Good day, I am a guitarist, just beginning to enter the world of home recording. I need advice on what type of drums I should get. I'm split between an acoustic kit, and an electric kit. On one hand, I could get a decent acoustic kit at reasonable cost, but I would need to make a drastic...

I need to raise the action a bit on a strat type guitar that I have. I know that some of this stuff is pretty easy, but I've never messed with the neck of one of my guitars before, and I don't want to make it any worse that it is already. The access to the truss rod is at the base of the neck...

I read in an article a couple of years ago, about what tuning David Gilmour uses on his slide guitar. His slide guitar looks like a pedal steel, without the pedals. It has something like 9 or 10 strings. If I remember correctly, he splits the tuning up, half major/half minor, so that he can...

I would like to ask some of you Marshall players, which head you would recommend for me to purchase? I want one that will cover the Marshall spectrum. I want to be able to approximate everything from Hendrix to AC/DC to Neil Schon to Zakk Wylde tone. Also, which cabinet/speakers would you...

www.dthraco.com/competition.htm Check out this site for a good comparison of a few of the DI amp modeling work stations. Of course you can't make a decision based solely on this, but it still can give you a good comparison of the amp models. I think the BOSS sounds kinda muddy. The rest of...

First off, I'm a U.S Serviceman stationed in Germany. In November of 2000, I ordered a J-station through MF. Two months later, it up and died on me. I mean no sound no lights nothing! I got in touch with the people at Johnson Aplification, and the told me to ship it back to them and they...

I just got a pair of AKG 270 headphones, that came with the Tascam 788 recording package that I purchased through MF. I am getting a terrible fuzzy/buzz sound when the volume get's even mildly loud. Is this something common with these phones? I was always under the assumption that AKG 270's...

I just bought a 788, it should be here in about a week. Are there any 788 users out on this forum? I will need to ask some questions from time to time. P

I have a small bass amp, a Peavey Micro bass or something like that. It's cheap and small, but IMHO sounds decent for what it was made for(practice mostly). Has anyone had any experience micing a small amp like this? How does it sound recorded? Would you mic it the same way you would a...

In the next couple of months, I plan to purchase a digital recorder. I THINK I've nailed it down to either the Korg d12, the Tascam 788 or the Fostex VF16. Any advise on which one I should choose(and why) would be greatly appreciated. I'm not very computer literate, so I don't think computer...

Good day, Has anyone heard of a Neal Schon signature PRS guitar in the works? There was a post in the Journey web page forum about it, but nothing definate. I think that this would truly be an incredible guitar. Thanks
