Thanks Lars....Fuckhead!!!!!! :-( I love Eddie Van Halen. He's the one who made all the tapping mainstream. Billy Sheehan was doing it in the early 70's But Eddie made it happen. All the Steve Via's, Yngw...how ever you spell his damn name, the Joe Satriani's, Eddie was the best. He has soul in...

If the song has background vocals or harmonies, I highly suggest getting another person to sing them. If one person sings all the vocal parts, it sounds stale and boring, much like The Police. For example, If there's a three part harmony, get someone other than the person singing the lead vocal...

everyone has made some exellent points! I do alot of recording and i've always been a fan of panning guitars hard. Listen to any AC/DC record and you'll see what I mean. It's also a good idea to differ the tones a little. Like Malcolm and Angus Young usually play simmilar parts but Malcolm...

Tube amps all the way. I have a Fender 212 DeVille with JJ tubes and it sounds great at about 40% volume on the regular drive channel. Great Rock tone with my Les Paul. It all comes down to your personal preference. This happens to be mine

some people have recorded there stuff with a click track and then later a qualified drummer will come in, listen for a while and then add his parts. That works great for some people.

I prefer older vintage drum kits. I currently have an old Rogers kit. 10x14 rack, 16x16 and 16x18 floors and a 14x24 kick with a couple of different snares. a Ludwig acralite (5x14 8-lug aluminim shell) and an old Pearl from about 1968. It's 5 1/2x14 wooden shell with 10 lugs. It has a very...

John Bonham didn't play double bass. Most players that play double bass think they have to use it every other measure..it gets annoying. But some players actually do it very well and only when needed. they make hi-hat stands with only 2 legs, that is an option. Getting use to it is the main...

I agree with you on the older Jap re-issues. They are made in Mexico now (just like everything else) to cut costs and they've also cut the quality standards. I had a Jap 60s reissue strat that was made in '91 and it was a great guitar, for a strat! I wish i still had it. They don't offer Sonic...

I prefer the D'Addario 12-56 guage. I've always had good luck and tone with them.

I agree. I compared the 410 and the 212 side by side in the store and I liked the 212 better. It also depends on the speaker itself. JJ tubes brought new life to my amp. visit www.eurotubes.com. That guy is very cool, and he guarantees the tubes for a whole year. He is local for me though. I...

Your opinion. You're right, I forgot they do sell packs of A customs and they are great cymbles. But they are a little thin and I don't think he wants to break anymore of them. I prefer not to have a brilliant finish because I do not like the tone. But it's up to everybodys individual ears on...

I have an old Rogers 14X24 kick with a wood beater. I've gotten a great sound out of the following: 1. Resonanse head tuned skin tight and match the pitch at each lug(I have a Remo Ebony bass head with a 5 inch hole on the bottom left hand side of the drum) 2. Batter head tightened enough to...

I agree.

My old bassist has a solid state 400 watt Crate head that he runs through a pair of Ampeg 1x15 and 4x10+horn Cabs. Great speaker combination and tone as well as having plenty of power. we had enough volume to keep up with our Loud as hell, 2 beat 3 fill, sloppy, uncoordinated monkey-with-sticks...

Newbie Registered: Apr 2003 Location: Baltimore, MD Posts: 33 I used to have a musicman 210 combo the one with the "deep switch" wish I had never sold it. Then it was a 1969 fender twin. I loved it but it started to nickel and dime me and became unreliable(much like my 72 dodge dart). Now I...

Peavey made some good amps in the '70s. My friend has one and I wish i would of bought it when I had the chance. It's a 212 all tube, 60watt tweed combo. I forgot the model number but it had some great tone! Old Marshall Plexies are also awesome. That's what Alex Lifeson would play back...

The 1x12 is the 40 watt version where as the 2x12 and 410 are the 60 watt versions. The 212 has more bass response than the 410. I like the tone better. I will eventually get a 412 4 ohm speaker cabinet for it. That way i'll be pushing more air, in turn, more volume. it's too bad Fender doesn't...

I like the resonant heads skin tight. If they are removed, it sounds like shit because there's nothing for the sound to resonate off of. Just because a book say to tune both heads the same does not mean that it is the best way. Do what ever sounds good to your ears. I've discovered that when the...

Get a 12 string bass and run it through an SVT!!!!!!!!

I bought an old '50s reissue (Japanese version of the 52) and it is by far, the best Fender guitar i've ever played! It came from canada and and someone replaced the pickups with Duncans and it rocks! It has the "V" shaped maple neck and it is so comfortable to play. Between that and my Les...
