MR GIBS Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 Phelonious Ponk thanx for your input:-) i´m currently doing my research about about how to get the best sound live, from the guitar! there are a few interesting options out there... but considering that i´d personally, rather not have to mess with the inside of the guitar, it narrows things down! these are some of the alternatives i´m currently checking out: * fishman aura spectrum di * lr baggs m-80 * zoom a3 any more awesome alternatives i´m missing here and if you own or have tried any of those, what is your opinion? I purchased the new ZOOM A3 for a friend I play with in my grup. There are iteresting effecst inside. But not for me, I prefere the Aura DI by Fishman. There are in the AURA DI only bodies (of different type of guitars) simulations and microphones simulations. Enough for me. I don't think there is mic. simulators in the ZOOM. Man, you just got to try all the systems in a shop and decide what is your sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brynte5 Posted November 26, 2014 Author Share Posted November 26, 2014 hey guys. sorry to bring this old thread back to life, but i have some new questions regarding this guitar and some other things previously discussed in this thread, so i figured it would be conveniant to continue here. first off, i just want to say that i´m really happy with it:-) sounds and plays great:-) back to the questions;-) 1 - i do hear some small kind of a "buzzing" sound sometimes, when playing certain tones that create extra much vibrations in the guitar. this is not happening every time i play, but sometimes i notice it and i´d prefer it gone, of course. after trying to locate the cause of this noise, i´ve tried to look inside of the guitar, to see if something looks suspicious, but the only thing i´ve found that i suspect could possibly be the cause, is the mic wire, that´s hanging loose inside of the body. i have no idea if that´s what´s causing it, but regardless, i think it´s totally weird that gibson doesn´t "secure" that wire, so it´s not just hanging loose, as it does now. i´ve considered using tape, to secure that wire to the top of the body, but i´m not sure if that´s a good idea or not? what do you guys have to say about this? 2 - i´ve recently bought a couple of pedals that i plan on using with this guitar. * fishman aura spectrum * zoom a3 after a lot of "googling" and "youtubing", it was clear to me that these 2 pedals should be a great combo, since the a3 has all of those nice effects that the aura doesn´t have. about the aura, i still haven´t been able to try it out properly, but the other day, i tried out some of the images. to find the perfect matching image, i loaded up all the info i have about my gibson acoustic in the aura software and the matching result was the gibson songwriter cutaway, which doesn´t seem that close, being a cutaway and all. so i´m wondering about what images would be the perfect match for my guitar? i´m not even sure about this, but it is a dreadnaught, right? what is the closest gibson model compared to my guitar? j45? j160? what do you guys have to say about this?

blindboygrunt Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 for the buzz , check the endpin jack. If it's that you'll be the fourth one ,if I include myself , that I know of on here pedals , I've no idea about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brynte5 Posted November 26, 2014 Author Share Posted November 26, 2014 ok, how do i check that? by "endpin jack" i guess you mean the input for the guitar cable? one thing i´ve noted about that input, is that every time i´ve been playing standing up, with a shoulder strap on, the input knob is always loose, so every single time, i have to screw it tight again using my fingers... the fourth one for this specific model or gibson acoustics in general?

blindboygrunt Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 The 4th one , I think , just in general . you know from hanging around in this forum. I had a buzz on my j45 and it ended up being that endpin / jack plug assembly. its no big deal , just needs tightened as much as is possible , without being so heavy handed that you ruin it of course. no need for vice grips or anything. Just finger tight. I could be wrong ya know and the buzz may be something else . But I always share that one because it was hard for me to pin point.

blindboygrunt Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Maybe a little blob of nut glue that mechanics use on threads may secure it better. I have fuzzy memory that a little dab of the wife's (or yours) nail varnish will do much the same thing and help keep a nut from vibrating loose ... wait for someone else to qualify that one though. don't wanna be sued for your finish peeling off because I recommended nail varnish.

sjl200 Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 I have the AURA and I have found that the J45 image (for me) works best with most Gibsons that does not have a specific Gibson model assigned Aura image. Plus 2 on the end nut every time I detected a "buzz" the first thing I check is the end pin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
