I bought a Warwick corvette std ad little while ago and it was clear when I bought it the owner before me took horrible care of it. The finish was chipping and its playability was nowhere near what it should be. I started attacking the playability problem by tightening the truss rod to lessen...

I agree, the bass definetley needs to be turned down in the mix and I think that will give the song a better feel and put the emphasis back on the vocals. As for the chorus needing something extra, when I heard this current mix (I had to leave the studio early the day we did this) I thought...

This is the second song we have recorded and was hoping to get some opinions on what you guys think. This isa close to done but still a rough mix of the song. We won't be able to finish the song till sometime next year because the studio we record at recently bought out "The Studio" in...

I own an Ibanez Sr300, honestly I like its neck more than my Warwick Corvette's. I don't think I'll ever be able to sell it, amazing sounding bass for only $300

Just picked up a 2006 Warwick Corvette for $425 with a hardcase off craigslist. Only problem is a busted nut and some scratches. The way the nut broke makes it still playable till i get a new one though! It sounds amazing and plays great, in the process of setting it up to my liking now! All...

Diiw, Thanks for the compliments. Our singer has never taken any lessons but he is going to start soon so after he gets a bit more polished he should sound great. groovingrover32, Unfortunetly we weren't to involved with the physical equipment. We went to a recording studio so they took...

We Just finished recording our first song "Look Over Your Shoulder" For this being everyone's first time recording and all of us being 17-18 I think it turned out pretty well. If we had a few more hours I would adjust a few things (Bass volume slightly higher :D) but over all I'm satisfied...

I have a few questions about how different cabs stack up and was hoping I could get some help because my search didn't turn up much. I currently am using a Peavey max 115 which, while it is great for practice, at 60 watts doesn't have the power I need so I'm looking for a new head and cab...

I did some searching on the topic and found a few threads but wanted some new opinions. I can get them both used for around $290 + shipping. I usually use two simple tones, a deep low bass tone or I'll turn down the lows a bit for a punchy mid sound, but not grindy. Right now I'm playing an...

Thanks for the quick replies. It seems that the 11/32" arauco isn't in stock at the lowes near me. Whats better about it just the build quality? Is it lighter or anything?

Did you use plywood similiar to this: http://milo.com/plytanium-1132-x-4-x-8-bc-sanded-plywood I'm pretty much looking for the lightest but still strong plywood to get weight close to the barefaced compact any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I also looked at zaclites composite build...

So I've been looking to buy/build a cab for awhile now and I'm very interested in a fearful or barefaced. My question is how are barefaced so light? Besides using neo drivers I found that they use "dual density plywood". I couldn't find any info on it so does anyone know what it is and if its...

I'm attempting to record through my Lexicon Alpha with an SM57 copy but when ever I plug in the mic I get an AWFUL buzz and it doesn't record. If I plug directly into the Alpha via instrument cable it records fine. I bought the XLR cable today so I can't see how it could be broken already...

So I've been reading and searching for what ways there are to record and I'm quite confused on what to use. From what I've gathered there are 3 option to record: 1.DI box to Preamp into the computer 2.Micing the amp 3. running into a sound interface or micing the amp from the sound interface...
