L.R. Baggs Anthem Installation in a GS Mini

Hey everyone, I was showing this to James Roadman on the Loothalong, and I thought I’d share it here with anyone who might find it helpful. I was installing an Anthem in a GS Mini, and I couldn’t get the microphone to fit without hitting the ballends of the strings. I had thought about placing the mic on the other side of the pins, but then I decided to use a scalpel and a small file to cut some chamfers into the corners of the mic housi…

Looking for Looth Feedback

Hey Everyone! I have been messing around with a program that Ian introduced me to called "FarPlay". It is similar to zoom but designed for playing music together. In prototyping it I have made some discoveries, particularly that you need a really solid internet connection. Wifi seems doable but causes the most problems. If enough people were interested I am imagining two different ways it could be fun for us. The first would be…

Followup from today’s program with Giuliano

Ian - that was some really interesting stuff he presented today. I plunked down the $ for his book and will be picking up the recommended USB microphone- oh, some oregano too. So here’s the suggestion: maybe every broadcast/recorded program should have a thread for q and a and discussion. I assume you would want to start a new section an populate it with all of the programs in advance - yeah, we love making busy work for you. And I am rea…

Yup - like a forum thread. But they would all reside in a separate section.
