I got some offers to join blues bands with guys in their 40s and 50s after playing some licks in a guitar store. How can I prepare to audition for one of these bands, and are there some blues standards I should know? Pretty much all of my blues is of more of the classic rock style, which I understand is normally a lot more speedy than regular gritty blues, but it is definitely my style. I know blues is more about slow expression and really squeezing notes, but does the SRV approach work too?

Brand new Ibanez w/DiMarzio IBZ's sounds terrible! HELP!!
Hello all.
For 15 years I've played '90 Jackson Fusion Pro w/factory pick ups and it sounds great. I'm not a collector and I don't have the budget to buy new equipment very often so I'm not very schooled in various hardware. I just purchased a brand new Ibanez RG2570EVSL with DiMarzio IBZ's and it sounds like a throaty fart cannon w/ no low end chunk or high end brightness. I play hard rock and melodic metal using arpeggio sweeps and low to high trick picking. My Jackson has great dynamics w/ chunky low ends and bright high ends. I'm at the edge of sending this guitar back but it plays great; I like the scale of the neck better than my Jackson and I've been told new pick ups would do the trick. I haven't got a clue what to buy or even where to start. Just reading thru the posts on this forum has enlightened me greatly. Any suggestions to help me on this would be so awesome and greatly appreciated.

Dunlop Crybaby
I remember someone posting a link for adjusting the Crybabies to give them more sweet spot. Does anyone still have that link, I'd like to give it a try.
