    Click on "Tools", "Audio Options". Go to the "Advanced" tab and put a check mark on "Enable Simultaneous Record/Playback". ← I owe you a beer.

    I'm wondering if Vai thinks that the individual grooves might limit side to side movement of the trem when he pulls up. I don't really see why it would, but he's been right about everything else ...

    Is the neck angle different because the LP has the carved top and the SG is flat?

    I've had Cakewalk Pro Audio 8 for quite a while, and I'm just now starting to play with it. I used to have a Yamaha MT44 4 track cassette setup and it worked well. The problem now is I can't seem to figure out how to get the tracks I've recorded to play while I add another track. What am I doing wrong? It can't possibly be designed to work that way, can it? Any help at all is more than I've had so far. Thanks.

    The biggest problem, as I see it, is the polariztion factor. The "Herberts" (ten points for naming the reference) are against it, the stoners are for it. Somebody show me the logic in keeping it illegal, and I'm with you. Somebody give me the facts to prove that it's ok to open the gate, I'm there. So far I haven't heard it from either side. Until then , I'm in the middle of the road. And I don't like to be in the middle of the damn road. Too easy to get runned over.

    The other guitar player in my band has a Hamer Artist with the Seth Lover pickups and they sound incredible. Really "woody" if you know what I mean. The only problem with them is they tend to squeal. I'm told they're not potted, but I don't know. I don't care. They still sound amazing. As a side note, I think Hamer guitars are extremely underrated. In my opinion, they are at least as good as PRS, if not better.

    And uncomfortable after a 4 or 5 hour gig. There's another reason I like strats.

    I'm torn on this issue. Let me preface by saying that I am well over 21 and I like beer. A lot. I have a mixed drink occasionally. I smoke cigarettes (down to 2-3 packs a week). That's about all the vices I can handle. I have smoked pot. It didn't really do anything for me, so I choose not to do it. I do know a lot of people who enjoy it. Most are normal, hard-working, responsible Americans. Many are scumbags. Still others are in-between. The problem I have with it is that the arguments from organizations like NORML haven't convinced me that marijuana should be made completely legal. On the other hand, I don't think that simple possession should be a felony. Maybe it should be handled the same as liquor. Taxed and sold in "package stores." If you're caught driving with an "open container," you go downtown. Like that. I don't know.

    Maybe I've just been lucky. Anyway. Matt, where did you order that Rich from?

    hey, actually, i you want, ill trade it to ya for one of those pedals ill see how much shipping is ← USPS Priority Mail would be about 6 bucks, give or take. In case you were wondering.

    Really sorry to hear that, dude. Over the years, I've dealt with UPS a lot. I don't trust them. They're slow, careless, slow, expensive, slow, unreliable, slow, and hard to deal with. Did I mention that they're slow? I've recently bought 2 guitars from AMS and had them both delivered FedEx Ground. Both times they arrived a day before they were scheduled and the boxes were pristine. Not a wrinkle. I also shipped one out that I'd sold on Ebay from OK to NJ and it got there fast and safe. As far as I'm concerned, FedEx Ground is the only way to go.

    Thanks a lot. I was just about to head home and try recording the drum thing on my little Digitech RP50. Was not looking forward to that.

    Personally, if I was going the P90 route, I'd use it at the neck and leave the wood intact in the middle. You know, "less taste, better calories" or whatever. I don't even know what that means. Never mind. Anyway, if you like it, do it. There are no rules here. Except that one about the mashed potatoes.

    Here's some stuff that can be had cheap, if you have a way to pick it up. I mean like a forklift. Really.

    If Nirvana is "old" I must be "ancient." Man, that sucks.

    I think it would depend more on the attention span of -- ooh, a quarter!

    http://www.angelfire.com/ga/struitt/pepsi.html "1906-- ... The federal government passes the Pure Food and Drug Act, banning substances such as arsenic, lead, barium, and uranium, from food and beverages. This forced many soft drink manufacturers, including Coca-Cola, to change their formulas. Pepsi-Cola, being free of any such impurities, claimed they already met federal requirements."

    Just use a normal power supply and by a 1spot daisy chain, now you got up to 5 pedals on 1 outlet, and its easy as pie. ← I use the 1Spot with the daisy chain harness. They even make converter plugs for different type connectors . You can get the 1Spot & daisy chain together at Musicians Friend for like $25. http://www.musiciansfriend.com/srs7/g=home...ase_pid/151692/ http://www.visualsound.net/1spot.htm Godlyke & Carvin have similar setups.

    I don't know about the new BCRs, but the other guitar player in my band has a really nice 81 Mockingbird. Pearl white, gold hardware. Plays like, uh, butter. Or something.

    And in other news, Bernie Rico is still dead.

    Not to jump too far off-topic, but in the early 80s I had a SDHB in a late 70s SG. Sweet.

    Is it for real, a mod, or just a junkyard dog? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...3780749633&rd=1

    Just a thought -- why not try a piece of black Corian instead of the ebony? Or maybe ebony with a strip of Corian or Micarta on top?
