    Guitar player needs help

    The old Yamaha PSR 500 is ready for the scrap heap and I need something for piano players to use in the home studio. We do little projects for old crooners out here in the desert where they sing covers while the keyboard guy plays. Real simple, and they order lots of CD's so it's worth keeping...

    Best wireless UHF headset mic?

    I hate the dang things but I kind of need to start using one. I use an AKG WR2000 for the guitar and I'm happy with it, but I don't like their mics all that much. Also, range is important. Ran into the guy that's been playing at the Disneyland Hotel the last 22 years and he mentioned a...

    Gibson ES 135 limited edition

    Has anybody played one? MF has 'em on sale for $999 with hsc....down from $1599 street. Seems almost too good to be true. Or is it kind of crappy like the 'faded' SG special? I've already got a '69 ES 150D and don't really need it, but hey, a blonde jazzer would be really nice.

    Blackface Fender Bassman Amp

    I want to sell this amy I've had for 25 years but can't tell what year it is. The serial # is A 32036. On the sticker inside for production it says '31', and is stamped 'QH' on the bottom of the sticker.

    the SM-57

    I need another one. Are they made in China now? Any prices better than the $79 you see everywhere.

    Biggest mic

    An informal observation on my part indicates that vocalists will tend to want to use the biggest mic I have and not necessarily the best one suited for them......a sad fate for my Oktava 012's. So, what's the biggest mic ever made? Was it the old RCA ribbons? I recall singing through a real...

    Ball end mandocello strings

    Anyone know where I can find some? It's an elaborate procedure to get the regular loop end ones to work on my Ovation mandocello.

    Any ideas on how to mic an archtop guitar?

    I'm going to try my old '38 Gibson L-50 as a rhythm guitar on a few songs in the next couple of days and I'm wondering if anyone has some tips on mic placement. Past attempts haven't sounded all that well. I've got small and large diaphram condensers and would prefer to use one mic. The...

    Sound Forge cutting out

    I'm wondering if this is happening to anyone else. When I'm processing a group of songs in Sound Forge 5.0 occasionally I'll get a situation where it chops small portions of the tracks making the song unusable. I record on a Tascam 788 and import at 24bit to Sound Forge after defragging and...

    How valid are a/b comparisons?

    I wonder sometimes. In the case of two very similar mics in the same price range it makes sense. But so many of the treads I've seen ask: 'what's the best vocal mic for $200' or 'what will make my guitar sound like it should'. That's not an easy answer. I've been a home recording...
