  1. Something that always grinds my gears

     

    When some famous band/musician uploads a picture of something gear related, and you get some whatever people commenting with fucking obvious statements like "is that a p90" or some other mundane fucking thing trying to draw a reply from the artist so they feel special. If it was some other weird bit of gear then sure, ask, but not for fucking obvious stuff

    is that a p90?

  2. Question, a lot of the popular guitar compressors only have 2-3 controls, usually something like level, gain, threshold. I've been reading up about compressors cos I'm gonna need one in due course for a specific sound I'm after, but I would ideally need one with the full range of controls, like attack, release, ratio etc. But they all seem very pricey. So does anyone use a compressor with the full compliment of controls or is there a better way?

  3. Yeah that's what I'm finding tricky. Like each of them are a bit different, but thats a good thing I guess. They'll all have a tone bypass switch too. Figuring out a price seems to be the toughest part. The parts for them is cheap, but I get the whole aspect of putting a price on the time and effort. Still doesn't make it too easy to put a figure on it. Any ideas of what would be reasonable? Even a bracket?

  4. How far? I've never really measured the pickup distances in my guitars, but I can tell that they vary greatly. Some are pretty far away, some nearly touching the strings.

     

    I'm guessing it's not the same for every pickup either (keeping the intonation in mind too). Are we basically talking two P90s though? because I can get some measurements (in metric of course) of that setup if you want.

     

    Its only one p90 at the bridge. The DC on it is around 12k I think so if you know if any of your pickups are around that, the distances away they are would help. Cheers

  5. which pickup is this again?

     

    The neodymium bridge p90 sized humbucker from calig pickups. For being cheap as fuck, its got good clarity, but not as loud as I hoped. Not bad all the same for the price of it. Ended up wiring it with series/parallel and it sounds great on series. The height needs to be tweaked a bit, but I think moving it closer to the strings will make it a bit louder. Also managed to do something to break one of my 27//54 prototypes. Something went pop.
