    Dynamic mics: OM5, E845, Beta58 ?

    Thank you all for the inputs... So the Beta 58/Sennheiser 845/OM5, AKGD880... are a step "above" the SM58 ? Good feedback rejection is an important feature for me. I've seen some 3-pack Sennheiser 845 for about $230. Is that a good price ? I think one mic runs about $140. Also the Audix...

    M-Audio SP5B Monitors for 1st Studio?

    Deemic - Thanks for the reply. How's the connection go ?... I believe the SP5 has the XLR & TRS connections ...but the sub-woofer which I have in mind (Yamaha YST SW105 or the SW-215) has a pair of RCA INs plus these banana plugs/bare speaker terminals ... I guess, I would need some sort of...

    Pickups advice for MIM Strat - Thanks !

    6gun - Thanks for the input ... Hmmm... I certainly don't want to spend a lot of $$$ on the pickups .. I figure a set of listed p/u would cost me around $120 (plus installation - since I've never done any mods before) ... I didn't know you'd still get the hum from TS ... I've heard of Dimarzio...

    Pickups advice for MIM Strat - Thanks !

    Hi guys, I have a MIM Strat for a couple years now, I play mainly blues/rock to hard rock-based music ...Lately, I've been seeking for a more sustain, warmer tone but still retain some Strats' clean/glass-tone (without the hum also!) :D ... So, I think my strat would need a make-over ...

    Help with Zoom 1044

    explorer - Why would you want to switch to a smaller hard drive ? Just curious ... Although the Zoom OS is proprietary, I'd think it's possible to put it on a different hard disk - as long as you have the built-in CD version or a USB card ... I have a non-CD 1044 with USB card ... so far...

    Cutaway guitar

    Thanks guys ! Some good info indeed ...!!! Now I understand a bit more about acoustic guitar ... Thanks !! :) Re: bone saddle/pins - It's not for "decorative" :) ... I guess they can add "brightness" & "sustain" to an acoustic (probably it would apply more toward steel string guitars) ...

    Line 6 POD upgrade???

    King, First, you may want to check your firmware version to see exactly what version you have: Hold down the ‘Manual’ button while powering up the POD. The display will spell out P – O – D – X – y (where X = the release number and y = the sub-release). The current version is 2.3 So, if you...

    Roland XP Series vs. Others

    Thank you Rev E ! So far I've only sampled a few sounds from both, I played with the Triton LE a bit more ...and I really like its sound - specially the sequencer option. On the other hand, I think the XP 30 has more sounds !! :confused: :D ...I think ....I'm gonna give Triton LE a try...
