more stories of the space business by georgeha (4.00 / 1) #1 Thu Aug 17, 2006 at 03:22:52 PM EST

I wanted to work in the space business, now as an outsider looking in I appreciate the stories. Sometimes I don't always respond, as I'm not on here as often after 5:00.

I know next to nothing about audio by lm (4.00 / 1) #2 Thu Aug 17, 2006 at 03:25:49 PM EST

I'm presuming your looking for a all-in-one design with receiver, amplifier, cd player, etc. all in one unit. Consumer Reports says that the limiting factor in quality in such units is usually the speakers. So visit the store and listen to various units that the features you want in your price range and see which sound good to you. If you're planning on moving into the Home Theatre level, they had good words about the JVC TH-M303 in the budget range.

Ventura 12-string by The Fool (4.00 / 3) #3 Thu Aug 17, 2006 at 03:26:27 PM EST

My father-in-law has one, and his is also near death.

The Yamaha 12-strings that I've tried have been very nice, and Seagull has a 12-string model that looks and feels like it should be great. Unfortunately, the only 12-string Seagull that I ever played was a used one that someone had strung up with two sets of strings for a 6-string. Poor guitar.

I really like the articles that you linked to, and have not had time to fully enjoy them
You should get your guitar repaired by a pro for the price of a new one.

Not sure I can afford a hand-made one, but hey.

Also, comma, y'all have a copy of my NaNo. If'n y'd like to make some comments (anything at all), I'd be happy to hear them.

well.... by clock (4.00 / 2) #10 Thu Aug 17, 2006 at 04:49:30 PM EST

...actually, you could afford one of the first dozen i plan to have built by this time next year. i plan to give them all away to get feedback. so if you can wait, i can put you on "the list."

re: nano...yeah...i've been a slacker. after next week, i will re-read and comment! promise!

as to your 12-string, don't try to adjust the neck yourself. it will only end in tears. please take it to a pro (an actual luthier will do you right). it could save the life of your instrument.

We're slowly populating the house with husian gear. If you make a guitar you'd like to part with, I'd be happy to try to play it for most of the rest of my life. :-)

Does it have to be a 12 string? by Bob Abooey (2.00 / 0) #8 Thu Aug 17, 2006 at 04:42:27 PM EST

Seriously, if not you should check out the local Sam Ash or Guitar Center (beware - Guitar Center is quite an experience) and play some of the lower priced acoustics they have. You may be surprised what a couple hundred clams will buy nowadays.

I'm not sure about 12 strings though, I've never priced one but can only assume they're more costly.

no by ana (2.00 / 0) #9 Thu Aug 17, 2006 at 04:45:13 PM EST

not necessarily, though I do like the sound.

How the heck is ana going to rock out on Dream On with a 6 string?

If Rockin-Out was in order I'd suggest a nice BC Rich Guitar for $199!

The iBook adds to my costs by cam (2.00 / 0) #21 Thu Aug 17, 2006 at 07:33:52 PM EST

I think I got it for $850. The bass cost me ~170 USD. I use rythym rascal for drums which cost me about $25. So I come in at about $1400 total with the iBook the biggest expense.

Yeah by Bob Abooey (4.00 / 1) #22 Thu Aug 17, 2006 at 08:07:16 PM EST

I'm not adding my PC into the mix because I use it for other stuff, but it was the main reason I bought a new one, my old PIII didn't have the power to run any recording software beyond very basic stuff.

I could add my Amp ($400) plus my software (Sonar Home Studio XL - $159) plus my mixer ($79) plus my mic ($100) plus effect pedals (~$150) plus God knows how much in myriad "LEARN TO PLAY GUITAR LIKE A GOD IN TWO WEEKS" books but the truth is I'm probably better off not even adding it all up.

Warmest regards,

I'm pretty sure you had it right in the first place about the WFC deadline. And, who ever needed a good idea in order to enter? (Me, I'm just hoping for time to bang at the keyboard.)

Some stories are fascinating and well told yet elicit no response, because no one can think of anything apropos to say (other than to pick at your sentence structure ;)).

I own a metric allen wrench set, but from what the pros here say, you don't want it.

guitar by iGrrrl (4.00 / 1) #14 Thu Aug 17, 2006 at 05:00:32 PM EST

Take it to Mauradian on Mass Ave, Porter Square. He's upstairs over one of the small music stores, one that specializes in cool vintage amps. He is excellent, and is the only person I will have work on my guitar.

He's not fast, however...
