    Considering Ampeg J12T As Replacement for My Deluxe Reverb SF

    My son scored some gear, including a mid-90's Ampeg J12T. Not "the" amp the SF DR is, perhaps, but I am considering it. If I send the DR to New Orleans, he can make some money renting it out on occasion, I get the J12T and eventually my DR back, with a fresh going-over right before I re-take...

    Taking The Wraps Off

    Scored an early'60's CB700 kit a while back, for next to nothing, it's only real problem was the wraps were cracking and buckling. Replacement wraps are something silly/stupid like $250 (been a while since I checked,) so I decided to try a different approach. The wraps came off super easy...

    What Might Be The Going Price For These Three R2R Machines"

    I am gonna sell at least one, probably two or maybe even all three. After a trip to Atlanta Tape for a basic but good going-over, what would be a fair asking price for: Teac 3340S- 4 track, 1/4" Fostex R8- 8-track 1/4" And, a Tascam 38- 8 track 1/2"? Thanks.

    Paper Jamz - Choose your country Stumbled across it when I was researching info on Gibson/China. Be sure to check out the PRODUCT > GUITARS > SEE DEMO > (scroll down) PAPER JAMZ GUITAR DEMO. A warning: it starts with "Why play an electric guitar...?"

    From A Business Standpoint, Is It Worth Investing in Boutique Amps?

    My son's rehearsal/recording business in New Orleans is doing pretty well, and he's branching out. One area of interest is backline/rental gear, and he thinks he can fill a nitch by stocking boutique and out-of-the-ordinary amps. He's already made some money "hittin' em where they ain't,"...

    What's That Yellow Stuff, & New Orleans Guitars?

    Look at the second-to-last pic: http://www.blackstrat.net/LesPaul/LesPaulInfo.html What is that thick, yellow stuff apparently pooled at the bottom (front of guitar) of the pot cavity? It's obviously there for some reason, but I don't ever remember seeing it there on other guitars...

    POLL: Which Of These Two Lyrics Do You Prefer?

    Below are some lyrics from two different songs. I'd like anyone who is interested, to take the poll, but BEFORE YOU LOOK, a few rules to keep this unbiased: 1. Please don't google either of them, or at least, don't until you have taken the poll. 2. If you recognize either lyric, please...

    Almost Said F-it Tonight

    An extension of my thread https://homerecording.com/bbs/general-discussions/mixing-techniques/collecting-opinions-mic-placement-jazz-trio-319869/ So, the guy who is "producing" this little thing has been dealing with some frustrating work stuff (he's a house builder- get the picture?) and it's...

    Fretless Conversion- Could It Be THIS Easy?? Light? Muttley? Anyone?

    Played a fretless, briefly, while in New Orleans last weekend, and I was reminded of why I love that instrument so much- the tone of the strings is just so different, from first pluck to end of sustain. So, I am inspired to revive my fretless conversion project. First decision will be: The...

    Mumford and Sons' "Little Lion Man:" What Kind of Banjo Playing?

    My buds and I do this song, at my suggestion, and one of us owns a 5-string banjo- but he never brings it to rehearsal (well amost never,) and says he does not think he can play the banjo part fast enough. I recently bought a 4-string tenor banjo, a match to my Harmony Tenor guitar. I am...

    FS: 100 Brand New, Unopened Cassette Tapes

    Not my listing, and I don't need 'em, I just saw the post on Atlanta Craigslist and thought someone here might be interested. I noticed the coding holes on the back end are only there to prevent recording, so obviously they are normal bias. Guy's asking $40 OBO, I don't know if it's a good...

    Rehabbing Pitted and Dented Drum Heads

    Read on this site How to Buy a Cheap Drum Kit That Sounds Great: The Whole Truth about how Jim Kletner would put a candle under his pitted drum heads to remove the dents. I thought, "Hey, that Peavey International kit I just bought as some of the most pitted heads I have ever seen, let's give...

    Why Paint The Inside Of A Drum Shell? Why gray?

    What does it do? Why not, say, white, or black, or whatever? It's an easy-enough thing to do- will it have any effect on a cheap drum?

    Where Do Peavey International Drums Fit In Peavey's Line, and In Drumdom In General?

    Snagged a set of Peavey International Drums today at such a sweet price I just HAD to grab 'em. But, the line is discontinued by Peavey. Are they better or not as good as, say, Peavey Exports? Judging from the appointments, I'd say they are entry+, but as Greg will no doubt point out, what do...

    Shure SM-18B- Gonna Try Something...

    Scored two, NOS, for a sweet price. Obsolete mic, not made since about the late 80's. These are designed as podium mics, and come with a foam "mouse" that the mic sits in, and is set on the surface of the podium. An unobtrusive, out of the way mic. Gonna try them as piano mics. Spoke to...

    Recapping StudioMaster Mix Down Classic?

    Board is about 12-15 years old. Not heavy use. How many caps might need changing? I am assuming it's a fairly easy recap job, the board having channel strips and being well-built. Anybody?

    Two Interesting Fender Amps and One VERY Interesting Owner's Manual

    Recently acquired, for our pro New Orleans rehearsal and recording studio, a Fender Ultimate Chorus 212, and a Fender red knob "The Twin." These things are interesting... UC has DSP chorus, delay, flange and reverb, and a 3-button footswitch, but it's most interesting feature is a mono AND a...
