Okay, I have a Tascam DP-01 digital recorder, an Alesis Nanoverb effects unit and a DOD SR 431 rackmount 31 band EQ that has a balanced input and output. Up until tonight I've only been using the Tascam and the Nanoverb. If I connect JUST the Nanoverb thru the Tascams "Send" and "Return" jacks...

I'd like to get some new pickups for my Strat, preferably noiseless. Not trying to copy anybodys sound, just want some pickups that won't be too thin on the high end or too "ice-pickey" especially in regards to the bridge pickup. I also plan on wiring it up to a 5-way switch with just one...

I could use a bit of help here, folks. I'm in the process of putting some new pickups in my Tele (DiMarzio Area T's) and once again I'm trying to figure out if all of the ground wires grounded from the body in this guitar are truly necessary. Obviously the ground from the jack sleeve has to be...

Got any recommendations for something with more of a medium output? Something that's not too twangy but somethings that's not too dark either in a noiseless pickup. I'm not into copying tones but just for examples sake, something that would get me from Eagles to Led Zeppelin. I'd also consider...

Have any Tele players out there tried a left handed pickup mounting plate for thier right handed Tele? If so, did you notice much of a differance having the bridge pickup on a differant angle?

I was checking out some demo's at You Tube of the Roundhouse HB and the Warhawk HB models and I must say these guitars seem like a great bang for the buck. Love what the bass contour knob does for the overall tones. Makes for some very versatile sounds. Anyone own or have tried either of these...

Bear with me here, gang. Been doing a lot of home recording onto my Tascam DP-01 and am trying to make sense of how to get my recordings onto a CD. Okay, I admit that I'm having a hard time with the manual. The manual reads like it was written by the people who designed the machine, but who...

Been toying with the idea of trying a certain combination in my LP Standard which is a Custom 5 in the bridge and an Alnico II Pro in the neck. I seem to prefer a bridge pickup that's got a bit more of a kick to it than a low output PAF type model and I want a clear sounding neck pickup with no...

I'm toying with the idea of sending my DSL 50 to Trace and company for modifications. I read a bunch of reviews at Harmony Central for mods done to various amps and all seemed very pleased with the end results. If I could hear from any of the good folks here who've dealt with Voodoo it would be...

I've got a Gibson swamp ash LP that's a great player, but I still have'nt found a set of pickups that's really floored me. I've tried a few Gibson and DiMarzio combinations that have been good, but not quite there. I've come to the conclusion that what this guitar needs is a set of pickups that...

I think I've found what may be the acoustic guitar I've been looking for. Can't believe how many acoustics I've tried that are either too dark, too boomey, too boxey or too bright sounding. The mentioned Martin has a great combination of a rich sounding bass that's not over the top, good mids...

If so, I have a question or two about it. (No sense in typing it all out if no one can help me). After using a Fostex 4 track cassette recorder for years (which broke down on me) I'm very new to the whole digital recording thing. Having a hard time tyring to figure a thing or two out. Thanks.

Played a Gibson Songwriter acoustic about two weeks ago. Absolutely beautiful, rich tone. Not to much or two little of anything, flawless workmanship and the neck and action felt like it was custom made for me. Effortless playing. But the price was near the $2,000.00 mark. :smack: I'm sure it's...

Both my Tele and Strat are MIA models, 4 bolt neck with the micro-tilt. The neck on the Tele is all maple and the Strats neck is maple with a rosewood top. Offhand it would seem that the necks could be easily (and safely) interchangable, but you never know. Does anyone know for a fact if they...

The STL 52-1 Tele bridge pickup. Also called the Nashville Studio Tele Lead. This is the one with A5 rods for the low E, A and D strings and A2 rods for the G, B and high E strings. On paper it sure sounds like a good idea and some Harmony Central reviewers have said it's a very even sounding...
