i have two distortion/overdrive pedals (not countin my zoom something-or-other with lots of little things to muck with): boss metal zone, which is very hard sounding, and requires a bit of tweaking to get the tone just right (i typically use it with my musicmaster amp with my cheapie alesis...

i guess i'm going to have to wait and see what i can fetch for my explorer and work from there. woverend, i LOVE wood-and-oil on guitars. i would redo most fender factory necks with just tung oil (and have on my musicmaster bass)-it just feels right to me, and i prefer the look to something...

what guitar sounds best to record with? the one you love.

i don't typically think of acoustics when i think of fender, but they know how to build guitars that don't break. i'd assume the playability is going to be good-most of the fenders i've played have had relatively easy (maybe too easy in some cases) necks, and were not especially big (good or bad...

i agree about GC in raleigh-i mean, the guys i spoke to there are far from real experts, but the ones i spoke to tried to be very helpful, and then just left me to screw around as long as i wanted. works for me. they all seemed to be happy to be there-musicians who were glad to be hanging out in...

take off the metal box :cool: seriously, though, any tube amp is going to be built in such a way as to make it not THAT difficult to take tubes out, especially from a company like fender, who knows what tubes are. is there some removable trimpiece around it? the metal box's screws could be...

i have extensive experience with only 2 epis- pr-7e: all-laminate electric acoustic. beautiful, with cherry (or is it flame?) burst bird's eye maple top. plays very easily, with a decent cutaway. tends to rattle kind of easily, but disassembly and reassembly with a little rubber cement takes...

if you want to make a lottery of it, i love cubase, though i don't own a copy :( i want it!

not only is G.E. smith the man, but he has a very tasteful collection of classic axes.

giganova, any idea how the sennheiser 441s would go for in the countries' ebay setups you mention? flatpicker, one word: lisencing. presumedly, beyer is quite happy offering their products at one controlled price through one dealer.

wow! thanks for all the input, guys! haven't made it by for about a week, and i didn't even know what i'd missed. i was pretty impressed with the MIM standard i played-this was at guitar satan, so the age of the strings probably had something to do with it. if i can tighten up those tuners, than...

i only do one-take tracks, generally. i run into much more trouble with error on my guitar tracks. of course, i'm lucky to have some music in my genes, so i don't know how that works for others.

i'd love that. anything that helps me be a better singer is well-received.

after playing for several years, i've decided that the look/size/weight of a telecaster is really what i'm shooting for (i'm going to be ditching my gibson explorer ('90 model-any inquiries welcome) for something that is less unwieldy and very fittable in a gig-bag, and i like the layout of the...

have you checked out this FAQ yet? http://www.londonpower.com/whichamp.htm

do you live in an area with a lot of humidity? i know that mexico has a lot of very dry areas, but i know there are some more swampy spots as well, and rainforest-type spots. my experience tells me that guitars left sitting out have oxidized strings much more quickly than ones sitting in cases...

this is what i get for posting while drunk. kinda like driving while drunk, only everyone in the community knows i've been a dolt straightaway. i could have chosen my sentiment better. my basic opinion is that a preamp, being a single stage in general, as opposed to many of the nice new...

i would personally rather have a preamp that has one great sound than one that iffily emulates lots of great sounds. i've heard some good-sounding emulating amps (believe it or not, i played through a crate 2x12 combo the other day that sounded great-don't know what it thought it was emulating...

if you can keep anything resembling a beat, by playing with a metronome or similar, you should be able to discipline yourself to it in time. being a solo acoustic/vocal musician largely, i find that slowing down and speeding up the song at the right times is actually beneficial, so it's not much...

the peanuts movies were my favorite holiday cartoons, to be certain. one day, i will have to get a good copy of them. any suggestions?
