Where ? How much ?

The Precision (P-Bass) has a humbucking design. (from 1957 on) Two single coils mounted side-by-side, with their coils wound in opposite directions and one of the two magnets reversed. That design cancels out any 60-cycle hum. Most stock Fender Jazz Basses have single coil pickups. When...

For $200-250 you should buy a passive. A used Fender Standard Jazz Bass or Precision Bass would be excellent. If you could find a used Yamaha BBN4 that could be good too.

Grace 101 $550 Rode NTK $500 FMR RNC 1773 compressor $180 You can easily spend more than that, but the laws of deminishing returns starts applying. The market is flooded with gear right now and we could easily suggest dozens of great preamp and mic combinations. You can...

Amped- sounds thin and like it's coming out of a cheap transister radio. POD- more balls and depth. I like it's sound the best of the two examples.

Those links aren't working for me. :confused:

A condenser is a type of microphone, commonly used in a studio. There are some good articles describing how they work and their applications at www.studiocovers.com Look at the Microphone section. Do you need one ? Maybe. Probably. :D They are good for recording vocals...

Good reverb and effects units- Lexicon MPX-1 $630 Lexicon MPX-550 TC Electronic M2000 $700 TC Electronic M-One $290 (I got those prices at www.8thstreet.com ) I would consider the MPX-1 and M2000 with your budget.

The ES system has had very mixed reviews on the Taylor Forum. I haven't tried it and I'm not in the market for something like that, but I was very surprised by how many people didn't like the ES. I bought the DVD "David Gilmour-Live in Concert". They are playing some Taylor's (it's...

I'm not good at playing solo guitar, so I don't need a sound that captures the whole instrument, from the deep lows to the brilliant highs. I just need a sound that captures enough of the steel-string sound to fit it into the mix without getting buried by other mid-range instruments...

It's extremely common to use opto compressors on bass and guitar, the Telectronix LA-2A is probably the greatest example of a classic that has been used on recordings for decades. F.E.T and VCA designs are popular too, dbx, 1776, Empirical Labs Distressor, etc. So I can't say an optical...

The Joe Meek compressors are photo-optical, and the RNC is a VCA (voltage controlled amplifier) compressor. You might find some good info about compressors at www.studiocovers.com Optical compressors tend to color the sound and can make it sound fatter and fuller. VCA compressors are...

A guitar amp is more midrange oriented, with the highs rolled off. A guitar amp is also designed to "color" and "distort" the sound, where as a keyboard amp just tries to cleanly reproduce the more extreme highs and lows of an electronic keyboard. Using the J-Station with a keyboard amp...

Some of the best Hamers I've played are the Artist, Monaco, and Studio. Most of their guitars have excellent pickups designed by Seymour Duncan, even on their budget lines. Too bad they are so difficult to find. Gibson vs. Hamer ? That's complicated, but I will say the price...

Do you want it for studio or playing gigs ?

The Johnson J-Station also has bass amp modeling. You can find reviews of the Bass POD and J-Station at www.sospubs.co.uk
