    Epi LP special II mod

    Not sure why in the hell I decided to do this but I'm throwing a few bucks at that Epi I got a few months ago before I ship it off. It started out as just wanting to upgrade the electronics and quickly spiraled out of control...not even sure I want to get rid of it anymore at this point...

    Yeah, so I'm a Waves whore... :o Bought one or two plugs and I'm on the mailing list now. Not sure how good the SSL sims are but they're marked down to $299 from $700 something.

    Having a techie brain fart, need some help

    Let me start by asking has anyone else been experiencing issues with youtube lately? For at least the past 2-3 days videos either just won't load or it takes almost 5 minutes for a video to start. Doesn't matter if they are in youtube's page or imbedded anywhere else. So far I have reset my...

    Just thought I'd pass it along just in case anyone was looking for a good deal on a decent convolution reverb. :thumbs up:

    Guitar finishing question or two...

    I think I've got my color mixture figured out... 3 drops of bright green, 2 drops of black mixed in alcohol. This is just a pine sample, won't have a chance to go snag a piece of scrap maple til Friday at the earliest. Got my template cut, going with a standard Tele body since it seemed like...

    Guitar finishing question or two...

    So I've been watching hours and hours of youtube videos and reading stewmac stuff relating to finishing techniques, which is maybe putting the cart before the horse as I'm not convinced I have a body shape (or electronics and hardware) nailed down yet. The only thing I know is that it's going...

    Holy crap, just got my '65 Epi back!

    First, and foremost, if any of you live in the northeast part of Indiana (Auburn / Ft Wayne area) I'm going to have to throw out a recommendation for a shop up there in Auburn called Guitar Infirmary. (Not sure if the shout out is kosher, mods can delete if it crosses a line - I don't work...

    anyone have any experience with the dunlop mini fuzz face pedals?

    Been eyeballing the band of gypsies fuzz that dunlop makes, especially since they don't make the full size anymore. There are still plenty out there on the market but there is also the mini, which includes a 9v power connection versus having to drill a hole and fit a battery adapter through on...

    Got the wood...

    The body blank and flame maple top came in today. After my last final tomorrow I'm going to get the glue flowing (got the glue from stewmac, too, it should work fine) and glue them together so I can get to figuring out the shaping. But I might not; been considering doing a semi-hollow build if...

    Guitar body wood

    Not sure if this has been covered but I know a few of you roll your own guitar/bass bodies around here. I want to try out my hand at doing it, too. I've got about everything to do the woodwork except a bandsaw (jigsaw might work) - I've got access to a bandsaw if it is the only way to do the...

    Quick danelectro question

    Crappy picture but helluva guitar! Question is about the lipstick pickups. Not sure how sensitive they are compared to "standard" single coils but there is a noticeable difference in volume between the bridge and "neck" pickup. The neck (more like middle) pickup is considerably louder than...

    EastWest issues with loading new stuff...

    Steen may be on top of this one; not sure. I've had Silk for a while and got that up and running in as long as it took to load the library onto my HDD. I just got Stormdrum3 yesterday and have been fighting to make it work. For starters, even following the install instructions to a T, my...

    Brand new (used) addition...what should I do with it?

    A guy in one of my summer classes and I got to talking last week about guitars and playing, I guess he tried and gave up. He just left after accepting $20 for an Epiphone LP special II - that little crappy bolt-on LP wannabe. It doesn't even appear to have been played much, no dings or...

    high-priced Gibbies

    Damn, Bill, that is a sweet looking guitar. I've always wanted a custom in white with the gold hardware - one of these days... Minerdude, here's my ES135 in blueburst... This was my second Gibson back in the old gigging days. Had a cherry faded SG before that but the SG was sold to pay some...

    high-priced Gibbies

    Here ya go, Miner... It's a phone pic so it's not great but it's a great guitar. I had a run on it after I took the pic and damn, I missed it. Even though it pops out of tune it still sounds good. Does yours have the coil splitting knobs? I don't ever jack with them but I suppose they...

    Question about cable management...

    I've got a modest little DAW setup... Underneath, however, looks like a complete mess... As is stands right now, I have no issues getting clean signals from mics and out of monitors - even though almost each and every wire is entwined with power cords. Before I go through the trouble of...

    If I were to piece together a new PC, would my original HDD (with win 7) work?

    I'm toying with the notion of upgrading to a new PC simply for the sake of having a larger case and fitting more internal HDDs. If I were to, say, get another mobo that supported the CPU that I have, put the CPU into the new mobo and swapped the boot drive to the new case, would windows still...

    Anybody use sx3 still? Free book...

    I know it's super way outdated; I'm going through cleanup mode and came across a badass book for cubase sx3. I just thought that if anyone could use it I'd offer it up...otherwise it's probably going into the recycle bin.

    Interface/converter upgrade or is there a workaround?

    Scenario: home recorder with modest setup, interface with 8 mic/line ins and 2 bands wanting me to record a few songs for them on the cheap (depending on how long they take). Both bands have the full drum kit - kick, 4 toms, hats, cymbals and snare. One is all acoustic with 2 guitars that...

    For sale - Novation Launchpad Mini

    $30.00, that's as low as I can go on a brand new unit that I dropped $100 on a month ago. I'll even cover shipping (within the continental 48 states via UPS ground or USPS priority). This thing needs a good home where it will be used!
