    May Be Aquiring A Squire 20th Anniv. Model That Has Been Butchered

    The guy is interested in a project motorcycle I am selling. He offered as partial trade a2002 Squire 20th Anniv. Strat, which has some rather bizarre mods to it: The plastic pickguard has been replaced with a copper (metal, not copper-colored) plate cut in the shape of the original guard, and...

    Beauty Really IS In The Eye Of The Beholder

    These two post appeared, right next to each other, in today's Atlanta Craig's List: Beautiful Estonia Grand Piano - $23500 - (Alpharetta) pic Beautiful First Act Acoustic Guitar (GREAT SHAPE!!) - $95 - (Dacula, GA) Incredible. Same word used to describe a rising world-class instrument, and...

    HELP! Need A Condenser that's good for 30-Voice Choir, in Atlanta, GA, for THIS WEEK

    I agreed to mic/PA the service at my UU church for Easter Sunday, which includes an 30-voice choir, so that overflow people, seated outside, can hear the service. (Why a UU church is so keen on Easter Sunday, don't ask me...) But I realized, all my Condensers, save one small-diaphram which...

    ADA MP-1 vs. Digitech RP-3/5/6/7/20

    I gotta Fender Deluxe 112 amp that has a blown pre-amp. Not worth fixing, but I can do just fine with it by going guitar>RP-7>Deluxe112 power amp return. Been looking for a cheap Digitech RP-something- from what I see, it can be a -3, -5, -6, -7 or even -20. All these seem to be old enough to...

    Here's Your Big Chance To TOTALLY Diss A Famous Guitarist

    Dimebag, Hendrix, Satrani, Segovia, hell, even Clapton- there is at least ONE person who just hates their sound, and can't, for the life of him/herself, figure out what all the fuss is about. This thread is your chance to let it out. A few rules, please: One dissed guitarist per member...

    Questions For Drummers- Studio and Smaller Venue Volume/ Atack Control

    A few questions for those drummers who know their way around playing in a recording studio- any pro recording session drummers here? Scored one of these as part of a bunch of drum stuff I just got cheap: http://www.samedaymusic.com/product--AQUCS Cool idea, and I am told they do a good job of...

    WTB: Texas Special MID pup

    Mid in the set I traded for is kaput- no sound, except for that click when I tap it with a screwdriver, and that is actually much lower than the other two pups. Seller has agreed to either buy another mid, or un-do the deal, giving me my other Strat back, etc. But I'd rather not go the un-do...

    Solid State Amps For LIVE, Rather Than Tubes?

    I am of a couple of apparently (but not really) contradictory opinions: 1. Tube guitar amps almost always sound better than solid state amps (Similar amps being compared- you wouldn't expect a 3-watt radio tube amp to sound as good as a quality, modern, 50-watt modeling amp.) For honing one's...

    Got The Texas Specials- Questions Arise

    Went with the Texas Specials- I may have preferred some of the others I mentioned in another thread, but that guy stopped replying to my emails, so I guess he changed his mind. Anyway, one strange, and one stranger, thing happened: When I put a DC ohmmeter to the set, I got a reading of 7.7...

    Power Handling Capability Of RS Phone Plug Coupler- Also, Radio Shack SUCKS!

    These little phone plug couplers http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2103722&tab=techSpecs are pretty handy to have- I keep a half-dozen of them handy. If a TS or TRS cable run is longer than I have cable to go that distance, it does the job. But I find the time I need them...

    My Experience Is That Tone Controls on Guitars Do Very Little

    Pretty much the same, on a MIJ strat copy, a Squire Stratocaster, a Epi Les Paul (both before and after the change to Burstbucker Pro's) a Westone Spectrum (HSS setup), and almost every guitar I have ever played- the on-board, passive tone controls have an effect on tone when turned to the full...

    Fender MIM Jazz Bass Hum, Goes Away When I Crank Tone Control

    Tonight, I heard a hum when I plugged my MIM Fender Jazz bass into my bud's amp. The hum went away when I touched the metal plate the plug and knobs are mounted on, or turned the tone up (or was it down? It's late, I don't remember.) Is it possible this is a simple thing to fix? My head...

    Should I Buy My Buddy's Tascam FW-1884?

    A guitar/mandolin playing friend of mine GROUND SCORED a Tascam FW-1884- one of his neighbors has LEFT IT OUT FOR THE TRASH. Apparently, my buddy has scored a decent snare drum and a guitar case the same way, from the same guy. SOMETHING'S gotta be up, but I don't suspect my buddy of any...

    About To Say Goodbye To An Old Friend

    Well, old friend, I think it’s time we parted ways. Yes, I am a bit sad about it, but really, we both will be better for it, and I am glad we part as friends. The nature of our relationship is such that we probably will not meet again, but that’s okay, too- and if we do, I will certainly be...

    New Pups- Texas Specials, DiMarzios, or Van Zandt Strats?

    So, posted the Strat copy in Craigs List, with a note that I may be interested in some SSS pups for it's replacement, and got two guys interested in it. One guy offered some DiMarzios (have not heard back from him as to what models, so I guess just tell me about DZ's you know about) and some...

    Humifiding My Guitars- Recent Experiences

    I have several Keyser sound-hole humidifers- they work well, but all except one are for smaller holes like on classicals. SH on my Harmony tenor is too small for them. Do have one that fits my dreads- but I have three D-sized guitars, so I gotta get two more. Put that one in the soundhole of...

    On "Expert" Advise

    (First, know that I am not ragging on anyone here. If someone is tempted to take this personally, I would suggest they look inward, and ask themselves, "DOES this apply to me?" If the answer is "yes," or "it could," that person really needs to do some soul searching...) A recent post about a...

    I Just Think a Les Paul BASS Is Goofy

    Just saw one on atlanta Craig's List. Seems like the goofiest ideas for a bass I have ever seen. Looks all out of proportion. Can't imagine anybody wanting one. Am I a minority of one, here?

    Recording Booth????

    http://atlanta.craigslist.org/msg/1040928569.html What I can't figure out is, the guy's got a Bianchi racing bike hung in the background- Bianchi's are nothing to sneeze at- we aren't taking Roadmaster or Wally World crap, here- and yet he cobbles up THIS abortion??
