The Grapist posted:1958 Mark VI. Original lacquer, about 98 - 99% of which is remaining. The pearls and springs feel brand new, it was barely played. Whelp, jealous. I have two Conn and a Bundy altos; one Conn is blue and gold. I haven't played in over a decade. My dream is to afford and play a baritone again, always played school owned.

Bare brass 1954 VI, I had someone overhaul it, but they didn't do a job that I'm happy with, so I just said gently caress and I'm restoring it myself. I can probably find you a Baritone at a decent price when you're ready. PM me and I can find something decent in your budget.

My M-Audio Fast Track Pro crapped out on me over the weekend while I was in the middle of recording, so I decided it was time for a new interface. I went with the Apogee Duet 2, which is incredibly good. Not my photo, but that's what it looks like. Best interface I've owned by far. It sounds awesome, and kicks the poo poo out of the FTP in every way. I think eventually I'll spring for the breakout box, but for now the cable works perfectly.

Gordon Cole posted:Ungh, I've been really wanting a Bass VI but they're just too expensive. It probably mentions in the video, but I can't watch it at work, how much does it cost? I know this was from a couple of days ago. I have the Schecter version, and I really dig it. Picked it up for $750. Looks like it's gotten cheaper. http://www.musiciansfriend.com/guitars/schecter-guitar-research-hellcat-vi-electric-guitar/520006000064000?src=3WWRWXGB&ZYXSEM=0

Scored a Yamaha DGX-640 with a sweet coupon from guitar center. It was missing the screws needed to assemble the stand so it is in a sub-optimal position for the time being :/ Now I just need to learn how to play

Welcome to the White Explorer Club! It's such a fantastically balanced piece of gear. Does it have a strap button on the back as well? I'd highly suggest using that one instead of the top one because it'll slide right the gently caress off.

Well, considering it's a replacement for my previous JT90, which met an untimely semi-demise from a band member who is not Pete Townsend especially with my guitar, I like it very much.

It turns out Rondo also sells cheap classical guitar straps. Nothing special about the strap, but I never got to post a picture of my cheap classical before.

Today at work I made a whammy bar, since for some reason, my guitar didn't come with one. Just have to adjust my bridge a bit now. Now I'm realizing that it's way too long. Cpt. Spring Types fucked around with this message at 03:09 on Jan 28, 2012 |

Well, just think of it as more leverage, so you can whammy through semitones and semisemitones with more precision.

I can hire someone to stand in the next room over and whammy for me! Next time I want to make an accessory, I'll bring my guitar to work with me for reference.

Not quite finished with the build but it's going smooth and I wanted to show her off. SammichFM, a spartan midiboxFM, like the SammichSID. I'll have the wilba/nils "trinity" of a 6581, an 8580 and an OPL sammiches.

There are some tutorials on how to get that finish. If Project Guitar wasn't down, I'd link directly to their tutorial. I believe that its basically oil based paints sitting on top of a tub of water and you just dip the body in.

Bugera Vintage 5 I was going to go pick up a Tubemeister 18 head and cab because some of the tones I was hearing were what I wanted in my head. Nice dirty blues with some great cleans. I ran across some videos of this amp and heard the same tones I was looking for. I decided I'd just return it if I didn't like it, and it was only $190 so who cares. Got it home, and it sounded boxy, or muffled or something. I could hear the tones I wanted, but it was like a towel was over it. I read online people were changing tubes to bring out more upper and mids .. clarity. Went to my local guitar shop and they were closed for whatever reason. I ordered a JJ tube off amazon, and then remembered I had a Vox Tonelab ST which has a 12AX7 tube in there somewhere. I opened her up, and it was an Electro-Harmonix. Pulled out the Bugera branded tube, stuck this in, and it was like the towel was removed. I'm in love. For now.

Seeing the cajones earlier in this thread inspired me to build one for myself: I'm digging it so far - nicer range (and more fun to play) than the bongos I've got. Even inspired me to throw together a little youtube demo of it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=219J2x1RQGA

Get a huge bucket of water, mix in oil paints thinned out with some borax, then gently swirl the guitar body around as you dip it in the mix. Its a bitch to get right which is why there are a few people around who almost manage to do it for a living. The swirl above was courtesy of OOTS.

Its a bitch to get right which is why there are a few people around who almost manage to do it for a living. The swirl above was courtesy of OOTS. That's sick, thanks! I came home with an Aphex product an hour ago!  I guess it's really an EQ and a compressor working together per channel, it gives a big bottom and flexible mid-hi or highs depending on your setting. The best way to try one out is to run some finished tracks through it, maaaaaaan.. it's like my monitors aren't poo poo any longer, and some of the badly mixed tracks I've received are suddenly fine. This is best used with reference speakers or headphones for that reason, it's going to be a very carefully used end-mix unit to provide just a little oompf when I need to wrap up a mix, but until it will be set to pass through. Don't spend too much getting one, you can do this with other equipment if you've got the money and the space, and get the follow-up model the 204 for something better and more controllable if you get a good offer and need to add a lot of sound to your small low budget studio. edit: Hahaha, things sounding great through my 10€ Philips headphones messes with me. Flat as hell when passthrough, tweak the knobs a little and there's depth and width, there's even bass though not much of it. What a wonderful little rack unit this is.

 Picked it up from Amazon for $150 new; it was supposed to ship with a MIDI-to-USB cable (which didn't show up the same day what the gently caress) but I've been playing with it through my amp and it's bea-utiful.

They're wrapped the wrong way around the E and A string posts. Once you switch them the right way it'll weaken them where they bend and they'll be more likely to break. (though, chances are if they don't break while restringing they should last a while). Do those strings have a colored coating? They may be DRs as well - http://www.drstrings.com/catalogs/coated-colors
