Electric Strings Ultra Electric guitar string guages...?
For the metal-head guitar players out there: What is a good string guage to play on when tuned down to C-F-Bb-D-G-C?
for natural tuning I normally play on ultra-lights, and I am looking to come close to that feel without too much trial & error.
Are 10's a good place to begin, or should I go to 11's or 12's?
Remember that 4 whole steps changes the tension ALOT.
I would start with .11s and go from there. Tuning that far down is going to change your intonation and everything. You're probably going to need a rod adjustment and everything. You know they make such a thing as a baratone guitar...

Why does my bottom e string rattle, when I press down on the first few frets?
I just got a used acoustic-electric Ovation Ultra, and I wanted to put new strings on it. Before I took off the strings that were already on it, it sounded beautifully. I just put on the bottom e string and now when I place my finger on the first couple frets it rattles like there isn't enough room between the string and the fret board. Please advise me what to do to fix this annoying problem!
I think I better just take it in to the shop. and no I don't need to push down harder (I've been playing for over 14 years, i know how to press down strings.) thanks though. I have a Takamine acoustic-electric EAN10C and never had this problem. I am jus not very familiar with these Ovation guitars, and I don't think I like them very much...based off of this one.
Hi there,
From what you are saying it seems that the bridge is not correctly adjusted. This could happen if you bought a slightly different gauge string than what was previously on there. The best thing to do would be to take your guitar to the music shop and see if they will set it up for you.
Ball Med I'm building a snake rack and don't know whether to use 3" flextape or Zoo Med's heat cable. Any suggestions?
The snake rack will house ball pythons. I'll, in fact, have snake racks that house various tub sizes. Also, is fextape safe when in direct contact with wood? Thank you.
Save yourself a lot of trouble and get the flex watt heat tape. Just make sure you hook it up to a rheostat to keep the temps under control.
The heat cable burns out. I was using heat cable on hatchlings and they all stopped feeding. Found out the cable had stopped working. I did some research and have found many people have had the same problem.

Why You Should Use Medicine Balls In Your Cardio Workouts - Part 3
Ok, we've looked at all the awesome things med balls can do, and how you can use incorporate them into your cardio workouts. But one of the most important aspects of med ball training is a fairly intangible one - the mental aspect of training. You can't just "dead-head" your cardio training. You have to have your head into what you're doing, and have to be paying attention. Just "going through the motions" won't get you anywhere. You can study, work, have a relationship, or pretty much anything else important by just showing up - you have to put in effort, and have to be mentally acute to what you're doing. Exercise is no different. Because many med ball exercises can be somewhat awkward, it almost "forces" you to pay attention to what you're doing. First of all, most med ball exercises are fairly demanding. Try as you might, you can't do much of anything that takes any real effort unless you're paying attention. You have to work hard at med ball exercises, and this forces you watch what you're doing. Second of all, simply grabbing a med ball can be tough. Med balls don't have handles (well, some do, but you shouln't be using one of these anyway), so you have to keep a stable grip on the ball itself. This can be tougher than you think. When your hands get sweaty (which they're going to), the ball can become slick - even if you have one that has a decent surface to grip (which most do). And if your med ball has any real weight to it (at least 8-10 pounds or more), if you're doing any kind of dynamic exercise (e.g. - Woodchoppers), the ball is going to want to fly out of your hands, and you're going to have to keep it from doing so. You also have to really pay attention to what you're doing any sort of med ball exercise where you actually let go of the med ball, as you can end up with a real situation your hands if you're not careful. (Now, this will vary depending on if you have a med ball that bounces or not.) For example, say you're just doing a simple med ball slam. Simple enough exercise, right? Sure - until you don't watch what you're doing, and slam that ball into your foot. Ouch. Or until you let go too early and that ball goes flying somewhere it shouldn't. Hopefully you won't have broken anything. Best case scenario is that you just spend a bunch of time running around chasing the darn thing. Hopefully this series of articles has given you some ideas on how to implement med balls into your own cardio workouts.
