Look for Ralph Patt’s site, and check out the “vanilla” changes to most standards. Good to see them stripped down to basics.

I’ve made JM bridges with the threaded saddles work fine, but I’m happy with my Jag with the Mustang style bridge. Key to setting up these is heavier strings, and a wound third. Flats for a +1. I never wrap the posts, I let the bridge swing as designed, since it means I can bend chords in tune!

Or get a better drummer...

I did the audio and video production on this, and you’ll also see me playing my tele - comping behind the trombone soloist.

I have a Cort G250P - that’s the stratty HSS model they make, but with a Wilkinson/Fishman piezo bridge. I’m just starting to dig into the possibilities by running the electric and acoustic signals to separate outs. I spent a pittance onit, relative to any other guitar with these capabilities.

I use Reaper to create backing tracks with click for the show I do at seniors homes and on cruise ships (on my principal instruments - woodwinds.) I write the arrangements in Finale, then export MIDI files to Reaper. Drums are done with Addictive Drums 2, though I have used a live drummer as...

I’m using a Joyo American sound in a theatre setup at the moment as an amp replacement.

Peavey Studio Pro. Not enough clean power.

I just got into the Hip when I was working on ships over the past couple of years. They kept me feeling connected to Canada when I was on the other side of the world.

You need to get admin to do it.
