Yup...I know no one cares much...and this topic is sorta boring but I'm doing an update. I changed the Grover tuner knobs from the solid metal type (fair amount of total weight) to some nice looking plastic pearloid looking knobs. They match the pearloid fret markers. I bought some stick-on...

Hey Marco62......I'm not trying to worry you or give you reason to doubt your purchase but you mentioned that you bought the DP-24 used. I have a DP-24 that I used for many years before going to a DAW. These days I use the DP-24 as a mixer. Over the years the buttons on the DP-24 have...

Don't get too agitated Dave. I agree with your diagnosis.

Hey Marco62.....I have a Tascam DP-24. I used it for a number of years until I went to a DAW. The one thing I can tell you is....the manual is written in a confusing way with confusing teminolgy......and I had plenty of previous recording knowledge. So...as Talismanrich mentioned...Google...

Well Dr......if you're going to do any decent mixing....those speakers are probably not going to work well for you in that room...or any room really. Given your budget crunch I suggest that you save up for some monitors that might do the job. It's MUCH better to wait and buy worthy equipment...

For a long time I at least THOUGHT I could tell a Ric 4001 sound and a Ric 325 sound in a recording. These days....you can make lots of things sound like other things. Mick

Hey....glad to have you here! Go ahead and ask anything you want to know. Lots of great knowledge here! I might have missed it but what will you be using for monitors? Mick

Update....the tail piece on Derek Trucks SG weighs a half pound....8.5 ounces. I'll bet that lessens some of the neck dive. My SG came with Grovers with metal knobs. I might change the knobs to plasitc pearl whites to take a lttle weight off. That's more like the classic SG look to me...

They might be costly but the T-top humbuckers on my '76 LP are very bright and clear with great tone. I know...sounds strange but its true. Not sure of any generic that is equal. Maybe there is though. Mick

Yeah...I get it. I'm beginning to think that a persons body / stomach shape has a lot to do with the forward flop issue. As for the neck dive....trust me...this one does but I've got a nice wide leather strap on the way. Problem solved I think! Mick

As I mentioned....my main issue was forward body flop. I solved that.....but going to an "old style" strap connection up by the nut is not a bad idea for neck dive AND body flop. Thanks!

Ohhhhhh....no! No way!! That's quite a contraption....ugly but probably functional. I did see how the Tony Iommi models have the button on the tip of the horn....and I thought about doing that. I finally decided on a compromise position on the BACK of the horn tip where there was far more...

I got it used for $150. I think I'll keep it. I like the way it sounds and the scale. I can use it for recording mostly. It won't replace my Strat or 1976 Gibson LP Custom by any means.

YES....YES....there are TONS of SM58 fakes out there....especially on Ebay. For the cost of a new original....it's not worth cheaping out on this most important item in your studio. BUYER BEWARE!!!

Well.....I decided to relocate my neck strap button from the bottom of the neck to the back of the upper horn tip. I used a pic of the back of a Gibson SG High Performance as a guide to place the button. That pretty much did solve my problem with the body tipping forward and it's a lot easier...

Thanks for the info about the leather strap for the neck dive. I never knew that. Love the Guild S100 by the way. I'll try that...but as I mentioned my only real issue is how the body tips / flops forward...which is very noticable and awkward for me. It affects the position of my left...

I just bought a used Epiphone SG G400. I never owned an SG before or even ever played one....not even in a music store...for some reason. I noticed that it's neck heavy (neck dive). That's not a big deal for me as I have another guitar that does the same thing. What I really didn't like was...

Yeah....what ^^^^he said ^^^. A room within a room is the only way to even get close to the type of sound proofing you're talking about if the music is going to have any above normal db levels....especially if you truly mean no sound coming out. It is possible to really cut down on the leaking...

Sorry...gotta bump this. I need some specifics about what you guys use in rehearsal...etc. Thanks.

Thank you for that sir. I too don't like stuff stuck in my ear. I tried a set of hearing blockers used for gun range shooting. The sound was not usable really. I'm a guitar player and couldn't hear the upper frequencies of my Strat....totally killing tone perception. Mick
