    1973 Rickenbacker input questions

    I’m sending this to my buddy that is recording/producing my pop punk band’s EP (don’t worry the rick isn’t wasted on me I’m trained, just like singing in a pop punk band and our bass player quit).

    1973 Rickenbacker input questions

    I’m still not comfortable doing truss rod adjustments. There’s a local guitar shop in Raleigh that i take for all my work. I’m not very handy and I don’t have a beater bass to experiment with (other bass is a 5 string lakland skyline). But I trust them to do it right. Harry’s is the best.

    1973 Rickenbacker input questions

    What’s wrong with the darkglass head? It’s 900w and has the micro tubes for an overdrive effect. I’ve been super happy with it. Agree on the cab, not necessarily because it sounds bad but it’s huge and I have a bad back. upside I already own one of those Marshall cabs. My friend was moving to...

    New Cobalt Strings

    I just ordered a set of the 5 string cobalts. I've been playing with blue steels for years now and never had a problem but a few months ago I bought a set that was missing the D string so I thought I'd try something new. Will definitely report back.

    Dunlop strap locks rusting

    I've noticed over the last couple months that my dunlop strap locks have started rusting. My band practices in a storage unit and it gets really hot so a lot of nights I practice shirtless and sweat a lot. Could the strap be soaking up sweat and causing the locks to rust up? Is there a different...
