    Changed strings from heavy to super-light

    That didn't make any sense to me apart from loosening the truss rod. Maybe I should take it to my music shop lol

    Changed strings from heavy to super-light

    Hey guys, As the title says, I've just changed my strings. But now I'm getting a fair bit of fret buzz. How should I remedy this? Should I raise the action? Or loosen the truss rod? Or both? Thanks

    Ibanez SR500 different versions?

    Hey guys, I'm going to look at a used SR500 today and possibly buy it if I like it, but I have a quick question about it. I remember reading somewhere to watch out for older versions pre-2010, as they were not as good. The one that I am going to see does not have the little 'mid frequency...

    Upgrading from an Ibanez EDB500 to a SR500?

    Hey guys, I've owned my Ibanez EDB500 for many years and I kinda feel like I want to change it. It's great to play but I've never been too keen on the sound, probably due to the luthite body. I've been watching this Ibanez SR500 on ebay, not too much money but was wondering if it was...

    Trading a GB Shuttle 9.0 for a TC RH450?

    Hey guys, I like to play a lot of funk rock, slap, a lot of RHCP style music with a lot of punch to it. I currently own a Genz Benz STL 9.0 for the past year. I like it and it's a good reliable lightweight amp, but I've never really been blown away by the tone. Don't get me wrong, it's a...

    Trading for a TecAmp Puma 350?

    Hey guys, just wondering if I'm being stupid here... I've got a Genz Benz Shuttle 9.0 but I've got a bit bored of the tone. Someone is offering me a trade for a TecAmp Puma 350. Naturally I first thought no because it's only 350W at 4ohms and only 250W at 8ohms, whereas my GB is 900W/500W...
