bump also adding a Gretsch Synchromatic Sparkle Jet (G1627). blue sparkle with a thinline style f-hole. comes with Gretsch gig bag. Bought brand new in late 2002. I even have the original tags/paperwork. http://www.guitar.com.au/guitars/electric/gretsch/synchromatic/G1629.htm (but blue) i had it set...

I'm doing some fundraising towards this 52 tele I've got my eye on. Prices negotiable. Make me an offer.. Tangent 1202ax mixing console. 12x2 w/power supply. 3 band eq, 3 sends on each channel. I'd like to sell this in the new england area, as it's pretty heavy, but I'd be willing to split the shipp...

I used an MT8X for years and was very happy with it. Very durable as well.

lots of good suggestions here. i was looking for a low cost 1-12" combo to record and play out occasionally with, and a friend of mine who worked at univibe in berkeley recommended a 60s ampeg reverberocket. i found one for $350 (reverberocket II) and have been in love with it ever since. amazing re...

a friend of mine had one of those, but i don't remember how it sounded because the green light on the front was so cool. kind of a psychedelic vu meter. i have a furman rv-1 that i like pretty well (for the price) but is kind of buzzy. need to check out some mods to upgrade. i also like the radio sh...

how far are they from the mike? if you want a proximity effect bass boost, they have to be pretty close. if you're tracking in small rooms and your vocalist is 2-4' away, you're going to hear the sound of a small room. try boosting at 200hz ala the tape op eq article. might warm it up a little. good...

great video. if nothing else you can't fault steve's ethics.

an aside: i'm a huge calculator watch fan too.

i read nick drakes biography, but can't find it now to refer to. i know the legend is that he left the final master at the record company without announcing himself, and it was a few days before they realized he had delivered the new album. this implies that he recorded the album himself, but i want...

Just a heads up. A friend of mine found paperback copies of this sadly out of print book at borders (in portland, maine), in their cut out section no less. Very cheap. The weird thing is that the copyright for the printing is 2004. The cover is different, but he compared the contents to an original ...

a version of the cd came with a dvd that showed some of the recording process. one of my favorite shots is of a huge row of combo amps. goes to show you don't need to bring your marshall stack into the studio for big sounds.

i use retrospect express to an external firewire drive. another solution is to just drag the folder that you have been working in to another drive, replacing the old one each day. one good thing about retrospect is that it will store old versions of your files, so if you need to go back a couple of ...

i think norman petty used his attic as an echo chamber when recording buddy holly's "peggy sue". same idea, speaker at one end and a mic at the other. there's also a story about lee hazelwood running around in the country banging on grain silos to find the right one for duane eddy's guitar.

one to look for might be the ibanez adl. it's part of the kind of goofy 80s master series line, but supposedly has the same circuitry as the older "9 series". anyway, they can be picked up pretty cheaply and sound great.

Glad to hear some opinions on the b&ws. I've used 602 series 1s as my living room speakers for a few years, and always test mixes on them. They are fantastic speakers for the money, i think. Any thoughts on "flat" vs "colored" regarding speakers for mixing? I've never used the b&w's for mixing think...
