I went in for a hernia operation in December 2012. There were complications from the anesthetic, and I was laid up for a month in ICU. During that time I was fitted with a trache tube, which I had for about a month. I figured it would take some time to recover my singing voice, and my low end...

Finally got it going, it took some looking since m audio's forum is DOA since they changed ownership. Now I won't kick myself for not getting the seller's mandolin instead.

Oh, yeah. Also found out it's the original axiom 25, so I'm going to have to program it. No presets for Logic or GarageBand, but I was able to get Enigma on this computer, guess that's why it was $20.00. Still has aftertouch, though.

I picked up an Axiom 25 v2 at a yard sale today. It powers up and the display works along with the editing buttons, but my macs don't recognize it other than Audio and Midi Utility (10.6.8 and 10.5.8). This is supposed to be p-n-p, but I'm getting no sound. I also did the Factory Reset. Any...

If you can get it shimmed fairly tight, either hide glue or Titebond will work. That reminds me I need to fix my Harmony 12 string, which needs a neck reset AND a new trussrod.

Nice to pick up a project guitar without spending a ton of money. A couple years ago I found a Squier that'd had a similar paint job sticking out of a trash can in the local student ghetto. The body was split, but the neck was still good--and 22 frets. Upgraded one of my other Squiers with just...

I mostly buy used, but I'm in a buyer's market (college town). I did buy a new Epiphone LP Special P90 last month--$104.00 shipped, a little set up work, and it's fine. Wait a couple weeks, check Amazon--gig bag, $8.00. There you go.

Might sound a little different, but probably not much. Once you get up in that pitch range, it takes something pretty radical to change things much.

I just upgraded from Express 8 to Express 9 by buying it open box on Amazon for $27.00 shipped. I got the sealed package with book, never been opened. I mainly wanted to go 64 bit, but the improved guitar amps and pedals and Flextime were gravy. And $27.00 is pretty damn cheap!

Your best bet would be a somewhat older receiver or integrated amp--Unfortunately the ebay speculators have glommed on to these now and the prices are going up. I got an '80's receiver at a thrift store about a month ago and it works pretty well, 100 w/ch. gives lots of headroom with my speakers...

Oh the iO2 express works and sounds good, just have a hard time getting latency down in win7. I spent a good bit of time looking for proper drivers with no luck. Now I have a 2010 mac mini and FireBox so basically forget the laptop for recording (or anything else, unless I'm going someplace...

I'd go with the Tascam (especially pre gibson, lol). I bought the Alesis to use with my laptop and found out Alesis was too cheap to write drivers for their equipment--they think you should be happy with ASIO4all. The iO2 express works fine with Core Audio, unfortunately the laptop is a Toshiba...

I have a bunch of stuff I probably won't use on my old G4, but most of it was free, lol. I'm being a little more picky with the new mac. Just start with simple stuff to get a feel for your rig--you don't need to write a symphony first thing.

I use a KeyRig 49 with my plug ins, not the best keyboard, but cheap and portable. Works with everything I've tried it on so far.

You might get lucky using those pups on a different bass--trying to track down a 50 year old bass to match the pickguard might be more trouble than you want to persue.

I have a Digitech RP-150 that has a bass simulator, but every bass I've ever owned was less than $50.00.

I saw the old pope using an AKG D1000--I've got one of those.

I ended up getting Logic Express 8 as an open box sale at Amazon ($52.00) to go with my mac mini. Handy to be able to use GarageBand as a sketchpad than move into Logic. Pretty cool what you can find poking around in Amazon's back corners.

That's how I get by with my ancient TR-505--hook it up and run the midi into GarageBand or whatever. Decent sounding drums, and you can chain patterns together for 5/4, 7/4, etc. And the crappy 8 bit sounds are still there if I want to do something goofy.

If you don't mind used, just keep an eye on craigslist the next few weeks, lots of stuff goes cheap around the holidays. Some sort of P-Bass would be a good start, I've got an old Cort I've had for years. Still works fine.
