    What do you do with spoilt guitars?

    Hi all, Got a question. Actually, I got a question and two acoustic guitars I don't really want anymore as I'm purely an electric player now. One is a J&D DG-Solo Cedar CEQ. Grand audi with solid cedar top and low-end Fishman electronics. $300+ guitar. Tuners need to be replaced. Also, the...

    How do you sell your electric guitar?

    Let's say you've set a date and time with the buyer and there's mutual agreement. How do you go about the sale? Some possibilities: - The buyer comes to your house to test the guitar. - You go to the buyer's house to test the guitar. - You both meet at a guitar stop where you can test the...

    External speakers for laptop

    Anyone can recommend me what wattage I should be looking for? I'm looking into getting a pair of external speakers for my Acer laptop so I can fill my bedroom with music. So it must be loud enough for a room. :) Preferably able to run passive, or USB powered. Seen quite a few big ones that do...

    Songwriting tips

    I'm one of those who considers writing good songs more important than being a technically good guitarist / bassist / pianist / etc. Usually I'd write up the rhythm and melody first before writing the lyrics. But problem with that method is that although the lyrics fit the melody, they don't...

    Photo size limit

    I don't know if it is affecting other users here too, but photos that are huge take a long time to load and causes my browser to lag. Is it possible to have either automatic resize or simply a size limit for photos? By the way, I'm not complaining and doing nothing. If your photos are huge...

    Seymour Duncan Woody SC (soundhole pickup)

    Hi there, Yet another acoustic guitar soundhole pickup that I own and have used. Unlike the Stagg pickup I reviewed some time back, I have not used this pickup live and cannot comment on its live performance. Basically, I found this pickup to have quite a natural acoustic guitar sound, and I...

    Stagg soundhole pickup

    Decided to do a review for one of my soundhole pickups. I also have a Seymour Duncan Woody SC but you can find plenty of reviews for that pickup on the internet. The soundhole pickup in question is made by Stagg, but it has no model number nor Stagg logo on it. But looks-wise, it looks like a...

    Replacing rims and tyres on a mountain bicycle

    Hi all, I'm intending to replace my 26" single-speed mountain bike's tyres and rims to better ones. There's also a design flaw in the rims which makes usage of certain foot pumps difficult, which is why I want to change the rims as well. I will be using it on mild to moderate off-road terrain...

    Is it just me, or is anyone else encountering this problem?...

    Hi all, Just want to know if there's anybody else experiencing the same problem with me. I've been on different servers and the problem is still there, so I'm wondering if the website is having a problem. SOFT is lagging, and often threads don't even load even if I refresh multiple times...

    Cycling on pavements - allowed?

    The basic question is as above. And if you're wondering, I did my research and checked the Singapore Statutes, Road Safety Act. There's info about cycling on roads and following traffic rules, blah blah blah, but there's nothing about cycling on pavements (the walkways where pedestrians walk)...

    Use of effects...

    Hi all, Started this thread because I'm wondering just how important effects like delay, chorus and reverb are. Personally, I am a rhythm guitarist so all I need are cleans and distortion. I guess I prefer to not be dependent on effects, and to be able to play direct into an amplifier like...

    Road Ready cases

    Hi all, I recently got a Road Ready case for my Ibanez dreadnought. I'm liking the case very much but the thing is that the handle doesn't seem all that heavy-duty. As in the joints are metal but they don't look particularly thick or strong to me, not to mention it is quite heavy with my guitar...

    Installing / replacing strap pins

    Before you lambast me about there being a thread on this recently, I did a search function and even searched the section manually, but that thread seemed to have disappeared. If you find that thread, do let me know so I can post on that one and get this one removed. So here's the story. I have...

    Guild guitars

    Hey all, I've known about Guild guitars for quite a long time now but I've never seen one in the flesh. I checked the website and the official dealer is Swee Lee, but I haven't seen any Guilds at Swee Lee. So yeah, anyone here knows where I can try them out, and perhaps anyone here has...

    Some stuffs...

    Man.. My old stuff were craptastic. Really should have rehearsed and got my chops in order before recording. Anyway, hope these are better! Mastodon-influenced riffs, with a thick, lushy sound from running two drives together, but somehow it didn't get carried over in the recording, so it sounds...

    More information here: http://www.redguitarstrings.com/ Sound test here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UurMn51-IJc So yeah, the copper-bronze alloy sounds pretty cool.

    Myspace help

    Hi all, Recently I've visited myspace.com (I didn't even log in) and the entire page is in Chinese. Unfortunately, I'm one of the minority of Chinese in Singapore who can't speak Chinese. Anyone knows how to change the language? Thanks.
