    I Can't Believe This Happend AGAIN!

    Just reread you post about the last set of screws - all broke at the same spot. That throws out my hypothesis - something about the bridge plate was causing an outer screw to shear and put all of the tension on the remaining two screws which sequentially pulled out and sheared due to the...

    I Can't Believe This Happend AGAIN!

    Since it has happened twice with two different sets of screws I would like to see pics of the bridge plate, top view and bottom. It might be the shear force culprit. Question - did the other set of screws break at different points as well?

    Awesome, now I have a better idea of which members in our online community believe it is OK to discriminate against entire classes of people. And also the ones who have no idea how the 1st amendment works.

    Korg tuner calibration

    Sharing a tuner is not hard if everyone shows up to rehearsal:). And yes, major deviations from standard A can be problematic (the pantera/halen reference was just an example of extreme deviation, I think a quarter step, just to illustrate the fact that a band in tune with itself will not irk...
