    fixing up my guitar

    Hi, I'd leave it alone too, but here is a method that should work for you. "On some dents it is possible to swell them out by putting a wet rag on the dent and then placing a hot soldering iron on the wet rag over the dent. The steam causes the crushed wood fibers to expand back out this...

    Fender Bassman 70

    Hi, The "Bassman 70" head was made from 1977-1983. It looks similar to the other "Silverface" head, but it sounds VERY different. Take care, Tony

    drums

    Most musicians AND listeners, will say that as well. Real drums DO sound the best. I was talking to a friend of mine last night about his recent recording sessions, and he could not stop talking about a program that he uses called 'Reason'...He loves it! Perhaps someone else out there...

    Fender Bassman 70

    Hi, In the $250-$350 range, you should be able to find a Sovtek MIG 50 (50 watt tube head w/o master volume), or a MIG 60 (60 watt tube head with master volume). These are both wonderful amps at any price! The MIG 50 has more of a "Fender" sound, while the MIG 60 has more of a "Marshall"...

    budget guitars

    Hi, I paid $229 for my Alvarez RF-20C, and it is a great guitar at ANY price. I own Ovations, Gibsons, and quite a few other acoustics, and this guitar holds it's own against all of them. Take care, Tony

    Has anyone tried the Vox "Brian May Special" Amp?

    Hi, We played a show with 'Fozzy' a few months ago, and their lead guitarist had a XXX head.His tone was awesome! I'm still in love with my Marshall Silver Jubilee amp, so I'm not really in the market for another full-sized amp. (The Brian May Special is a 10 watt combo.) Take care, Tony

    time teeping troubles

    Scott has said it best. Practicing with a drum machine or a metronome, is the only way to correct any timing issues that you may have. Remember to practice at a S-L-O-W speed, and gradually work your way up to the tempo of the song/riff/exercise that you're trying to play. If you are not...

    Compressor shopping

    Hi, I've been shopping for a compressor, in my price range ($200-ish) as well.(RNC, DBX, Behringer and Alesis, are all that I've found.) I have seen way too many Alesis 3630s in the last few days, and I have yet to find one that wasn't noisy. After doing some research on the subject, I...

    Stolen Stuff ?!

    Dan, ( ontheblackrock@hotmail.com ), Let me guess, Chris ( chrisarua@hotmail.com ), your "freind" (sic), was your drummer in "Falling Short." He "gave" you the items before he moved to Pennsylvania for school. Joe, your bassist, left your band due to his mom's illness.(I hope that she's...
