    Upgrading or Hot-Roding Cheap Drum Sets- Please Contribute

    China-made "stencil brand" drum kits are common as nails, cheap as dirt, and usually sound about as good as either- but they are not going away, no matter how much we rail against their poor quality, horrible sound, or repercussions (pun intended) of buying cheap, low-quality "goods" from China...

    Important Lesson I Learned Today...

    The barrel of a dynamic mic and the neck of a bottle of beer feel a LOT alike. And are NOT to be confused with each other. Don't ask...:eek::facepalm:

    FOR SALE: Revox _-77

    Hope it's okay to put this here- I figured it would get more views here in Analog than in For Sale... I can't recall if it's an A-77 or a B-77, and don't have the time at the mo to figure it out. Also, I can never remember what "half-track" means except when talking about tanks, but it records...

    Could This Be A "Can't Miss At This Price" Bass?

    There's a Starfire brand 6-string fretless bass on ebay for $95, including shipping. Lefty, too. I've been jonesin' for a fretless bass, thinking of converting one of mine, but that could be a lot of work. I know that one will probably need some work after I get it, just don't know how much...

    Some Good 12-16-input, Rack-Mount Mixers? What Do You Like, Have Experience With?

    So, I'm shopping for a new mixer for my church (being a UU/humanist, I feel the need to mention that it's a UU congregation... just my issues, feel free to ignore that part.) We currently have a Mackie- can't recall what model, but it's got a total of 12 input channels, but Mackie cheats on...

    HR NEEDS A Recording Industry Attorney As A Forum Member

    Does anybody know one who might join? Questions keep coming up that, really, none of us are qualified to answer, and when we do try, we usually fall short. If an entertainment-industry attorney joined the forum, of course he or she could answer those questions far better than most of us,and...

    Looking For "Bullett-Proof" 212 Guitar Combo

    Lately, two, or maybe it's three, of the 212's we have in the rehearsal studio have crapped out. An older Peavey Stereo Chorus, and a much newer Fender FM212. The Fender pisses me off the most, but I guess it shouldn't- you can tell the thing is cheaply made, even with your eyes closed and it...

    To SELL: Guitars- Left and Right Handed; Guitar Amps

    In need of some cash, so some of my babies gotta go. You will no doubt notice there are no prices listed- I will be fair in my asking prices, PM me about what you are interested in. GUITARS, RIGHT HANDED: "Recco" 60's vintage MIJ hollowbody electric. Very good condition, with the exception of...

    Sad, Sad Sight...

    While running down a garage sale today, I thought I found it and walked up the driveway. Nope, no garage sale- just a garage-full of stuff put out on the driveway. A few basic steel shelves, a red-painted bed headboard, and... a freakin' GRAND PIANO, legs removed, sitting on a few pillows...

    Can The Squire Trem Bridge Be Installed on a Fende Strat?

    I've got a Squire Standard Strat, lefty, that I am selling. A guy wants it, and will be installing a Floyd Rose tremolo bridge in it right away- so he neither needs nor wants the "modern" (2-piviot screw) trem bridge. I might remove it before I sell him the guitar. I don't plan on owning...

    I Finally Sold Some Gear!

    I don't mean gear I bought on spec, I mean gear I played for a reasonable time. Sold the Fender Champ 25SE, even though I loved it's clean tones. Just didn't play it much, any more. Got a good price, made a decent profit. I'll miss it on occasion, but the money is nice. The lefty Squire...

    Good Free Website To Learn Lead Guitar?

    I don't doubt this has been asked before, but as usual, a search nets so much stuff it is hard to separate wheat from chaff- so please forgive the re-ask. I just bought a 24-fret guitar. Even if I don't keep it, I figure owning such a thing will motivate me to see if I can play lead worth a...

    NGD! Washburn X-30 Guitar, and Zoom Fire-18M!!

    Popped into a Goodwill store, not expecting to find anything- Goodwill is notorious for charging too much. Saw a Washburn X-30- and wonder of wonders, it was LEFT HANDED! I play lefty! Turns out, it was a set- guitar, amp and guitar stand. No instrument cable, so I could not test it. Used...

    Old Vid of Lynyrd Skynyrd- Why Two Mics On Every Stand?

    Here's the vid: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AaTZkIInYNw Note that each mic stand has TWO mics on it- second taped to the first. I am thinking the first was for the PA, the second one was fed to the recording console? I have seen this on other vids from the same era, but not recently. Do...
