Magnatones were very nice amps. Mostly, though, they were used by organ and accordion players. They sounded very good with archtop electric guitars also -- not so much so with the solid bodies.

Thanks for the invite. I browsed through your friends list and it looks like I'm in pretty good company.

Thanks for the beer and o-rings. I'm gonna need me sum ketchup and hot sauce, though. I can tolerate a little ranch dip or whatever on occasion -- but I'm addicted to hot sauces (my wife's Korean).

Very tasty as always, dude. It sounds centered enough to me. On my system here, the bass is distorting until about 1:30. The early cymbals sound like they're getting cutoff at the tail (compression?). I think you could nudge up that organ a smidgen, too. Nice stuff. Who's on the guitar?

What Teysha said!! :cool: Oh yeah . . . I liked the song too. :D Actually, awesome as usual and as expected, dude. You guys are a most excellent couple with most notable skills. :)

Great to hear you again, dude! I pretty much agree with all the comments about cymbals, the snare and the guitar tone -- but, jeez! -- this is a great 'throw together'. I got a definite Bob James vibe off of this one -- except for the horns :). I like the horns, but they did seem a little...

Wrong!! Several years and numerous awesome tunes after I told you before . . . you STILL haven't figured it out. Dude, just because you're primarily a kick-ass drummer, doesn't mean you aren't a seriously cool guitar player. Maybe it's just as well. If you ever figured out how good a guitar...

Best choice . . . don't mix in headphones.

I have, and very much like, the Yorkville YSM1P studio monitors. I paid about $400 new. They're very honest and room-adjustable.

Get out and visit a lot of guitars . . . At that pay point the QC level of manufacture is just all over the place. Two guitars coming off an assembly line one after the other can and will vary hugely. The good news is . . . that even at that cost . . . sometimes they screw up and really get...

I found out this bit of info on the web at http://www.well.com/~wellvis/gitinfo.html Dickerson Dickerson steels were the precursors of the Magnatone line. Delbert J. Dickerson began manufacturing guitars in the 1930s. At the height of the company's manufacturing career they were building...

What's the best grain of salt for under $100? :)

I think it is short-sighted to call Chet Atkins a country musician (although he often called himself that). In the early days, he was a boy wonder on radio. Later when he tried to do the Grand Ole Opry, he was more or less shunned as being too fancy/shmancy with his playing - "all that weird...

You might also look at the M-Audio PRO Keys 88SX. It comes with basic piano, epiano, organ sounds for under $400. You could get a sound module for whatever other sounds you want. Try here for some basic info: http://stores.nextag.com/zZounds/product.jsp?product=501511592 Should at least be...

If you're in Canada, you should also try a Garrison -- the G series.

RAMI -- Dude! Long time no see! I wandered over here on a whim and ran across this thread. You're missed, dude! So, I figured "what the hell" and went and had a look at the cover. I don't know if you've changed it -- 'cause it's been a few days since the last post, but regardless . . . I...

Hey Dudes! Doc Who has posted an update over at TF.com that the site will be back up and fully operational by Dec 14th! :D He's asking for donations -- but regardless will be back on line by the 14th, or sooner. Good news! No diss intended for this group here. :) Just wanted to let...

Teysha -- You know damn well I'm in Hawaii. And, we had turkey, and . . . uh, kalua pig . . . and poi . . . and maitai's with little umbrellas. We've pretty much quit that missionary roasting thing altogether . . . although, I hear the Captain Cook was pretty tastey! :p :rolleyes: :cool:

Talk about timing . . . I was just sitting here chillin' and listening to Buddah's "Play it all Again" with Teysha's collaboration on the keys. Damn! I hope it comes back. I sent Bruce a follow-up and told him about the Tascam letter. I said that if they don't want to subsidize us, maybe...

TASCAM Forums Closing Hey Mark, Max -- Good to see you guys. I got a letter from TASCAM about the closing. They sounded pretty final in their decision not to support Bruce in any way. Sad. Funny thing is they pointed me to several forums (as suitable substitute) and on every one of them I...
