https://soundcloud.com/otherdog/flyingmonkease-cover-stooges-ineedsomebody Here's my band the Flying Monkease (what's left of it - me and the singer) covering Iggy and the Stooges "I need somebody". I managed to con a real drummer in to playing drums for us -- our last regular drummer moved to...

This is my friend Chris Lively again on vocals and guitar - with a guest violinist (details on the soundcloud page) and actually me on bass. My first time recording a violin - she's an excellent player and was really easy to work with. I used the everything and the kitchen sink approach using...

I messed around with micing my Fender amp making cleaner sounds today for quite awhile, and ultimately discovered that a condenser microphone backed off a foot and a half or so (or more) is doing what I was trying to do with a bunch of different dynamics. Here's something (with bass and drums -...

Here are some clips from my new-to-me Deluxe Reverb. I used the "Normal" input #1, and adjusted the volume and tone controls for it. The Reverb (on the other channel, but still affects the "normal" channel for some reason) was all the way down. I played my Gibson SG Supreme on the bridge 57...

I made one quick recording but didn't like it - bad mic position, I think. I'll do better and post soon. I took out the reverb tank and discovered it was brand new - I think the bag it was in had a wrinkle in the bottom that was pushing the spring assembly up against the top of the tank...

The amp in the foreground is not loud. The amps in the background are loud. (sorry, Greg's not here - somebody's gotta do it)

Here's the speaker - not my finest photography, but hopefully you can see it Edit - after some web searching it looks like maybe this is an Oxford ceramic? Nobody's favorite apparently but so far it seems consistent with being the original speaker. Lots of info out there - wow - it will take...

Tomorrow's my 25th wedding anniversary (we get started real young down here in the southern usa), and I got my wife a new vehicle that's sort of silver in color because it's the "silver jubilee", and she asked what I wanted... She doesn't know the difference between a silver face and a black...

With Gerg away, someone's gotta keep up the stooges riffs, so I'll step up: Someone on another forum recommended the AKG D1000E dynamic microphone is being good for distorted guitar and I reflexively went to ebay and ordered one (for like $30). This clip is a SG Supreme with 57 classics...

The NS1 plugin, along with some others, is on sale at the moment Automatic Noise Suppression Plugin – NS1 | Waves In my experience, this plug is really useful - especially for tracks that have hiss.

Just picked up this bad boy at the local Salvation Army: It's a Technics SX-PX-55M. I think all Technics keyboards went out of production 10 years ago, and this could easily be 20 years old. If it breaks, I'm screwed. But... It all works! All the keys, all the other buttons, the speakers...

it's been too long since we've had highland bagpipes here and I'm afraid you're all turning into softies. So: This is my son - I guess 5 years ago. I just ran it through some outboard equipment and put some reverb on it.

OK - as promised, here are some clips with the modded black russian 'Murica' Muff. I played through the clean channel not very loud on my orange amp (OR100 with V30s in a 4x12) with the treble and bass knobs at about noon and then clicked on the muff, then repeated the riff. I did my best to...

on the topic of fuzz (or at least the way I understand it), this might be a good time to disclose a long running project of mine: This is a black russian big muff - I think I bought it from a HR BBS user in the classifieds many years ago. It was a real tone sucker when it was stock (whether...

Yeah - it's all could get out of him that day - he was sort of purring and cracking up when I held him up the mic. We'll have to talk. And thanks!!! Also, I'm hearing it about the xylophone sound now. It's funny how misplaced pride can cause sub-optimal mixing decisions: I was so proud of...

in between projects, so my cat and I have the studio to ourselves. Neither of us can sing - I couldn't get him to take it seriously, anyway.

that's really cool lookn Bob - that's a Gibson with gibson single coils? I still have the one in my picture - it's much newer than the amp - 2004 ("Your guitar was made at the Nashville Plant, TN, USA July 1st, 2004 Production Number: 256 ") It's a SG Supreme - I consider it my primary...

my first amp (1985): my second amp (1986) (guitar came much later): the first amp sucked so profoundly that I went and took out a loan to buy the second amp. It helped that I had a good friend with a Marshall Mosfet that I didn't like, so I figured I had to go for the reach. Bussed a lot...

I recently got a staple gun (initially to make bass traps - worked out well) and so I decided to swap the grill cloth on my Blues Jr. I have been trying to make myself like this amp for about 10 years. I did pretty much all the billm mods (including the power supply related ones, but I'm...

So today is my birfday and my wife took me to the guitar store. I'm not gonna lie, I was hoping for a new guitar - I was crushing on some Mexican Jaguars, but they they didn't really have a good color, and my finance committee (i.e. wife) wasn't really into spending that much. So I walked...
