Q&A Time with: thesteve

i have the guitars listed in my sig, that is:
1996 Fender Jagstang (fiesta red, with the 50th anniversary sticker). i replaced the stock bridge pickup with a Seymour Duncan JB.
1990s (unsure of year) Fender Made in Mexico Jazz Bass
1999 (the year I bought it at least) Mitchell MD-100 acoustic.

as far as guitar goes, i just play at church right now. my playing style is influenced by different things, but mostly I love layering guitar parts (i'm really loving my BOSS DD-5 delay for that). I guess you could call my style a mix of the Edge (U2) and some classic blues (i'm still really learning alot of that). when I first started playing I was really into pop-punk (mxpx) and ska (five iron frenzy) so that's also definitely reflected in my playing style.
for the bass, well i'm your favorite bassist in your favorite band (www.myspace.com/yourfavoriteband)

is there any way to fix fret buzz

**thesteve** · 03-15-2005, 12:29 AM

well, you can try to raise the bridge or change the truss rod tension.
also sometimes adjusting the intonation can change that.

what kind of guitar are you having this problem on?

my classical, its the only guitar i have, but sumtimes i play my dads ovation, now that one buzzez like a bee

**thesteve** · 03-15-2005, 10:48 AM

does it buzz when plugged in, or is it fret buzz (noticeable when played without beign plugged in)? I realize that I just jumped to the conclusion that it's an a/e, but whatever. is the buzzing mostly present at the lower frets or when played open? if so there's a chance that it just needs a good truss rod adjustment.

none of the guitars that our family has has amp pickups

**thesteve** · 03-17-2005, 05:53 PM

then it's likely fret buzz. you either need a truss rod adjustment or a bridge raising i'd guess

who put the ram in the ramalamadingdong?

**thesteve** · 03-19-2005, 06:42 PM

many people have asked that...and nearly as many have taken credit for it.

so that being said, just about who wanted to did it.

good question. i know attaching vids is allowed, but i don't think anyone has pushed the upper limits (at least an upper limit is not noted in the FAQ) this is definitely a question better sent to the "site questions" forum.

well that's a rather complex question. i think teenagers in the black community recognized it at "their" music. in the case of suburban whites, they see it as "living vicarously" through the foreign, urban life of another. plus, many young Americans see "pimpin" and whatever as some sort of ideal. i blame our society's take on instant gratification.

apart simply means separate...at their smallest, apartments are still separated segments of a building.

Quote:

and why do you park on the driveway and drive on a parkway?

because i like it that way.

i hope you wouldn't bury any of the survivors...those the burial of the deceased should be conducted by their relatives.

i have no idea...i never watched it very much. i think this goes back to the want for vicarious living among America.
