The Furious Little Cinnamon Bun

(no subject)

Hoping someone might have some insight into this, as I'm a bit confused by it.

I have a Classic Player Jaguar HH. Alder body, bridge pickup replaced with a Bare Knuckle Nailbomb, strung with the heaviest strings known to man (.72 to .15 - I tune to drop-B and it's a short-scale, so the tension's okay). Pots are (stock) 1meg.

What confuses me is that with the HPF circuit off it sounds really woolly/woofy/muddy with heavy distortion. Very little high-end definition. Where the hell could it be coming from? I did wonder about the strings, but I used to have it in standard tuning with pretty standard strings and it still sounded like that then.

Great lazy guitarist

So I've been struggling to find time to play my guitar, I have a 10 month old son and a heavy work schedule running my own business, and no place to leave my gear setup without risk of a certain someone puking on it, or the mrs. tripping on it.

It's been over a year since I actually sat down and played, but I just found my solution, and so far it's getting me paying so sweeet! my fingers are calloused again and my SG is all tuned up, all because I bought "Rocksmith" for my ps3. I was surprised to have a game that actually uses guitar for your controller, and does it good. Of course I've never been a pro, I'm alright, I can sit down with a guitar and have fun, but pulling out my amp, cables, pedals and guitar for a 30-60 minute jam only to have to pack it up after, or have it cut short because a baby needs me, isn't ideal. Unplugging my guitar and putting it in it's case isn't a big deal though.

I've played rockband, and guitar hero, sure great fun, but you're playing pretend, rocksmith you're holding a guitar, hitting notes, chords, bar chords, hammering on etc... actually doing something real.

So far I've been actually playing my guitar, and it's great, so if you have no time and wanna do something with a guitar, I'd recommend it. of course if you're a guitar god well rocksmith does have a wide range of cool amps, pedal and guitars to unlock, but if you're a guitar god you probably own all that anyway.

String For Strat

Hello, people!

Couldn't find any information on fender's website, so I've decided to ask you:
can I use .011 strings on my fender strat classic player 60s without the risk of breaking the neck? I also would like to try Heavy Bottom strings (010 - 052).
Couldn't find any information on fender's website.
What do you think?
