Hi. I recently purchased an MXL V63M Stereo LDC mic as a MF stupid deal of the day for 50 bucks and was wondering if anyone around here had any experience with it they'd like to share. I bought it thinking it may be useful for drum overheads and/or acoustic guitars, but since it seems to have...

Hi. Here is a manifesto of my latest (and most likely last) attempt at a purchase from Musician's Friend. I have posted this in a couple of places online, so don't be surprised if it pops up somewhere else. I'm just hoping that someone else can avoid some of the difficulties I have run into to...

Finally, after 2 other failed attempts at purchasing my "dream guitar" from Musicians Fiend, I have finally got the guitar that I have been hoping to own for the 25+ years I've been playing!!! You can read about guitar #1 here: http://www.lespaulforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=149348 You can...

This is the latest addition to the harem! It was a custom job (bare mahogany body with creme binding), and they liked it so much themselves that they actually have posted it up on their site!! This guitar plays like a dream! Clear articulation of strings and chords "sing" like none of my other...

Hi. The subject heading says it all. I have one of the "original" T3's (with an NOS tube) and was wondering just exactly what I'm missing out on by *not* upgrading to the newer T3v2 ...and (for Mr. Gerst) the T3v2 w/Cinemag transformer? Thanks! -mr moon

OK. I will make this quick and to the point. Long story short, I will never ever ever buy another guitar/bass without being able to play it first!! ...I know, you're all saying "DUH!!", but up until now I have purchased a couple of low-buck guitars without incident. However, with what I have...

Hi folks, I just want to make you aware of an issue with the ADL600 which was described in a review (by Paul J. Stamler) published in the October issue of Recording magazine. Here's a quote from the article detailing the problem: "The other anomaly I measured was the input impedances. These...

Hi folks. I just wanted to share the news that some of our SONAR-produced music will be included in a documentary which is scheduled to be released on Labor Day!! Here's a link to a trailer for the documentary: "The Big Fix" Documentary Trailer Our music is also included in the trailer; it's...

Interesting. Found this info at another forum, in a post by mwagener: http://hraunfoss.fcc.gov/edocs_public/attachmatch/DOC-263862A1.pdf :D :D :D -mr moon Here's the post's text, in case the link doesn't work for you: NEWS Federal Communications Commission 445 12th Street, S.W...

Oh Joy!!!! I finally got my C-7 Hellraiser the other night!! :cool: After waiting for almost 2 fargin' MONTHS because they have been backordered from the factory, it finally arrived at the local shop the day before yesterday!! Best part is, not only did I get some $ deducted from the price...

Hi. Does anyone know of a guitar pickup manufacturer's website which not only provides samples of what their product sounds like, but what the stock pickup in the same guitar sounds like? For example, I have a Gibson Les Paul Studio which has the original pickups. I'm thinking about upgrading...

Hi. I was wondering if anyone here has attempted to substitute the 12AX7 tube that comes standard in the VTB-1 with any other type (i.e. a "12AY7" tube perhaps) and had any success? I'm using the VTB-1 to power a ribbon mic for recording acoustic guitars and noticed that the 12AX7 tube seemed a...

Hi. Does anyone have any experience with the Ashly rack-mountable MX-Series mixers, like the MX-206 or the MX-406? Specifically, I was wondering about the quality of the preamps; what other preamps they would compare to sound-wise, and such. Ashly MX-Series Mixers (link) I was hoping to...

Anyone have some links to some online vendors that I can order some gaffer tape from? All I can find locally is duct tape (even one brand called "duck" tape!), but I have not been able to find gaffer tape locally at all. BTW: Gaffer tape is almost exactly the same as duct tape, but its adhesive...
