The quality control of Guitar Center's used gear has definitely taken a bit of a nosedive for me over the past year or two specifically. I reached a breaking point when I got sent a wah pedal that sounded awful, only to realize later that there was a piece of it that was literally torn off of...

I recently picked up an Ibanez Mikro 5 (GRSM25), having an awful lot of fun. In an Ideal World I could just get a nano pog, but I'm not made of money, especially considering that I'm getting into a new apartment in 3 weeks. I found a Sub n Up Mini and a DOD bass envelope FX25b for a cumulative...

I, too, had that sort of thing in mind, but the last time I googled, I recall reading that getting a repaint job was pretty expensive. Online Store - GuitarPaintGuys Custom Guitar Finishing Not suuuuuuper expensive, it looks like, however upon more investigation these specific guys have a rep...

I'm in the budget for a short-scale fiver, and after realizing that the ESP LTD B5JR is basically impossible to find, I'm gonna pull the trigger on a GSRM25. I'm not a fan of black basses (only color available,) if anybody has a Pearl White GSRM25 konking around that they aren't using anymore...

Hey guise! I have a Squier Jaguar that I love, but it's not as good for metal styles, so I'm considering picking up a used Mikro 4, getting it to a tech, and getting it setup for C standard for some metal action. Can anyone vouch for the Mikro staying stable at C standard with a good setup? I...

So I have a year coming up at my ***** retail job, and although it is a ***** retail job, it does have the added advantage of either one paid week or, as I've selected, an extra paycheck instead of that paid week. (AWWW YEHHH!!) I have a Squier Jaguar that I've been enjoying, but since getting...

Hellos, picked up a bass a year or so ago, and am quite digging it. I recently got into a big Kyuss/Fu Manchu/Sabbath kick lately, and as such snagged a Green Russian Muff Pi (After reading that I'd be better off getting that instead of a Bass Big Muff). I also have a Fulltone OCD that I put...

Yeah that's actually happening. I'm thinking I might wanna go ahead and get this guy to a local luthier for a tune-up tomorrow before I try to solve more issues that are beyond my noob comprehension xD

So I recently got a Squier Jaguar V-mod SS, have been quite enjoying it. Went ahead and swapped the stock strings out for some RS66S and applied some Guitar Honey to the neck and some Ernie Ball instrument polish to the rest of it; to my surprise, the thing did not explode, and the entire...

I'm all good on the gear front, but shag me I could go for a snowmobile, get super hammered and take my shagin snazzy ass snowmobile out and ride that mothafock off of BMX jumps in my snowed-out backyard and nearly die and put it on Youtube

Heya! I played drums for a long time, then I started making weirdo Vangelis ambient-space-trippy-soundscapes, and now I picked up a Squier Jaguar Vintage Modified SS, positively loving it. :D I fetched some RS66S's to replace the stock strings, and in the mail on Monday I'm gonna be getting some...

Heyhey guise, another little question that I guess I'll keep in this personalized "Questions this noob is asking" thread instead of creating billions of individual little threads. So I ordered some Guitar Honey because the neck on the Jag looks like it could use some oil, and the RS66s too. The...

Awesome, thanks ^o^ This was all very helpful, will skip it for now and work on technique for now ^o^

Thanks for the answer! ^o^ I switch between fingers and pick depending on what cover I'm digging at the time. Right now I'm positively loving the Big Stubby 3mms. Just ordered the RS66S's, will get em in a couple of days. Right now I'm especially prone to cover old cheesy eurodance tunes I like...

I checked it out and bought myself a pack of Rotosound RS66S's. Those specific strings are punchy af but not very bright from what I read, but whatever. As a noob, I'm basically a walking bag of contradictions, I guess lolol. I'm self-aware about it tho. ^o^ Hey, another question that only a...
