Alright, I'll be the odd duck here. On my '64 Strat (big frets) I use Dean Markley Jazz - 12 to 56 (wound G to boot). Not for everybody but what a sound. ;) Occasionally I will exchange the wound 26 for a plain 20.

Ah, yes. The good ole days of concert rock. I saw Sabbatha as well at Cobo Hall in Detroit and was surprised at how quiet they were. Zeppelin was really sloppy. Yes sounded amazing. Deep Purple rocked as did J.Geils. Loudest show ever.........Johnny Winter at the Gardens in London, Ontario. My...

If you could clarify what you mean by these two terms, we might be able to help you. Do you mean flat picking and finger picking? :confused:

Los Lobos- "Viking"

I'm with reggaesoldier on this. Whatever works. Fart around and have some fun.I have had success with the following: BTW I'm an analog guy but this stuff will work with DAW's -Sans Amp -digiTech Valve 8 - condenser mike right on the cone of JBL E140 (SWR head) -Dynamic mike " " "...

Depending on what model you have, the cabling might need modifying. My 5050 8 track uses this configuration for XLR to 1/4" or RCA: the XLR connections are as follows: pin 3 = signal hot----------------------------------to tip pin 2 = no connection----------------------------- no connection...

I would love to learn how to do this for my 3440 and my Otari 5050 - 8track. Up till now I have just used them as they are (they are baised for 456) and left it at that. I sometimes wonder if wouldn't get better results if I aligned and tensioned my decks. Not that I am disappointed with my...

MXR Dyna-Comp Stomp on it and I can hold a note till they cut my Hydro. ("Hydro" - Canadianspeak for electricity) :D

"La Bamba" by Los Lobos Danelectro Bari. Excellent. :D

TEAC 3440 and Otari MX5050 MkIII 8 track- both for $150 CDN '64 Strat- $300 CDN '65 Tele- $225 CDN plus tons of free stuff.

My guess is someone just put those strings on it cause they like it. String it the way you like it. BTW that is one hot looking axe. I love the Art Deco motif and that case is pure vodoo. :D

Could you clarify this part. Which tracks .......the old ones ......the new bounces? Also what do you mean by muddled. Distorted, No highs, Low level, try to be as specific as you can and we'll be able to help you better. Just quickly, are your heads really clean and de-maged?

Montreal around 1964. Went with parents to a music store and came out with a Hofner arch top acoustic. Wish I still had it.

I've got some beaters and some gems. I have had some great luck recording a cheap Made in Finland Espana. It sounds like an old small body Gibson. I got it for free. I still like my Martin D-18.

:D :D :D :D There is a music store in in this area that has a huge sign that reads: Songs Not Allowed To Be Played In This Store: 1. Stairway To Heaven 2. Sweet Home Alabama 3. (etc. etc.)

Ha! What a hoser I can be. A Juno is the Canadian equivalent of a Grammy. That mike selection knocks the shit out of mine. I'd go with BRDTS and do the analog to ProTools route if you want to put out some product. :D

Is it one of those transparent flapper switches?

Try lifting the ground on the stagg.

I use an Otari 5050 8 track and have had pretty good luck with recording all 8 tracks and then transfering them to my blackface aDat. I then mix that down to 2 or 3 or whatever back on the Otari. I also go from all 4 tracks of my 3440 to the aDat or the Otari. Whatever I'm in the mood for. Then...

If it was me, I'd have that baby in pieces before you could say "Yeah, Baby!". I'm going to give you some some really, really basic advice that I could have have used when I first got in this analog rescue game. Clean, Clean, Clean. Get the canned air and Caig De-oxit and start cleaning. I mean...
