Okay, another one of my "I'm not a drummer" questions. The semi-casual group I play with includes a drummer. He currently plays a budget-priced kit that includes a 22" bass, 18" floor tom, 13" and 12" (I think_ mounted toms, 14" snare (another estimate- you get the picture.) The space we play...

Nope, I am not giving them away, but you can get 'em as easily as I did. I have put casters from office chairs under two amps so far- had to drill holes in the bottom of a Behringer ACX-1000, but the Ampeg Reverberocket (reissue) already had caster mount brackets installed, AND THE ONES I...

Browsing Atlanta Craigslist, and saw a post for a Roy Clark Guitar, $50. Looks like a cheap China GSO. A little internet research, and sho' nuff, that's exactly what it is. I am so dissapointed that Roy would stoop so low, just to make a buck. I never liked Hee Haw (YUCK!), but I remember...

Full disclosure: I am affiliated with Power Chord Academy- I am contractor providing them with gear rental, live sound and recording for their Atlanta and Miami camp sessions. My contact told me last week that they are aggressively recruiting drummers for ALL their sessions, across the country...

Got a SF Deluxe Reverb that I love. Vintage JBL speaker in it needs to be reconed, but that's just a trip to my fav speaker shop away. Scored a trio of EV 10's- the ones with the absurdly heavy magnets that almost as big as the speakers (can't recall where I put them at the mo, so I can't tell...

Doing a motorcycle project trade for a guitar amp. We are both down with, and pretty much happy to do the trade- the other guy has offered either an Ampeg Reverberocket, or a SF Fender Twin Reverb. Both are mid/late 70's vintage. We already have one SF TR, so I am thinking the Ampeg would be...

I have a pair of old-school, home-stereo cabs that were given to me by a now-deceased friend. Finally, after having them for about a year, I decided to test them out- they actually sound pretty decent, hooked up to a Bose 1800 (250 watts/channel at 8 ohms) amplifier I scored for next to...

We have a pair of JBL Professional AS2215's. Excellent speakers, came out of a church that was upgrading and garage-selling these. 15" drivers, horns, bi-amplifiable, certified flyable from several points. Only thing is, they are multi-ply, stained birch, and every time we take them out, they...

I'm not a drummer. Okay, that's out of the way... What's the deal with brass? I own a COB 60's Slingerland snare, but I can't hear much diff between it and the cheap Percussion Plus snare I also have. Piccolo snares are what, compared to standard size snares? Louder? Sharper? Higher...

So, after 42 years, I am FINALLY restoring my '68 Telestar Hollowbody 2-pickup electric guitar. Not going to replace any components- 3-way switch already replaced, pots are fine, etc., unless... The obviously (?) single-coil pickups have THREE WIRES coming from them- one black, one blue, one...

PART ONE: I've heard a lot about how the Eminence Ragin' Cajun 10 improves the SCXD's bass response, and a while back a friend who deals in new gear wanted a cab I had. He discounted the RC from his wholesale price the same amount I wanted for the cab, so we had a deal. It certainly is a...

The mininster (or whomever is leading the service) at my little UU church gets everyone in a more proper state of mind by hitting a small gong. Thing is, it's smallish size- about 10 inches in diameter, and fairly light-weight construction means it does sound with much volume or authority...

So, this guy wants to trade a Yamaha 2404 board for something smaller. I have three such boards- a Soundcraft 200SR, a Tascam M-216 and a Mackie 1604VLZ-PRO. He is interested in either, and I am having some difficulty is deciding which I would prefer to trade away. First, let me tell you why...

No sooner do I post about converting a machine to half-track, when one shows up stupid low money. 1/4" TASCAM 32. Thing is, it came from a radio station. I have heard they get HEAVY use in that application- is that true? Any other problems I might encounter? What might be the most one might...

By 2-track, I mean a R2R machine that records two tracks on one pass, using the entire tape width, rather than it recording two tracks on one pass, then two more on the "return" or other-direction pass. I have the following, all working or easily repairable: Revox A-77 2-track/quarter track/...

Had a wild idea. Some amps have line-out jacks, and of course all have at least one input. Could a stomp box effects unit be made with TWO inputs, one for the guitar, the other connected from the amp's line-out, and the output connected to the amp's input? Would that be, in effect, an...

Picking up a new bass student, who is buying my only bass amp- a Fender Frontman 25B. Great opp. to upgrade, methinks. Now, I'm not so sure... Thought I wanted something around 50-65 watts, single 10 or 12. Today I auditioned a USA-made Ampeg, a SWR LA-10 and -12, and an Ibenez, all fit...

Considering buying one I found in Craig's List. Price is good, for a Squier- but aren't the Korean-made S-II's considered sleepers?

Did a google search on a guitar listed on Atlanta Craigslist and this came up: http://www.usedprice.com/dropdown.php?catname=musical_instrument&mfrid=3731&typeid=149&pl=1700 It's by subscription, I see a year sub. for "Guitar, Pro Audio, Vintage" is $365. Seems like a poor value, but maybe I...

Never gave much thought to forming a "Power Trio" until recently, and reading the Wicipedia entry http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_trio has me thinking I'd like to experiment with that format. I am a guitarist, bassist and harmonica player (ordered there according to which I have played the...
