    What Color To Make This Tele?

    So, I got a project that just sorta grew. Bought some misc. stuff from a dude- I really think he wanted to fund his next hit of crack- and it included a Squier Telecaster neck and several parts. Gathered the other parts and some spares/upgrades, including a MIM Tele body- nice wood. I keep on...

    Life- and Tubes- Is Cruel

    So, I am loving this little Ampeg J12T I recently got. Simplest amp I have had in a while- one channel, no foot-switch nonsense or effects-loop craziness.;) Got all the effects I really ever want- tremolo and reverb- right on-board, no foot-pedal tap-dance tom-foolery. Only fly in the...

    NOGD: Greg Bennett Avalon With SOAPBARS! WOOHOO!!

    I posted, months ago, first about getting some soapbars and wondering what they sound like, and then about buying a used lefty Greg Bennett Les Paul... well, today I FINALLY put them together. I finally have a guitar with soaps! (That's why it's a "New Old Gear Day.") Played it a bit, back to...

    Really- Should I? Sony 24-track OPEN REEL/DIGITAL Machines

    I just don't know ANYTHING about these- never even thought such a thing existed. Does anybody know about them? Predecessors to ADAT's? Cheap way to record 48 tracks digitally, with the visual "POW!" of open reels spinning 'round, or fiasco looking for a victim? 2 Sony Digital Multi Track...

    Am I The Only One Who Things Pedals-For-Tube-Amp Trades Are Stupid?

    I see post on CL fairly often, where some guy (maybe gal) wants to trade two or more pedals for a tube amp. Sometimes it can get absurd- a half-dozen Boss pedals offered in trade for a Matchless or Dr. Z, etc. but usually the pedals listed are outside my knowledge and experience. I have come...

    Introduction to Multitrack Computer Interface Recording

    Excellent little post, and certainly sticky-worthy. I would suggest you expand on it as your time and knowledge permit, and update it from time to time.

    Is Steve Earle a Member of HomeRecording.com?

    He certainly well could be... ‪Steve Earle - Washington Square Serenade‬‏ - YouTube (If you are short on time, or just ADD, what I am referring to is in the first 1:20.)

    Anybody Have Suggestions On Marketing PA System Equipment Rental/Services?

    Now that I have realized a friend has a pretty deep and wide PA system (at least two notches up from most of what I see) and needs someone to market and run it, I am ready to do much more of this. (Used his system at the r n r summer camp last weekend- infinitely easier than bring a system up...

    Which Is EASIER- Using R16 As Recorder, or Interface? Is BOTH An Option?

    Doing live sound for the rock n roll summer camp again this year. Tascam CDRW2000 has become unreliable, so gotta use something else to make the 2-track CD required in the contract. I see my options as: 1. Record to R16, then save in CDRW-equipped laptop via Cubase LE4, and burn a CD. 2...

    For Sale: Ampeg ATR-700/ Teac 7030/ Tascam 25-2

    Posting here 'cause it's analog, of course... Guy I know here in Atlanta wants $100 for it. Spins up, he has only tested it for mechanical function (passed,) not electronic. Any interest? I am not making money, here, just passing the info on, but you can contact me if you are.

    Does a Marching Band Bass Drum Make A Good Kick Drum?

    I know it's been done, but I have never been up close and personal with the results- what kind of kick drum for a drum kit do you get if you convert a marching bass drum of around 26 X 14, to kick drum use? Very cool, merely usable, or total junk- or somewhere in between? Thanks.

    Line 6- Which Board To Get?

    So, scored a Line 6 212 Spider (red face) a while back for stupid low money- they guy's son had pushed a noodle into the headphone jack, which switched the sound to the speakers off. Easy fix. I figured it will blow away some kid at the r n r summer camp i am providing gear for in July. But...

    Where Have All The China Les Paul Surprises Gone? (Apologies to Peter, Paul and Mary)

    I wonder- I seldom see China LP knock-offs on Craigslist (or maybe I do, they are just not identified as such?) I'd think that there IS a use for them- buy a decent one, used, so you can play it and determine it is one of the few that has, say, good neck, good frets, and install decent...

    The TRUTH About Coffee-Can Method Of "Holeing" Kick Drum Reso Heads

    Having a big vent hole in one's kick drum reso head is a fairly common thing. There was some banter about using a coffee can to melt/cut the hole in another thread a while back- some wondered about it, some said they liked it, some said they hated it. Well, I have a kick-drum head that was...

    When Is It Time To Sell? (Guitars and amps. Some PA Gear, too.

    (This could turn into a long post, but I have tried to construct it like a newspaper article, with the most important info at the top, least import at the bottom- so feel free to stop reading whenever you want, and then (hopefully) post up your best, most honest opinion.? When is it time to...

    Restoring a Hamond M-102

    Picked it up about a month ago, for $40 (about 4 years ago, I could have had the same basic organ, for free, but didn't really have a place to put it at the time.) Everything worked, although when I got it home, the bearings on the motor had developed a considerable noise, so I may need to...
