Just thought I'd chime in with a little love for Charles Thompson (aka Black Francis, Frank Black) since we're on that eighties vibe here. He has a very unique approach to songwriting on the guitar, and is probably one of the most influential guitarists of the past twenty years. This ain't the...

I've got an Ibanez AS80 with flatwound 11s on and I love it. You can get a lot of different tones out of it, from jazz box to almost Les Paul type sounds. I picked it up for $425 USD on Ebay. The AS80 is the same guitar as the AS120, except the 120 has block inlays and gold hardware.

You guys are over my head in electro-speak, but here's my info in case it helps. Amp: '69 Fender Super Bassman (100W RMS into 4 Ohms) Next to the convenience plug on the back, it says 200 watts max, 117 volts, 60 Hz. Next to the ground polarity switch, it says 2.7 amps, 117 volts, 60 Hz. It...

NO! Despite your good advice, profane analogies like this one cannot be tolerated! Oh crap, analogies has anal in it. I have to go smite myself now. Carry on.

As far as finding a reputable online retailer, I recommend www.newegg.com. I built a system about six months ago and I bought almost everything from them. Everything came well packaged and worked out of the box. They are pretty well regarded generally. You may have some issues getting things...

Are you German!?

I can't speak for the Soyo specifically, but the Abit I'm using is based on the same chipset, and I have no issues with my 1010.

Geez!!! Are you running freakin' SETI@home in the background too!?

I kind of thought it sounded like a HD buffering issue, but I had that problem with N-track before and the final mixdown was never affected. Are the pops still there if you mix down to .WAV without playing the song? It kind of sounds like the play and record buttons on your N-track are dirty...

You gotta give it awhile. The site's been kinda flakey lately. I'm running a Delta 1010 and an XP1800 on an Abit KR7-133A mobo, which is based on the VIA 266A chipset. I haven't had any problems, but VIA has had a reputation of instability in the past. They may have turned it around, but...

I don't know where you guys are getting a set of bass strings for eight bucks, but hook me up! I never find 'em for less than $25, and a lot of the time it's more like $40. I've done this dozens of times. I add about 1/4 white vinegar and boil 'em for about 5 minutes. It will make dead...

Sooo.... are you saying you used three mics? :D Just messing with you. :)

Yeah, I usually just make a scratch drum track with Fruity Loops and import it into n-Track, so I don't have to deal with the metro-gnome

The 1010LT also has built in mic pres I think. But if you have a nice mixer that won't matter. The breakout box is supposed to eliminate some noise by getting the A/D and D/A converters out of your computer. I don't know if the difference is perceptable or not. I would imagine that with...

My XP1800 runs between 45-55C.

These guys have a very good reputation as makers of gaming computers. Although some people have had problems with them. One possible drawback is that it takes them up to a month to build your system and ship it out to you. Most of the complaints that I have heard about them are related to the...

Check this out: www.vgmusic.com They have all kinds of C64 music on there. There's a local radio show here that plays C64 songs from video games once a week. It's awesome.

I believe the word you are looking for is "swing." :D

You're a good guy Chris. :)

My favorite moment with my Behringer mixer will be when I replace it. :)
