beware the noise (single coils can get annoying that way). I got some noiseless jobbies from kinman, and am waiting for them to arrive. If you record at all at home (errr... this is homerecording.com, right?), then you may be doing so with a computer. If so, then the buzzes and hums will...

I've got a '99 Limited Edition Epiphone LP Standard (I think I got it for $500). I am going to put better pups in there, but it is a very nice guitar and to my sense feels about the same as contemporary Gibson LPs. Since you mentioned a telecaster, I also have an Hecho En Mexico Standard...

I've played one of those Taylor Big Babys and they feel/play/sound really really good (IMO). I am actually eying one up at the local Sam Ash (thank God my hometown got a decent music store in the wake of Mars). J-

Thanks for the input Aaron! I am just a "bedroom" home-recorder, so I suppose I am really interested in the hum elimination. I am also willing to go "big time" to get both hum-cancellation AND great tone. I know this is a tall order and represents a degree of compromise by the nature of...

Any single-coilers in the house? J-

Hi, I recently posted here concerning buzz/hum etc. in my MIM Tele (thanks for replies in that thread!). I like this instrument and it sounds good through my POD (I have nothing else at the moment... anyone recommend a decent small amp?) save for the God-awful and incessant buzz.hum. Now, the...

Looks just like the Geddy Lee Special I bought last year! J-

Thanks again all, I have followed the link and I am checking it out now. I also did a little of my own research and found this guy: http://www.kinman.com/ The stuff looks cool, but a set of Tele pups is pretty damned close to the cost of my MIM tele!!! Anyone heard of kinman or used the...

thanks for reply, I should be clear that the most annoying of the interferance and buzzy/hums are eliminated WHEN I touch the plate holding the volume and tone knobs (This includes touching the knobs themselves). My house is on the smaller side and my room must accomodate my computers and...

Hi, I picked up a MIM telecaster in March (which is a solid instrument for the price) and am really enjoying it while I can. The stock single-coils sound nice enough to me but this guitar is a buzzy and noisy monster. I have to turn off nearly all the lights to stop the buzz, BUT! I also have...

Your descriptions sound more like RAM then HD space. If you describe the particulars of your machine: Operating System Processor (CPU) type and speed amount of RAM (even FSB speed would help) Motherboard make/model number of Hard Drives, etc. In short, I can tell you that a ZIP will do...

feedback from a non rap-oriented listener Hey, I never visit here, so I thought I'd check things out. I have noticed that the best rap records not only have great beats and a rapper with a great style, but that the songs had structure. Neither 'smooth' or 'pants' give a real sense of song...

Re: stones I always had this opinion whilst growing up and learning to play drums myself. Later on, I'm told that this technique is related to recording. Apparently the snare will cut through better if it is not competing with other sounds (especially the frequency range of the HH). I...

feedback sustain for someone with no amp? I only use the POD. I have thought about a small amp so that I could mike the POD and the amp, but I am not sure if it is worth the money (thought of getting a Tech 21 10 thing). Are there ANY options for getting feedback sustain? I gather from this...

I'll put in a vote for Lifeson "Limelight" - Alex Lifeson (Moving Pictures 1981) Nothing to do with chops at all, it just always moved me for some reason, lots of trickery really, but I always like how the high-pitched harmonics-squel thing blends and fades into some arpeggios... J-

Ditto I'll give a Ditto on the Samsung... low interferance for me with my 15" TFT Samsung as well. J-

nice job bleyrad Hey Bley, wanted to give you a thumbs up for both of your recordings. The Jazz sounds great. Appleton has a great sound (hear the Weez influence) and I think that is a well-composed song (and well-recorded). Thanks for sharing man. After the MOTU 1224, what were you...

Lyle workman was one of them... I got to see him in support of that tour in D.C. in '96. Lyle workman was a very good guitar player with good tone. Frank Black could write a good song now and again. J-
