    SG Strap Button Relocation?

    If you're referring to the bridge.....the adjustment screws should face the headstock / pickups. Mick

    Anyone feel like reaching for the stars and becoming a moderator?

    I certainly appreciate the honesty in this post. I left this forum a while back because I was sure there was either no moderation or moderators who were in favor of the personal vitriol in many posts...despite certain "rules". Now...to be honest...I realize that the problem was a lack of...

    Headphones vs Monitors for Mastering WTF? Oh Hell no!.......never say never ;)

    I was born into a world where music was mostly played on single speaker AM radios...then slightly better single speaker FM radios....then a stereo record player that was like luggage that had a drop down turntable and swing out speakers with just terrible frequency response. I wore out my...

    Pedal with multiple od or distortion modes

    Well......the ME-80 is fully analog controlled. It does have a digital readout to indicate the volume setting for each pedal (trust me that's handy) and for the integrated guitar tuner. Think of it as many, many Boss effects pedals put into one device with all the same analog components the...

    Pedal with multiple od or distortion modes

    Take a look at the Boss ME-80. Multiple Pedals.....each of which can be adjusted. You can chain "pedals" and they can have the effect you want one each other. Mick

    What do you think of same-colored headstocks?

    Thanks PorterhouseMusic ! Yes...the body is ash and the neck is maple. Close match. Both have decent grain. Clear satin finish on both. Mick

    What do you think of same-colored headstocks?

    Nice. Left handed neck with right handed Fender Decal and left handed trem...and right handed body. Cool!

    What do you think of same-colored headstocks?

    As Spantini said......."natural" works for me....but not the painted headstocks...except for a few black bodied guitars with black headstocks. Here's a Strat style guitar I put together a while back. Ash wood body....maple head stock. Not a perfect match but close enough. Mick

    Alright what do ns10s sound like?

    I've heard a few different pairs of NS10's over the years. For what it's worth.....the only monitors I ever thought came close was a pair of Tannoy 501a Reveal speakers. Light on bass and strong clarity and accuracy in the mids and highs. I still have the Tannoy's although they're not my go...

    Tell me some bands/artists whose lyrics you really dig

    Randy Newman. Some pretty cool lyrics. Mick

    First mix bad!!

    First off......I love the song! And thanks for giving us a listen! You have the instrument tracks sounding good IMO. To be honest.....I don't think your voice being gravelly is the problem with understanding the lyrics. If we just listed to the vocal track solo my guess is that we'd...

    Zoom Q2n 4K Video/Audio Recorder

    And even fewer still listen to audio on a quality playback system these days. Mick

    Those were the days

    Yeah....I had the same van.....Ford....blue....but with the "extension" on the back end. Used it for transporting band equipment. Man that thing was HOT in the summer sitting right next to the engine "cover". I remember it sort of felt like a bus to drive as the steering wheel was more...

    My studio build

    Yeah....mine looks pretty similar to that. How about when you suddenly get a buzz that wasn't there before? You know.....one of those buzzes that just goes away when you twist the right plug or cable. A plug or cable that hasn't moved in months or years but is now maybe not connecting cleanly...
