I recently test drove a Les Paul Jr. Lite. I took it off the wall because I liked the double cut. After about 15 minutes of noodling, I caught myself wanting the guitar. I'm doing as much research as possible on the guitar, and I'm finding a lot of people mercilessly bashing the P-100 stack...

I don't know if I agree with that, Foo. I agree with your point about brain, fingers, soul, but I'd say that the your speaker(s) has as much to do with your sound as your guitar and amp. I think it's reductive to say that tone stops at the amp output. I have an older solid state Laney that...

I've solved the squealing reverb problem in my deluxe by merely cleaning the contacts on the back of the amp. Remember, cleanliness is Godliness!

Johnny Greenwood--He'll actually sit his guitar down and play the pedals for half a song.

I was convinced that the differences in recommended use were absolute bullshit. Bruce, you're saying otherwise? Like my wife's Aiwa bookshelf system won't play my CDR's. I figured it was because it was an old piece of shit. Another kind of CDR might work?

55 Watts, 1-12 combo? For some reason I just assumed it was a head and cab. Sounds even better now! I've read the Fender/Marshall things many times as well. The high gain channel on my amp is said to be modeled after one of the older mesa boogies, but I don't think it's in the same league...

Sounds cool, Aaron. Congratulations! I have a fender Deluxe Reverb II-- from Paul Rivera's tenure as lead designer for Fender. Critics say it's not up to the pedigree of the earlier designs, but I like it quite a bit. It's definitely different though. I wonder how much his designs have...

Gidge, My experience with my strat has been quite different from what you're describing. My neck pup gives me the warmest, fullest sound of any selection. It gets thinner as you click the switch downward. I've thought for years about putting a replacement in my bridge position because I so...

Must be a "really huge" drumkit. My makeshift drum room is 12x10. :)

Dr. Freud: Are you a home recordist? What kind of instrumentation? The reason I ask is because I 've found it to be much more natural to record a rock-type band with the musicians in the same room. Invest in some good quality cable for the long runs, put the amps in the other rooms and allow...

Maybe try the Panasonic RP-HT335 The cord is between 15-20 feet with volume adjustment at the user. They run about 30 bucks/pair at circuit city. Since they're just used for monitoring while tracking, I don't worry too much about the sound quality. They're certainly better than your average...

I'm sure any number of cheap guitars can sound as good or better than my MIJ strat or my MIM tele. I'm fine with that. I bought them because few other guitars felt as good in my hands. That, to me, means more.

Maybe a tele with a humbucker in the neck position?

ARP: Settle Down!!! Seriously though, I think more significant than your point of the surviving Beatles being separated from John's Anthology songs by mindsets of decade, is the plundering Jeff Lynne production that tries to turn everything into a Travelling Willburys record.

When I'm trying to prove to an uninitiated person that the beatles were a much better band than is apparent in "I want to hold your Hand" I pull out Revolver. As far as twisted pop sensibility, I keep going back to Happiness is a Warm Gun and Sexy Sadie from the White Album as two of most...

I'm a Fender guy for the most part. In fact, I just got a MIM tele this week, but I think you'd be sorry if you got the Jaguar. A friend of mine has a 62 reissue and it is probably the worst all-around guitar with a brand-name that I've ever played. Your results may vary. I like Les Paul's...

If Wayne is also using a D1600 you need only to mail project CD's back and forth. I use an Akai DPS16 and a friend of mine bought one not so long ago. We will continue collaborating when he moves across the country next month. I'm also going to start collaborating with my cousin who lives in...

I agree with a lot of the ones that have been said. With Gilmour though, I can really only include his studio sounds before Waters left. Their last few albums have sucked in a major way, and his chorused and delayed-out tone is really hideous. I have similar sentiments for EJ. Cream Old...

I've heard people recommend the Duncan JB Jr. ..

Good idea LI: Actually I see no reason not to just post the mp3 link in this forum. If you're just in the early demo stages, you may not want to throw it up in the mixing forum. Someday I'm gonna get around to posting something... Okay--I just realized that you've already said that. I'm...
