    Shortscale stingray bass tone knob stopped working

    This happened to me too on the Short Scale, as well as a Sabre HT I have. I'm emailing with EBMM support about it. Frustrating, as I bought it new from them full price only 2 years ago. I'll keep you posted. I think they're going to mail me a new pot since I'm handy and don't mind fixing it.

    Charting / learning songs

    I never tried printing the charts. I used 1Chart + iPad + stand for charts for about 30 gigs and the app never let me down. They have a button that lets you put it in "always on" mode so the screen doesn't lock. The only time I had a chart fail was when we had an outdoor gig and the iPad itself...

    Learning Keyboards

    100% recommend it. I had a super positive experience. I played in 1st-2nd grade, then not again until I was 37 years old.

    Charting / learning songs

    I like the 1Chart app on iPad. The app is a straightforward way to do Nashville Number system on an iPad. You can do chord letters (G, C, D, etc.) but I do the numbers because it's easier in my brain. If you have odd chords you just have to put "b7dom" (flat 7 dominant), "#5", etc.

    SOLD Fender Aerodyne

    I’m also curious if those inlays are stickers. I thought all of these have dot inlays. [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]

    JMJ Signature Road Worn Mustang!

    What do y’all use for pickup height? (I know it’s “to taste” so don’t reply with “whatever you like!”) Measure the Fender way, i.e. fret string at last fret, then measure distance from top of pickup cover to bottom of string, in 1/64ths of an inch. E string: A string: D string: G string: Flats...
