The Doom Room: ILF Edition

[t-rey]

Err, has anyone been on HCFX yet?

Unfortunately I tried and it wouldnt even let me log on.... there's too much graphics, its near impossible to navigate, and impossible to read. I'm staying here.....

You have to reset your password for some reason...

Either way it's pretty strange but I'll give it a fair chance if traffic picks up.

What just made me laugh, is that it bleeped out the word MUFF on an FX forum

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[sonidero]

And ILF is a community ...

Maybe with this influx of Doom Roomers we'll be able to break the "most users online ever" record?

WE CAN DO IT!!! I almost bumped that over New Years...

MOST DOOMERS ONLINE EVER!!!

not everyone from DR is even posting much anymore. Due to HCs usually fuck ups a lot of members simply stop posting in the DR over there and thus probably wont post here much either

I put out a distress beacon over there with a link to this thread...but some may be lost to the abyss of the internet without a doomy thread to call home

Sulking the Interwebs without a Room of Doom can lead to severe depression and thoughts of watching Honey Boo Boo...

BTW there's a craigslist ad in the musicians section that seemed to fit the bill for you perfectly, just a heads up if your interested, if I had more free time I would definitely hit them up myself.

which one ? LOOKING FOR GOSPEL SINGERS? Caribbean Band?

Girlfriend just started a workout video, so I joined her to make her feel more comfortable. (Don't tell her, but I'm fucking exhausted)

Sweet!!!!

As far as the WRHB it took alot of adjusting to get mine dialed in, but it is a very dark pickup and thats what i like about it. To help you dial in the WRHB lower it as far as it can go, it should stick up above the pickguard maybe 1/8 of an inch (or 3-4mm) then screw in the low string pick up screw about 2-3 full turns it should be noticeably below the p/u cover, the A string screw should be just below the cover, the D string should actually be a bit above the cover as well as the G string screw (I found the D string screw needing to be the highest out of the group but just slightly higher then the G), the B string screw should be just about even with the cover, and the high E string screw should be just below the cover (about the same as the A string). That really helped balance out the over powering lows while allowing the high strings to cut through and be audible, but it is still very dark. The bridge p/u just needs to be raised till the output is about the same as the neck p/u. It's weird that yours has a satin finish neck, mine is clear coated all the way around but i like it alot, very slick not sticky at all. I love the radius, its great for chords but it also feels the best for leads and solo's out of the numerous fenders I have. Can;t wait to hear your thoughts once you get it back from the tech, .12's should be no problem but you'll probably need to upgrade the saddles to get perfect intonation but that shouldn't run you more then like 10-15$.

Thanks for the tips, mate, I'll definitely give that a go tomorrow myself.

As far as the finish on the neck, it's not actually satin (it's clear coated like yours). I just couldn't think of another word for 'smooth' and 'worn-in'. I'm attempting to broaden my vocabulary.

Depending on the busyness of my guitar tech, I might try and do the work myself. I definitely feel C is my tuning, and will be what I'll knock it down to. I feel weird playing light strings in a high tuning. So much of the music I play (and what you play, too) is dependant on low-tuned thick strings.

I feel the same way. BUT a few years back, the old band of some friends of mine released their first EP after their demo and I'll never forget hearing it for the first time. They only tuned to Eb but due to a poor setup, the lead guitar made the coolest sludgy sound of the strings detuning when played hard. That said, I only play .11s and thicker

I've actually been playing in AADGBE, but I STILL can't have any less thin than .12's anymore. Guh
