That's okay, I haven't even listened the song. I just wanted to make sure it was the Marshall you were talking about.

Semantics windowman - In your last post, was the "57" used in the recording the Marshall MX57 or the Shure SM57? It seems like the Marshall, but it's a bit of a syntactical conundrum. vox - Ah. I thought you might have been saying that the 603s was not good for louder instruments. If I can...

Yes. Is the quality on the EV Cobalt series good? I saw the Co-4 and Co-7 the last time I was looking at microphones, but figured they were lower-end than the Shure microphones. The Sennheiser looks good, and affordable. Is it an all-purpose or vocal microphone? I had been considering a...

FYI I asked Shure a question, and it's now actually listed in their FAQ section: Using the SM58 without the ball grill Good response time from the company, too. :) vox - I have phantom power, but one of the things I may want to mic in the future is electric guitar, so it looks like the...

Actually... Falling into the "why don't you check out the company FAQs first" category... :p Can I use the SM58 for my guitar amp? and SM57 vs. SM58 Research, people, research! ;) (Of course, I'd still like to know the SPL rating(s)...) P.S. - does anyone know if the Shure 75th...

I'd heard that before, I think in another post. So the SM58 is an SM57 with a wire ball? Can you actually remove the wire ball and use the SM58 as you would an SM57? Also, can you buy an SM57 and a replacement SM58 ball, and use them together? The latter seems unlikely, as the microphone...

I'm planning to pick up a microphone for a home recording solution I'm putting together. The primary use for the microphone, at least initially, will be vocals. However, I may eventually want to use it for other applications. The two microphones I'm presently considering are the Shure SM57...

That's what I thought. And yes, strat type style: My terminology glitch was "Telecaster-style". When I mentioned it, I was actually thinking of the Guild guitar that you mentioned before. :p The configuration of the knobs and switch on the Dean is almost exactly the same as the Vantage...

Re: Thanks for the review No problem - glad I could help.

DH/4K, but wrong body shape. DH/4K, but this is exactly what I see all the time - the classic guitar look. Once again, wrong body shape. A really good example of the style I prefer is the Ibanez JS100. In fact, jrlemonz, that guitar is the Satriani I tried, not another Ibanez model. The...

Trust me, I didn't harbor any illusions that I had a rare, one-of-a-kind classic collector's item, especially considering it cost me $179 used. However, finding all of those features new with the body style that I like has just not happened, so I wanted to see if there was anything out there...

Electronic Musician article By the way, excellent article on piano microphone placement, Harvey. It pretty much covered the information I was looking for. Thanks. :)

Hmm... haven't seen it anywhere. Double humbucker, yes. Volume and tone knobs for each pickup, no. I figured that's what pulling the switch out did, since the humbuckers always have two coils and regular pickups only have one. Makes sense. On the Avenger, the pull-out is actually in the...

My present guitar is an old Vantage Avenger I picked up used at a local music shop a while back. It's a great guitar. I've been glancing at guitars off and on recently, and have noticed that nothing out there seems to offer the same configuration as the Avenger. FEATURE 1: Double-humbucker...

F.Y.I. - I recently picked up a stick of SDRAM for someone else's 5000-series (recent, new) Compaq Presario from a third-party vendor, and so far there haven't been any problems. The trick was to get the Compaq OEM part number, which could then be used to locate compatible memory. Of course it...

I don't know as I'd call it "user-friendly", especially the pages that describe the effects arrays. I usually start getting that "lost" feeling when looking at the effect diagrams, as they resemble blueprints for a space shuttle. However, I wouldn't say it was written in pig latin, either...

Alesis QS7.1 review (such as it is) Someone wants my opinion on a synthesizer? Talk about the flip side of the coin... ;) First, let me qualify this review with the fact that I have thus far only really listened to the output of the synth through inexpensive headphones and computer speakers...

Re: Did i win yet Depends on how high Lucid sets the MSRP. ;) "Who Wants to Be a Converter-aire!" :D

Frank_1 is using the little-known, ancient "whiney orangutan" technique. The origins of this technique - a special meditation designed to improve one's luck in converter naming competitions - are shrouded in mystery. This is most likely due to the fact that the technique doesn't really exist. ;)

I think you fielded a couple of questions about pianos at one point in this thread, but I don't think you've done a section on them yet. Excellent. Looking forward to it. :) Which issue was the article in? I'm guessing that several participants in this thread (including Chris F) would be...
