Hello again..was just browsing back a little and saw the post about new members posting once only. For me it was many reasons, i also went MIA (missing in action) after my first post. doin other stuff on the computer but also the fact the to see any reply i realised that you pretty much have to check up on the site everyday..and i'm not a person to stick to routines too well. I'll try makin a effort though. and anyway, my post count is now up to THREE!!! :) Soon, i'll be cateorised as ancient?.....nah nvm, there's all you guys takin the podium already. I do love the vibe on the site though. Always refreshing when i do take a peak.

Peace everyone. (Master Yoda style..full of wisdom) haha.. not me though..i'm not wise by a mile.

Oh and the Steve Irwin thing. I think the guy is a legend. He can be how he is with animals, doin all his crazy stuff becoz i think he has some weird connection to them. He's master of his art the way satch is master of his guitar. I respect both guys deeply so please don't bomb him just coz he speaks funny. :)

962:

What exactly is difference between the JS1000 and the JS1200?

Are the differences consistently the same between year models?

Sounds like you may not be familiar with a Whammy bar or how the springs work for tensioning the strings.

A couple of tips:

First and foremost - Until you are explicitly comfortable with the guitar tremolo system do not turn the screws that hold the springs in place. The most obvious problem this will lead to is either the bar too low when completely in tune or the bar too high, depending on which direction you turned the screws.

Replace with a set of strings that is of the same diameter as the one on the guitar. If you put a higher gauged string in any of the six you will likely have a whammy bar that is too low. Vice versa if you replace with a lighter gauge.

If the guitar is in need of new strings replace them one at a time - this will help you tune it. Only release the nut clamp of the string you are currently replacing - before you move to the next pair in the set clamp the nut clamp of the current string you just replaced - Only two strings should be de-clamped at a time. As you replace strings tune the entire guitar, once in tune, stretch the new string. Do this by holding the string at the first fret while pulling the string with your Pic hand. I usually pull the string to stretch it beginning around the 22 fret then work my way down to thwe first fret, then I begin again in the other dierection toward the bridge. If you really cannot afford another set of strings right away then don't be too crazy on the pulling. Since I usually have hundreds of sets I don't give a crap if I break it. If it breaks then it was weak and was gonna break quickly anyway. Now tune the entire guitar again.

Note1: if you are only replacing one string then there is no need to release the nut clamps on all the strings - just the pair which includes the one in need of replacing.

Note2: If you broke a string while playing you do not have to replace the string - you can release some string from the tuning key about two inches and pull it back to the bridge clamp - tune as in Note1 above.

Note3: If you replace all the strings at once before tuning any of them you will likely find yourself wondering what the hell is wrong with your guitar. "I keep tuning it but, it keeps on going out of tune and the whammy bar is too high" In this case keep tuning until you get it entirely in tune. Be sure to stretch the strings well before you begin your hour of tuning or you will be tuning for two hours.

There you go

All, Anyone or Everyone:

I must have been in hyperspace too long -

Is there a new T2J CD project currently in the works?

If so when is the deadline for submits?

I assume anyone can submit.

Perhaps a link to info would be appropriate.

Thanks

Hi guys. Holly and the crepes! A 10 page day!

Big Bunny: heh, what would you want the entire continent of Australia for? Gullible mice, eh?

Bahduh: here in the "sunburnt country" you don't even need to be outside for half an hour before your skin gets burned. In Tassie, we cop the brunt of the lack of ozone layer, so you get sunburnt even in winter.

"Michelle: Nothing helps. You just have to wait it out. The weird part is not only does it hurt down there, it also hurts in the pit of your stomach at the same time. Ice would only help if it was *really* hot outside. " agreed. Even if it doesn't hurt in the region of impact (as with soft contact) the "sick" feeling is what causes the doubling over.

DCK: "go to the chat" amen to that, brother

If I posted like you guys do, I'd be up to 8000+ by now.

Leke: hi, hope you enjoy Satch in Auckland.

Delfino: I used to play soccer at school and when I lived at university (indoor and outdoor) and I often copped it in the goolies when I was in goals. Not fun. Especially when you hit the deck and the ball rolls out of reach and the opposition think they are so good that they can kick a goal while the keeper is incapacitated. (Straight after kicking it directly to him from right in front close to goal.)

So many pages....

I have writers cramp...

silent shady: even if you add a hundred solos in st anger.......

steven...right bro..think we'd better talk over it on the phone..thanks for the mail..btw yu have one too..cheers and god bless..

lucysorets...hi......glad to know that yu saw ronaldinho and all perform live...i watched it live on tv too...hoorah..........bye.

artanis......sunburn and all....yu auzzies better start thinking about the kyoto protocol,...yu and the americans are against it...why.....what du yu guys mean by saying that its very expensive......top it all...america is the country that pollutes the air most...lol...cheers mate,

jazzy......ganja man...how are yu..hey have to agree with yu regarding one thing though....st anger really sucks....it does not have any trademark vibe of metallica in it....i guess metallica is history now.....hahahahahahhahahhahha.

alexandre...michelle,,,,cheese...suzie2000....hi.

Hey Joe -

What are the chances of scoring a guitar lesson with you?

Oh, man. You know when you get a bad hair day? It really sucks. Well, I'm having a bad hair week. Gay.

Delfino - That certainly is harsh, but somehow I can't help feeling that it serves you right for drinking Carling!!!! lol

mowlie, yeah I have to admit I'm finding it hard to get some decent sounds out of it, but I still have yet to read the "handbook" so I really should do that....find out about speaker simulations and stuff. Thing is, you can still get a rough idea of what it sounds like by using the 'manual' function and going through different amp models, tone setups and effects. And they all sound only average. I am so picky about tone, it's probably a bad thing, but hey, I'm sure I'll find something...

yoda...glad to know about yur friend....

steven...cheer up bro...take care and god bless.....yu have mail...regards to yur folks......

Joe Said:This year will see me and the boys heading to Australia, New Zealand and Japan.

Steven Wilde...yohoho...sup

Zen - the Cross set is sounding pretty ok...

now it just needs refinement..

Cuthbert / Civgeek Yeah the toll road is not common thing over here but it is a long accepted principal. I think that people get upset if they are not given a choice whether they use it or not. There are alternative routes for nearly all the toll roads that I'm aware of, but in that case you are obviously paying for the convienience. I agree that the management and allocation of funds is greatly improved also. I noticed a comment about 'hot lanes' in that report. I imagine that is similar to the priority lanes that we have for buses and more recently for multiple occupancy vehicles. The latter being a move to try and encourage car sharing for daily commuting. They have also introduced a congestion charge in London. Last year that netted the Council about £80M net, and they are set to increase the charge this year with a view to netting about £130M. The revenue from that is going to be used (alledgedly - lol) to improve and overhaul public transport systems and the road network. As for tax on fuel - lmao man, *we* pay tax on fuel - lol. The road tax system is graded so that you pay less for a motorcycle than for a car. The car tax is cheaper for smaller engined vehicles to try and reduce pollution. HGV's pay the most road tax, as they should, causing the most wear to the road surface.

Alexandre I'm good thanks man, soon be the weekend !:-)
