Latest recording up

My version of the Lindsey Buckingham/Fleetwood Mac classic "Never Going Back Again". Played on my 1987 Collector's Edition, pure mic'ed. Left channel was picked up by a matched pair of Behringer C2 condensor mics placed 12" apart, with one pointed at the soundholes and the other at the 12th fret, both about 12" from the guitar. The right channel was picked u… Continue

Input Jack for the solid body viper electric

I have a mint 1980 all mahogany viper electric,and notice that the input jack is very tight.Also,I have seen many vipers on ebay with cracked pickguards right where the jack is.Did Ovation have a run of ill fitting jacks for the viper..I guess I will replace it when I shake the lazies..I can safely use a cheap lead,but my nice tight fitting expensive leads will probably not come out once theyre in....any comments are appreciated..

My Favorite Locked Thread

With threads getting locked on the OFC, I (and it's not an original idea) thought it would be interesting to see what threads have been locked for inappropriate content that people really like. Post a link to the thread and tell us why you really like it. Give it your best shot people...... Continue

Down The Road

Most nights I sit alone, wondering where you’ve gone. I haven’t even been drinking and the irish maudlin comes out. I came over to this ning site, figuring it’s someplace where I can hang and just be myself and not worry about having to conform to some preconceived notions placed upon my by people with whom I really haven’t connected yet. Not that I won’t ever … but just like some unnamed political party, I ain’t gonna buy into your philosophy and onto your bandwagon just because you have decide… Continue

How To Write A Commendable GCSE Coursework?

Coursework writing is really not a peanut as I took it in the beginning when I was assigned a college coursework. It was really tough to find coursework help, even online coursework help. But you know internet is a magical world, sooner or later you come to the right place. So did I when I started searching online coursework help. But it took a lot of time of mine to find the exact material for writing my college coursework. It is very essential to have the correct guidelines for writing… Continue

Added another song ^^

Well hey everyone! Today I tried out my new ZOOM H4N - Digital Recorder. I used the internal stereo-mics to record my (horrible) voice and the Folklore Deluxe in combination. The song I am singing is "16 Tons" by Merle Travis. In Germany we sing a translation (actually the text is completely different) of this song at my scout group very often, but I thought the original version suits better here ;) In first line it's just a "recording-test" so please ignore that I've f**** up several times (e… Continue

Void of Ovation..... for Now

A couple of months ago, I sold off two of my Ovations.. Concert Classic 1116 and 97 Collectors Edition. Both were sold to An Aussie working here. Since then I've been Ovation-free. Not that I no longer wants Ovation, but I'm waiting for the right piece to come along. Good things come to those who wait, I believe. In the interim, I got myself a Goodall Standard, and Larrivee L-10 on top of my Yamaha LL-16 and Larrivee D03-R. So I can afford to wait for a good priced Ovation. Continue

Have ADAMAS I would like info on it's current dollar value

We bought my adamas I in 1985. It is truly an amazing instrument, and would never consider selling it at any cost. The one problem with this 12-string is that the battery chamber is nearly impossible to access very quickly should the battery die or become weak.If I have to change the battery it is a real hassle. It is in mint condition, and has an unusually beautiful face; a creme colorered top surface, with a greyish-blue tint airbrushed in the center. I know they sell for over $4,000.00, but t… Continue
