I'm looking at cheap class D amps on Amazon and wondering if I can use them to power my 2x12" guitar cabinet. It's not an amp, it's a cab that takes a typical 14 Gauge 9.2mm 1/4" Speaker Cable. All these cheap Class D amps have RCA outs for left and right. I presume I need to stay away from a Y cable? That feels like a mistake. Do I pick a side and go from RCA to TR balanced, or TRS unbalanced? Like what kind of a cable am I looking for specifically? At the moment I'm using a 20W Valetone TAR-20G that's purpose-built as a mini amp pedal, but it's not loud enough. It sounds amazing, it's inexpensive, but it's too quiet to jam with.

I'm about to install a Nashville bridge for the first time. I intend on stringing the guitar and checking the intonation before committing to the placement of the bridge. However, I'm curious if it's always necessary to angle the bridge and if there's a disadvantage to placing it perpendicular to the neck provided I can intonate it when it's perpendicular and I save myself a little adjustment room on the saddles. It's a Jazzmaster, so I think aesthetically, it would look better if the bridge was perfectly perpendicular provided the Nashville bridge gives me sufficient saddle adjustment room. Follow-up question, what are my chances of being able to intonate it with it being perfectly perpendi

I ordered a cheap Musiclily bridge. It came with two long screws with the flywheels already attached, precisely as the picture shows. The bridge is nice, but pretty tiny. But I was expecting there'd be studs I'd have to drill for. I expected that the screws would screw INTO two female studs that I'd have to sink into the guitar. But there's a bridge, two screws and two fly wheels. Am I missing studs or do I drill two screw-sized holes in the wood and shove them in? That seems weird. It says "package includes: 1 piece full bridge assembly set and mounting accessories" but I feel like it's missing two mounting acces

For several months I've maintained a list that included extra fields like region, specific data base ids, gender etc.. And suddenly they're all gone. When I view contacts, those fields are not there. And when I go to upload via copy and paste, the categories aren't even there to choose from.

The only thing I've done differently, was to finally format the mailchimp default signup form which by default shows absolutely every field in the database. I added a header and deleted the fields that I didn't want to force subscribers to fill in. By removing these additional fields in the form editor, did mailchimp remove them from my database? That seems way too dumb to fathom. It can't be that c

Apparently Bandlab bought Cakewalk and now you can download Sonar Platinum for free. Gibson bought it and killed it last year. Kind of disappointing if you're a musician who prefers Windows to Mac. But now Bandlab apparently has made Sonar Platinum free (minus the Melodyne plugin). Anybody have any experience with Bandlab? They make their own mobile interfaces. My cursory reading on the subject implies you can record on mobile and tablet with their interfaces and edit using their chrome-browser based software AND you can import your tracks into Sonar if you want to edit on Desktop.

An often repeated statement I read on this board is that tube amps are superior to solid state amps. That's too broad a statement to be true. I've even seen someone say NOT to buy a solid state amp, and then recommend a BOSS Katana - I get what they meant, but that has to be a bit confusing for folks new to amplifiers.

My irrefutable case for solid State:

1. If you find a solid state amp that provides you a tone you like, then you're far better off, since solid state amps are more durable and less expensive to maintain.
2. Solid state amps don't have to warm up, you click the on button and voila, you're ready.
3. Solid state amps are typically a bit lighter.
4. If you're using an amp model

I found a shop in China that will make custom guitars. Needed a bass for bed tracks, so I had them make this. It's quartersawn African zebron. Plays really nice and sounds great.

Here's a guitar I recently acquired and I'm looking for feedback on it. Just aesthetics. I've grown kind of attached to it, but I wonder if it's just me. Love it? Hate it? Let me know.

Negative criticism welcome, you won't hurt my feelings, I need a reality check.

Fun test and educational (not mine), I found it on the Seymour Duncan discussion forum by a user I'll credit later. There are two different guitars playing essentially the same riff in a single sound cloud file...

...you can see a break in the waveform where one stops and the other starts. One is a Telecaster and one is an Epiphone es335, they are both using the same pickup.

It was way tougher than I thought it should have been and I have both Telecasters and 335s.

Put in your guesses and I'll post his answer, and a link to his answer.

EDIT: "Both guitars have a Tv Jones classic plus in the bridge, 500k pots and .033 caps,
