Wow! Sooo much talent! I never realized you have such a long history with music, my friend!  I couldn't find it on Amazon, but sure would like to have my own copy. Can you give me a website on which it may be ordered (just shoot me a mail)? I would like to add it to my "The Chordians' Greatest Hits" if possible..

Mail incoming ... !!

Yep, I had the same experience with my PRS SE Torero ... it takes a while to kick the habit of leaving it plugged in!!

Cheers

Richard

Here's the vid I followed about using a Bounce sheet. I didn't know it was just wax, Beamer ... great info. I've got a block of paraffin in my workshop, so I'll try that.

neo just finished listening to your other entries for this month.  'Sound of Silence', this is a song I really like, you covered it well and it suited you vocally.  'Morning has Broken' is another song and artist I like, nicely covered by you as well.  'The best way to Travel' I actually don`t know this song, your guitar playing was really good on it.  'I saw the Light' another one I don`t know, but enjoyed listening to you play it.  'Ashes to Ashes', a great song, thought this suited you vocally too.  Once again neo, your amazing at how many you manage to cover each month smile

Thanks for your kind words, I'll manage to slip one more in, but I did this in an "artistic" way wink

I was also wondering if a person could run one Xvive setup from guitar > effects array, and then another from the effects array > amp?

I've also wondered this - I've got a Line6 wireless for my electric and then thought, "this is no good, wires still connect the effects to the amp!!!" ....

Richard from what I have seen I would say yes it is more then possible smile check out the photos on the left of this link
https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail … stem-black

Cheers for that, but the receiver is going into either the amp or the effects pedals ... not out of the effects .. guess there's only one way to find out for sure ...

Not sure if this is the same thing, but one time our audio engineer detected a 'buzz' from the bass guitarists axe; he solved it simply by putting an alligator clip on his bridge to the negative/earth side of his cable ... it was a few years ago, but I remember he took the casing off the cable, then applied it carefully to the longest stem of the jack ...

Don't do it with the amp on, and make sure you don't have a short before you plug it in ...

Hope that helps

When I log in, everything is ok, & my name appears in the top right (Login area), but when I try to add a song to my songbook, it says "login-to add to songbook".  NEVER had any problems in the past. If a thing ain't broke........don't fix it, seems a logical formula to go by

I am having this exact problem.  I cannot add any song to my songbook because once I've either searched and selected a song, or navigated to a song.. I am apparently logged out.  My name no longer appears in the upper right hand corner, and instead of "add to songbook" option, I get, "log in and add to songbook" as an option.  As soon as I try to login.. it directs me to a forum and away from the song.  Never ending cycle, regardless of which song I'm trying to add.  Help!

Hi,

I'm guessing this is the most logical place to post this (or admins will remove it) - the Fender Riffstation software is now listed for free:

https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/378908

It will detect the chords in n MP3, so you can work them out from there.

I used to go around to my friends place and we'd listen to records ... his old man had a great stereo system and a lot of new music was bought to my attention, including Dire Straits, probably around 1980, I think that was the first time I heard it, and after that, I wanted to play guitar ...
