A little help

[Hardrock69]

Nor was it meant to be, jackoff. GO AWAY!

[GAR]

me and my pops put shims under the nut (with carefully cut holes for the screws, can't tell you how many times I cut the whole shim on accident)

You can cut shim strips from a soda can using scissors, and use a paper punch to knock out the two holes for the mounting screws.

Also if your fingerboard is unequally planed, or has a different radius than the nut is made to fit, you can double-over a shim and punch a hole for just one screw, and mount it on the side that's too high.

This trick will lower your action on the half portion of the nut that has no shim.

Gary; the kids already told you that he's not interested in what you have to say.

Take his hint, along with the hints or everyone else on this board and bugger off.

I'll go the coward one better. I have some brass shim stock that is .005 that I got cleaning out an old machinist's shop. It's easier to cut than soda cans, uniform in thickness, and is made for just such usage. If you want, I'll send you some for nothing.....

[VanHalenFan5150]

I think my dad might have plenty-- not sure, but he has like everything when it comes to tools and parts and everything...

Thanks though

[jhale667]

You can cut shims for Floyd nuts out of old/blank credit card stock, too...FYI

[The Real GAR]

A quarter-inch deflection at the 14th fret? That's .250, or ten times the dimension we're talking about at first fret for clearance.

You fucking asshole, you can see it's 3/32 of an inch. Are you blind?

Quit posting shit and give me my account back

Lefty's gonna be mad when it finds out.

PROVE you're the "Real" GARfail - POST A PICTURE OF THAT CHARVETTE, ASAP!

[ThrillsNSpills]

You figure he would just gargle a picture of one and post it since it's his main posing tool.

[chefcraig]

Wouldn't it be proven by NOT posting a picture?

[The Real GAR]

You know what I've said about pictures of my Gear. How can I make you fuckers believe that I am me.

OH - I thought it was the hacker that was the compulsive liar, no-pic posting BITCH. My mistake.

I've told you my policy of gear pictures. Everyone here know I own a Charvette, I don't need to prove that.

some guy named gar claims to own one. you too?

I am GAR and I don't claim, I do own one. People like to imagine that I don't own the things I claim to

Nice pencil bridge-block you've got going there, GARfail.

how will we know when you get your account back?

It used to be a rule here if you impersonate someone, you were banned without question.

- or was that vonnies place?

[Igosplut]

It's fairly rare stuff, they haven't had a real use for it for years. But if you find that he doesn't have any, and you need it, just PM me and I'll mail you some.....

at DDLR, if there was such a rule, it only applied to you. your dopey aliases are easier to pick out than WARF's.

Fuckinay!

The almighty Hitch did that shit too, but at least he always let everyone in on it......Clay did it for no other reason than to be a total asshole....to everyone!

I have to say....I'm really surprised to find this shitstorm in Gear Street. Isn't this where real musicians come to talk shop? WTF is going on here?

Are you suggesting merging the kid's thread with the general GARfag derail thread? I could see moving part of it, but dumping the whole of it? Doesn't seem fair...

Here's an idea: GARfail - STFU and let the musicians talk...

[hambon4lif]

I absolutely agree with you here.....dumping an entire thread is a terrible idea. The young man was genuinely asking for help, and there is some solid advice given by other people here. I don't see where flushing the entire thread would in any way be a solution.

Being a former DDLR mod, I happen to know that you can extract the nonsense posts from the ones that should be in this thread, and create a spam-chain that you can throw in the toilet. We saw Gar for the fibre-optic yeast infectioon that he is, and whenever we did it, no one thought twice about it.

discard all of the bullshit......

I hear ya, and we already set up a GAyR dump thread eons ago...may as well make use of it (again).

[GAR]

Gentlefolk of the board:

I understand I may be a bit technical at times. Sorry for that.

It is just that I felt Dumb&Dimmi's "use a screwdriver" bit failed to effectively address fine setup approach.

[Hardrock69]

Go fuck yourself loser. Nobody cares what YOU think, fuckface!

GO THE FUCK AWAY! NOBODY WANTS TO LISTEN TO YOUR FUCKING BULLSHIT!

YOU ARE JUST A FUCKING LOSER WITH THE MENTALITY OF A THIRD-GRADE NAMBLA PET!

[Hardrock69]

Garfuckle will not shut up. THAT is what is going on here, unfortunately.

It is impossible for anyone to post in the Gear Street forum, much less to ask for advice, without Garfuckle trolling the thread. Despite the fact nobody wants to hear from him ever again, he cannot stop himself from posting unwanted advice.

That is what happens when you are a retard with a superiority complex.

[jhale667]

I understand I may be a bit technical at times.

Get the fuck over yourself.
You couldn't be over anyone's head here if you were on a step-ladder (and you probably have to use one to reach the keyboard on the computer at the library anyway), Tinytubby Googlebitch.

I'll post a tease of my socket drawer to start, this was from a few years ago and it has MORE in it now......

I'm enviouse. Look at all of those and how organized it is. I bet Gar has a plastic tackle box with a broken handle full of dollar store quality sockets and drivers.

[Nitro Express]

The claw screws adjust the spring tension and balance the sping tension and the string tension. The pivot screw adjust the height of the bridge just like the thumb wheels on a Les Paul bridge do. Where it get's complicated is the angle of the string to the neck. I wouldn't mess with the frets or the nut if they were fine before. Lower the bridge and if necessary tweek the spring tension so your bridge plate is parallel to the guitar body. Sometimes you need to shim the neck with a pick or a matchbook cover. Hey, those feeler guage blades would even work. My 72 Strat has a little screw that you can adjust the neck angle with. raising the neck in the neck pocket just a tad can really make a difference because it raises the neck to the strings and lowers the action.

CORRECT! My benches are a disaster, sockets filthed in oil and grease due to use.

Now, I'm not saying Igloo doesn't use his stuff, but if it's about a toolstore pissing contest I haven't met anyone yet who could out-stream me in that regard.

I still believe the 3 bolt is superior to the 4 bolt, but it's a more complex setup geometry to understand.

I've seen many 3-bolts wrecked unnecessarily in a 4-bolt conversion bid to stabilize the pocket, and actually making things worse due to heavy paint buildup that was par for the course back in the CBS-era.

Care to retract that statement now, coward?

[GAR]

Wait! There's MORE.. act now, and Igloo will ALSO include, Drawer number 3?

(gee I thought wrench was spelled "s n a p o n" not "s h i n e y" wtf's up with that..)
