The X3 Live is USB 2, and should be okay. That said, I haven't tried mine out yet for live recording because my studio comp isn't connected to the internet and Line 6 wants you to do all the installation poo poo while connected.

Yep, just tried monitoring and playing through the X3 Live using Sonar, and there was no noticeable latency.

EEK! Am I too late? Ahem... My friend has one (but red, because red always sounds better) and I've had a chance to play it through the same stack I play my Fender Jazz Deluxe through. Honestly? Sound about the same. The weight and feel is a bit different though. I think having a Fender J with active pickups so i have the 3 tone control on the guitar gives me pretty much the same options. That said, I think its a drat sweet looking guitar, but the guys earlier are 1/2 right. If you're some show-boat prick, it'll add to that look. But if you're a laid back bass player, it can look drat sweet too. To me, its one of those things that can make you look real good... or REEEEEAL bad.

Agreed posted:Well, I'm a Sennheiser nerd from the headphones angle (HD650 represent), and I really, really like the design of the mic, so I definitely want to pick one up as soon as cashflow allows. Think you'll be selling yours eventually, or is it one of those mics that's always good to have around even when replaced? Nope, its one I am going to be hanging on to. Anyways, the 441 is like 900 bucks so thats not in my near future.

Does anybody know of an online resource with in-depth neck pocket measurements for Fender Jazzmasters and Stratocasters? I wanna build a Strat with a JM neck, but want to make sure it's going to work before I go all out and start buying parts.

A bit of craigslist shopping today netted me (no camera ATM, so no pics): KMD RP-150A PA Amp Casio CT-607 keyboard (wonky power socket, figure I could resolder the connector and then circuit bend the poo poo out of it) Internals to a 1971 Carvin B1600 Bass Master amp head (dunno why the guy removed it from the cabinet. He said it works fine, but for some reason it isn't grounding properly) All for $50 Also for $50: Korg N5 Synthesizer

Strat & Jazzmaster necks are interhangeable (same pocket shape & scale length) - as mentioned, the difference is in the headstock shape (slightly longer/larger), board radius (always 7.25"; some new Strats are flatter) and nut dimension (a few mm narrower).

It should, yes. I've only run into CIJ/MIA mismatches with things like pickguards and bridge holes, etc - the neck swaps I've done have been fine.

You jerk. I want that. Craigslist sucks in my county (Ventura County). Pretty much everyone selling their poo poo asks for a crazy unreasonable price. I mean, come the gently caress on. The bluebook value for that guy's guitar is $1800 if it's in absolutely flawless condition. Nobody here EVER prices poo poo to move it. It always seems to be (1) the person doesn't know the value of what they have or they have some idea (2) they severely overestimate the value of what they have (they think if they barely use something, it's worth pretty much the same as it cost them new) and (3) they refuse to go lower. You never ever come across poo poo for great deals. Los Angeles, on the other hand, has crazy good deals, and it seems like 200 new listings are posted for the Musical Instrument section daily. The drives can suck, though.

Just curious, what do you get out of a photo (I assumed that by "physically" that's what you meant) which you can't see in a diagram? I always find it harder to tell what's going on in actual photos, even when they're a good resolution. Hopefully you can find something better than what I did

Much more aggressive and growly, tighter low end...sound a lot like the Nordstrands single coils I have in my Jazz, but "bigger." Normally when a pickup gets bigger sounding it loses that depth and growl though, and these certainly don't. The Barts were pillowy and polite compared to these...couldn't be happier. (These are the Nordstrand Big Singles, by the way.) So now do I go 100% Nordstrand and throw a PJ set into my Fender P-Special?

Col.Kiwi posted:Oh, okay. I was able to find this: http://www.grguitars.com/Parts_5Tele%20replmnt.htm which has a photo of a pre-wired Esquire control plate (just a little down the page). The photo isn't that big unfortunately but I couldn't find anything else. The Esquire has like three capacitors wired together in a circle and another one off somewhere else doing its own thing, so I'm looking to see how short the lead wires from each cap should be cut to so they aren't touching any of the other components and shorting something somewhere, or whether there was some shrink tubing involved or whatnot. I'm no pro solderer and I don't wanna mess this up and have to buy another $50 capacitor kit and I don't wanna take it into a tech. Thanks for your help though. Also slightly more on topic I'm trading the Seymour Duncan STKT2 Stack I had in the bridge of my Tele (which was great for chunk, but piss-poor for slide) for a Duncan JB model full sized humbucker for my black '51 with someone on the Harmony Central forum, and I'll be using a Samarium Cobalt noiseless pickup in the Esquire configuration if I can find screws that fit the three pickup screwholes.

