    Please god no....

    Hey, so did I ! Nice case, isn't it ... And my PS was a PoS (piece of shit) that came with my previous case. Never again... and legionserial - check the bottom (circuit cards) of your hard drives. Mine had visible burn marks where IC's had blown out. May save you a trip to your buddy's place...

    Please god no....

    Exactly the same thing happened to me about 2 months ago. Even had flames shooting out the back of the power supply :eek: However, my motherboard wouldn't even POST. Dead as a doornail. I also lost 2 IDE drives, a CD drive, a video card, and a SB platinum card. Which pissed me off because I...

    recommend a quiet power supply

    I've got this: http://www.antec.com/us/productDetails.php?ProdID=26450 And it has been "fan"tastic so far. :D Actually, I bought the Antec Sonata II case which included this PS, and the two combined make for a very quiet PC.

    Godin Guitars

    I can't really comment with regard to a comparison to a Strat, however, the LGX series (with the piezos and the Seymour Duncan HB's) allow you to dial in just about any combination of tone. While you may not get a true single coil sound, you may be pleasantly surprised with what you can achieve...

    Godin Guitars

    I've got a Godin LGX-SA, and concur with all the praise that has been given above. Sound, feel, finish, playability - all are excellent. One of my favorite guitars. mike

    what do you guys think of the Martin backpacker guitar?

    That's exactly what I would have said ! :p Or do say :rolleyes: I have travelled with mine since '94 - It's been from Trinidad to Tokyo to Seoul to Mexico, and all points in between. Very easy to travel with, that's it's most redeeming feature for sure. Wanted to sell it many times, but...

    Godin Freeway SA Guitars

    I've got a Godin LGX-SA and use it with a GR-50. The guitar itself is great, tracking is acceptable to good through the synth (much better than a GK-2 hex pickup IMHO). And the range of sounds the guitar provides itself (w/ magnetic Seymour Duncan and RMC transducer pickups) is fantastic. Now...

    My new 4 string toy ! Happy Anniversary to me !

    No, it's just a bad flash reflection ... the pickup is actually flat black ... The coolness of the bass is what attracted me initially, and when I picked it up, I found that it sat so comfortably - wasn't head heavy - I knew it was meant for me :cool: And the luthite body feels different -...

    My new 4 string toy ! Happy Anniversary to me !

    Ha, I was looking for the pic I put in this thread for something else, and lo and behold, somebody resurrected it. And yes, I am still around, and I still love the bass. I tracked a bit with it recently after not picking it up in a couple months, and it was pretty easy to get back the groove...

    What was your first guitar?

    Got this when I was 11. Long gone, but I loved this thing. Broken truss rod, so virtually unplayable above the 5th fret, but I still thought I was George Harrison :rolleyes:

    Well, I don't like clicking on links that tell me SFA besides the URL and the filename. So there. :p :D If you are gonna do that, at least give us a description. Suggest to Dragon that he allow multiple images in the feedback forum. mike

    Has anyone checked these out?

    I've got an Apex 430. It isn't the quietest mic in the world, and its noise floor would intermittently rise and fall. Don't know if it is based on heat, humidity, crappy components or what, but it is irritating. I like using it now as a cabinet mic, but was initially using it for vocals and...

    Roland-Ready Strat and GR33 Help

    Oh, yeah, Light is right. Messy playing is a no no with a guitar synth. Always takes me a while to get back into it if I've been strumming a lot of acoustic. Squeaks and squawks, man. :D

    Roland-Ready Strat and GR33 Help

    I don't know about the GR-33, but on the GR-50 you must set the input sensitivity (into the synth) of each string's pickup (basically it's a gain/attenuation of the input). This is done through the display (mode button, I believe, for the GR-50). It will compensate for discrepancies in the...

    I think I want one of these !

    Oh, yeah, I know, but it would just look so good on my desk ... Never pay that kind of money, either. After all I do live in Samsung country ... :D I run two at work (one 18.1" and one 17"), and I'd love to have two at home.
