Thanks
I'll check it out again later. I think the middle wasn't as noisy, but not silent like bridge.
I'll probably keep to bridge mostly anyways, but would still like an acceptable option.

For anyone looking for a convenient headphone practice amp, I've had the Boss Katana Go since yesterday and it's really goddamn awesome. Highly recommend it.
this is an interesting product as I live in a small house with little kids whose sleep i desperately need to not disturb. any particular headphones you use/would think work best for giving the best sound?
I use the Beyerdynamic DT-770 80 ohms variant and it sounds great, but any good/decent headphones will work fine. Probably worth thinking how long you'll use them for and consider comfort a priority and whether you want open or closed back.
The single coil pickups will pick up any ambient RF noise and you will hear it if it's low enough frequency (presumably your wireless headphones are above human hearing); the bridge hum buckers doesn't because it was specifically designed to avoid that issue.
You can fix a lot of single-coil noise by shielding the control cavities of the guitar if the design allows for it, I took the time on my '54 re-issue Strat and it's very, very quiet now. But that's a lot of effort if you're just getting into this.
Only if the middle pickup is reverse-wound, reverse-polarity— which has been the norm for decades and decades, but if you use 50s style single coils or a super cheap guitar where the neck and middle pickups are identical then it won't be.
I think the portal might have had some gain too. Need to find a patch that is lower and tinker
I don't think they're was grounding problems.
Also, it's in a basement with a bunch of things like 75 TV, Xbox, led bulbs etc. Wonder if the outlet could cause some noise too.

In my experience you need to get really close to LEDs to get a much noise from them. Contrast with an incandescent bulb or CRT display and you get hum very easily from single coils.
Edit: you can also flip these things off and see if there's an immediate improvement- no power means no interference.
I haven't been able to play guitar (or bass or piano really) for the last year due to an arm injury. I've made a lot of progress and I decided to put a pot of gold at the end of this rainbow. Something to keep me motivated in strengthening my arm and getting healthy (there's also a certification for my career that I plan on getting first in the next month or so). Then I'm diving in and playing music every fucking day.
So... here's the last acoustic I'll ever need to buy.

Partner and I closed on a new home and we're making the living room a full band space. It's really the first time I've been able to really crank it in years. First thing I set up was my Silver Sky through a Mark V.
Where'd you find it? Seems to be sold out everywhere. I want it because it actually works for bass. I would've bought a Fender Mustang Micro a long time ago if it worked with bass.
Fancy! Last until you decide you need one with a different body shape :P

You know, I haven't messed with any outside of dreads, but you're probably right, lol.
I was thinking I might need a Gibson in about ten years.

Holy smokes. Is that a D-45?
Damn pretty! Congrats man!
Thanks!
D-41 actually. Part of me is kind of sweating on owning such an instrument. I never thought about humidifying or anything like that before, lol.
I use a fairly cheap one— just needs to have a hygrometer so you can keep the room to a fixed humidity.
A bunch of new Epiphones with the new Gibson headstock launched today.

Anyone invest in Sunn?
But I've always liked Customs. And that white SG is sweet.
But I really like the Thunderbird in Inverness Green. 😍

I'm still very early on learning guitar and only own a single pedal(Lizard Queen EHX/JHS collab from Daniel Danger and Josh in the video as i've followed Daniel's music and prints he's put out for years) but I love shit like this.

Gorgeous, I somehow had never heard of them. Nice video with Celisse on the site.
Bought a Neural DSP plug-in during their sale. Some Youtube videos showed me the Rabea plugin would give me exactly what I wanted.
Then I had immediate buyers remorse with the Ilok nonsense.
But after toying with it, it's pretty cool. The Overlord Synth might be the real deal. Buyers remorse is lifting. A little.

I wanted to try Neural DSP but got intimidated with all the different Artist packs. I went with Amplitude 5 instead. It's ok, nothing special. Still hunting for a good direct to computer sound.
My current software setup is using Two Notes Genome for amp sim and loading York Audio IRs into it. Sounds GREAT.
I just wanted the guitar tracking synthesizer. It tracks great and has plenty of tone options for what I want. Still barely touched it though.
Happy with the actual guitar tones too. Seems like a really versatile pack.
I got a refurb Scarlett Solo and it worked great. Have a Behringer I tried and it was okay, just really annoying on the software side since it had no official driver or anything.

Yeah I messed around with Behringer, M-Audio, etc. interfaces and they all have some kind of headache. Hands down Focusrite Scarlett is the way to go.
A belated NGD! From my new favorite guitar maker, Reverend Guitars. This thing plays like a fucking dream man!
Reverends are great! Love that burst. A buddy of mine is endorsed by them so he has quite a few.

Looks like Sam Ash is on life support. I would cash in any store points/gift cards right now if you have any.

Sam Ash rumoured to be closing all of its stores unless it can find a buyer
Sam Ash began closing 18 of its 44 US stores back in March, but now it seems the historic company is going to shutter its brick and mortar retail operation entirely.

I saw the YouTube thumbnail before reading your text and thought "that dude looks a lot like Daniel Danger" lol.

So I ended up ordering an Epi '50s Les Paul Goldtop for $525. Should be here Monday! My first Gibson-shaped object. Never even played one. Gonna probably keep it in C Standard.
I bought a Epi Gold Top 50s standard last year at Guitar Center when it was on sale for $499. The fretwork was atrocious so I returned it. Of course they just put it back on the rack as is. Hopefully yours is a good one.
