It will definately work. As Jay said that's what you're essentially doing anyway.

Because I like recording a LOT more than having a Bass Boat.

I have a Rivera Pubster (2 6V6's @ 20 watts) that's pretty cool. Also an old Silvertone 1448 that came housed in the guitar case with a Silvertone (Danelectro) guitar. I took the amp and mounted it in a cabinet with a Jenson 10" speaker and put on a grounded plug. Perfect for rhythm tracks. Not sure...

I wouldn't say it's a total waste of time but it sure won't get clients beating a path to your door. I've gotten about 5 clients and a shit load of the "other".

I TRY to have the recorder rolling at all times, even when the band is fucking around. I try to catch the happy little accidents that way plus if the band thinks the machine isn't on sometimes they seem to play a little better when they don't have "tape nerves". But if it does happen that it's not r...

The grass is always greener over the septic tank.

I posted this at another BBS a few days ago but it sums up the way I feel about it. I like tube amps best but I think the mojo is in miking a speaker, recording wise. A mic catching moving air. I have an AX2 (a POD with an amp under it into two 12's) and it records better than a POD lined in. The di...

I second the Tama stands. Fantastic clutch and very beefy.

I've had an HD24 for over two years and about two months ago I had the same problem. I replaced the drive and about a month ago it happened again on a different drive. The first time I lost a 12 hour seesion with a paying client which REALLY hurt. The second time I ran the scan disc utility (scan an...

Some good info here on L models. I've done a few of these mods on mine.

Also, the L series does not have a seperate start motor.

I have a $10 L-103 myself. The tone wheel assembly is locked up. Get yourself a bottle of Hammond oil and start oiling the ALL the linkage and tone wheels, put some in the oil "gutter" that runs above the linkage assembly and oil the wicks the draw the oil on to the linkage. GENTLY work the ALL the ...

That's what I'm getting eardy to do to my L.

I like the mic everyone seems to hate, an AKG C-1000 on snare. It sucks on just about everything else but it shines for me on snare (and toms).

I like a Shure 545 better than 57's. An MD-441 is nice. The narrow pattern makes it a little easier to get away from the hats. A real sleeper is an AKG C-1000. Everyone hates this mic (and maybe with some reason) but on snare and toms I like it a lot.
