I am curious, what is the best string gauge for solos?

Also, how do you adjust your neck or bridge to accommodate for the string gauge.. meaning how do you know which adjustments are going to be best?

I use Earnie ball regulars. The high E starts at .10. I wouldn’t go with anything lighter that .09 because you’ll get weaker sound and it tends to not stay in tune as well. Most great soloists play .09 to even .11. Work slowly when changing the action at the bridge to get it just right before it starts to buzz and check the neck for straightness, as well as intonation by moving the individual saddle pieces forward or back to get the 12th fret in tune with the open.

Go to wikipedia or Google for further explanations on intonation, guitar action, and truss rod on neck.

P.S.
Remember, don’t buy anything less than .09 if you want to keep a great sound.

Many comparisons can be made to the capitalist overlords that threatened the livlihoods of the Na’vi race because they wanted access to their mineral deposits and the American attitutde ‘you do things our way, or we destroy you and take it’. My question is, when Americans watched the film, which side were they on? The invading force or the Na’vi?

tyes it true

All the stores have crappy return policies now. I live near Walmart, Costco, Sam’s Club, Staples, ect. What is the best store to buy a desktop from? What’s the best brand?

Amazon has some absolute bargain laptops and PC’s, have a look http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.co.uk%2FPCs-Laptops-Computer-Desktop%2Fb%3Fie%3DUTF8%26node%3D405287011%26ref_%3Dsa%255Fmenu%255Fpc3&tag=google042e-21&linkCode=ur2&camp=1634&creative=19450

I currently bought a home and I need home insurance. What is the best way to compare home insurance quotes? I want a good policy but I have a small budget, Is there a way to compare home insurance quotes online?

To compare home insurance quotes you have 2 options. Spend your day calling agents in the phone book and getting quote after quote. Or my favorite fill out one form and make the agents compete for your business.

A company called insure me allows you the ability to complete one quote form, then that form is sent to all agent within your zip code. The agent in return will send you their quotes based on your information.

This method allows you to compare home insurance quotes by filling out one 5 minute form. Its real easy and fast, I have included a link below so you can get the process started or read more about the process.

Good Luck,

Is there any validity to my perception, that Toyota Motor Company has surreptitiously subsidized Consumer Reports Magazine?

Consumers Reports is not subsidized by any auto manufacturer, but they have for years had a bias against American made vehicles. They claim to be independent, but their corporate culture has a definite tilt towards certain car makers.

If you were to go to the local Ford owners club and ask them to rate Ford, Chevy, Honda and Toyota, you would expect that they would rate Ford highest. This is what happens when Consumers Reports hires only people who think the same way, and bring their own biases to the ratings

I was wondering if any one knew what the trailer hitch rating is for a 1995 grand jeep cherokee. I ask this because I am looking into using one of those hitch mount motorcycle carriers. I tried looking it up but couldn’t find it. Thanks.

The factory 2" box hitch? around 3500 pull and 150 tongue

I really want to start making walkthroughs, or reviews of games and really want to professionally record them. I know for older games i can use roms and record it like that but what about like gamecube, wii, ps2, etc. I have heard of capture cards and i think that is the best way. Can someone tell me what is the best and easiest and least expensive way and also give me directions on how to set it up, and what to by and what is the best brand to by.

If you already have a video camera that you use to upload films, all you really need to do is record the film onto the video camera.

I’m looking into getting a tattoo on my inner right bicep. It will be either 3 or 9 words. I currently have a tattoo right between my shoulder blades and was wondering how you would compare the pain from experience.

Also, are they hard to heal? I’ve heard they take a while.

I don’t have any tattoos but my fiance has 8 in various areas on her body. She has one on her back also and one on her inner arm. From what she says after each tattoo, it all depends on YOUR pain tolerance and body. Some placements where there is a thin amount of skin can hurt a bit more. Also tattoos she’s said that are on or going over bones (ie. ribs, spine..etc.) can sometimes hurt more. But I gather from her that it just depends on the person.

I just want to look at these three cars on consumer reports, and I don’t want to buy a subscription to look at three pages. would anyone be willing to look these up for me and copy/paste the review into the answer? I don’t know if points actually motivate anyone, but, I’ll give best answer to the person with the best answer, haha.

As a TDI owner I’ll say this, these are very finicky cars. If they’re cared for properly, they’re absolutely bulletproof. There are a couple on the verge of a million miles, with a ton over 400,000 miles. Stay far far far away from the automatics from 99.5-03 though. The 01M is not a good trans for any engine, but is especially week when mated to the torquey diesel.

But if someone forgets a timing belt change, or does some improper maintenance, forget it, they’ll have problems until the day you sell it.

I really would suggest finding someone in your area who knows TDIs and having them look the car over before purchasing one. You can find more info than you’d ever want to know on the car at http://www.tdiclub.com including a list of the trusted "gurus" across the US and Canada, thats the list you wanna pick your expert to look the car over from.

I want to shop for consumer electronics in India where I can buy real cheap. Would someone suggest me some good websites?
