check the input jack on the guitar....sometimes the the eternal metal will get  bent and not make contact with your cable plug......but definitly check your wires in the guitar......peace

By pushing in the cord into the the bass, you are probably activating a switch to turn the pre-amp on.  Unplug the bass when not in use.  The part about plugging into the external amp has nothing to do with it.  Either way, by plugging the cord into the guitar, you are leaving an open circuit.  Down goes the battery.  Good luck.

Take it to your local music store, anywhere they can get repairs. Don't toy around with it and don't lean it up against anything. Take it to get repaired, I'm sure it'll be fine ^^

Ibanez goes through models like water on a hot day. You can probably call a Guitar center and have them do a chain wide look up. If they have it new or used in a store they can transfer it to your nearest location or sell it to you on line. Also check Ebay.

depends on how deep they are---i leave mine --they.re like battle scars--gives the guitar a little character---reminders of good and bad times past!!!

Typically, I'll use the B string on my 5 string for material requiring those really low notes.  However, sometimes it becomes necessary to detune my E string due the the left-hand gymnastics that would be required to use the low notes on the B.  That is, some songs simply don't lend themselves to grabbing a C# on the 2nd fret of the B string; it can be MUCH easier if the E string is tuned down.\n\nIf the strings are hitting the pickups, there's a few possibilities: your action is too low to support detuning or the pickups are too high.  Lowering the pickups is the easiest; changing your action will require checking and fixing the intonation.\n\nIf the bass you're using still isn't working right, I'd suggest looking into a rental for a few days from your local music store.  Or, if you don't mind dropping a few bucks, a buddy of mine has the 6 string bass in the sources hyperlink and loves it.  $200 is short money.

if your that attached to it let a pro sort it out dude, your guitar is like a woman, treat with care, respect and love and only ever get her the best.

It's a 52 tele, ash with a black scratchplate. Looks like it is modded with a middle pick-up. Not Fender standard.

This is a common problem!\n\nTry the following:\n\n1 Use emery paper to slightly roughen the inside of the seat tube of the bike frame, be careful not to remove paint from the top of the frame or the outside.\n\n2 Surprisingly enough, lubricate the seat tube with white grease.\n\n3 Check that the little cutout at the back of the seat tube is not closed up - if so your seat post is too small for your frame tube!\n\nNow try again.\n\nIf no luck:\n\n3 Go to your bike shop and buy a shim of the correct diameter for your frame (they'll have a range in stock - either take your bike or your seat post to enable the shop to select the right shim).\n\n4 Change the bolt for a lever type - this tightens much more effectively (and allows you to instantly adjust or remove the saddle without tools).\n\nGood luck!

I know this has nothing to do ith your question, but your email address isn't verified, and I really want/need you help with my guitar. \nI was thinking about your other reply and  the string only buzzes when it's open. Does that mean it is a burr in the nut? \nAlso could you tell me what the safest way to change the string is? (I'm such a tele virgin!) \nThing is, it got brought two weeks ago, so I wasn't expecting anything to go wrong this quickly! Plus its Easter weekend, so everywhere is closed or I'm at work so I can't take it back to the shop and get them to sort it. \nThank you, its great to be able to ask someone who actually has the guitar to tell me what to do. \nOf course I like calexico. Again it's nice to find someone who knows who they are!

Springs inside guitar amps are used for a reverb effect.  If you pick up the amp an inch or so and drop it back to the ground (with the amp on), you'll hear a crazy loud spring-reverb sound.  Many newer amps use electronics instead of the mechanical "spring" reverb.

It sounds like either little blisters or callouses are forming. Callouses can be front some repetitive action like palying the guitar.

there may be an attenuator in there--buy i wouldn,t mess with it---most wah wah pedals are nothing more than a tone control--sell the one you have and try another at the music store before you buy it---i think dunlop makes a dimebag model that has a wider range than most---good luck!!

Actually,you could do like Hendrix did with his right handed Stratocaster guitar and just flip your guitar around like you hold it (which would technically be upside down),and restring the strings so that your fat "E" is on top ! EADGB  This may work ,till you can get a lefty .Your knobs may be at the top of guitar now ,but you should still be able to jam ! :o)

You are going to have to get a stand that holds the guitar by the neck. Not that the typical stand won't work, it's just that sometimes they are too low to the ground and the end of the guitar hits the floor.

Yes, its not uncommon, somehow it picks up radio signals...it just is picking up some frequency nearby...sometimes I get it through my studio while I'm recording...it generally goes away after awhile...try moving your amp to a different spot in the room. or to another room...it should stop.
