Want to power some number of Presonis MicPre's. We have several of them, but are short of the wall-warts. Mouser has 18VAC wall warts, but the MicPre's power requirements are 1000mA; Mouser's most powerful is only 500mA. We would prefer to have ONE power supply to drive them all (about six to...

I need a bigger sheet of velcro for my pedalboard, and am often buying cable ties from Home Depot because they come in a multi-color pack (I color-code cables.) Came across this supplier's website http://www.textol.com/textol.asp Of course, there are other suppliers- this is simply the first...

Local guy has a pair of AT2020's, apparently standing firm at $65 each (although he said he was firm at $70 and just reduced his asking price to $65...) Or I can get Naiant X-Q's, new and matched if purchased at the same time, for $32 each, plus $9 each for shock mounts and whatever shipping to...

It's a short-scale, SG-body shape, Kay electric bass. Laminate body, transparent red finish, mahogny-colored, laminate neck. 20 frets plus 0 fret, two single coils that are made to look like buckers. Bridge is adjustable for action and intonation, albeit made of thick stamped sheet metal- it...

Yesterday, replaced most of the caps on my little Monkey-Wards Model 6000 5-watt amp. Idle hum way down, amp still has a very fuzzy, distorted tone with volume more than half way up- that's okay, it is what it is, and I like it that way, for the most part. Still has the original speaker, which...

The recent post on the KX-88 problems reminded me... Batteries Plus replaced the memory battery on my ESQ-1 for something like $11 or less- and that included labor! Just the battery at Radio Shaft was $11, and I figured let them do it- that way if something goes wrong, they replace my synth...

Crown Audio CM 700's- $150 to $200 each... SM57's- $40 to $70 each... A Beta 58A, Beta 57A, Beta 58 and Beta 57- $65 each. Seem pretty good to me, what does the forum say?

Three acoustic guitars under consideration: Left-handed Seagull S6 Dreadnaught- bridge is lifting pretty badly, no other mechanical/sonic issues; Right-handed Seagull S6 Folk. No problems at all. (Oh, for anyone who remembers, I got the Alvarez all ready for Gale, she decided she likes it...

Just starting to get into slide. Most of the instruction I see talk about bottle-neck, but I find I am much more confortable turning my open-tuned guitar up, standing up and using the strap to support it so I can play slide standing up, than trying to play bottle neck. Holding the slide...

I know I have asked some of this before, but would like all good advise in one thread, to make it a bit easier to consider and apply. For serious recording, I have access to my son's pretty well turned out and purpose-built recording studio. However, he and it are in New Orleans, I and my...

Going to look at Fender Deluxe amp that has issues (not vintage) and the same young man has a Behringer Xenyx 1222FX and a Nady drum mic kit. He wants $200 for them both, which is too much- new they would cost me about $270. I am thinking going $100, tops? What be the highest I should pay...

Got a copy of Play Electric Guitar, by Terry Burrows, but the "included" CD is missing. I would like to evaluate it for possible future guitar students (so far, I am wary- found an error the proof-reader/editor should have caught, as early as page 32, and a totally goofy "explanation" of...

I have never made a pickup, but from what I have read, I can handle it. CUT LOOSE- just be all over the map, DON'T HOLD BACK. Tell me what you think.

Got a chance to buy a Roland VS-1680 with 2 effects cards, extra hard drive, CD Burner and owners manuals, $150. could not tell from literature I find online about it- one can record up to 8 channels at once, right? Is that a good price?

Boy, What A Load Of Corporate Crap While trying to find out the impedance of a pair of Bose 102 speakers I have, (five calls to Bose "support," over three days, and two emails, got me nowhere at all) I stumbled onto Wikipedia's post about the company. Good GOD, this thing is obviously written by...

So, lately I have taken to bringing my littlest amp- a Fender Bullett 10R- to my too-big guitar group's rehersal/jams. Don't laugh- that closed-back little thing has a pretty good clean tone, is super light and small, and as we play in a very live room and most of the other guys play only...

http://guitars.musiciansfriend.com/product/Fender-Pro-Tube-Princeton-Recording-Amp?sku=483714 A guy wants to trade for my '77 Pro Reverb. Mostly asking here about suitability of the Princeton Recording as a recording studio's main (maybe only) in-house amp, but if you want to comment on the...

Not dissing this one, but are there some on-line guitar forums that are best? I want to join one or two that: Are easy to navagate thru; Are populated by reasonable folks who understand the difference between HEAT and LIGHT, MUSIC and NOISE, INFORMATION and KNOWLEDGE, YOUTHFUL EXUBERANCE...

About to purchase a used one, have several questions. First, please, guys, let's keep this focused on help and facts, rather than flaming and gut opinions. Some opinions are okay, maybe even good, but if your intent is to rag on me for not knowing jack, or because you hate Alesis and/or HD24...

Found it in Ampeg's J-20 User's Guide: http://www.ampeg.com/pdf/J20_OM.PDF I've cut and pasted it here, there is no copyright stamp on the manual, and I would think Ampeg would appreciate the plug. If you want to print out your own copy, you would do better to go to the link, rather than...
