    Peavey Windsor Head worth the $$?

    I'd bet not. since the classic 30 head is More than twice as mucyh: http://guitars.musiciansfriend.com/product/Peavey-Classic-30-Head-Tube-Amp-?sku=481019 Did they change the classic 50? It says the 212 is $850. I paid $400 for mine as B-stock just a few years ago. It was worth that. I...

    another one for Muttley or Light

    I agree completely and often just take a handful of sand and rub it over the length of the fretboard. In a pinch I use whatever is in the vacuum cleaner bag as it has been filtered down to fine particulate. When you force grit into the pores of the wood, you no longer have to worry about the...

    Acoustic guitars and humidity

    I haven't been around in a while. I know there are a few luthiers that hang out and I am in a bit of a pickle. I have a Gallagher doc watson that I bought used. This guitar has had a rough life, but it play(ed) great and is loud as a cannon. A few weeks ago, I went away for the weekend and...

    Short-Scale Tele or Strat Conversion Necks

    I put 11s on my epi hollow body and the tension seems much closer to my strats with 10s now. I hated the short scale with 10s.

    Replacing saddles

    Put heavier strings on it. There's nothing that can't be fixed by heavier strings. That's why they make 'em.

    Guitar players learning drums

    for a non-drummer, I don't really think there's anything wrong with electronic kits. Except for acoustic hihat and snare with the rest being electonic. I have a yamaha midi converter and a remo practice pad set that I am going to make a hybrid kit out of. Back in the late 80s, the drummer for...

    Replacing saddles

    You can get a whole bridge pretty cheap from guitar fetish. Is it really worth putting good saddles on a crap bridge?

    Guitar players learning drums

    It is really hard to get real drums to sound decent. I think that is a huge part of being a good drummer. Alot of times I record a drum track, and then have to go back and enahance it with sampled snare and bass drum sounds. The hihat sounds better when i play it live. Espcially for a good...

    Zoom H4 live recordings

    Hey Dave. I got a new band together and have been putting together a more concise show together. I bought this H4 to record a demo for the band, but the results haven't really been stellar. I wonder if the reason they sound muddy is because of the high souond pressure. Anyway, I probably...

    Zoom H4 live recordings

    I bought this thing and have recorded several gigs. I have been trying to get them to sound at least a little better. they sound flat, so I use EQ to add some sizzle. They are also heavy in the low mids so I pulled some of those out. I normalize to 98% using CEP. What I would like to...

    MP3 versus WAV

    No, I was right. 24 bit sounds like it's supposed to. also, I was encoding MP3s using these defaults that were way shitty. Something to consider about placement and the H4 is that if you playing in a bar somewhere and you mix from stage, you can't just sit the thing anywhere or someone will...

    MP3 versus WAV

    I just realized that the reason this thing is not really producing good sounding recordings is that the default bit rate is 16 for each sampling rate. I am going to record wavs at 44.1/24 bit and see how those sound. the 16 bit ones sound like sh it.

    MP3 versus WAV

    MP3 versus WAV

    Maybe I have been wrong all along. I have always kept digital recordings as WAVs and only rendering them to MP3 for emailing and iPods, etc. The thinking was that since a WAV file is so much bigger than the MP3s, I assumed that the quality was higher. There was less data compression and...

    Do you sometimes jones to play your guitar?

    Whenever anyone plays that desert island game (what would you take with you), I have to say a stratocaster. I may have a different answer that I spew out at the time, but if I thought about it for any length of time, the answer I'd come up with is an electric guitar. And 100 packs of...

    Guitar wiring, what kind of wire?

    When I wired up the jambolin, I used automotive wire. I don't know what gauge it is, but it is way too big. that guitar sounds very different than any of my other stratty guitars. It sounds much fuller. and switching between guitars with my wireless, my jambolin makes the clip light flash...

    Unhappy with New Les Paul

    Are planet waves tuners taller than stock? If the place there the string exits the cut-off tuner is higher off the headstock than where a string comes off a post with a few winds on it, would that turn your decent guitar instantly shitty? I don't have an LP so I don't knof ig the headstock...

    Question for Light (or anyone) about a Les Paul and Bigsby

    Which Bigsby is no there? If it's a B6, I know someone who might want it. The B6 is the classic bigsby with no tension bar. The B7 has the tension bar. http://www.stewmac.com/shop/Bridges,_tailpieces/Bigsby_vibrato_tailpieces/Bigsby_Vibrato_Tailpieces.html
