This is a cream Ibanez Talman with a red pearloid pickguard. It has an ash body. It originally came with 3 lipstick pickups, but the bridge position has been replaced with a Seymour Duncan Hot Rails. I've owned this guitar for over 10 years now and I now have to downsize my collection. It kills...

I'm also looking for a reasonably priced Guitar to USB device. I'll be using an iMac Core Duo, so it needs to be compatible with that (which I think just about any USB device will be. It's the software that has all the bells and whistles that I'd probably have a problem with). Thanks.

But I'm looking for a pair of speakers to double as monitors as well as listening to my regular music though. My iMac only has the 2 little speakers that are built into it. Does anyone have any experience with the M-Audio Studiophile DX4? They are very reasonably priced and have good reviews on...

GuitarBT.com isn't allowing any downloads until 1 October. Do you guys have any alternate sources? I'm suddenly inspired. I think I'm going to go goofy and just plug my ESP straight into the line in on my Mac and see if Garageband's "effects" are worth anything.

Well, I've come to a crucial decision. I'm going to sell my Mesa Boogie Mark III head. I like the lead channel on it, but having only one eq and trying to go back and forth from lead to clean doesn't work out so well. I find the clean channel on it thin when I have everything set for the killer...

I record with nothing but a mic and a Tascam Portastudio right onto tape. Whenever I record I get the "room noise". Stuff that you don't hear until you listen to a recorded piece. On all of the samples I hear here, it's completely dead, like it should be, prior to any music being played. And, it...

I just ordered a Duncan Distortion. I'm using it to replace a JB (bridge) in my ESP Eclipse (not LTD). The reason I was replacing the JB is because it's mid spike is a little misplaced sounding to me, and the bass isn't tight enough. Also, when clean the JB sounds a little thin to me, but that...

I've got an ESP Eclipse (LP style) with a JB in the bridge and 59 in the neck. The 59 in awesome for clean playing and for really smooth leads. The JB is good distorted, but is way to thin to use for clean tones. I'm looking for something with the midrange response of the JB, but more bass...

What mic preamps would you guys recommend for recording guitar? I'm ebay'ing right now for a SM-57 and would like a decent tube preamp to go with it. However I am a cheap bastard, so I'll be looking on ebay for the preamp as well. One that I can ebay for less that $100 would be nice. So let me...

Okay, I've got a TASCAM 4 Track portastudio that does the 4 simultaneous track recordings at one time. I have a decent mic, for guitar and I've been giving it one track. Bass has a XLR output from the amp to the portastudio and been giving it one track. What can I do with the drums with the...

I know a lot of you put emphasis on strap locks, because hey, it's holding your guitar up. I was just curious how many people cared about having a cool/nice strap, versus that black nylon one for $5? I was looking at getting one of the Levy's straps. Anyone have anything to share on these, like...

They have got to be one of the best inventions ever. This is my first time using them and they made restringing the guitar really easy. No trying to tie a know with the higher strings, or making sure you have x amount of wraps with the lower strings. Just put it in, lock and turn. Just wanted...

I remember someone posting a link for adjusting the Crybabies to give them more sweet spot. Does anyone still have that link, I'd like to give it a try. Also, if anyone knows of any mods for the MXR Phase 90 I'll look at them too.

I'm willing to trade for these items. I'm looking for stomp boxes, no multi-fx processors please. Here's the link to the ebay auctions. Ignore prices on there if you're interested in trading. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7343951615&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMESE%3AIT&rd=1...

After considering a new LTD EC-400 ATS or going all the way and getting the Eclipse II with JB/59 pups, I've struck gold. I just won an ebay auction for the ESP Eclipse with the duncans. This thing is going to be awesome. But now I fear for my own life, I have to tell the wife. I'll post some...
