Strings by Adam Marshall On steel I may glide, like a blade on ice. A welcome resistance on my fingertips accompanies all sounds imaginable. Wood vibrates mellow, humming with tone. Melodies dance as rhythm wavers to whatever pulse I desire. In years, I'll still be here, hunched having...

i wrote a poem for grade 11 english a couple months ago about my love for guitar..... ill post it a little bit later. Adam

Sweet! GOt up early today and ordered it. came to 400(!) CAD! friggin paypal uses their own currecy exchange rate, so instead it being like 40 bucks cheaper, it went up by 4 dollars! oh well, i figured 400 cad, for the 369 regular guitar and the 60 dollar pink plush hard case with lock plus...

wow thanks for pointing out that washburn. thats definitely another possibility now... do you guys prefer made in china or korea? is there much of a difference? i have checked musiciansfriend and music123 and zzounds, but that washburn didnt jump out at me. plus, its a pretty unanimous...

thanks thanks guys. im going to shop out all the stores this weekend, but im not expecting to find much in this price range with these available features and awesome reputations. so ill probably end up with an online purchase. in which case, it will almsot definitely be an agile. now i just...

although i guess technically its not a characteristically "Les Paul" sound, i cant resist... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=02z3gIg9lcQ Adam

actually one of the few complaints i actually ever have heard about the LP copies are that they are heavier than gibsons. some of them are 11 or 12 pounds iirc. be sure to post a review if you get one. ill be in the market for either an agile or xaviere in the next month or so. Adam

cool guys thanks a lot for the input and the great examples. you guys both have some cool stuff going on there. im working on a metal/punk rock guitar ensemble version of eleanor rigby right now, and if i decide to try this for that song, i will definitely inform you guys. thanks, Adam

Do you ever set up your modelling chain through your monitors and use that to get feedback effects? Would you advise against this since i guess its bad for your monitors? or is it relatively common practice. because to me, a big advantage of using a real amp is just the fact that you can sit...

my first electric guitar was a black slammer strat knockoff plugged into a 10 watt practice amp. i then figured out a way to plug a cord into the head phone jack of that amp, and into the input of my 6 watt bass amp. this was my first full stack! i gotta say, between that and a microphone stand...

i learned a trick from cello_pudding on this board. its a little tricky explain though...youve probably heard of it already. you save as long a piece of string as you can with the ball end still on it. if you ever break a string behind the nut (close to the tuner) and dont want to replace it...

that is scary. but atleast it says something good about the market. even idiot kids who are buying line 6 are starting to notice the benefits of tube amplification! Adam

i think what we all really want to see is a showdown of the big cheapie copy brands...rondo, eastwood, guitar fetish, etc. my next project is a Rivers Cuomo tribute guitar, and ill be on the hunt for a double fat strat copy. the blue/brown tortoise combo from rondo is pretty much perfect in...

the sound quality doesnt necessarily degrade when using a standalone recorder. the only thing thats usually not so hot are the preamps, which you can often bypass by using line ins. after that, unless youre an audiophile, for the most part, a digital recording is a digital recording. the...

i agree to a certain extent. its not really the genre that comes to mind when you think of a nice smooth tube sound. however, i could never suggest a SS amp over tube no matter what kind of genre we're talking about. i think the fenders are almost out of the question. in my experience, they...

Peavey Valveking I owned a valveking for a week or two. i had to return mine due to noise issues, but i loved the amp. it had a great clean and reverb, and i think it has the kind of sound you're looking for. i was going for a sound along the lines of rise against, the offspring, weezer, green...

thank god someone else asked. ill go back to the guitar forum now....:o Adam

rondo sells some agile lps with floyds on them. they look might fun! i wish i couldve had tickets for the rush tour this year. oh well. hopefully they come around again. Adam
