there is some SMOKIN' material on their second album, "times up". i never heard much of their music after that.

bingo. gibson didn't bother to sue LOTUS because they quality was nowhere close. now that someone is making gibson-like guitars at equal or better quality it has become an issue.

i'm not sure what is considered "vintage" these days. you're not likely to find anything older than the '80s that is affordable, unless it's really beat up. you never know, though. maybe the old lady down the street has one she'd sell for cheap. i believe virtually all les pauls will...

here's a new one under $2000. looks just like my old one. http://www.americanmusical.com/item--i-GIB-LPCL-EB.html

$2500 will get you a SMOKIN' les paul. i'd sugest trying to get a les paul standard in the under $1500 price range. i see them all the time. i always liked standards way more than customs, for some reason. maybe it's because trapezoids are so much cooler than rectangles. i used to have an...

i have had the dp01-fx (same as dp-01, except there are some built in effects) for a few months. i used to have a cheap portastudio, but i never used it, and consider myself very much a beginner. i have enjoyed using the dp01-fx and have had no problems with it. check bsw.com. they offer...

that's interesting to note. for me it isn't a consideration, but for others it could be pretty important. i tried out a mexi-tele yesterday. impressive. solidly built, played easily, sounded nice (i played it through a blues junior amp). "arctic white" was the best looking. i'll probably...

a fender blues jr is probably going to be something i buy myself in 2006. i'll probably go try one out in the next few weeks. looks like i'll be asking for guitar center gif certificates for xmas (even though i hate buying things there).

i currently have a danelectro mod 6 as my only electric guitar. it was in the $300 range. i'm thinking of getting a mexi-telecaster, which is also in the $300 range. i used to have a les paul, which was unreal, and an epiphone joe pass, which was also great, but not the right electric for me...

that's certainly true. let's look at the differences between drumset and quad toms: drumset: -played sitting down -played using feet and hands -drums set up on/supported by floor -played using lightweight, small diameter, evenly balanced drumsticks -time keeping aided by steady beats on...

i don't know who is better, or how that would even be determined. the way i see it, if the drumming doesn't distract from the music, the the drummer is doing a good job. i used to work with a guy that went to high school with dave grohl. he said dave was really good, even back then, on pretty...

thanks for the info. the clear head that was exposed after i ripped off the top ply seemed thinner than an ambassador. i forgot about diplomats. i might try the emperor w/ dot on my snare. does the dot muffle the head at all? i'm actualy considering switching to clear heads on snare and...

in his defense, there's a world of difference between playing a drumset and playing quad toms. still, he was sucking it up pretty bad.

here's something i've never considered before... the other night at band practice my snare head developed a tear. at first i thought the head was completely ruined, but i messed with it and pulled at the tear, which resulted in most of the top, coated ply pulling away from the bottom clear...

my '65 ludwig floor tom had its original bottom head until two months ago. it sounded great. i replaced it with an evans clear resonant head. it doesn't sound as good as before, but i haven't spent much time getting the tuning just right. in general it's a good idea to change them every...

i prefer regualar finishes. brilliant cymbals tend to sound cheap in my opinion (i admit i haven't heard any in a while, though, so maybe they're better nowadays). brilliant finishes also get really ugly from all those fingerprints. you should always go with what sounds best, but if you're at...

what do you mean by "falling to pieces"? my only first-hand experience with sonor is a low priced snare stand that was held together by a couple of screws that constantly needed to be tightened, or it would literally "fall to pieces". if you're going the low budget route i'd suggest trying...

neil peart wrote an article in modern drummer several years ago about tom tuning. he said he did not believe in tuning to notes, and never conciously set out to tune his drums in that way, but his piano player friend figured out what the basic pitches of his toms were and they indeed formed a...
