The singles probably do... Kinda like 250K and 500K with passive singles and humbuckers

5K for volume? You sure about that? I thought both of them were 25K. Hmm, means my pots are wrong :s

Hmm, ya have to wonder. Must ask him to open the cavity and see what size the pots are physically. I know this isn't a great indictation but if they're not the small ones, they ain't the EMG ones.

Yeah, I was thinking that. A Mate got a shop to put in EMG's. I'm fairly sure they reused the existing pots. Would probably explain why he's changing them.

Liquid Tension Experiment. Great band made up of most of Dream Theater. In "In The Name Of God", Portnoy types in morse code "EAT MY ASS AND BALLS" twice.

Does anyone know if DiMarzio's come with pots and jacks, like EMG's do? Need ot know quickly.

Generally, virus scanners check all files opened. I use AVG from www.grisoft.com Free and very cool imo.

Yeah, most browsers are based on Mozilla. Mozilla has the hole I think. I believe it says so in the link I posted. I use Opera on all my machines and love it

Cos the hole was only introduced in version 1. The hole hasn't been released for obvious reasons but it exists. Luckily, most people don't attack FireFox. And in case anyone was doubting me, http://www.theregister.co.uk/2005/01/07/mozilla_flaws/

Firefox has a massive security hole in it at the moment. Not secure at all at all. And yeah, there are no Linux viruses. Only ones for Windows.

A seperate physical drive is recommended more than a partition. If it's a partition, the physical hard drive is doing the exact same movement as if the scratch drive was on the same partition, only possibly worse. No idea where the name came from. I recommend: P4, at least 3 ghz with Hyper Threading 2 GB of PC3700 or PC4200 RAM 2 x 200 gig hard drives (in Raid 1) 1 x 36 10,000 RPM Western Digital Drive (for OS and software) M-Box external sound device 19" TFT Microsoft Keyboard and mouse I think that this set up will be the most stable and suitable, while keeping in a reasonable budget. The P4 with HT is perfect for number crunching and will out perform an AMD 64 of similar spec. Recording uses a hell of a lot of RAM so get as much as you can afford. There's certain ways of working out what speed to get but I'm not overly familiar with them. The 2 x 200 gigs in Raid 1 means that one hard drive mirrors the other. You only get 200 gigs storage combined but if one of those hard drives goes, you can unplug it, put in an identical one and still have all your files as you left them. The 10,000 Raptor will give a nice performance boost but nothing massive. Use this as your application drive and the 200gig drives as your saving and scratch drive. The M-Box is only an idea. I'm not really up to date with external musicians sound devices so someone else may advise differently but I've heard good things about them. The 19" TFT is plenty large and will be kind to your eyes, plus there's no noise from them (through guitar pickups) The Microsoft keyboard and mouse, I just love. Think they're well built, feel nice and are very nicely priced.

A scratch disk is what the Operating System (OS) uses to write temporary information to. When the scratch disk is the same as the primary disk (the one with the OS and software on it), the hard drive has to jump all around the place because it'll be trying to write temporary information to the hard drive while accessing files for the OS and what programs you're runnning. Not really the best solution.

At least a gig of ram, preferably two and big, 7200 rpm, 8 mb cache hard drives, possibly Raided for higher speed. As for a sound card, every look into M-Box stuff?

Bots shouldn't be able to join. Unless it's a new feature with IPB 4 but that'd be an interesting security hole...

I haven't built yet. I got a nice Brazlian mahogany neck blank from a builder suppliers in Galway (€16 for about 4 foot) but I'm based in Dundalk. Builder suppliers and cabinet makers are your best bet I think.

OT but I didn't know there was more Irish folk around here

I think the 1570 is Japanese cos it has the prestige neck.

Hmm, seems the 570 was renamed the 1570. I was just wondering about the website but I found it for €50 cheaper...

Just wondering if any German or European members have used this website? It almost seems too good to be true. An RG 1570 for €675 ??? That's damn good.

I seem to recall a 7 string being about €225 and that was a really good deal...

No reason why it wouldn't from what I can see. Yes, connect to the bridge if you're not using active EMGs

Grassroots are the model of the pile in terms of ESPs. LTD's are far better.

Cube 60 maybe?

Ooooohhhh, tut tut

Well, I was just speccing up a DC127 neck through, with TOM, ebony board, no inlays and it's €600 shipped in America. TBH, it'd be in a hard case so as long as the box was undamaged, more than likely the guitar would be fine. I don't really care about the returns policy.
