I'm about to order a Precision body that's going to hold a couple of soapbars and I'm not sure yet if I'd go for the standard neck and bridge locations or that I route the cavities myself with the option of customizing the exact location of the route. I've done a fair share of routing in the...

The moment that I saw it was a Rammstein video I just knew it was harmless. It's all tongue in cheek.

The 421 is a great mic. I used to own a dozen mics but sold most of them since I haven't recorded anything in years. But I kept my pair of 421's (and a 441) just in case I ever start recording again.

An decent LDC is definitely nice to have. BUT! I wouldn't go that route unless you have a room that's decently treated and soundproofed. LDC's are in general incredibly sensitive and will pick up more than you wish for if you don't have a proper room. If that's the case I'd rather look for a...

Your new job sounds like an awesome opportunity (I love aviation). Congrats on that!

Please, again. This is an EU offer. Which makes total sense by the way since UW has quite a few european members. You really shouldn't compare prices one on one with what's in the showcase. You have to add a lot of extra dough in shipping and taxes before it hits Europe so other rules apply...

Awesome. If you ever come and tour Belgium, who knows, I may even come and watch. Antwerp is only an hour away. On a side note: As a rule I try to limit comments in dutch to an absolute minimum. I take pride in people not noticing that english isn't my first language. :-) That may not always...

Excellent advice. My main axe has a Squier body and a Warmoth neck too. And 4 or 5 strings? I've played bass for 19 years now. Started on 4, switched to 5 after a few years but two years or so ago I went back to mainly 4, just because it feels better to me. It's all about preference.

A couple of years ago I litterally bumped into Jan Akkerman in a music store (voted best guitarist in the world by UK magazine Melody Maker before I was even born).

I voted Engineer/Architect. I work in IT as a systems engineer. Being hired for periods of usually 1-9 months I've seen a lot of different companies from the inside the last 10 years. Government, research, education, senior care, advertising, car industry, pharmaceutical industry, law. While...

It's 2012 here in Europe. Happy new year to you all!

I feel like I've gained 25lbs this year (not sure, I haven't dared to touch the scale for months) but that's another thing. Something to deal with in 2012. Good riddance to bandlife. I quit my band a couple of weeks ago and while the other members are wonderful people, we weren't on the same...

We need full frontal pics. Or it doesn't exist.

That's awesome! Congrats to all of you. My daughter is 5 months old now. I remember very well checking if she was indeed a girl right after she popped out. During the ultrasound they said more or less: "It's a girl, I think. Yes, I'm pretty sure" which didn't sound very convincing and we only...

I see you're from Germany. A good place to start for your parts then is www.banzaimusic.com. They're based in Germany. I've used them a couple of times (I'm in The Netherlands). Once I emailed them about a part that didn't appear to be stocked by any european reseller but they were able to get...
