Squier Bass VI finished up this week for a customer. Setup on the Stringjoy Signatures ‘Balanced Medium’ Bass VI string set, huge transformation in play-ability over the factory strings and setup.
I've been seeing enough ads for Stringjoy that I finally emailed them to see if they could help me out on a string set for the hurdy gurdy. The current ones are hobbled together from various guitar and orchestral singles and they're not ideal.
In light of this, I've also ordered new machine tuners, a right angle screwdriver, and strap buttons.
The current tuner situation is no screws (sort of by instruction due to lack of space, hence the screwdriver, but I also never had them) and there's maybe some slippage causing my issues, so the added stability will be nice.
And if I'm taking the strings off to replace the tuners and the strings I hope to get, then I won't feel so bad opening it up (which requires string removal) to screw in the strap buttons, which I need to do for the inner stabilizer.

Needed something to do to kill time while waiting on a hard drive format, so I swapped the nut and restrung my @officialibanezguitars RGILX7. Pretty much the last thing I could upgrade on this guitar.

I’m gonna play some of my set with a “blindfold”, and I’d like to know everyone’s opinion as to whether, or not it impacts my playing! Please join me, as I’d love to get your opinion about my playing, with, and without, the “blindfold”! Thank you!
I haven’t written a new piece, in a while, for many reasons, but I’ve also been improvising a lot.I finally started writing a new piece:) It’s very much a work in progress, but I’m happy with most of it, so far.I’m using a Holzer Guitar (with Stringjoy strings), a Dunlop volume pedal, and a TC Electronic Flashback, through a Fender amp!The volume swells are looped in the first part, then just straight playing in the second part!Thank you for watching, and stay safe!

TAKING CARE OF YOUR STRINGS AND FRETBOARD IS ESSENTIAL Everyone hates cleaning (I actually enjoy this ritual lot), but keeping your neck and fretboard free of dirt and grime can make your guitar easier and more enjoyable to play… The strings and fretboard are the parts of your guitar that get the most exposure to your hands, and that means that it’s very easy for sweat, grime, and all sorts of unpleasant things to build up, and that’s definitely a bad thing. First things first, and this might seem obvious, but if you want to minimize the amount of dirt that accumulates on your strings when you play, how about washing your hands before you pick up your instrument? There are also many other products designed to clean your fretboard and frets themselves without damaging them. If you take care of your guitar, it’ll take care of you. Give it a try, and you’ll not only find that your guitar plays and sounds better for longer, but it’ll save you a few quid in new strings as well. #guitarstrings #guitarpicks #guitarplayer #guitarcare #cleanguitar #rombopicks #stringjoy #guitarmusic #guitarmaitenance #guitarbeginner #guitarhacks #guitarlesson #guitarchord #6strings #guitarpick (at Germany) https://www.instagram.com/p/ChsCooHspOY/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Trying on my new (to me, its from the 80's) @peaveyelectronics VTM120 I acquired from my buddy @jdecay1987 . Can't go even up to 2 in my apartment here, but I can definitely hear it's potential. Running it through my old ass MusicLord 1x15 cab, with my @officialibanezguitars RGIXL7 with @emgpickups 57/66 set, @stringjoy strings and @rattlesnakecables line in Sidewinder Black. Busta approves. #yardgnome #metal #Montana #doggo (at Kalispell, Montana) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cfj5stMp8O1/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
