  1. Hi, Where is the best place to look (besides dragging my guitar to a luthier) for potentiometer markers? I noticed that my ES-335 comes with potentiometer makers - but my Les Paul doesn't have markers. The attached photo shows the potentiometers up close on each guitar. Thanks! P.S. - I probably should have posted this in the, "Gibson Repair and Restoration" forum. Before posting here I was looking for a more appropriate forum to post my question - but, for some reason I didn't see the Repair & Restoration forum. If I can figure out how to tow this message over to the forum I will - otherwise sorry for the missed placed post.
  2. Very recently I began playing in a jazz band - and find it really fun, motivating and very challenging. I hope to grow more in this direction. Anywho - here is a short clip of me soloing over Killer Joe - by Benny Golson. The guitar is a 1995 Les Paul P.S. - the camera angle is a bit odd because I placed my cell phone on my music stand.
  3. My MacBook works find for hundreds of sites - zero issues with my MacBook. In fact, at one time there was zero issues with me logging into this forum. I have to change my password EVERY time I login - and that's a serious hassle - so it might be a while before I come back.
  4. I've stopped frequenting the Gibson forum due to a weird issue that requires me to reset my forum password each and every time I log in. I'm using Safari on a 2015 MacBook Pro. Who can I contact about this issue?
  5. Does Gibson make flatwound bass guitar strings?  If so, where could I purchase these?

    Thanks.

      I don't know if Gibson makes flatwound bass guitar strings.  Maybe check with Sweetwater or the local guitar store?

  6. I still have to go through the process of resetting my password every time I login to this forum. I don't know who the moderators are.
  7. So, every time I desire to login I MUST reset my password. I don't know what is wrong - but before the forum changed this was never an issue. I'm using a MacBook Pro running macOS and using Safari as the browser. There is nothing obscure with my system - it's as mainstream as it can possibly be. As for the theory that my password is either too long or not using a correct set of characters (special characters): I've tried shortening my password to 16 chargers and limited use of special characters. I know that some passwords call for using a very limited subset of special characters (probably to mitigate SQL injection - i.e. for security reasons). Yeah, so am I the only person afflicted with this issue?
  8. The New forum looks amazing. Got a question: it seems that I have to reset my password every time I log in. I'm guessing this might have something to do with my passwords being over 20 characters long. So, my question is this: what is the maximum password length of this forum?
  9. There you go, man! Back into positive territory! Peace!

  10. What did I do wrong? During the past 4 years I've spent roughly $10,000 on Gibson guitars. I think I posted pictures of every Gibson I bought - I was making sure what I was buying an authentic Gibson. (they were all used guitars). So, yeah, anyway, about the -2 reputation: Did I offend people or something? I can't imagine what that would have been. =/
  11. Saw that video a few years ago - probably why I thought only plastic inlays were used.
  12. Seems too easy. I was hoping for something more along the lines of a risky science experiment - with the possibility of lowering the value of the guitar.
  13. To the contrary, it is curiosity that motivates.
