    Who is the most underrated guitarist?

    Any one of these guys can melt your face with metal chops, country Licks or what ever style you want to hear. I think it's cool to hear Keith sing His country tunes to pay the bills and when it comes time to schred He can rip down the house. Same goes for any one of these guys. Keith Urban...

    Change Strings Man!!!

    Ya, I tech among other odd.....I mean very odd jobs. I think He changes strings when the rust starts grinding the ends of His fingers off. I did have a buddy years ago that had a very high acid level. If he didn't wipe off the strings ever time he touched the guitar the strings turned to pure...

    Change Strings Man!!!

    OK, I just had to share this guitar moment. I change on an average a dozen sets a day and this by far the worst I've seen. Here's a guitar I had to change the strings on this week. I just had to get a photo of it. This qualifies as the worst of the worst for me. Especially since this guitar is...

    Can you have a quick look at this neck? Bowed or No?

    And From what I can see from the photos the neck looks very close to where it should be. If it plays the way you want it too then yes the neck is exactly where it should be. Remember you have a few ways of adjusting the action. Nut, neck bow, neck tilt and bridge saddles. The neck bow is not...

    Anything better than a BBE Sonic Maximizer 882i?

    Closet BBE users Wow! Now we trash the magic black box? Poor BBE. I sold all mine when people still thought they were the hottest ticket in town. They had several great uses in live sound reinforcement but fell way short in studio applications. So lets see a show of hands, how many closet...

    Lx20 tape format problem

    MassStreet is a great place to hang out. As far as tape goes contact Ron Roberts @ 913-268-0485 He is one of the only emtec tape reps in the Midwest. You can not only buy direct but He'll also deliver to your door. If the adat unit is still functioning then you don't have the chip problem. The...

    AudiMute Sound Proofing sheets

    Funny Good eye on the photo thing. I think John Mayer, Third Eye blind and back street boys would have laughed at the blankets and found the nearest exit. Airborne does has a great facility as well as reputation. C Gibson Studio

    Lx20 tape format problem

    Few ideas Here are a few ideas that come to mind. 1. If you have a new/old stock LX20 adat you could possibly have one with the bad chips that went out between 100 – 200 hrs. 2. The LX20 runs best on preformatted basf/Emtec tapes. Other tape brands can cause the adat to give a variety of...

    The Mars Microphone

    You should be so Lucky! Seriously guys, I think my new Cell Phone has the same mic in it. It has a far away sound that kinda sounds like your calling from Mars. And it has some kind of satellite link-up that retrieves all kinds of data. And every time I get the bill, I swear they're trying to...

    SP C4's and Classical Music

    SP's do the Job Hello I've been impressed with all the SP mics including the C4's. My short lived experience with the C4's left a pretty good impression. I especially like the idea of having interchangeable capsules to convert to omni if needed. The -10db pad and High pass also make them...

    Adat LX20 Won't power on.

    cool Beans! Thanks Man! The video thing was kinda fun. I wanted to do the 3D full room looping thing but wasn't smart enough in the video department. That was actually my first attempt at putting together a video scene by scene. I've been debating the HD24 since the day it came out. My...

    Adat LX20 Won't power on.

    That's OK I've been wrong before. I'm sure it's dumb luck I've been able to save myself cash by being wrong. You're advice is probably great for most people that don't make a habit of taking things apart just to see how they work. I'm not a mechanic either but in the last Month I somehow...

    Adat LX20 Won't power on.

    Well OK I've maintained my adats this way for years. Mine are used 30 a week with over 2000 hrs on two of them and no shop time. the other two were rebuilt after 1500 hrs. (Not the manuals 500 hrs.) So you tell me I've been doing it wrong for years? I guess I'll pack them up and take them to...
