Love the Rens on snare batter.

The Fibreskins can make Roto toms sound good. They do seem to like low tunings, but so do I.

Really want to try one of the Fibre/powerstrokes on kick, but haven't needed a new kick head yet.

Last I knew Bias was still supplying an os9 version of peak with every os10 version. Should cover your sampling needs pretty well.

Re: Guitar - Replacing Bridge Brushings for a Gibson

o make a long story shorter I have to remove the brushings that are burried in the guitar and replace them with the thicker threaded ones. I have no idea how to do it without cracking the guitar in half. Any suggestions at all would be GREATLY appreciated. Place the guitar so that the body is flat ...

On usenet, if you remember usenet, there's

Rec.arts.theater.stagecraft

There also used to be a stagecraft mail list, but I don't know if it still functions.

Clearcom is pretty much the standard.

The Snarling Dogs Mold Spore pedal is worth looking into as well. Wha pedal with a ring mod as well. Very sick sounds.

It should also be noted, that while those testers will indicate a properly wired receptacle, there are several consitions that will mislead them to indicate a proper ground, where there is not actually one. If you're really in doubt about any place that you spend a lot of time, get an electrician to...

Part of the trouble with the dimininshing returns cycle is that it's all interdependant, and there's a big variable involving your ears. I've sometimes gotten a piece of gear that someone, whose opinion I respect, has declared to have a, "night and day," difference from another piece. When I don't h...

Some notes of caution: Although the technicalities of the noise laws might ultimately be a protection, the police can and likely will, make your life miserable, if they feel that you are not responding properly to their, "authority." If you plan to rely on this, get a lawyer and prepare for a long n...

If she wants a Ric, get her one. They sound cool, look cool, and play great. Less of a one trick pony than people say, you can get a lot of different sounds with string changes and the like.

If you need basic stuff, the drawing section of Apple Works isn't bad. I'd recommend Vectorworks, but that's a heavy investment in tools you might not need.

If you look over on GearSlutz, you'll find a long thread on the making of the last Kings X record. Micheal Wagener used MTS series stuff pretty much exclusively. Based on that, I went to check them out, and ended up with a 1x12 50 watt combo, and 4 modules. The plexi and SL+ modules give distinctly ...
