    My 705 is perfect for my amateur home music studio. I am finding it hard not to get overwhelmed with all the possibilities. I planning on redoing a couple of projects and use the 705. I have noticed the D string being a louder than the others when modeling the 1949 Kay M-1. Has anyone...

    Gold Membership Payment Options

    This may not be a bug, but the length of subscription, 1 year, appears for all Gold Membership payment options: $60, $80, and $100 dollars. If the length of subscription is the same for each amount, what are the differences in service for each payment option?
