    John Scofield

    I heard a couple of cuts from the new album just the other day and I must say its quite a departure for him. He's alwasy pushing it though. He and Larry Carlton are the biggest reasons I'm a 335 player (mostly.)

    Just how bad are you?

    I keep promising to learn to sight read well but never seem to get around to it. I've played in bands or as a solo artist since day one so I never did have to learn a lot of other people's songs and when I ocassionally do I just pick it out by ear usually. I can only read in G cleft and don't...

    Anybody wanna hear my new V-Amp?

    Yeah, the V-Amp has a download site too but I haven't had time to look into the deep editing thing yet. I think Bob's right though about the blues sounds on this thing. That definately seems to be its strong point. It'd be nice to have a POD for it's glassy, clean sound and it's smooth, pretty...

    Yamaha MD8

    I've never owned one but I know that they really improved the codec tremendously the last couple of years and the sound is supposed to be quite good now. About the only negative thing I've heard about that particular Yamaha unit was something about the laser getting a bit hot inside them after a...

    Anybody wanna hear my new V-Amp?

    Got mine at Mars. Somebody else had mentioned that to get good sounds with a POD or J-Station you'd have to get into this "deep" editing stuff through midi. I don't know beans about it though so I took their word for it. Anyhow, these amp modelers/sims are getting so cheap I can almost see...

    Behringer MX602A Eurorack Mixer?

    I'm thinking about getting a 802 for screwing around at the house. (The band has recording gear but it's at the keyboard guy's place.) Everyone tells me this stuff is dead quiet and very good at any price. The mic pres are supposed to be very decent too. If you have 2 or 3 pieces of gear to...

    Glad I bought the V-AMP and not the POD.

    There's truely nothing as satisfying as a game of one-ups-men-ship. I could probably compete with you guys but I wouldn't want nobody to start balling or nothing coz of my poor upbringing. Yeah, I know, Darren had to sleep 6 to a bed with his brothers and sisters, to which I can only say, "You...

    Anybody wanna hear my new V-Amp?

    I just brought this thing home today so don't expect too much. A couple of these samples are just factory presets, and I must say that this is the first thing I've brought home from the music store in a long time that had any presets worth a darn. I should have done some tweaking with them...

    Glad I bought the V-AMP and not the POD.

    Well gee, me and my old buds still lift some pretty hefty weights at the gym and play basketball a couple of times per week too. But I'd be lying if I said there wasn't plenty of Ben-Gay to go around. :rolleyes: Guess what fellas? The Mars in St. Louis is open a few hours on Sunday. I went down...

    Glad I bought the V-AMP and not the POD.

    "But once you're 50, you can get senior citizen discounts in some places" Oh geez.... Well, at least I've still got most of my hair and most of my teeth and I'm not a viagra junky yet either so I guess I'm not doing too bad. I like driving a pick-up truck though. I don't make as many old man...

    Glad I bought the V-AMP and not the POD.

    I was 43 day before yesterday. How old do you have to be to reach geezer status? Or did I already reach it a few years ago? I had to quit visiting the web developer forum I belong to. If the mods there find out you're over 40 they take away your icon designation (junior member, dedicated member...

    amp simulators

    I've been wondering about those. Have you got one? The price is finally right on a Line 6 unit for a change so that's one I'd deffinately like to look at. What are the differences between it and the POD?

    Glad I bought the V-AMP and not the POD.

    Hey Charger, that's an Ebow I hear on Mechanist isn't it? I thought I was about the only one here who uses one. Nice dreamy tone you got on the first couple of minutes of that track.

    How to get sticky marks and stickers off guitars?

    I own a commercial window cleaning business so this is kind of up my alley as I remove stickers almost everyday. Sometimes I use that stuff Young Techy was referring to called Goo Be Gone and sometimes I use a product that usually sits right next to it on the shelf at Walmart called Desolve It...

    cabinet question

    What its made of isn't that big a deal really unless you're a bass player because sometimes they have ported cabs so then the sound of the cab itself comes more into play. I wouldn't worry about it too much.

    Best Acoustic Guitar Strings

    I always liked those Guild phospher bronze but I can never find em unless I mail order them. The Pearce strings are the most bright sounding ones out there right now. I play fingerstyle mostly and without fingerpicks (but I do use a thumb-pick like most people) and also tune down a whole step...

    Shockmount for v67 - Which is of higher quality?

    Most shock mounts don't seem all that well made to me. I seriously considered trying to make one out of chicken wire and rubber bands once. I really don't think it matters which one you get, so I'd just go with the best price. I think some EV shock mounts look like they could fit a Marshall too...

    amp simulators

    Aaron, I like the sounds you're getting with the CW unit. I've used that one in the past a little to. I think you might like the Revalver plug-in even better if you got the chance to work with it. Unfotrunately I only have a SB Live here at the house and it can't run a plug-in from the...
