    Amplifying a nylon string guitar (for playing live)

    Thread title says it all really. I have a little nylon string parlour guitar that I'd like to use live. What are the best options for amplification? Sound quality is important but not at any price. Probably willing to spend £100-£150. http://www.artandlutherieguitars.com/aminyloncedar.html

    XLR panel

    I knocked this up today: I’ve been meaning to do it for ages, now I can plug into any of my mic pres without messing about or having to leave a load of mic cables hanging over the desk. Not the most exciting thing and tedious to make but it’s going to save me much hassle (and mess).

    Joe Meek

    What do you think the man himself would make of the products that currently bear his name? I'll be honest I don't really agree with making new products (as in new designs) with the name of a dead guy on them. He might have thought they sound like shit. I read an article about him in an old SOS...

    Shut up!!!

    Has anyone used one of those PC quietening kits? I'm looking at the packs of foam pads you stick to the inside of the tower, like this: http://www.maplin.co.uk/module.aspx?TabID=1&ModuleNo=34111&doy=14m12 Are they any good? Will this introduce problems with things getting too hot inside the...

I have Cubase set to open the last project on startup and the error message always shows a file location for the most recent project...

    'extension' nut for slide

    Are these things any good? Don't they mess up the intonation of the instrument? I have an old Barnes and Mullin 'country king' which I want to use as a dedicated guitar for slide. I suspect i'd be better off getting a new nut fitted to raise the action permanently (and have the luthier set the...
