To my ears 2 has oversaturated lows. 1 sounds tighter and will give less trouble in live and recording situations. 2 would come in to their own in music with dominant overdrive/distortion guitars I think. 1 for funk/soul/jazz/pop. 2 for metal/reggae/grunge.

These are my absolute favourite strings and have been using them exclusively for six or seven years. Mine are these for AEADG tuning: https://www.amazon.com/DR-Strings-Acoustic-Guitar-DDT5-55/dp/B003JFTE00

Hall of Fame should be artists that are a reference point of their style of music or a Larger than Life icon in popular music. Dolly should have been one of the first names in the HOF period. Never heard of mc5 or fela kuti until reading the first post. Most of the other names are debatable, Eminem isn't rock but certainly brought rap to the main stream, Beck is mediocre for the alt rock he plays on par with Cornershop for instance, how are we listing RATM (who I like) in competition with Judas Priest (not a big fan)? Priest have been a hallmark for heavy guitar music since 1974!

Robert Trujillo.

Nice burpy tone

Funny enough, the opposite of this also works. Playing the song at speed but playing only the first two notes per bar (or the first and third) and adding notes as you get perfect runs.

Good tip for tinnitus sufferers perhaps!

Different fingerboard and radius near the body, different (less ugly) sunburst, no scratch plate holes... It's none of the above.

I'd go see a band called "Colin or Nigel" the suspense is killing me already!

Glancing over this thread, some of you have VERY loosely fitted jaws, wow!

Flip the body and straighten the strings I'd say. That bottom horn as top would help reduce neck dive.

This is an Everything Pizza, shaken not stirred!

Not sure that counts as that is a requisite piece of kit IMO.

Americans are not a race.

Maybe hold off posting till you settle down because you seems to be mistaking punk for pop. Anyhow I watched the first 35 minutes of the vid and is Beato going to say anything with any meaning at all? He's not adding much to the snippets of music he's playing so far.

Or

Yep, discogs seems to be the most accurate way. Didn't know about the barcode scanner, that's brilliant!

Disagree with all my heart

Be part of the pandemic or not. I don't understand how people are willing to facilitate these events currently. -paragraph deleted- I'm sorry, I have nothing positive to say. I work in a hospital.

This is my standard tuning on both my Spector euro 5lx and my custom Cellar V. DR strings DDT heavies. However we're considered to be playing thrash metal.

Spector for me 100%, I don't get on with jazzes. What music are you planning to play, do you prefer slim or beefy necks, is weight a factor etc.etc.etc. Give us something to go on. Shootout is when YOU compare items and present us with the results.

16 is too easy: the content of course!

🤘

A dry thick microfiber towel for every day cleaning, a drop of Dr.Duck's Axwax annually when I change my strings and batteries. I have one bass that's only treated with Birchwood Casey gunstock oil and wax, no other lacquer or other finish on it.

OUT!!!
