Hey, go to Yahoo! and look up " talk box"
it's a lot safer to make your own one too, you can really mess up your amp with a Heil one.

Well put Rick. he's definitely the least talented in a mediocre metal band. Oh I'm sorry, I forgot about their hip hop roots yo! represent.

: It's usually safe.But Calzone cases are the best way to
: go.Take off your strings,before flying.Wrap the case with duct tape and wrap the neck with a small towel. I also,have an insurance policy when I have to travel by
: plane.But thats just me.
: Good Luck

I always call ahead to see what kind of plane or jet Im gonna be flying on and ask about storing your guitar.....some times itll fit into an over head....sometimes they have a vertical storage locker......Ive even strapped into a seat that was unoccupied.....but I always check it at the gate if it has to be put in with all the luggage that way it doesnt get bounced around getting to the plane and they give it right back at the gate sometimes when you get off....just depends on the attitudes and the airline......oh yea and everything that Eddie said is a good idea but Ive never done any of that and have had no problems....and the key is to tell them how valuable that it is and that it needs special care...most times the stewardess will bend the rules a little for you.....godd luck....Trip

Yes, a processor sounds more powerful, but in a band situation it usually blows. Especially with a small amp.

: When doing ANY adjustment on a Floyd, do yourself a favor and let a tech do the adjustment. It will save you alot of headache and frustration.

Not at all ... providing you know the basics of setting up a bridge. The trick to dealing with Floyds is to treat it like a fixed bridge guitar. You first put a block of wood in the guitar to hold the bridge in it's desired final rest position (depending on the guitar style and version of Floyd you use, the two easiest places to consider are under the back end of the bridge in the scooped out cavity on the surface of the guitar or in between the metal block under the bridge and the guitar body through the underside of the guitar). Assuming you are starting with a set up that is close to what you want, you use a block that just fits, and is not being held in place with much force when your bridge is floating, but does not allow much room for play either. Then slightly tighten the screws on the springs so that the block is held firmly in place (if you are going from lighter guage strings to heavier guage strings, tighten it a bit more). At this point you can do pretty much anything you want, including playing with saddle heights, intonation etc - in fact you take all the damn strings off at once and give the neck a good clean without worry! After your new strings are in place AND BEFORE SCREWING DOWN THE LOCKING NUT, make sure things are in tune using your tuning machines (and leave all your fine tuners at about the 1/4 to half way point so you can later use them to raise pitch more than to lower it). Give the srings a good stretch and retune (and repeat) until there is no more detuning caused by stretching the strings, and then begin gradually lossening the screws on the springs until there is almost no tensionleft on the block. At this point slide the block out, do one last tuning with your tuning machines, and then clamp the nut. You should end up with a set up where your bridge is at the correct playing angle (flat surface of the underside of the bridge parallel to the surface of the guitar), perfectly in tune, and perfectly intoned.

This process may sound complicated but it is actually quite simple once you get the right block and it allows you to change a set of strings and be back in perfect pitch in about 5-10 minutes (i.e. same as a fixed bridge guitar). This approach avoids the seemingly endless tweeks to set up a floyd if you do so leaving the whole system floating.

: How long? Until it is clean. I prefer the Martin spray. It shines up really well and it smells clean too. Also, it doesn't leave a noticeable film on the guitar like other polishes do.

I personally like Ax Wax (from dMS) that stuff rocks!
Lasts alot longer than anything I used before. 1 little bottle is like a lifetime supply.
