Well... I suppose they do cut through, if you're playing Simon&Garfunkel covers or something. PROVEN FACT: You cannot have two guitars and one of them playing in stereo. Sounds like shit, phase cancellation, out of phase, delay problems, general mud sound... I have practiced with modeling...

Get a Les Paul Studio Lite. Half the weight and all the tone. Can be found used for $600-$800. Check eBay. Epiphones are shit...atleast the electronics, anyway. Amp thingy: Modeling amps are nice and would suit for recording, but if you plan to play with a band the don't cut through, have...

Okie... I have been considering buying a Wolfgang by Peavy. They look real nice and all but in the music store I never get a chance to just crank an amp and wail on one. Is there any Wolfgang owners out there? Is there and negative opinions? I normally would not bother but this buy...

BTW: There is such a product as the 'combinator' which has multiple loops which can be combined and remembered like a multi-effects unit. 9 loops in total. Again this was a product I started work on with Radio Shack components about 2.5 years ago. (SIGH)..... I think that whenever you have a...

SCREW FENDER (CBS) BUY A G&L!!!!!!!!!! G&L guitars are GOD! And they are reasonably priced for the wares. I would say that they are closer to a vintage strat than any american standard made since about 70'. And they play better. Viking_______________________________________

Blue Steel strings are the shit. I have played them since they came out and never have changed, but I am interested in the Elixirs though. I bought my first set and will let you all know how it goes. Viking_______________________________________

Great to know there's alt of guitar players out there! I use Dean Markley 'Blue Steel' strings which kick ass. (If you are out there Dean Markley I would appreciate a sponsor ship as I have converted about everyone I know to Blue Steel strings!!!). These strings stay in tune like a mother...

Whoah!!! Not to say anything Even, but take it from a guy who plays in D, Db, and B all the time... I f you get lighter gauge strings you will have shit for intonation and the feel will be terrible. The lighter gauge strings reach pitch ( like D ) at a lower string tension. Meaning when you...

Slack ! So hows those fingers doin? Was it the string change that got you? *GRIN* Anyway, I got the cream your pants solution to lead tone, enough to roll up in a big fat ball of 'Good God!' drippin' with some 'Have Mercy!'..... So send $19.95 check or money order to: Viking...

What the hell? They must be internally grounding the two sides of the coils (black and white wires that I spoke about earlier) and are using the the white wires coming out of the factory pickup as the center of the two coils. Then they are probably switching the white wire (in the original...

Leave it to the Doc...*GRIN* Anyway, I tune to all sorts of tunings. Some of mine aren't even tunings, I just twist the pegs til it sounds good. It's good ear training...., but have your allen wrench on hand!! What is happening when you detune is the neck moves, changing your intonation...

(* In Tears *): I spent all that time drawing out a humbucker and the damn thing won't come out right! *SIGH* How's about a clinic on how to draw stuff on this board.

Lo' there, I have a yamaha 421dm and did the same thing so here's the fix.... What you got when you bought the duncan was a humbucker with 'coil tapping' capabilites. This means you can use one or the other coils as a 'single coil' or use both in a humbucking configuration. The yamaha...

Mr. Recording Engineer, Thanks for the input I am going to buy the mic then. I didn't know it was a bass drum mic, but I need one of those anyway! Thanks again, Viking_______________________________________
