    Adding veneer to my old bass

    Chili - If you want to do the project as an experiment...great. If you are doing it because you don't like the current appearance, I would just get a different body. You'll end up spending less in the long run. Example: Kurt @ Rondo Music Home Page frequently has bass bodies for very low...

    Solid bass amps for a rock band?

    Since you're on a budget, you might consider an older Peavey setup. They are under valued and built like a tank. Should fit in well with 60s & 70s stuff. I have several older Peavey guitar amps, but only one Peavey bass amp (Delta Bass), so I'm not particularly familiar with all the models (pros...

    When is it time for a fret job?

    Just try a level & re-crown job, unless the wear is extreme. Probably about $100 at most shops. If you have access to a good shop, it could make a world of difference in playability. I have even had new guitars leveled & re-crowned. Note: I'm referring to a level & re-crown of ALL frets, not...

    How many people here DON'T use pitch correction in there mixes?

    I suppose it would be useful when used as some have stated above, that is to correct a few sour notes here and there. Having said that though, there are so many recordings from the 60s-70s where pitch correction would have changed the whole character of the song, and in some cases the entire...

    On the subject of music composition - 9/15 Newsletter

    This was a great reminder regarding how to get out of the rut, or writer's block. But I would like to state that I somewhat disagree with the closing statement... "You might laugh and say why do I say “buy life experience”? Sounds like a video game. I say this because we have become very...

    Interactive Frequency Chart

    I got this on my Facebook page today and thought it might be useful here. If it has already been posted here somewhere, I apologize for the duplication. I searched "frequency charts" and only found some older posts, and noticed some helpful members were having to compose detailed posts in...

    Fostex D80 / 90 Hard discs

    D90 hard drives I realize this is an old post, but want to add the following for reference... Check on eBay for older IDE drives. I purchased several a few years ago (new old stock) and they work fine. I even found generic carriers, which worked fine except they protruded a little too far in...

    Chase lock issue - (2) Fostex D-90's

    Thanks to advise received from Cairns @ the Fostex.com forum...We have chase lock!! I read in the manual about recording a track on the master so the slave would have time code to chase, but I must have missed the part about doing the same on the slave, to lay down time code there as well. I...

    Chase lock issue - (2) Fostex D-90's

    After almost ruining my eyesight, and most assuredly suffering brain damage from trying to understand the manual... I am still having trouble acheiving chase lock between two D-90's. I can control the slave as far as arming tracks and can get a flashing record LED, flashing "chase" indicator...

    ADAT Blackface newbie

    Just a note...DO NOT use isopropyl rubbing alcohol!! Rubbing alcohol leaves a light oil residue. Anhydrous alcohol is recommended, but is difficule to find/acquire in small quantities. Analog tape head cleaner (Radio Shack) is the closest alternative I have been able to find. Also, the "swabs"...
