You got a mention in last month's Guitar Buyer - something about head of Customer Service for JBL? Good hustle! :)

That is the question. I've found tuning toms to be pretty tough in and of itself without having to worry about those ringing overtones. I'm tempted to go the masking tape route...what do you guys do?

I've been vowing to spend some cash on an old Pearl Target kit that had been set aside since it was bought. So today, I bought a bunch of Evans Double-Ply heads, some Meinl MCS hardware, a World Max vintage snare and a Sennheiser e 606 and e 604. For me, the difference is night and day. The...

Suppose the action is high on the E, A and D strings of my Les Paul, but lowering the action via the thumbscrew causes buzzing. Do I have a neck relief issue?

In my recent attempts at 'learning by doing', I removed the scratch plate on my LP studio. I've re-attached it but it seems to be a little wobbly. Can I jsut confirm that some of you LP owners in the know that it's only supported by 2 screws? One to the right of the neck pickup and one on the...

I'm hoping some of you can relate to this. You're in the market for a new guitar, so you do your homework, you play a guitar in-store, and you take it home - everything seems fine and dandy. But after a while you realise that it doesn't feel 100% right. The pickups sound a little bland compared...

'65 Mustang Re-issue, MIJ. Really impressed by the build quality. Sounds fantastic too, really snappy. Tried a few MIM Jazzmasters/Jaguars but they were pretty awful - suspect electronics, poor fretwork. Picked up the Mustang on a whim and it sounded just great.

Had my eye on this bad boy. Beautiful looking, with P90s to boot (it would be my first guit with P90s) but set up for 12s. Now, as it's a jazzer, I'd be reluctant to use a different gauge - partly because it's a jazzer, and partly because I'm bad at set-ups! I'm just wondering if you can play...

You can be as vicious as you want with this one, I was trying something new with routing. Sorry for the shitty playing, I'm no drummer! It's 'Drums Test' at www.soundclick.com/glasshouserecordings Thanks guys.

Hey guys. Looking for something that'd keep pace with an acoustic kit, would record reasonably via D.I output and comes in at around $500. No idea where to even start looking, especially when it comes to wattage...any advice would be great.

Both have caught my eye but, being new releases, YouTube demos are limited in number.

Hi guys, just wondering if there are any places where I can download guitar and bass tracks to drum along to? Famous tunes or purpose-recorded, it doesn't matter...they just have to be metronomically tight of course. Cheers guys

Am i missing the master volume control in the EZ Drummer program or is there just none there in the first instance?

When would one hit the hi-hat open continuously? Is it a common technique to hit it in the open position when striking, say, a 1/8 note pattern? I've been noticing a very 'loose hat' sound in alot of records recently - probably because I'm getting a little more used to how the various drums...

So I have my new roland kit (though not to be opened till Christmas!) and I'm reading that handy as the stock samples are, generally sound libraries are a good bet for a more authentic sound. Three names come up again and again; addictive drums, ezdrummer and superior drummer. Now from what I...

So I went the electronic drums route. Roland TD-4K, entry level but I still went over my budget. I'm excited though, I'm a complete newb on the sticks and it's great to have a quiet way to practice - it's nearly worth the money for that alone, as my mum is getting fairly pissed at the Phil...

On a Sunday? Poor form.

...you hit yourself in the balls side-sticking the snare.

I see alot of people with one rack tom and one floor tom. Why is this? And which Tom is usually sacrificed?

...and new TS9 :) Got a Vox AC4TV. As some of you might have noticed, I was checking out the Marshall Clas 5 but I played this in-store today and it's so versatile. Switchable from 1/4 to 1 to 4 watts, so there's 3 readily-accessible tones right there. For me, it's the middle-ground between the...
