I have an X series Jackson Soloist. Absolutely change the screws. Also next time you have your Floyd Rose out, tighten the whammy bar post on the bridge itself.
As for tuning. I usually tune G, D, B, A, HIGH E, LOW E. If you have the bridge blocked off (I use a broken pencil with masking tape wrapped around it until it's the right thickness), it really does make it easier to tune that way. And always tune in the playing position as gravity will affect the tension of the bridge.
Running really do be like that. Hated it for 3 months then felt depressed if I didn't do it
You are loved and respected from this man. No questions ever.
Trying to learn more metal riffs. I'm not really a beginner, but not really intermediate yet. I've played off and on for years and years, but never took it too seriously.
So my question, what are some rather simple but fun metal riffs/solos to play?
Update from Fender. The SL5X was a fender special run that featured an HSH pickup configuration and blue burst finish. Other than that it's the same as a series x soloist.
The Spark40 has an app and Bluetooth. You just control everything from your phone. Check out some YouTube reviews
Ordered a Jackson Soloist which will be here today. Ordering a Positive Grid Spark 40 in the next couple of days. I imagine I'll use downloaded presets for the Spark 40 that resemble popular thrash metal setups since that's mostly what I play. But I will also browse other presets.
I just jam in my bedroom for funsies. No plans to play shows or anything.
Working kbin link?
Hopefully it's already been taken care of. It is used and bought from a music store. I guess there's no way of knowing until it's here

From what little I can find the SL5X and SL3 are essentially the same guitar except the 5x has HSH pickup configuration and is manufactured in Indonesia.
Can anyone clarify for me a bit more on the differences between these two guitars?
Definitely not afraid of software. I'll look into that
Had a deal I couldn't refuse on a chuggy chuggy shreddy guitar. Need an decent practice amp. I'll definitely be playing some clean stuff or very little over drive stuff of my favorite 90s songs. But obviously the guitar is a thrash animal and that is my favorite shit, so what tiny amp combo can at least put out something remotely close to heavy? Price range is $250 used or less
I tend to noodle around and play metal, but I want to find a guitar that has some versatility. I'd just buy a Jackson otherwise.
Full disclosure I'm 36 and haven't played since I was a teenager. However, my friend let me borrow his Fender resonator acoustic recently and I reallllllllly want to get an electric now.
As looking at the Yamaha Pacifica but it seems like the tone might not be what I'm looking for. I do however love the look of the guitar.
Hey let's not kink shame, he's an asshole for other reasons
Wow that sensation of enjoying yourself in a moment and just taking it for a moment of your own happiness and not that you need to give it to anyone else is REALLY validating. Thank you for that. I needed to read that.
That was such a good YouTube channel
Yeah I think reframing my time and refocusing on "me" things might help.
I've always been extremely extroverted for the most part, and I'll say you're right. I have a good 4-5 friends that I talk to every single day about all sorts of things, including my loneliness. It's good. Guys and girls. Different perspectives.
I understand it's normal to want to be in a relationship, but how do you feel happy when you aren't?
I'm 36, and while my love life has been varied and interesting, over the last few years I've started to want to settle down. I know it doesn't happen overnight. But recently it's been weighing on me more and more. I reminisce about past relationships. I feel hopeless about meeting someone in the future who shares my values.
On the one hand you hear things like "happiness comes from within", but on the other we are social animals and 99% of us want to feel loved and to love.
We barely understand how other humans feel. I'd venture to say it's pretty profound to really make that connection. Usually it's in retrospect when you can see how someone really felt or what they meant in a moment. Then we're talking about other animals? Who fucking knows man.

I always have trouble firing my glutes. When I do squats it feels like all quads.
For me flair is probably the most important. I follow a lot of organized sports and being able to quickly identify which team someone supports helps the conversation move along without having to write "as a fan of..." in every single comment. And this isn't a like talking shit, sports guy thing. It's genuinely extremely useful for broadening the depth of the conversation.
Also not having to scroll to find the reply box. Super annoying. Super easy fix.
That being said I'm all in on kbin. Deleted Reddit. Not going back.