Engine Fortegue posted:drat that's pretty. What is it? It's (allegedly) the best field recorder money can buy. I bought the surround-sound unit Almost every high-end remote recording made for any major motion picture in the past 5 years was done on one of these. They're made of milled stainless, the LED's are made of tempered glass, and all the knobs are milled steel as well. The mic pre-amps & converters are incredible, it runs off a sony handycam battery, has a 300gig drive (upgraded) inside and there's every interface you'll ever need incl firewire and a flashcard slot. One of the coolest features is the way it records everything simultaneously to the flashcard while it's spooling to the drive, just in case something goes apeshit during production, you have 2 copies. you can also gang any number of them together and word-lock, while the master unit takes wireless timecode from the cameras. During a shoot, the cameraman could actually remote control the pre-roll start and stop on these, assuming you have the intermediate hardware. here's a *night-shot* ooooooooo das horny lights  here's a link to the Sound Devices blurb: http://www.sounddevices.com/products/744t.htm and here's the link to what I'd like to plug into it: http://www.soundfield.com/products/products.php I also eat a lot of kraft dinner btw

The bakelite pickguard for the Esquire conversion came in, looks good. Also traded my BF-3 for one of these:  Albiet in a lot worse condition, it's the black screw MIJ model with the C in CE-2 under the R in "Chorus" if that tells you anything. And the battery compartment screw is metal and has a screwdriver slot. And the battery connector is broken.  It sounds so nice...

The Novation Remote I ordered just came in today. It's pretty awesome so far. I mostly wanted it for controlling stuff in Reason and Live. The whole automap deal is pretty nice and the presets are all relatively logical so I haven't had to mess around too much with programming it yet. And there are enough buttons that paging through all the controls doesn't ever get too confusing. With the little ramp doodads that attach to the bottom, it meshes up with my axiom very comfortably. I think I'm going to figure a way to have the controls on the keyboard set permanently to the software mixer and then use the Remote for controlling everything else.

I plan on getting a ZT Lunchbox when it comes out this coming spring: That's the actual size (7" x 8" x 4"), and it's made out of an actual lunchbox. The little bastard puts out over 200 watts at over 120 decibels. At $200, I don't give a gently caress how it sounds, that's just too cool in my book.

Mex posted:Speaking of small amps, has anyone tried a pignose? How do they sound? Which Pignose are you talking about exactly? They make a few different ones. I have the original travel Pignose and it's a sweet little bitch. I wouldn't recommend buying it to fill any real use; it's not up to really filling any NEEDS a musician will have. But it's a nice little thing if you have your setup in one place and you just want to go play guitar on the back porch or whatever. The sound they put out is best for dirty blues and moderate rock (think AC/DC-levels of distortion, maximum). The pignose creates one of my favorite blues tones. quote:I saw the press release on Harmony Central this afternoon. When I saw the specs, the first words out of my mouth were "gently caress. ME. RUNNING." Yeah. It seems like they've demo'd the amps with musicians that seem to like them. Seriously, though. $200. That price point has me stoked.

Mex posted:Speaking of small amps, has anyone tried a pignose? How do they sound? I've got one of the Little Pignose 700's and it's very much a dirty little blues amp. The thing I like about it is you can vary the sound so much just by opening it up. One of the best sounds I've gotten from it was sitting on my bathroom bench with the back opened towards the mirror. Sweet bluesy reverb. Better with single coils than humbuckers. If I had a mic I'd do some sound clips.

So is there a difference between solid state wattage and tube wattage? Because I see very high wattages for some solid state combos. Are they just really that loud? Does that lunchbox shake while it goes? That'd be awesome.
