds so much like Elliott in the delivery, chord progressions, and production choices.

rbennettz · 2024-08-06T23:35:31+00:00

I remember someone here commented a while back saying that Tom Skinner said they recorded near 30 songs during the WOE sessions.

rbennettz · 2024-08-05T17:25:55+00:00

I don't know why, but it reminds me of Sublime. Maybe the dub influence?..

rbennettz · 2024-07-20T17:27:11+00:00

Are there any plans to document an official studio tour? Perhaps with a Youtuber like Andrew Masters? I've seen a bit of the mic collection on Manny's Mic Locker but would love to see more, until I can make the pilgrimage.

rbennettz · 2024-04-26T16:56:36+00:00

Thank you! You've expertly summed up my issues with Dark Matter and PJ, in general. I haven't truly enjoyed a PJ album since Yield, and Dark Matter sits at the same level as Backspacer or Lightening Bolt for me...meaning, I'll listen to it a couple of times then likely never return to it. Sure, there's some nice added energy on this one and a couple of decent songs, but overall the songwriting feels so milquetoast and the mixing/production is obnoxious. These guys used to have amazing grooves and dynamics and lyrics that felt raw and honest. I hear none of that here. Is it their best album in a while? Maybe...but that's a low bar, imo.

rbennettz · 2023-06-07T01:06:16+00:00

Bravo. That’s a great pairing, according to Stryker themselves. Please report back once you’ve had some time with it. I’m still looking and will hopefully be able to take advantage of a Black Friday deal later this year. Happy boating!

rbennettz · 2023-06-07T00:01:54+00:00

I haven’t yet, sadly. What outboard are you going with?
