    My wife plays an Electromatic Jr. It was her main bass for the last 10 years. We did some shows in LA and guys with vintage Fender P basses wanted to play through her rig. Today she plays a Jackson Megadeth Pedophile P/J bass she really loves, but the Gretsch is a winner. Cost $242 out the door...

    Any of you familiar with Harley Benton Guitars?

    I don't know if this helps. But when l bought my StarCaster acoustic from Sam's Club. They had a display out and a $35 clearance tag. I told the girl l want one, and she went into the back and brought one and took it to the register. I didn't get to see or play it until l took it home. I was...

    Except your honest about it! And 99% of people cannot tell the difference between anything, especially when it comes to strings. I use the cheapest strings possible and leave them on until they break. After an hour l can't tell any strings apart. When l pick up a new or strange guitar. I don't...

    Any of you familiar with Harley Benton Guitars?

    You are absolutely right. 90% of sound, acoustic or electric is in the neck. Which means the fingers / player. The other 10% is mostly pickups and setup. The humbucker single coil thing. High action and heavy strings give better tone, light strings low action give playability. I had to put brand...

    There is nothing wrong with cheap Chinese acoustic guitars. Here l am playing a Fender Starcaster acoustic l bought at Sam's Club for $35. It was kind of a clearance but full price was $70. I worked on the saddle and had to dress a few frets but that was it. A friend brought over his brand new...

    Youtube okay, or seen as self-promotion?

    Here is one of our YouTube videos. But we didn't make it for self promotion. That was shot in 2011. The girls didn't even know the song yet. Christina the drummer was still just trying to get a feel for what we were doing. This clip wasn't trying to show off or sell something. But we wanted to...

    Now our law firm used to specialize in entertainment law. People say your full of crap your story makes no sense. Well maybe it doesn't. Why did l spend all that money going to law school to never take the bar and become a lawyer? Well it's like this. I'm a musician first, and lawyers lead...

    Youtube okay, or seen as self-promotion?

    I kind of just answered that question on another thread. But lan Hill of Judas Priest and l had a long talk about that years ago. And the answer is no. I get quarterly royalty payments from BMG and BMI but l don't consider myself a professional at all. Streaming services are kind of in a grey...

    CD Baby?

    I have a fair number of albums l recorded over the last 40 years. None of which have ever been released. We were signed with Mercury Records in 1975 but l was under 21 and the label wanted my dad's signature, but he refused. Huey Meaux tried to save the record deal by me playing on top of...

    Youtube okay, or seen as self-promotion?

    Self promotion used to be a vile thing, but it doesn't matter anymore. That was from back in the days where everyone but you was making money off your work. They set it up so that only managers could do booking etc, and take a cut to make a living. And managers were mostly vile nasty people...

    Decoding DBX Tapes

    That is how we recorded our first 3 albums. No board at all. Sounds great to this day.

    Here is another example of that First Act where you can see and hear it real good. The 3 of us were trashed the night we recorded this. Kind of our take on King Crimson "21st Century Schizoid Man. Nothing wrong with that guitar tone. Just a slab of wood with a neck on it. The HB sounds...

    Any of you familiar with Harley Benton Guitars?

    Here is an example of me playing a box stock $90 First Act model 537. All l did was adjust the action. We are playing one of my original instrumental compositions. But l was able to pull off my hardest fastest licks as easily as could have done on any other guitar at any price. The volume is...

    CD Baby?

    Oh and before you ask, the LAPD confiscated her weed because it's like alcohol. You can't bring alcohol onto the bus either. So she has her weed she just bought on her lap in plain sight, and the f*cking bus driver calls the cops. The driver stops and 2 pigs get on the bus and confront her, and...

    CD Baby?

    I think CD Baby is a great resource, but l don't know anyone that ever made any money off it. I think if you want to make money in music, the only way is by using Satan. You know the demon. The good old fashioned way, selling your soul. It worked for Bob Dylan and Billy Gibbons, but l really...

    CD Baby?

    I never got to use CD Baby. Had friends that were pretty happy with it though. I have been attached to a major label record company since 1975. And trust me those contracts are more of a curse. Wish we still had a product you could hold in your hand.

    Any of you familiar with Harley Benton Guitars?

    I play Frankenstein Peavey Raptor guitars l put together. Have no more than $40 invested in any one of them. On a lucky sale l might be able to get maybe $20 each? Pawn shops won't touch them. But l played a few HB guitars l thought about buying. They didn't suck. Pretty much every Gibson or...

    Explaining “what style of music do you write?”

    I write music to drive away Demons and clear everyone out of a room at a party. Truth! As a result l have no more than probably 1, 2 or 3 fans. Hey Baby Que Paso doesn't count because Ke Pa So was Augie's idea, he asked me to write it, then changed most of the words. Welcome to the world of the...
