    B-E-A-D on a 4-string bass?

    I'm thinking about getting a bass. I mostly produce electronic/"intelligent dance" music and I want a deep, slightly growling, leviathan type of sound. I also want that low B note and I will literally never play anything in upper registers. Plus, I don't find 5-strings particularly...

    Router for Mac/PC workspace?

    I have the seemingly ubiquitous Linksys Wireless-G WRT54G router. The PC's are fine, but I'm having all kinds of problems getting a Mac notebook to connect to the internet. I can get it to connect to the wireless network, but it always says it cannot find an IP address when trying to get...

    Internet Explorer Help

    My wife did something to the home computer and now we can only open one instance of IE at a time. If we try to launch another IE window, it closes the old one. Same thing when right clicking "Open Link in New Window". I can launch multiple instances of other applications, including Office...

    Price of a Dream Monitor?

    Let's say, hypothetically, that you came across a nearfield monitor that fulfilled all of your nearfield monitor fantasies. It was sharp, sexy, and promised to service you like no other nearfield had before. What would be the maximum price per pair at which this monitor would exit your dream...

    The emperor's guitar has no clothes!

    Ok, now that the charade has gone on for about 25 years or so, isn't it time that we finally admit that amplified acoustic guitars sound like complete ass? I mean, who in their right mind actually likes the sound of a bridge pickup? Decades of "perfection" and they still make a guitar sound...

    Professional Bass Forum?

    Much respect to this forum, but does anyone know of a good forum for pro bass players? Some of you may recall a while back when I was knocking around the idea of developing a high-end bass amp. The consensus here seem to be that most people couldn't provide much feedback on the merits of my...

    To GigaStudio or not to GigaStudio?

    Ok, I'm contemplating the next big step. Save for my MS2000R, I work almost 100% inside the computer. I think I'm developing some strong skills in this medium and I don't see any reason to change at this point. Not to mention, it's a far more portable and cheaper than owning tons of...

    Is midi my guitar playing salvation?

    I am a mediocre guitar player. My rhythm playing is pretty good, though I could never come up with anything original, and my soloing always sucked - totally uninspired. But I could manage to pull off note for note solos I learned from tablature. I've always had ideas and I would try to come...

    Has anyone ever built a studio out of an arched steel building?

    Like one of these? http://www.panelsteelbuildings.com/s-series.html Seems like it would be strong, easy to build, and the shape could have some acoustical advantages. barefoot
