It's got a Badass bridge, that's why.

derrière pocket always works.

My earliest memory is listening to my Mum's Mother of Invention LPs, specifically Absolutely Free and We're Only In It For The Money. As a result, when it comes to music, anything goes, particularly the more varied and eclectic stuff. I will also call any vegetable, any vegetable at all.

My favourite shim was made from a Callan Veterinary Hospital business card. They closed a few years ago, sadly, so now I use Aldi AAA battery packaging. I haven't checked to see if the AA card has different tonal properties, but some day I might. As for Lidl, let's not open that can of worms.

How do you set the relief? Any bow in the neck adds string clearance for the lower frets only and tends to mean you have the action lower on the higher frets than you really should have, giving you this kind of buzz. The bow is adding behind the fret you're playing at, meaning you've sod all clearance at the higher frets. Loosening the truss rod will only exacerbate this. First, put the original shim back in at the heel. A Badass bridge maxed out means the strings are a long, long way from the body. Set the relief so that, when you hold the strings down at the first fret and the last fret, you have a gap about the width of a business card between the bottom of the strings and the top of the frets. No more than that. Once that's done, then set the action.

"Early in ZZ Top's career" = 1969 to 1975 or thereabouts. Before Reverb and even before eBay and even before ludicrous Fender fetishisation.

Shaky Hands are not a million miles away from music I would listen to regularly, but I didn't think much of them, to be honest. The songs don't tend to go anywhere and I was losing interest by the end. They're the kind of band I might enjoy more hearing only one song of as, going from one into the next, it all gets very samey very quickly. I didn't hate it but I can't see myself ever listening to it again. There are much better bands ploughing that particular furrow.

As a standalone song, it's nothing special, though I can't say I disliked it. It reflects the restrictions under which it was made. It's ok. As an endeavour by a couple of friends to close a circle, so to speak, honouring another couple of friends, and what they did to finally complete a song using what sounds like little more than 30 seconds of abysmally recorded original material, I found it quite moving.

The Corabi album is the best thing they did by a long, long way. It's a banger.

All of my bands had the sense to call it quits before we ever even got close to being successful. You can't go on the slide when you're still going uphill.

No, there's some sort of plate. First I saw of ferrules was on Ibanez around 87, they made a sculpted heel for the new SR range and a plate simply would not work with that design. I'd imagine Tune or SGC Nanyo possibly beat them to the idea but SRs are where I saw it first. This is the first I've heard of a plate with magic tonal properties but, in the age of unlimited aftermarket parts which make everything "better" I'm not surprised it's now available, probably made of tonegainium.

Well done, SH73, top job!

Likewise. I last saw Metallica in 92 and knew I would never go to see them again in case they overwrote the memories of seeing them before that. Not that they weren't enjoyable, just that what I wanted from them was no longer there. Lots of people have enjoyed them since, more people than ever seem to enjoy them now. Who am I to say they're wrong? They're simply not for me anymore. More importantly, nothing they have done since diminishes what they meant to me at the time and the enjoyment I still get from the early stuff. We went our separate ways and that's ok. Saying you no longer like how a performer now performs and should stop is almost like saying your ex isn't as attractive as she was, she should no longer date anyone. Creepy 😂

For anyone heroically taking it upon themselves to feel embarrassed on behalf of another musician, this is all you have to do to relieve yourself of the awkwardness which makes your day cloudy

No. Why should they stop if they still enjoy it? What a ridiculous thing to say. Would you stop doing something you love if some punter came up to you after a gig and gave you a pissy comment? If you don't like what they do, jog on. There's lots of other music out there which might not embarrass you, listen to that.
