You can have any amp but only one; which would you choose? You could have no stomp boxes, just your guitar (see other thread) direct to amp. Which one would you choose. (lets keep it one per person, no I'd have this or that). So it's really a which in your opinion best, most diverse amp...

Suppose for a moment you could choose. What guitar would you have (only one-not x or x and x etc). This would be your only guitar, you would not have any other to play on. What specs/pick-ups/colour etc.

Okay, start dreaming. If money was not an issue what drum kit would you buy (including modifications) or what would your ideal kit comprise?

The best and cheapest methods please. Is it egg boxes, toilet paper (wet and thrown on wall) or a more purpose specific solution. Any ideas? Cheers.

Hi, I'll keep this straight to the point: (it's got nothing to do with whiskey) -I would be appreciative of any information and thank you in advance. -I aint a drummer, but can. -I am currently working on my first album (at home) and will shortly need to lay some drum tracks over the guide...

These two amps are very similar in price. One is of course a triple super lead and the other a dual. The triple lead head also has eq on each channel as opposed to the dual head which only has the one eq for both channels. I have not been able to listen to either yet but will be shortly...

Which is the best pedal/rack for outright sustain. (not cheap sustain, warm sustain, like a beautiful vintage wine)? I am fully aware of the fact that you get sustain from your amp and guitar settings but I'm talking about enhancing that even further. The TS-9, TS-10 and big muff have been...

I have a POD pro (for my guitar). I need to record some bass tracks for my album I am working on. My question. Can I transfer via midi, bass tones from the line 6 web site into my POD pro? This would save me buying a seperate bass POD, I doubt it's possible though. Any suggestions? Cheers.

O.K. the best album in terms of music and lyrics has gone far, what about the musician all-round, Lennon, Mcartney, Dylan etc. Who do you admire the most as an all round contributor to music, who has made the most impact overall, and any reasons would also be welcome.

Looking at the artile below (at the time of writing) I noticed the question about rusty pick-ups. My frets on one guitar have developed a kind of rust(or something else(and I haven't neglected it)), I wonder if there is any suggestions as to what I should do as a remedial cure. Thanks, Krystof.

Out of interest, what techniques did/do you employ in order to increase the speed of picking notes (scales up and down the neck etc) and also on the accuracy of your picking (hitting the right string 99.9% of the time)? I ask this because me and three other guitarists got together last week and...

Many artists/bands choose to sell out (go commercial-not for the music etc.). What is your opinion towards this-any bands to shame, would you consider selling-out to get the money then fall back to the music, who do you respect for staying all for the music, etc, etc-general discussion I guess.

About the tubescreamer, what's the difference between the 9 and the 10 and also the TS9 DX-thanks?

When we make the transition from being guitar players/others to recording, it is a big step, my question is how well planed were/are you. When I set up with recording facilities there was literally a few thousand pounds to be spent on extras. How much extra did you have to spend compared with...

So you've writen part of a song, maybe lyrics, maybe music-what next-don'tyou feel you expected more from that song you started. This post is about songs with potential that kind of went wrong, why did they fuck up, who fucked them up and what did you do. As an example, I write a melody that...

On my Korg D16 I have th option of recording either 8 tracks of 24 bit or 16 tracks of 16 bit-is there that much of a difference? Later, Krystof.

What if any pedal will emulate the kind of sound that the blues man has, with a nice hold etc?

Invest in at least one SM-57. There have also been some recent posts on this kind of subject, like mic placememnt-check them out.

There are many great albums out there, which one do you acclaima nd why interms of its credibility. I will name mine after others so I can get an overview first.

What type of songs are we talking about. In general it is all about recognition. With me I am concerned with only the 'elite' songs, ie-proper songs. When I play certain people listen. It is quite hard to sell your songs on one performance unless they are catchy on first hearing. One thing...
