I have the nanokontrol I, it works fine once you get it set up, Would be nice if they sold with more than two feet of cable.

I have a couple friends who live out by Holsten Lake, but I haven't been down there in about ten years. I kinda miss fishing in the lake, I had better luck down there. Don't worry too much about diversifying, you're still playing music from the same sphere of reference. Just look at the guys in...

Go ahead and work on piano, one of my biggest regrets is not learning it when I was a teenager. We had one, but it didn't spark my interest at the time, and I had my hands full with guitar, lol. Unless Abingdon's changed a lot in the last few years, there's probably no place to play classical...

I'd check amazon for availablity, a lot of times they'll have a few discontinued products laying around. At least m-audio updates their drivers.

That Amazon case has come down since I bought my DP-008. I ended up going to the Goodwill and buying a similar size case for $2.00 and cutting some stiff foam to fit around the unit inside the case--a little hot glue and "viola".

If you're really skittish, use those long Q-tips.

The bad thing is, somebody's still buying them. I saw a thread on another site where somebody was trying to get $225.00 for a one pup Teisco--the kind of guitar nobody would touch twenty years ago. Haven't these people played a Squier lately? I'm notoriously cheap, though. The last electric...

Hunter/Wagner. Fill in or stand in ?

Apparently on CL they're either "like new" or "vintage", you very seldom seem to see one that's been played. I did pick up a mim Tele a few years ago for $100.00, the guy that had it bought a silvertone guitar and amp case for $700.00 and was trying to cover it. Yes, i was able to keep from...

I had a pair of the Minimus 7s for a while, they weren't bad for what they were, as long as you didn't try to play them too loud. Thought about doing some of the mods, but found a pair of Paradigm Micro Monitors cheap and they seem to work much better in my room.

I had a C1, it came with the adapter, but no shockmount or filter. Not too bad for the price.

Since you've already had a violin bass, you know about them being neck heavy, although I had one back in the '80's that wasn't. If the Douglas looks that close, I'd go for that--it's not like Henry's going to send you an attaboy card.

I'd go with the Akai, myself--I got a nanoKontrol controller and a LPD8 to use with my laptop. The Akai feels much more solid. The Korg is OK because it's not getting played the way you would a keyboard.

That neck looks a lot like the neck on an Aria 335 copy I used to have. Those are nice even if they're bolt-ons. Now I have an Electra X290 from the mid '80's made in the same Matsumoku factory. Who needs a Gibson?

Or build a cabinet the size of the mesa if your smaller cab doesn't work out. The last cab I built ran me about $25.00 for materials for a 1x12 combo.

I picked up a BLOC 50G a couple weeks ago for $50.00--it's an amazing little amp, and it only weighs 20lbs. I have both tube and SS amps, but I don't have a set in stone preference. Different sounds for different applications.

Heavier electric strings can work on acoustic, John Renbourn has been using them for several years. Gibson used to sell their Mona Steel strings as acoustic/electric.

Audio/MIDI setup is in your Utilities folder. It needs to be put to rights before any MIDI will work. I have GB 08, but I'm moving to Reaper--it's much more efficient.

If I went that route, I'd use epoxy to fill the fret slots--you could even go so far as putting dye in the resin so you had fret markers. My own fretless started as a rescue from a trash can in the local student ghetto--a Peavey T-40 that some collegiate types had really screwed up, pulled the...
