Is that what people use a Rat for? I use the one I bought in 1985 witht eh first knob set at like 8 or 9 o'clock, the middle knob at 12 o'clock and the right knob at about 3 o'clock. Just gives a bit of sustain and sounds "turned up". I never really liked the sound of it with the distortion...

Me, too. I have to admit, I thought the paint looked a little dodgy and the edges of the body a little sharp. But I was totally blown away by the homemade bridge. Is it cynical of me to think that it photographed well, but it wasn't really as functional as we fantasize it to be? You ever...

This is admittedly a stupid question. In CEP, I have a masterpiece with 20+ tracks. But track 8 was a bass track I ended up not using. I have removed the block, but track 8 is still sitting there right in the middle taking up display space. Can you remove a track's "row" from CEP? Can you...

In my experience, even shitty tubes sound OK for high gain. I was interested in higher clean headroom and that was where I saw the big difference in tubes. I bought the three grades of tube sets from eurotubes (I think) before the economy went to shit and I started packing my lunch again...

I have an old univox short-scale jazz copy. My brother played it when we were kids. I tried to record with it and it was buzzing like crazy. I took off the control plate and there was no ground wire going to the lug on the jack. It just grounded by the control plate. I added a normal ground...

I have a mic cable that I love and have had for probably 15 years. I trained it when I first got it and it practically rolls itself up and hardly ever tangles. until 2 weeks ago. I played a wednesday night gig with another guy and he helped me tear down. I don't know what the hell he did to...

There is something to this. I hardly ever gig with my fender strat. I have an epi es-295 that I play mostly becuause everyone thinks it's something special. However, when I've played important gigs like in pit orchestras or when i played on a live radio broadcast, I brought my strat. It's...

If I had the budget for a les paul, I'd shop around and get a tele and a strat and be very happy. But I just get the vibe that you are a les paul man. Dunno why. Maybe I'm psychic.

I have a Kramer focus neck from 1984 and I have been told by alot of players that they really like it. I bought the guitar new but never liked the liposuction strat body shape. I used the neck for another project. I wouldn't pay a premium for one, but if it was cheaper than a new neck, it...

If your drummer can stay locked in with the loops then he must be the greatest drummer in the world. Hell, most can't even play with the click track blaring in their headphones.

I saw a few of them lined up at GC several months ago and I admit that they were slightly cooler than I thought they'd be. But what was weird was the uniformity of the wear. Each one of them had the exact same dings in them in the same place on the body. To be perfectly honest, if I were...

Every time I've ever played with a drummer with a small set, everyone was was amazed at his musicianship and impressed with his chops. Every time I've played with a drummer with a large kit, everyone in the band complained that he took up too much space and took too long to set up with almost...

Sure is photogenic. It may turn out to be 1/10 as cool as one of the original fiberglass ones, but at least it'll ebay well.

I think there's something to that. Round wounds are pretty rough on the fingertips if you're not used to them. I played a sub gig last saturday and played 75% bass. I only used the pick on a few songs because I thought the sound was different (inferior) than what I thought it should sound...

Hey! Now who's being the guitar czar? :mad: :mad: :mad: Sand works for me. Or slivers of broken glass and cat pee when they're available.

Just out of curiosity, what was your job at guild? And it is the guitar company, not a restaurant or something, right?

I was going to say "molestation" but Dateline NBC "to catch a predator" was on. How can people be so stupid? BigJohnny666: r u a virgin? LittleTeenie69: Ya BigJohnny666: would u do me? LittleTeenie69: Sure, come on over. Here's my address

It's the old "Drums don't kill people. People kill people" philosophy, huh? :D

I'm not a bass player either. I kept my eyes open and ended up buying a used MIM fender p-bass for pretty cheap. I think it was under $250, but it was really clean and well set up. Plus it was blue! I found it easier to get a nice round, blended tone with a simple instrument. When I've...

They work me like a dog here and had a bout of proxy log monitoring that kept me business minded. Now I am monitoring the proxies, so I can crawl out from under a rock every once in a while. :D
