I meant to provide a bit of an update on all my rewiring endeavours - in summary, I rewired two guitars, replacing the pickups in my LP Studio with Bare Knuckle Stormy Mondays and replacing the pickups in my Pacifica 412 with a variety of 'hotter' pups. I also replaced the switch and picked up a...

Hey all, Can anybody explain why there are two outputs from the switch in the pic below (or why the one 'out' is wired across two terminals?) [/IMG] The reason I ask is that the switch I'm using right now has one obvious out and also has what appears to be an earth which isn't attached to a...

Hey again guys. Just wondered if I should be overly-concerned about pitted gold hardware on my LP. I understand that metal corrodes but looking at the stop-taiol and tune-o-matic, I'm worried in time, excessive rusting could make bridge adjustments difficult. I assume this is just par for the...

Hey all. A 'Stormy Monday' Humbucker set just arrived from Bare Knuckle Pickups. I was gonna drop my LP Studio into a tech to have them installed but after a bit of poking around, I stumbled upon a revelation of sorts! It looks like the braid just needs to be earthed to a volume pot and then...

Hey all. Set up my kit with 8 mics for the first time yesterday. I wanted to close mic the toms and figured I'd try the underside of the snare too, just for funsies. Results were pretty mixed. I like the kick and I think the toms could sound good, but the snare really needs to be tuned down a...

Any pearls of wisdom the brothers would like to impart? Have a hard time finding the sweet spot between tight and loose. Too tight and it's very dull, too loose and there's no pop...I assume this is just the same as tuning a standard kit?

Sorry for all the basic drum questions of late, just have a few new mics on the way and I'm trying to get things set-up just right. With that in mind, I'm wondering as what distance you guys keep between top and bottom hats when the pedal is not depressed? Thanks boys.

Just wondering about the importance of various drum mics. I'm thinking that, in order of importance, you could rank them like so: OHs Kick Snare (Top) Toms? Snare (Bottom)? Hi Hat? Is this about right? Also, has anyone tried a SDC on the underside of a snare? And is a SDC preferable when...

Just wondering what the verdict is on the former for the purposes of micing guitar amps (also, if it's noticeably better than the e606) and in the case of the latter, whether I'm wasting my time using it on a floor tom? Thanks guys.

http://www.fret-king.com/supertbsc_spec.html Not sure if Vintage are as popular across the pond as they has been here of late. For those of you not familiar with the brand, Vintage initially catered for the entry-level end of the market with various Strat, Tele and LP clones. Trev Wilkinson got...

A cover of 'Harvest'. Draft mix, still needs some work. Might have potential. http://www.soundclick.com/bands/default.cfm?bandID=718574

Anybody got any of their stuff? The 'Philosophers Tone' compressor sounds fantastic.

Since I've started working in January in my first real job after college, I've had no time to practice. I can snatch a half-hour here in the evenings but gone are the days where I could practice for three or four hours at a time. And it's really starting to show. i tried tracking a simple...

lol lik longh tyme no sie multi! howe arh you and Digmon lol Seriously, I have a question about 'tone'. As I understand it, the more extreme the break-angle over the nut the better - generally speaking! I was wondering if I should then put a decent amount of string around the tuning post...

Picked one up yesterday. Only had a quick play with it today, but very happy so far. Just fattens things up nicely.

Anybody ever done this? Sexy results?

It's been a while. Jazz'd up version of an old trad tune. I find the guitar makes the whole thing sound cluttered but I'm happy with the vox. www.soundclick.com/glasshouserecordings

Hello almighty mic gurus! I have a cheap ribbon on the way from thomann.de. Was thinking of using it to close mic two rack toms, but was wondering if this is possible given it's figure-of-eight configuration. I'm thinking, from a logical standpoint, that it could be positoned between each rack...

Clear up some PM space brah, my last one bounced :eek: :)

Couple of things. Firstly, should my top and bottom hats be equidistant from one-another the whole way around? There seems to be a bit of a tilt in my hat. Secondly - and maybe this is a related issue - but could someone explain why, at the base of my clutch, there is metal rectangle that...
