Good old guitarist jokes.

/is a guitarist and gets sick of that joke quickly

[QUOTE=FuryInArt]I think it's the nut on the tuning pegs, shadows. I had the same deal with my bass a few weeks ago. Tightened it up and the problem was solved.[/QUOTE]
Thanks a lot, I'll check that now.

I may be back with questions though, because all I can do is feel around with this stuff. :p

Sorry, but whats that ?

Shadows fallen what kind of guitar do you have?

[QUOTE=Stormrider331]Sorry but what ?[/QUOTE]
I think it's when the saddle gets sharp and snaps your string. Something liek that.

Alright, so nut on the tuning pegs...

[QUOTE=Happy]I think it's when the saddle gets sharp and snaps your string. Something liek that.[/QUOTE]

Ah okay thanks. But it wasnt the saddle, it was the brigde itself. Its fixed now but it drove me crazy.

Just feel around on the pegs, shadows. If something feels loose, theres a good chance it's rattling while you're playing. Twist it until it stays.

I'm off for now
Goodnight all :wave:

G'night.

Okay, I get it now. Thanks for the help. :)

Anytime.

My string don't get dull. After maybe a month, they start to make this pulsing sound when I hit the high strings, like a steady clicking. Is this what "going dull" means?

You know how when you first get strings they sound really alive and metallic?
And sooner or later ( depending on gauge of string) it goes "dead" i dosnt sound fresh anymore. It sounds dull.

Actually that doesn't ever happen to me. Unless you mean on a clean channel, which I almost never use.

That's my problem. When I change to a brand-new set of strings, the D string will go dead after one day of playing. :(

I tightened the nut and I heard something pop/crack. ****. It all looks and sounds just fine, so I'm just setting it back up to normal hoping nothing's wrong. I cleaned out under the nut too, hopefully that will help some. I'm afraid I may have to take out the string and check out the bridge.

Wow, that sounds very one-dimensional. Is that all you play is metal?

i could make love to my flat wound strings. They don't tear up my hands and it always gives my bass a happy sound. mmmmmmm i love flat wound strings

Ya, someone I know has both flat and round and IMO Flat>Round

When I practice, yes. Obviously I'll play clean parts when playing whole songs, but I rarely play whole songs without a band (and I don't have a band at the moment). Plus, I don't really notice my strings ever sounding "dead" on a clean channel.

I'll have to try those. I've cut open my hand from playing too much before. Not pleasent.

I'm writing cards full of festive cheer and saw an awful "play"

Yourself?

Nothing man, listening to some really good BM. Youz?

Distortion hides dull strings pretty well. I play a lot of clean stuff as well as distorted, so I notice. I can also tell because the strings will get a harder feel when they go dull and they sound very muffled when you play without an amp.

I wish I was in a band. :(

[QUOTE=Axe]what's poppin'?[/QUOTE]

Playing the Anasthesia bass solo. It's good to relieve stress (or not, depending on my mood). It also sounds nice :)

I must get really weird strings or something. I don't have any of those problems, only that weird pulsing sound I was talking about. If anything my strings get looser-feeling over time.. how long do you keep a pair of strings for?
