Took it out of the case to play and heard something heavy rattling around. A flashlight revealed the battery box had come loose. And not just loose, but tangled. After unstringing it took awhile to untangle the wires. Found out the double sided Velcro was not even sticky. Down to the hardware store for some double sided tape. Relocated the battery box to an easier access location. Restring and back playing. Disappointed 3k guitar needed fixin after one week.  Thankful it was something I could fix. . .WITH PATIENCE. I may have developed some new swear words.  Thanks, Gibson ..read more

So after a prolonged sabbatical from the lounge, I've managed to make it back.  As Joe says, "Life's been good to me so far", but not without its trials and tribulations, blessings and rewards. I have managed to improve my playing and understanding of the our beloved instrument of choice.  I've also added to my humble collection. In the spring of last year there was an incredible Estate Auction in San Luis Obispo, CA, just a mere 40 miles up Hwy 101.  There were roughly 200 guitars and amps in the collection.  Some real rare items were up for auction too.  Check out Tr ..read more

Overcoming my irrational fear of the "truss rod"
Gibson » The Gibson Lounge
by
3h ago
I admit it. Until yesterday, I have always had an irrational fear of adjusting the Truss Rods on my guitars/bass. I assume this began in my youth, after hearing multiple people warn of the potential damage a novice could do to a guitar if they "mess with them wrong." I had always been fortunate enough to have talented/experienced musician friends who would do truss adjustments for me, (when and if needed), especially before I set up a new guitar, after making changes to an existing guitar, or when something seemed a bit "off" with any of them over time. Even though I watched them each time, th ..read more

I've used the Fulltone OCD overdrive for some time now.  I saw that Mike and Brad (Jackson Audio) had made a batch of OCD Ge pedals and have been wanting to pick one up.  So I did.  Fulltone had a special if you buy an OCD pedal, you get a free shirt.  You don't have to twist my arm, so I ordered one.  The Ge stands for germanium, as in germanium diodes.  I've been A/B'n the two and there is a slight difference.  The OCD V1 is a bit brighter in the midrange, where as the OCD Ge is slightly darker in the lower mids.  I can certainly hear the difference. A ..read more
