    Please shrink FM3

    My only concern is the weight, not the size. It is built like a tank and, well, heavy as a tank. Since I use it mostly as a backup unit or when I go to jams I would like a lightweight version.

    Monitors suggestion

    I once tried the K&H 120s that are now Neumann´s. No way I would have bought them without a sub. So I ended up with larger used Adam´s P11 that were great, but because I wanted more low end I bought Adam´s P33 and sold the P11´s. Big mistake, should have kept the 11´s as well. In short, I like...

    Gibson LP 58 RI - Tuners

    FWIW I replaced the original tuners on my R9 with Gotoh locking tuners that had the identical look from the front side. While the guitar did not stay in tune perfectly afterwards it improved tuning stability by approx. 50%. Nonetheless I sold the guitar in the meantime, just didn´t bond with it.
