Heck, you could do what I did - go to Ebay, find a Tascam MKII 4 track which is "in-the-box" new, and pick it up for around $300. Mine works great, it fun to use, and is just complicated enough goad you into learning the proper way to make multi-track recordings. If you buy the MKIII new, your...

Wow, now this is a thread! OK, here's to making it simple: 3 Steps. 1) First determine why you want to learn to play guitar? To make money? - quit right now. To get girls? - quit right now and break the guitar - you don't want that kind of woman. For your own satisfaction? YES - we have a...

Seeing as how the strings were formed from a single silicon crystal, I don't know if you would pluck them without breaking them. Seems like they would be tapped, more like a xylophone - or Stanley Jordan on a on an ES 335. There's an incredible marketing opportunity here - offer to inject the...

It's amazing what you can do with a digital camera and Photoshop...

Its ok to be a lunatic, as long as you stay on the path...

Yes Reco, I agree with S8-N: to be the next Trent, you'd have to get busy with Courtney. However you'd also have to master a uniquely fatalistic view of life, buy a haunted mansion in New Orleans, make videos completely hammered, hit your drummer over the head with a mic stand, get lots of good...

Hey Ed, I was telling a friend of mine (a fellow musician who's a cop) about your mobile recording unit, and he said that one of the local TV stations had a remote unit stolen from out back of their studio a few years ago. They estimated the loss at $370k! When they found the van, everything...

I tried to get 007 on my license plates, but somebody else in the state of Texas already had it - can you believe that? Anywho, I cruised around your site and found no guitars (except a bass head peaking into a couple of pictures) I LOVE sick guitars - healthy guitars are prissy and don't want...

Thanks for all the replies, everyone. I usually wouldn't consider buying anything sight unseen, but I have always heard good things about Carvins, except for the fact that they tend to be somewhat light on the tone (and light on the weight). But everyone keeps saying that this Holdsworth model...

Does any have (or have played) the Carvin Allan Holdsworth signature guitar? It reads like a great instrument, but I wouldn't want to buy one direct without a test run or a sparkling referral. I understand he (Holdsworth) drove the Carvin guys nuts for years before they came up with something...

Thanks Ledhed! AMS had everything I was looking for, cheap. In fact, they pretty much have everything - including a '57 gold top Les Paul for $4,405. That's the cheapest I've seen.

I wouldn't worry too much about Rick Dees. I have a feeling he's probably a pretty normal guy, who springs out of bed in the morning for fear of poverty (just like the rest of us), goes to work, and pretty much does exactly what he's told, to hang on to his tenous position in a very fickle...

I don't have a webpage, but my ISP gives all subscribers webspace to post files and images. As I understand, most ISP's give their people as least a couple mg's to make a home page. I was able to post my pix by getting the html address to the space alotted, and then uploading the pix via an FTP...

Sorry about the rant, Ed - it's that dadgummed realist in me coming out again. I guess I just wanted anyone seriously considering building their studio from the ground up, to go in eyes wide open :) There is a great idea there, though. Especially in that you could build it up slowly, starting...

Excellent post Slackmaster2K! I'm broke, but still learned alot!

With all the registered members, you'd think this page would be jam-packed with pix of wall-to-wall gear! It's cool if you don't have a digital camera - if you ask, most film developing places (Fox, not Eckerd's) will give you a "picture disk" with your photos already set up as .JPG files. You...

I was just going back through all the guy's studios, and I'm still impressed by how organized (and fully stocked) this one is. If you get a chance, post some pix of your axes!

I can't stand it - I have to comment on the shipping container question. I don't dispute that they may be a good idea. I do, however question what kind of economy these would provide. I would feel bad if someone on this site went out and spent hard earned cash on these, only to be shocked by the...

Yea yea yea... and back in the old days the engineers had to knock all the snow off the 58's so you could still sing through them. I bet that's why they invented those little pantyhose hoops in front of the mics :) I do agree that the equipment maker's have made it awfully easy for the...

Hey fellas! For those computer-challenged guys out there: take heart! Due to my profession, I've been forced to become quite computer literate over the last ten years. But I purposely chose to use analog gear for two reasons: 1) I fiddled with recording to computer, and in the final analysis...
