    Piezo pickup for 5 string electric bass

    Thanks for the link. Unfortunately I'm in England, and they don't have a dealer of that stuff anywhere near me. They also seem to be piezo bridges, rather than just plain pickups. I'm not looking to replace my entire bridge.

    where to buy computer from?

    Best place in England would be Scan.co.uk for new. For used, eBay and Gumtree are still about the best, so you're already looking in the right palces there. I'd be reluctant to buy used for computers too, but with the kinda budget you have, there isn't much you'll be able to get. See what you...

    Solid State Drives

    Should always have your plugins on a separate drive if possible. and definitely have your recording get sent to its own drive. The reason to not have them all on the same drive is that it then gives the drive mroe jobs to do at the same time. But if you have separate drives, they can all be...

    Solid State Drives

    I'd probably have to agree about the not going back. Just the leap to my F3s made a huge difference in speed to the old family computer I used to use. But the cost of SSDs are still not worth the few less seconds of load up time to me. Not yet.

    Piezo pickup for 5 string electric bass

    I'm wondering what a good piezo pickup to go for would be. The majority of ones I see, seem to be for acoustic, or just regular old 4 stringers. No real range of monies I'm looking at, as I don't have any anyways. =P But I'm just curious as to what options there are if I do end up coming across...

    Solid State Drives

    "let's say I get a desktop computer capable of multiple drives" As opposed to the ones that aren't? =P Never seen one myself. But yes, it should be as easy as making a full copy onto the new disk. If you have the original OS disk, it'd be a lot more healthy for the drive to start over fresh...

    Jim Marshall

    *trolls* I like Dual Rectifiers. ;P In a more serious note, even having never been much of a guitarist, and certainly never having played through a Marshall, I can definitely see that without someone doing what Jim did, there wouldn't be a lot of the music styles we have today.

    Pick Guards

    When - Some time in the late 80s/early 90s from what it seems to me. I'm sure there are some even earlier, but it's with bands around then, that I really start to see them. Why - Because, as already stated, they are pointless... and a lot of people just like the look of a guitar without a...

    Signal interference due to weather/power lines?

    You're never meant to use high power electrical equipment in a storm. That includes your computer and amps. It's always good to have some kind of surge protection, but even that can't always help. If you're in an area that is constantly hit by storms, I can understand how it might be annoying...

    Solid State Drives

    "it searches, literally, at the speed of light"... Actually, it searches at the speed of electricity. =P In a complete vacuum, yes, that is the speed of light. But in even the best vacuums we can create, not of them are complete. In a copper cable, it travels at about 97% the speed of light...

    Stfu psu

    "gaming PC" and "cheapest possible psu" should never be used in the same sentence. You gotta take good care of a machine like that. Just as you do a music computer. Mine is both. The addition of a good graphics card turned it into a monster of a gaming rig. My best advice is to just move your...

    help with death metal mix

    But somewhat there?... The sound is terrible. It would sound better just using some preset sound on your line 6.

    metalhead noob on drum recording

    It's as easy as copying each hit of whatever drum and pasting them onto a new track. As for MIDI, there should be an option in GP to export as MIDI file.

    Stfu psu

    Almost any will do you? I use Corsair myself. Antec are known for making some great power supply units. But I can't really give you any specifically quiet ones. Most will have a fan in. Best you can do is make the rest of the fans in your computer quieter. Or move it away from where you are...

    Pick Guards

    Pickguards are ugly things on most guitars. Strats seem to pull it off fairly well, but I'd never wanna see one on a Hufschmid. They are fairly useless for anyone who can actually use a pick properly.The most you're usually gonna get is some pick dust buildup. Easily wiped away. Another reason...

    Realistic Bass Guitar Vst suggestion

    Omnisphere is a great synth. Might have a check out of this. There's definitely no way it can compete with even my cheap basses though. =P

    Problems connecting a MIDI capable keyboard via audio interface into Ableton Live

    Doesn't make sense to me. MIDI cables don't send driver information. As well as pretty much any computer already having drivers to read and playback MIDI data.

    Has anyone seen, heard of or tried THESE corner "bass" traps?

    Don't really see them being hugely effective. they make the corners look nice though! =P

    It's a matter of life and death to get that fixed/replaced first thing! =P

    Equiipment that I need to choose

    Your PC has plenty. Replacing it with something twice the price for the same stuff seems pointless. I've actually been hooked up to a studiolive on stage before and i really like them. but can't comment on any desk as a user. As I have never used one. =P One thing you could do is upgrade your...
