    The New Tone Thread

    I've been MIA for a few weeks but I did want to chime in and say: Minerman I listened to it a bunch of times and was playing some slide along with it. Really cool stuff Bubba Love the guitar tones and the vocals seem nice and out front. Great job. JDude I like it, especially the reggae break...

    The New Tone Thread

    I just have to say, I can NEVER have enough gear. I can't help it, I love having music gear around me. And I'm not currently seeking any professional help, either. :D And now, from my gig on July 4th. This was recorded using the XR18 board, connected via USB to my laptop and straight into...

    The New Tone Thread

    I have lots of guitars and around 10 amps. I can't help it, I love this shit. Still looking to get a Fender Deluxe Reverb, Fender Vibrolux, Fender Super Reverb, Vox AC 15, Vox AC30 and some Marshalls at some point.

    I can't wait to try out my new pedal. I think this one will really make a difference in my tone! :laughings::laughings::laughings:

    The New Tone Thread

    I bought one of those in the early 90's for $200. This one: Still have it, but hardly ever use. I can't stand shredder neck and the Kahler Tremelo which sucks. Doesn't sound bad, though. Maybe I should sell the fucker. Just saw an '85 in White on Reverb going for $1500. Mine's an '84. And...

    The New Tone Thread

    As threatened, here's a couple of tunes from our last gig. We played a small club, no stage, no lights or pa, no amenities (other than booze and food). Here's a pic of the setup: This was the opening song. My lead tone starts around 4:15. My Fool SG made it to the first tune of the second set...

    Rare Photos

    Back on track, here's a pic of (l-r) Kenny Gradney (b), Paul Barrere (g), Robert Plant, Richie Hayward (d) and Bill Payne (k). Everyone you don't know are members of Little Feat. After Lowell George died (and Richie recovered from yet another motorcycle accident) Richie moved to England and...

    Custom SG build

    So I finally got everything back and brought it out to a gig. Ended up changing the pots again because I couldn't stand the taper. The enamel finish (the actual artwork was hand painted in enamel and then oversprayed with clear enamel) is still a bit tacky and holy hell is the '57 Classic (in...

    Help Identifying this acoustic guitar

    Anyone have any idea what kind of guitar this is? A buddy of mine was loaded and got talked into paying $100 for this (I think he got ripped off, and so does he btw). I told him to buy a set of strings and leave it around the house for when the grand kids come over and they can play it. But I...

    new amp day! Fender Deluxe Reverb!

    I can't speak highly enough of the Princeton. I use one for almost everything live now. Roll back the volume on the guitar and nice and clean, roll up the volume and there's wonderful breakup. Throw a tube screamer or a blues driver in front and now you've got some added volume. And they mic...

    Camera Freaks, this is your thread!

    Thanks rfalcon! Way to take care of things. I've been very fortunate these last bunch of years (including a couple of good friends that are incredible photographers). Some of their chops have rubbed off on me. I really like taking live music shots and occasionally I get a real nice one. Here I...
