The Pickup Place / Shawbucker noise

« on: May 20, 2020, 12:37:47 AM »

Hi, I have a Shawbucker on the bridge position and it has some noise, it’s not terrible but when I change to the neck position (Fast Track 1) it’s dead quiet. I have triple checked the grounding and it’s all good. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the advice.

The strings are correctly wound. Put some lub in the nut and improved a lot, maybe a 90%.

News & New Guys / Hi from Cuba

« on: November 13, 2015, 12:17:46 PM »

Just registered, a few details:

I'm from Cuba
I started playing about 7 years ago (i'm 23 by the way)
I play rock, blues and metal

I have a Fender FM-210 w/ BOSS Micro-BR in the FX loop for amp modeling for a direct out (because it's difficult to get a good instrument mic here in Cuba or a speaker sim) and i also connect it (in parallel with the direct out) to the amp's FX return for some sound treatment because the amp doesn't sound very good to me, and for the same reason explained above i haven't bought something better.

As far as my guitars:

- 1994 Peavey Predator w/ Virtual Solo (bridge) & Virtual Heavy Blues 2 (neck)
- 1992 MIK Strat (in repair) w/ HS-3 (bridge) & HS-2 (neck) with a DPDT switch for coil splitting both pups
- Laguna with a H-H pickup setup (don't know the model, i think it's from the 80's)

And the pedals:

- Ibanez Tube Screamer TS-808
- Vox V847
- BOSS ME-6

Guitar Lounge / Tuning Problems in 2013 Gibson SG

The guitar is an almost new SG. It keeps going out of tune, ESPECIALLY the G string when you bend it.

Note: I live in Cuba...No Gibson Stores or anything like it.
