I just got a new guitar for Christmas which brings the total to eight. Other than the newest one, I don't have anything particularly valuable or collectible, but they're all mine! So that brings me to my question. Sometimes one or more of these guitars may sit untouched for months. If I know I...

Hi. Long time no see. I've been gone for a few years, but I'd like to get back into recording down in the basement again. The age old problem for me. This mix sounds great on my system, but sounds different on every stereo I tried it on, and usually crappy. Any EQ suggestions would be greatly...

I'm getting ready to reinstall WIN 2K. This time with the standard PC HAL rather than ACPI. My new mobo has an option in BIOS to enable or disable ACPI, but it's greyed out so I can't change it to disabled. Does anyone know how to change this, or is it unimportant if standard PC is specified...

Hi Guys. I'm installing dual operating systems on a new machine, each on it's own partition. Do the two systems share a common boot sector, and where is it located - on C drive? I installed OS #1 on C: and then made a partion to image copy with ghost. I then installed OS # 2 on D: and made a...

RAM timings are usually listed in specific order..... 2.5(CAS)3(trcd)3(trp)6(tras) for example. I just checked Geils' website for their value RAM, and the timings were listed as 2.5-6-3-3. Could they have changed the order of the numbers? My BIOS doesn't even allow 6 as a choice for trcd. Could...

K8T Neo2 Socket 939 mobo with KT800 pro and Promise RAID controller? Can we talk? I need some help! Can't get the Promise to work :(

If you've shopped for a new case lately, you've probably seen the Sonata billed as "The quietest case in the world". While Antec should be applauded for their efforts, the case itself is really no quieter than any other well made case. It's a heavy bugger - all steel, and it comes with an Antec...

I'm building a new PC (about time!). When I built my last one, there was much discussion about installing as "Standard PC" and disabling ACPI. I'm wondering if that's still true or even necessary with all the improvements in the newer hardware. Question #2. In my new case a standard IDE cable...

How important is it to used a matched pair for dual channel DDR? Could I just use two sticks of off the shelf identical DDR? TIA twist

I have an original Fender 6 point trem bridge. When I bought the guitar, the claw that holds the springs was not screwed flush to the body. The screws were backed out about an inch. Is this normal, or should I screw them in till the claw is flush? Twist

Any opinions on the Strat trem bridge replacement made by Grover? TIA Twist

I wanted to buy a new nut for my squire strat. The one I was looking at is a roller nut, and it comes in 1 5/8 or 1 11/16. Guess what? When I measure the width of the nut at the base, it's exactly between 1 5/8 and 1 11/16. Which one do I need? twist

I know about stewmac, but are there any other good online stores for guitar parts (pick ups, tuners, etc.)? Thanks in advance Twist

After all he started this whole thing......Thanks Tom, I've always wanted to do this song! Lead and bass centered mono. 3 backing vocals doubled and panned 3 clap tracks... Left, Right, and Center. The hardest thing to do was the hand claps. I felt like a total spazz trying to just clap on the...

Two very old songs I recorded in my living room about ten years ago. Done on a four track with junk mics. I want to put some of this old stuff on a CD so I can get rid of the tapes, and not be tempted to mess with it anymore! I'm not a piano player, in fact I couldn't play these songs now if...

I just saw the photo in the booklet enclosed with the new Fleetwood Mac cd. Aside from what looks like a pretty cool home studio, it looks like Stevie is singing into a Studio Projects mic. Anyone care to take a guess at which model? Twist

I'm in the process of replacing the hardware on my Squire Strat. My question is, are there better bridges available for this guitar with tremelo. I've seen some on line, but they all look the same. I don't want to shell out $150 for a bridge that's no better than what I've got. TIA Twist

I need a new nut for a MIM Fender Strat with vibrato tailpiece. I'm intrigued by the "roller nut" idea. Anyone know if these things are any good? Twist
