Not so clear cut "USA made VS overseas's made...simple enough? correct me if im wrong" I do not think it is so clearcut as that. I'm pretty sure there is plenty of overseas content in many models of guitar that carry the Gibson logo - both individual parts and likely also some sub-assemblies...

Glad I Asked Thanks for the info dragonworks, Sorry to hear you have that problem. It makes me extremely wary of buying any pre-routed body of any kind from him, especially since there is no store where I can just walk in and put his body down next to a Fender and show them the problem. Do...

Hi Dragonworks, How's the project going? Wondered what you thought about the quality of the body that you purchased. I have been corresponding with Marcio in Brazil about doing some custom bodies for me since I have not had any of his work in my hands yet, I was hoping you could give me some...

Choices Of those two choices, I say get a Gibson if you can swing it. I have not heard the best things about the durability of some Epis. If you are not 100% married to the Gibson family sound but like the V look....and If you can stand the headstock, I would also try playing a Dean V. They...

Gotta admit it looks cool. Maybe it was used to probe someone in a 1950s space alien movie...though Sure would never admit it. ;) http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=22670&item=7323322633&rd=1 Peace

A few questions Hi folks, Question one: How does the SG Classic as sold by MF compare with the Pete Townsend Signature (production NOT custom shop). I have some experience with the Pete but have never played the Classic. Question two: Anyone have any experience with these inexpensive...

versitility I think there have been many good choices mentioned. Many of the guitars sold under the Fender, Squier, Ibanez and Washburn names would be a good choice and I have owned all but Ibanez (though I have played Ibanez guitars over the years and lusted after a few). Since you are just...

Think about it That darned The Engineer guy. What a homophobe. Seriously, please be more creative and find a way to put the guy down that does not demean 10% of the population. Peace

Hi Carl, Has he ever tried an Axon, maybe with a guitar that has a piezo pickup. This combo has been used by some top people including John McLaughlin. http://www.musicindustries.com/axon/ I, OTOH, am such a crappy player, that I will settle for the limitations of my GR-30/GK-2A for the...

Another possibility If you don't mind a foot controller, the Behringer FCB1010, has a bunch of switches and two continuous controllers. It has bank switching so you can program a huge number of combinations. I believe that each switch can be programmed to issue a sequence of midi program...

Some folks really like these Bill Lawrence pickups I happen to like some of the Carvin pickups I have tried on friends and shop guitars but have had enough noise problems that I am considering replacing my single coils with these noisefree pickups from Bill Lawrence. They have a few models for...

One other thing Hi Natty Dread, What mshilarious said are definately the first things to check IMO, especially the levels and gain staging. mshilarious mentions room noise but I think one thing to be very careful about is the proximity and position of the computer itself and the monitor...

Maybe Cad? I have no experience with them but the CAD E100 and E200 look interesting and can use battery power. Does anyone out there have any experience with these?

oops I missed the part about the dma box *unchecking* itself - not enouth sleep. Have to agree with Jim Y in this case too. Still may want to interleave you files later but that is another issue. Sorry.

I think it is an interleave problem I think that the process of copying your files over to the new drive deinterleaved them. To achieve good multitrack performance out of your hard drive, you do not want each file stored on a sequential section of disk. It causes too many disk head seek...

The worst part The worst part is that they charge a 25% restocking fee on returns.

Don't forget ESP I have played a number of Fender and Squier teles that I have enjoyed but I would also suggest trying out clones made by ESP. I almost bought a used ESP tele clone a few years back. It played nicely and had the most amazing sound. I was strapped at the time so I didn't end up...

Balls of Steel Well, I don't have "BALLS OF STEEL" but I do handle around 1000 calls a night at a local call center. Usually 60-75% cold calls so I know rejection well. You can imagine the details - swearing, air horns in the ear, people pretending to be interested in order to yank ones chain...

Can't be sure but... I can't say from knowledge one way or another if Marshall made any cost cutting changes to their design but I can say that pointing to a price decrease as evidence doesn't really mean anything. I have spent over 25 years in the electronic product development and...

Stuff in the Center When doing the phase inversion trick, you almost always have to add a huge bass boost after adding the two tracks together. This is because most recordings have the bass panned near dead center. The bass boost is a feature that YoGen vocal remover software uses but you...
