    cheap guitars are better?

    I keep buying new guitars and I keep going back to my Epiphone Special II. I have put S.D. EVH pickups in it and new tuners so it isn't stock. But I do get looks when I'm playing that guitar and leaving the Les Paul, Strat and Charvel sitting behind me on the guitar rack. What can I say, I love...

    Worst solo ever.

    I thought he was a “one note genius.” And once again someone said Vai and Satch play with no emotion. I’ve got a quick observation: how many times do you hear professional vocal coach or vocalist say people like Luciano Pavarotti, Celine Dion, Mariah Carry and Stevie Nicks don’t sing with...

    Worst solo ever.

    I have to concur... instead of reaching for his blues roots Reid seems influenced by Vinny Vincent's "look at me I can play fast too" style that cursed the 80's.

    Variax - what do you honestly think?

    I tried the 500 model at the store this afternoon and the knobs kept falling off when I would switch guitars or volume. Yeah I know it's the floor model but sheesh.... :confused: I told the salesmen I was more interested in an American Strat and he showed me the 700 and said it was 27...

    Those $100 First Act guitars

    I saw that Buyers Guide. $1000.00 for a First Act? :eek: What's next a $100,000 Kia? This is just me but unless it really trumps a Gibson or Fender why waste the money when most people will say a lemon is a lemon no matter what you paid for it. Paul Stanley probably did want to retire after...

    Just got a POD XT! HELP?

    In Audition I have to record it 16 bit instead of 32 bit. For some reason it won't record 32 bit through the USB port, but Cubase may be different. I find the pre-sets a little too harsh and digital. I usually dial down the distortion and if need be use the tube overdrive to give it a little...

    Can you suggest me a new guitar in the $500 price range

    Good advice... After that find the guitars in your price range, find the one you like the sound best and melts like butter in your hands and buy it. Guitars are a personal decision that shouldn't be influenced by gear snobs and celebrity endorsements. If you like the Mexican Strat and can’t...

    Decals

    If you want a Gibson buy a Gibson. If you want to build a custom guitar, then build it. I don't get all this attachment to a name brand when it comes to guitars. The only people who in the audience who can tell the difference between a $500.00 Epiphone Les Paul and a $3000.00 Gibson are...

    Most Overrated/Overpriced Electric Guitars

    I believe you are correct sir.... There are plenty of artist who use single coil pickups in the studio but take their humbuckers on the road because they get a stronger tone.

    Not as good as his Martin... but thank goodness Paul wasn't a gear snob or one of the historic moments in rock and roll would have been missed.

    Why Line6 Sucks!!!

    Interesting.. I looked at the Variax 300 reviews online last night and most of them said that something broke down on them and they had to send them in for repairs and it's been months before they got them back. They said the only ones worth buying were the 700 series. But at $1200 a pop I...

    Behind the Scenes

    Aerosmith's "The Making of Pump" and Metalica's "A Year and 1/2" (part 1) are both interesting glimpse inside the creative process. A&E did specials on the making of "Just Push Play" & "Honkin' On Bobo" but I don't know if there on video yet. Both talked about how Pro Tools has changed the way...

    epiphone ej-200?

    I borrowed one for some recording. We couldn't believe the tone, not Martin like but very rich. Sounded better than the Ovation we were going to use.

    Most Overrated/Overpriced Electric Guitars

    Funny I read an article with the Los Loney Boy's Guitar player and he said his Strats are "plain old mexicans" with a little fretwork to handle the heavier stings. I looked carefully and low and behold, made in Mexico was on the headstock. Paul McCartney has also stated he doesn't pay...

    How Do You Tell A Drummer "You Suck"

    Just get some drum loops and tell him you had time constraints to deal with.

    help pic include.......

    looks alright to me, I've recorded vocalist that jumped all over the spetrum so I've seen worse. If there are too many peaks and valleys you might want to use the roll off switch (I did this on my KSM27 when vocalist were peaking too loud) or invest in a compressor. Again it's about the sound...
