As well he should.

Totally. Jealous. I'm trolling eBay for a fretless right now. There's a beat copy for $400, and a nicely preserved one... for $600. How is it the P/J is such a rarity? Did it get 80's-ed to death? Ridiculous, it's a brilliant compromise (although I'd prefer a P neck variant).

There is a world of difference between a $250 LTD and a WalMart $99 gutar/amp package, though.

A Bad Monkey. It's not bad as a few different things, but it stands out on bass. They're practically free used.

You are completely wrong, and he is completely right. Calibrate with a dB meter, and try it.

That says more about your imagination than about effects loops.;) The most obvious application for a loop is a delay pedal on a dirty channel. Distortion by it's nature compresses, running a delay in front of distortion will result in repeats that stay the same volume, but gradually become less...

I'm not going to discourage anybody from getting an ATM25 (I have two, and would like to get another couple of them), but you could get an Earthworks Kickpad, and pair it with your SM57 to good effect for a bit less money and a lot less looking.

Don't get me started. I just opened the Pandora's Box of distortion/OD/fuzz pedals. I've had a Fulltone 69, which I bought to sound bright, brittle and spitty, which it does, but makes it rather limited. I tried the Jekyll and Hyde, which has a good fake tubescreamer, and an ok DS-1 like...

Just get any cheap tuner with a big display, and an AB box.

Clear-coat over spruce. Quite light-colored.

YMMV, I guess.

I've had mine for about a decade now. I love it, as has everyone who's played it.

That would take care of it, you could then dispense with the Beri, which would have become redundant..

I have exactly that rig. 1. It will require internal mods to get past "passable," whereas a small modeler such as the MicroCube will have a number of good sounds right out of the box. 2. The modded Crate sounds awesome... with the volume dimed, which I measured at >105dB @ 1m. Turning it down...

You can get away with a Roland MicroCube or Vox DA5. They're battery/AC powered practice amps that actually sound prety good. You can run a line out into a PA for louder playing, they're under half of your budget, and unlike nicer tube amps, they sound fine at whisper volume or through...

Less on the amp. If you really, realy listen to well-recorded heavy guitars, you can tell they're not tremendously distorted, for the most part. If I had 2 guitarists, I'd stick with 4-6 tracks, and stagger the panning. So L100%=guitar1 L80%=guitar 2 R80%=guitar1 R100%=guitar2. I'd probably also...

Google "slipperman." Read that mess for a couple of weeks.

Well, to be fair, I have no idea how a compressor works, by which I mean, I have no knowledge of the physical principles used to make loud stuff quieter, as contrasted with the way I do, in fact, understand how a speaker or moving coil microphone works (hint, they're the same). Asking what the...

A Floyd Rose is a locking trem. The string ends are clamped (locked) into place, and can not shift at all, regardless of what gymnastics are applied to the bar. a typical Fender trem is non-locking. The string ends are held in position by the tension of the tuned string. If detuned slack with a...
