Professional Guitar and Bass Setups

professional-guitar-setup-intonation
A professional guitar setup is a process which includes an inspection, adjustments, and basic guitar maintenance. The difference in a professional setup and a DIY setup is significant. A truly professional setup requires specialized tools and a good understanding of the mechanics of a stringed instrument.
It is very important to know what every part does, how they relate to one another, and specifications. This is especially true when your setup involves adjusting a truss rod, troubleshooting specific issues, and doing guitar repairs. It is good to know vintage Gibson guitar parts such as guitar neck, tuner buttons, screws and sound system.
An acoustic guitar setup has distinct differences versus an electric guitar setup. Firstly, you’re going to need luthier type skills to work with many types of wood, wood bridge, framing. If the acoustic has an amplification system that’s unlike working with pickups on an electric guitar. When working on an acoustic guitar it’s common to find yourself dealing with unexpected and challenging situations. Some of the other work you may encounter are mentioned in an article posted on AcousticGuitar.com which stated, “On a cautionary note, a lot of procedures involved in a setup—like nut filing, saddle shaving, and truss-rod adjustments—can cause expensive damage or require parts replacement if done improperly.”
Can you work on your guitar? It really comes down to your level of technical understanding, your mechanical aptitude, and your ability to pay for your inevitable mistakes. Anyone who is good at doing something will tell you they made a lot of mistakes while learning. Becoming proficient at guitar tech work takes a lot of time spent studying, and countless hours of hands-on practice.
You need to recognize that every screw, knob, and piece of hardware has a function. For some settings, even a very slight change has a significant impact. In fact, some of the settings on your guitar are measured in 1/1000th of an inch. You need to understand what’s in front of you before you attempt any work.

Skateboarding and Longboarding on and Around Campus

Even though alternative transportation is rampant on Whitman’s small campus, only a handful of Whitman students skateboard. Whether longboarding to class or skating for leisure, those who own boards on campus represent a small fraction of the student body. Whitman’s campus isn’t exactly ideal for the sport. For skateboarding you mainly just need an open, rarely frequented area with various obstacles and terrain. If there is a skatepark nearby, obviously that is a large draw, but for Whitman students, the nearest park is in College Place. On campus, skaters use the small area outside of Olin Hall or can be seen behind North Hall practicing tricks. As for longboarding, all one really needs is a hilly area that is hopefully nicely paved, ideally with not much traffic.  In Walla Walla, serious elevation change is something of a rarity, so most long boarders on campus mainly direct their hobby toward getting to class. However, there are students who do manage to find places off ca...

If you are pregnant, or trying to conceive, you know that taking folic acid is essential for the healthy development of your baby. But according to the World Health Organization, vitamin B12 is just as important in preventing neural tube and other neurological defects in infants and unfortunately as many as 1 in 20 adults is deficient in this essential vitamin.

"A deficiency is associated with increased risk for several adverse pregnancy outcomes for both mother and fetus.
