    Can someone identify this old guitar?

    Sorry I don't have any pictures. I was at a small party with some coworkers tonight and I was roaming around the back of my supervisors basement and found this old, extremely beat up guitar. It was a hollow body guitar (instead of 2 F shape holes, they were like this: <> except vertical), and...

    Farfisa serial numbers?

    I know there isn't a lot of old organs being discussed on this board, but I was wondering if anyone knew how the Farfisa serial # system works? Or could at least direct me to someone who could date my organ? My organ is a big wooden cabinet one, with bass pedals built in. It has 2 tiers...

    Delta 1010lt troubles

    Okay this is driving me insane. I've avoided using the first two channels for recording since I've gotten it, but I can't do it forever. I'm running my mics through my mixer and then out an 8 channel snake into the soundcard. Works great. Now my problem is these damn XLR inputs on the first...

    Overheating computer?

    In the past my computer died twice because it overheated. I can't really remember why, but there was something the store I bought it from screwed up on and had to fix. But since there was a vent directly behind it on the wall, we moved next to the desk on the floor. Recently I moved my desk...

    What to do with broken amp?

    About two years ago my brother got one of those bass starter pack things that came with a Fender Frontman 15b (it's 38 watts though, not 10...like I keep reading on the internet). The input jack got very loose after a while, though cables were barely put in and out of it, they usually stayed...

    Mixer repair

    Board: Audiopro 16-S made in June 1983. 16 channels. Made as a live sound board. I am currently installing new faders for this board because the current ones are old and the lube has stripped off. Fortunately Yorkville, who made this board, had some left in stock, which I ordered. The next...

    Compression...

    I haven't really grasped everything to know about compression so I'll ask a question... Say I have a pretty generic rock beat, nothing fancy. So, what you set all this up to... Output Gain: Attack Time: Release Time: Input Gain: Attack Time: Release Time: Lookahead Time:

    Where to host?

    Sorry if this has already been asked before... I'm looking to upload my website to a free host -- no ads, FTP would be nice...and so on. I haven't had a site online in years and it's impossible to find anything good out there. Can anyone here recommend me some websites?

    Cleaning knob pots?

    A few weeks ago I had my girlfriend's dad come over to help me clean out my old Audiopro 16-S board. It was incredibly dirty inside and still needs some more work, but it's better than it was. We discovered you can actually unplug and unscrew the fader pots to replace them, so I'm in the process...

    What to do??

    Okay, whenever I have a multitrack session in Cool Edit and I send it to my default soundcard it's fine. But when I send the outs to my mixer (through my Delta 1010lt) the play controls freeze. Not the actual program or computer, just the play controls and I can't stop it or pause it, it only...

    Need advice on acoustic clip

    I'm working on a song that starts off with an acoustic. I need some advice on getting a better sound out of the track. I think it sounds pretty good but I also think there are probably some frequencies I can roll off, but I'm kind of lost. Anyways, the guitar is being mic'ed by an ECM8000...

    Problem putting XLR cable into mic

    This is really frustrating and I can't think of any reason why this is happening. I have two condensors and I've had one hooked up to a cable fine for about a month. Today I finally got around to picking up another boom stand and an XLR cable (not to hook the mic up with though, something to do...

    New speakers for Farfisa?

    Wasn't sure where to post this, but... I have an old 70s Farfisa organ (cabinet kind with a built in amp) and it has 2 10" speakers which are probably original. The speakers tend to crackle if you move the volume pedal sometimes and so on, and was just wondering if installing some new speakers...

    Mini XLR cables

    I need a run from a phantom power supply to my board, but the shortest cable I can find is like 20 feet. I just need as small a cable I can get because it's just between the supply and my board, anyone have any ideas?

    Ideas on building desk?

    I have my board sitting on this crappy old table (foldable legs and all...) and I want to make a desk for it someday. I've never really built much anything, but I know people who will give me a hand. Attached is an old picture of my board, to give you an idea. It's 38" by 24" in size. It's...

    Phantom Power unit

    I just picked up my first 2 condensors today and since my board doesn't have built in phantom power, I fortunately noticed a dual phantom power supply unit hanging on the wall which I picked up. It's a "Peavey PS 2C". Now, this is a shot in the dark, but does anyone have any idea how the !@#$ to...

    Looking to step up a notch for bass

    My younger brother has been playing a Squier bass for about 2 years now. He's ready to move on to something better, but not crazy expensive of course, just something that'll last him a good while and will hold up. At a local store we found some Yamaha's which were pretty nice to play. One was a...

    Calling all handymen! Help!

    http://www.combo-organ.com/VoxPowerCable.JPG, what exactly is a 'reaming' tool? When it comes to tools I'm totally clueless, and I need to try this to fit a connection. I found a picture of the "leatherman punch", but it just looks like plyers with all the knives and gadgets at the handles. Any...

    Dirext Box confusion

    I need to pick up a direct box for recording bass. All the ones I see though are 1/4" line in to XLR out. What's the point of running XLR out when I need to run it into a line in? The only XLR I would have to plug it into would be a mic input, but I'm obviously not going to use a mic input. I...

    Farfisa Professional (Compact?) Duo

    I don't know if this is considered a combo organ or not, but would it work well with basically any 60s rock organ work?
