Good ol’ Boss SD-3 for $75. A Christmas bargain

I'm gassing for a 12 string electric. There are 3-4 songs in our Springsteen show that should be played on a 12 but I don't have one! Of course I want a Ric, but I've been looking at other options. I'm considering a Dano 12 as I like the sound and they are pretty affordable, although to be honest t...

From that ^ to this. Two layers of Braceline/Noise Gib on the ceiling last night and I started putting up the first wall layer this morning. Unfortunately I have to wait to finish the other two walls because we have to build the timber window and door frames first. And I am frustratingly just short ...

One thing I learned was that a lot of people wreck the sound tightness by cutting in light fittings and electrical sockets after they've gone to all the effort of room-within-a-room. Ideally most stuff is surface mounted. Absolutely. It’s th...

Yeah, I helped Matt build one years ago which he sold, and then I converted a carport at our last house, so we’ve been accumulating ideas of how best to do things with ...

I promised her a date with Chris Hemsworth! Ha!
