What are the best type of strings for tapping..
Heavier Guage or Light Guage...
and what should be the best string height for this.

(Bear in mind i tap on my 6 + 7 strings)

There seem to be a couple Luthiers on here so im guessing ill get some help.

Thanks in advance.

I admit by its own respects not really a bass is it... but nevertheless it is an instrument.. and Jean is pretty damn good.

I did still think why not buy a piano or dulcimer though.

Obviously 8+ just isnt enough

Having said that.. jean baudin is getting a 13 string (professionally) made.. and its shaping up to look quite lovely.

Brilliant song..
judgin by scratch plate.. is it a ricky

Id say EUB counts.
Its in the same clef

One of my mates guiatrist is thinking about buying one of these guitars.
I think the they would sound like resonator guitars in a weird way.

cool lookin though

I have 6.. so i was wondering what the average is.

Anyone out there own an iceman

Or do you loathe them.

I personally think theyre great,
id even consider that shape if i had a custom made.. maybe even 9 string.

No.. he says because he doesnt have an amp.

anyone else wanna puke.

Hmm, I saw the MU at the LGS and never thought much of it...
As a student is it worth joining (60 quid a year)?
I looked at their benefits of joining but its all gobble dee gook to me..
can someone gimme a quick list of pros of joining.

The insurance looks like a good idea.. i will be taking roughly 1000 pounds of instrument and accessories to Uni with me.

Ciao,

Come va,

E un piacere parlare ad un Italiano.
Da che parte d'Italia viene?


(For the english... Hello, how are you.. its nice to talk to an italian.. which part of italy are you from)

formatting with the manufacturer disks (usually found in dodgy parts of the web) will pretty much guarentee no data can be retrieved.. but im guessin on a pc like this its prob worth buyin a new IDE hard drive cheap.

Haha.. that reminds me of the african guy on fonejacker

"Sir.. their is a pigeon in your bank account. WE need your sort code to get it out.."

Ah cool... i just never knew the in and outs.. cheers

and to think i saw a top of the range server with 100 plus cpu's and somethin like a couple hundred (600 i think) gb ram

wouldnt you love to play minesweeper on that!!!

Heloo

Im prob gonna sound noobish.. but isnt putting a fender decal on a lil bit illegal.

Otherwise... I like it.. wish i still had my original encore

Heloo

RAM is good for performance.. especially with audio. I have built id say around 100+ computers in my time so I know a couple lil tips.

It is as was pointed out best to match ram sticks e.g. 3 x 2gb stick will be faster then mixing random sticks. Its always a good idea to stick to same brand and clock speed as well. Your current sticks should say what they are e.g. DIMM 5200 mhz.. this is the speed of the ram stick. its not a good idea to have random clock speeds on one motherboard as it can impede your RAM speed.

However.. usually its not noticeable. I always buy my ram sticks at the same time so they are the sticks that came off the factroy line one after another to ensure they are similar which gives a lil speed boost. But id say that the actual amount of RAM is more important than pairing.. at which point 4.5 gb is Fine.

Oh and as for headphones.. Sennheiser are my best value choice.

Started on bass,
but i had an old classic lying about the house, and started playin it after about 4 years of playing bass.. mainly Rodrigo Y Gabriela Rythm stuff.
But my basses are my main instruments.. always will be.

Well this should prbably be moved to recording now... just the way the thread has moved
im currently lookin for a usb or firewire sound input 2 in 2 out all i need really (although 4 in would be nice) at around the 100 pound mark.
Im usin intel mac.. so can anyone recommend anything seeing as its damn near impossible to work out which interfaces work on intel macs.

Thanks

well.. how could i have forgot bill... i have great respect for him.. but still not really my taste... im more of a metal player.. although i love a good dabble around in all kinds of music

IMO i-m-r-i-m-r... is very good for triplets but accents too much to keep a balanced 4 notes.. so im learning the method predominantly used by steve di giorgio which is i-m-r-m-i-m-r-m-i and so on...
