True temperament is hugely unnecessary. A well intonated and setup guitar will be very in tune up and down the neck. Same goes for those compensated nuts
modelling is just as good as profiling, sound-wise. yeah sure, it's neat that software and plug-ins are doing it as well now, but it's just not necessary with the quality of modelling available. much less flexible too
Not out of my own guitars, no. But I've played enough different guitars through the same rigs to know that the difference would be moot. Feel is definitely noticeable though, obviously
not NEARLY as much as changing the knobs on an amp will change your tone. Not even worth considering. get a bridge based on feel and looks equally, then price... Never tone
make sure your locking nut is tightened down well enough too, both at the pads AND where it mounts to the neck. if the nut slides around at all, it can create issues like this
Well he obviously doesn't need the money right away. Kind of a good idea... Price gear so high that you don't have to worry about actually selling it if you don't REALLY want to sell it and if you get a buyer, score!
i'll never support this model. if everything goes to subscription i'll just stick to legacy software. just what everyone needs, another lamprey on the bank account month to month. having to subscribe only to ditch a short while later sounds like more of a pain to me... especially if you have to...
All floating bridges are gonna be off a few cents pullup or dive. You may not hear it, but a tuner will show. You can make it closer with lube, or sometimes a post swap will help. Developing some re-center tricks will make any trem usable. Either way, 1000 series floyds are definitely top tier
while i trust MIJ sight unseen more, i have seen a few of these in music stores and the quality was on par for sure. looks like you got a good one, nice score!
Amplitube 5 is very good. All these amp sims are good now, though (except for positive grid bias). Just gotta find the interface you like best as they are all accurate sounding
