Re: Mexi Vs Merkin Fenders

Re: Help with getting started in home recording

I've been using Reaper (and so does one of my mates), I think their "evaluation mode" is brilliant, who would really go to the effort of pirating it? And the full license is so cheap I will be purchasing the full license as my time spent recording increases to avoid the 5 second "buy...

Re: Any experience with Behringer power amps?

A lot also comes down to the subjective nature of sound. have fun! I've been using Reaper (and so does one of my mates), I think ...

Re: Comparing Bridge Humbuckers

Re: Guitar Setup Kit?

Yeah, I suppose the follow up is I went and bought like $25 worth of tools, and then recently a soldering iron etc. and all in I've probably spent $100.

Still missing a feeler gauge.
