    Guitar sale.

    Anyone here from LA that was able to check out this sale over the weekend. I was unable to get over there. Don't see how they could do it unless they were charging list price, or higher, on everything. *** West L.A. Music Special Sale Event Notice *** 1-Cent Guitar and Bass Sale Where: West...

    Ibanez Tube Screamer

    I've got the fourty dollar one and it "screams" like a bitch. How does it compare with the hundred seventy dollar "retro" one? Does it "scream" 130$$$ better? :confused: I guess if I was playing to stadiums full of Clear Channel ticket buyers this wouldn't be an issue, but I'm not, so I ask.

    Johnny Cash: American Recordings III: Solitary Man

    How and what mic(s) is he using on his acoustic guitar(I believe it's a Martin)? The sound is so stunningly brilliant and crystal clear.

    Just picked one up a used one today for $150 at GC's Labor Day sale. I'll be using it to replace my ailing Porta One which I bought in 1986 and made many recordings on up through the early '90's.

    The Next Great Guitar Sale?

    Remember the DeArmond blowouts? I missed the boat on that one. Remember the Fender $100 rebate PLUS 100 Fender Gear Bucks(or, whatever they called them) PLUS GC's $100 off?

    Tom Petty on "Soundstage"

    Anyone catch this concert on KCET last night? What an amazing collection of vintage and new guitars the band cycles through! Some nice looking amps, too. Those guys have great taste. Mike Campbell played a green Rickenbacker mandolin on one tune. Looks like a miniature 300 series Rick. Pretty cool.

    Lyric writing tip #1

    Listen to movie soundtracks(the instrumental scores, not songs). Especially soundtracks to movies you haven't seen before or haven't seen in a long time and don't recall every scene. Get out your pen and notebook and start writing down whatever comes to your mind.
