James Bond Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 54 minutes ago, Gibson_Guy87 said: I have a question and this seemed like the appropriate thread for it. I'm getting a really bad fret buzz on the 7th fret on the D string of my acoustic. It's only on that string too, none of the other 7th frets are doing it. Would it be a neck issue or time for new strings? I replaced the strings in like December or January and a yearly tune up done in October Could be as simple as an action adjustment needed especially if you only get it set-up once a year. Definitely time for new strings too. Barring those, at a worst case scenario it could be a dead fret or a slight bump in the neck. Both are treatable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clamp the strings before the first fret, and after the last fret. You can use a capo on the first fret if you need to. Now check the space between the frets and strings. You should be able to fit between a business card and a penny between the frets and strings. If the strings and frets touch, that's your issue. If everything looks ok there, you either have a lifted fret or an action issue with either the nut (more likely) or the bridge (not as likely with buzz on the 7th). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Credit where it is due for taking a problem and not only fixing it, but making it stylish. However. Fuck them in the ass for not making it standard on EVERY MODEL THEY MAKE that suffer from said affliction. Gibson, as a company? Fuck. I can't stand them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silverburst80 Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 I am in guitar heaven at this moment in time. I decided to down scale a little and get rid of my Dual Rec and have replaced it with a Mesa Mark 5 25 and my fucking god i loooove it. It has 2 channels, the first has three modes (clean,fat,crunch) and i've found a tone on the clean by pushing the gain which is like a ballsy, bluesy Hendrixy tone and the crunch mode is pure hard rock bliss. The second channel also has 3 modes (MK IIC+,MK IV, Extreme) and the MK Iv is straight up Metallica and my neighbours got a nice rendition of Sad But True this afternoon, the Extreme mode is as vicious as it sounds and i haven't really messed with the MK IIC mode yet. Of course the Mark series is famous for it's graphic EQ so really there is endless possibilities tone wise. It's also multi watt, it has 10 or 25 watts to play around with, 10 watts for the bedroom and 25 for whenever my lazy ass friend who plays the drums is down to jam. I've owned about 5 or 6 heads (Marshall,Orange and Mesa) and this is the best i've ever owned. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah obviously selling my Rectifier softened the blow in that regard and the store had a sale on gear, what are they in the UK about 2000 quid i'd imagine?. Not the cheapest but for what they can do...man there's so much variety in tone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never been too fussed about the Rectifier, but the Mark Vs are something special, you should post some clips so I can be jealous! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah i've tried that with other heads before but i can only record on my phone which doesn't get the sounds across at all, particularly at any decent volume you just don't get the nuances of the sound whatsoever.

Silverburst80 Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 (edited) Here ya go, hope the videos (and my playing) does it some justice.

OmarBradley Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 Sounds good, definitely hear the "Mark" tone. 10 watts is still pretty loud for a bedroom! 21 hours ago, James Bond said: My SG Custom finally arrived.

Pics, clips! Yeah its loud, the master volume is at 3 there on 10 watts and can certainly be heard throughout most of the house but not pissing off the neighbours. I've had a shot of 25 watts it's mega!. My wife was out so wanted to crank it more for the clips but the phone couldn't handle it and sounded shit ( the recording not the amp). Oh and did i mention it has a headphone jack as well?, so late night playing is possible if you wish. How they have fitted some much into such a relatively small head amazes me, incredible engineering.
