[quote name='karlfer' post='1274986' date='Jun 19 2011, 05:26 PM']Bummer you got a rough one. Most folk who've had HW1's seem to have really liked them. Fender eh . Good luck, Karl.[/quote] Must of been the last one at the end of a hard day at work! i sorted out though, in the end it was fine. i do wonder if the really are 'USA made"... oh well! cheers

[quote name='karlfer' post='1274060' date='Jun 18 2011, 07:50 PM']It's got a case, which is far from standard. I would personally contact and tell him, "if you ever decide you will accept £420 for it , cash, collected,would you give me a call please"? Probably worth that now I would think. As ever, it's down to how many people looking at it, and how desperate he is to sell. Good luck, Karl.[/quote] i think i might wait for a roughed up real USA std, My HW1 jazz, was no better that a squire come to think of it... 4 pieces of odd alder, overhanging frets, and the pick ups were wired back to front.... yeah you heard! terrible! i love the finish though plus the the USA stamp is worth its weight in gold, not like a stamp is heavy;' oh well haha!

[quote name='karlfer' post='1273544' date='Jun 18 2011, 10:42 AM']Think the last second hand one in great condition went for £380 on here. Second hand value on Fenders generally does not seem to be keeping up with the big price increase on new ones, that we have seen this year (IMO). Makes 2nd hand even better value. I had a first series Highway 1 and it was probably the best value (and playing! ) USA Fender Jazz I have owned. Good luck whatever. Karl.[/quote] [url="http://m.gumtree.com/v?adId=76400224"]http://m.gumtree.com/v?adId=76400224[/url] This is what I was thinking of . Might be a bit high I suppose! Might ask him for a haggle! Ah. Cheers man.

Lets say new (as new), might be getting one, i know they used to be £499, but shot up. there resale value gone up too? Thanks!

[quote name='charic' post='1272073' date='Jun 16 2011, 08:33 PM']I'm currently looking into researching microphone specifications and was wondering if anyone knew of anywhere where I could get frequency responses and polar patterns as datatables? Rather than trying to interpret graphs. Any help appreciated at this point in time. Cheers, Rik[/quote] What application are you wanting to record?

thanks guys!

The acoustics of your rooms are very important, so if you have a horrible sounding room then your in trouble! studio monitors are designed to have a flat response over the whole FQ range. although this is not always the case, and there is not really a 'flat' (all monitor do have a slight harmonic characteristic to them) if that makes sense.... Reference is a key word. you need to know how your monitors sound inside out, (play your fave album over and over) your effectively referencing against the existing available material. as well as ruling out unwanted FQ within the individual sounds, ie, taking anything under 200k away from a guitar as that may be a nasty bassy hum, which is not want you want competing with your bass FQ. (very layman's terms) Headphones are for tracking your stereo field initially and monitoring high pressure sounds, ei a Kick drum, although if your studio is lovely and nice sounding i think think your need them much in the mixing process The stereo field on headphones is very lets say 'exaggerated', and most listener will be experiencing the music on HI FI speakers, which will be complimenting the sound, and sweetening! dont use hi fi speakers for monitoring! Headphones.... IF YOU WANT TO MIX ETC ON HEADPHONES... try this...

FYI is for MASTERING ENGINEERS! its a black art and the finest producer don't master there own music! you can sent your compleate mixes to RAK EMI [url="http://rakmastering.com/"]http://rakmastering.com/[/url] hope this helps.

The american specials are the new HW1's... but without the handy graphite neck rods, baddass bridge and nitro finish! and they cost loads more! Cheers fender! anyone else find that a bit of a rip off?

I hope no one bids!
