    Squier Bullet Special?

    I'm planning on buying one of these, in the near future (be it a few days, weeks or within a month's time), and was wondering if anyone has any string set suggestions toward getting the sound that the Bullet was designed for. I've tried one at the (now defunct) Mars Music in Indianapolis, about...

    Johnson JG-622E acoustic/electric bass?

    Has anybody ever recorded with one of these? Currently, my only other bass is a Squier P-bass, and my combo amp choices are the Squier BP-15 that came with the P-bass, and a Vox T-25. Sometime in the coming future, I'm wanting to buy a Line 6 Bass POD XT Pro. Are there any issues I may need to...

    Turtle Beach/Voyetra Santa Cruz?

    Is this card, residing in my HP pavilion a422n, good enough to do some home recording with, until I can resurrect my dead beige G3 Power Mac (that has an M-Audio Audiophile 2496 card in it)? Or should I wait until I've gotten around to finishing building my home brewed Wintel box, and my Mac is...

    A good read about Don Leslie, and his speaker cabinets.

    Although there are still no details, in the wake of Don Leslie's passing, on Friday, 3 September 2004 at the age of 93, here is something I've had bookmarked, concerning the "feud" between Mr. Leslie and Hammond organ inventor Laurens Hammond. Compiled by Harvey Olsen, who personally knew Mr...

    Passing of Don Leslie :-(

    Found out, today, that Don Leslie, inventor of the rotary tone cabinet that bears his name, has passed away...heart problems is all I've heard of, for now. More details, as soon as I find anything...or feel free to jump in with 'em, as ya get 'em. Matt Lawrence

    Which Telecaster?

    I'm trying to decide which Fender Telecaster, between their Powerdyne & U.S. Special Highway One models. I've tried the U.S. Special Highway One Tele, versus a $350 buck Standard Tele, and the differences are noticeable. Unfortunately, the guitar store didn't have any Powerdynes, so I couldn't...

    Internet DJ mic?

    What's the least I can get away with, as far as a mic that'll be used for being a DJ for an internet radio station? I know that Radio Shack sells Shure mics, so I'm thinking about going in that direction. But, with my current setup, the furthest I'd be able to get the mic, from my Power...

    Eko Silvertone violin bass?

    Someone I'm chatting with, on Palace chat, has an old violin bass that a friend gave her. After showing a picture of the only name that shows on it, it seems to be a Silvertone, but with the script broken off just ahead of the e...thus it says "ertone." From what I've been able to find, using...

    Any string suggestions (guitar & bass)?

    My Squier Fat Telecaster has the same strings that was on it, when I bought it 2 years ago, and my Squier P-bass has the same that was on it, when I bought it 4 years ago. As such, and especially with the bass, I'm having to re-tune everytime I decide to play. Yes, it's about high time I find...

    Guitars through bass amps?

    Got a question based on experience with 2 different guitars, through a bass amp. More specifically, my Squier Fat Telecaster through the Squier BP-15 bass combo (that came with my Squier P-bass Pack), versus my new Ibanez AG75TBS through the same amp. I've played the Fat Tele through my Vox T25...

    Koestler Harmophone?

    Has anyone, besides me, ever heard of/seen/owned one of these little "suitcase" organs? I found mine at an antiques dealer, about 3 years ago, and all that I really know is, it was made before 1989 in West Germany (the "west" designation's what gave me a guess about the age <G>). To describe...

    What happened to podtalk.com?

    Tonemonster, if ya happen to read this, I haven't been able to connect to podtalk.com for about a week, now. Everytime I click the link on my toolbar, or hand type the URL, it takes me to some kind of administration page??? Is podtalk.com a thing of the past, or is it at a new address? Matt

    Strumming a bass?

    Okay, what possibilities are there, to strumming a bass like a regular guitar...other than what I discovered, last night, while just playing around? I THINK I might be able to get away with the "drum kit" sound I got, for a few songs. Between the bass, and Fat Tele with PODs, I may be able to...

    Yamaha PSR-290?

    The local Sam Goody has one of these, for $219. How well would this do, for an entry level setup? Or should I maybe wait a few more months, and go with something better (hopefully no more than $200 over what I'm asking about)?

    PowerLogix PowerForce 800 ZIF?

    Has any beige G3/Blue & White G3 users done this upgrade, yet? If so, what, if any, performance gains were realized, using recording/sequencing software under the 800MHz G3 upgrade? I'm at 333MHz, right now, and I'll probably get the PowerForce 800 ZIF upgrade, soon...if anything, to keep my...

    FX in Cubase VST 4.1?

    Although I'm not quite setup to start recording, I'm more wondering if I can apply any phasing effects, once I have recorded tracks available to work with? I'm not sure to what extent I want to use the effect, but I can hear it, in my "mind's ear," as I continue to practice my guitar & bass...

    Minimalist home recording setup?

    I'm inching closer and closer, to being able to start recording some of my music, and especially as soon as my sister is all the way moved into her apartment, and I take over her room (my old room, that I shared with my brother anyway, when we were kids). So far, I've got a Line6 Guitar POD 2.0...

    Anyone know anything about Octamatic amps?

    There's a trading post store (antiques, collectibles, miscellaneous kinda stuff), about 5 miles west of where I live, that has a guitar combo amp that says Octamatic on the front...don't know if that's a brand or model name. It was there, the last time I was there a few months back, but I didn't...

    Record guitar & bass directly to Mac?

    Someone on IRC (#hamtech on StarChat) told me that I could record my guitar directly to my Mac, through the Audiophile 2496 card, but that I might not like the sound that results. Right now, since I'm unable to just mike one of my amps - my setup's in a common area, right now :( - I need to be...

    Baritone & 12-sting on the cheap?

    I was just told about this site, last night, as it relates to home recording on the computer-based recording side. Right now, as far as axes go, I already have a Squier Fat Telecaster, and a Squier P-bass, with a Realistic MPS-45 (10W), Fender AmpCan (15W), Squier BP-15 (15W) and Vox T-25 (25W)...
