Do Park still make cheap amps? They were alright sounding 10w beginner amps.
My people!!!Hey minerdude, I got two gigs coming up where I'll be opening for.....wait for it.....Bang Tango and Faster Pussycat.
I can't wait to see the crowd at these shows. It's gonna be fat balding middle aged rocker dudes that still wear spandex pants and drooping leathery ex-Kelly Bundys that were hot 30 years ago. Awesome!
Awesome man!!!!! I barely even remember Bango Tango so much so that I had to do a search for 'em....still don't really remember 'em, although the first song that came up I kinda remember it...meh...Hey minerdude, I got two gigs coming up where I'll be opening for.....wait for it.....Bang Tango and Faster Pussycat.
Lol...why do you think I grow my hair long dude??? So when I do go bald, I can just flip the back over the top/front....I don't think I'm gonna go bald like my brother did though (thank goodness....lol), he's been pretty much bald since about age 17 or so....While my hairline is receding, it's mostly still there....I can't wait to see the crowd at these shows. It's gonna be fat balding middle aged rocker dudes that still wear spandex pants and drooping leathery ex-Kelly Bundys that were hot 30 years ago. Awesome!
Greg, I got a Spider III 15W as my first amp many years ago. It had a bunch of fun effects that will keep a beginner fascinated for a long time. It has blinking lights too? lol but really it sounded like bees.
My friends all got the cheap Vox modeling amps, which were a better alternative in total.
Awesome man!!!!! I barely even remember Bango Tango
This is my guitar band where I use the 8x10 cabs. Crank Case is in writing/recording mode and on a live hiatus until we find another bass player.Is this the band you're playing with that you use the 8x10 backline cabs??? Or is this the drumming gig with Crank Case???
I'm the wrong guy to ask about that. I will always prefer simple analog pedals over digital rack or floor effects units. Mainly because, say your flanger pedal breaks. Okay that sucks, but it doesn't mean you lose everything else. If your Digitech Zoom POD takes a shit you lose everything. And real pro quality digital effects units can be great, but they're expensive. Send Bubba Po a PM. To my surprise I just found out he's been using a TC Elec Nova or some shit like that and he says it's very good. But if this is just for recording I think you would do best just using plug-ins. It's a lot easier to just drop a flanger plug on a track than it is to set up stereo amps just for a true flanger effect.I'm actually looking for a multi-fx pedal that has chorus, flange, delay, wah, & possibly some 'verb, with some different sounds/models of each fx mentioned all in one unit....I know I just got rid of the POD X3Live, but for me, it was just un-usable because of the tone suck it had....My amps sound great (IMO), so I don't wanna mess with the core/base tone I have, I just want the fx to compliment it....any ideas???? Or do you think I'd be better off getting a handful of individual pedals & making a small pedalboard???
Ok, here's a couple toans from me fucking around just a few minutes ago...Had both the big amps fired up today...Recorded a di along with the DSL track, & just re-amped it through the Chupa with the same mic, mic position & speaker....

allow me to be the first to say that the bridge p'up mounting in a tele is stupid.
Yeah .... it's nice there's no screws in the pickguard but you can't tell where it goes exactly without the pickguard mounted and when the pickguard is on you can't get to the screws to fasten it to the body.
Almost got the git finished though ..... new neck is fine.

yes ..... that would be the only one that's under the pickguard.???
Do you mean the neck pickup?
yeppers ..... I don't know why I called it a bridge p'up since it's the neck p'up other than I'm getting stupid ....... anyways ..... it's a dumb design even though it is pretty with no screws in that guard..Ah right neck pickup it is in then. I was a bit confused cos you said bridge pickup and wasn't exactly sure what you are putting together...
yessir ..... however ..... I'm long since finished so next time I'll know.Try this, make a card or ply template of the body rout for the pickup. Fill the body cavity with foam cut roughly to shape and place the pickguard in place with the template on the foam under the pickguard. You can then mark where the pickup opening is on the template. From that you can mark the position of the screws on the template and transfer them to the bottom of the cavity route....
Make sense..?
went back and looked ..... don't know why I called it a bridge p'up since it's the neck p'up ....... anyways ..... it's a stupid design.
Line 6 Spider amps... I remember the first time I saw one of these. It must have been in about 2002. There were loads of them in the shop and they were selling! I had a go and couldn't believe how bad they were. I remember thinking "oh shit, is this the future of guitar amps?"
