    Kramer Pacer Vintage 2011

    I wouldnt pay anywhere near a thousand for that guitar.The tremlo is a lic. floyd.Other makers are offering the same style guitar(charvel) that feature a genuine Floyd, and they are priced under $1000.

    Amp Coasters

    Before I started racking all of my gear I used the Wagner iso cubes.They are designed to decouple commercial HVAC equipment from the pads they sit on.I lucked out and got about 1000 of them for free.They work great for displacing the weight of heavy gear.I have used them for monitor pads and...

    Good on you for reporting it to them as quickly as you did.Your diligence and quick thinking were monumental in saving this board as it teetered on the brink of extinction.

    Buying electic guitar & amp today...maybe

    There was a time when I was a big fan of Fender.I cant really say that anymore.They just dont give a shit about details anymore.No matter if it is production line or deluxe or custom shop, there is no consistency with thier instruments anymore. $1500.00 is a good bit of buying power in todays...

    Down sized to 5w tube for gigs.

    The best way to get the soundman to do a good job is to be nice to him.My approach is to by them a beer or two then asked them to help me get my amps onto the stage.

    Down sized to 5w tube for gigs.

    I have that same problem so I just gave up even trying.And god forbid you take to long to type something because this place will log you off.I do understand the points you made and I dont disagree with most of what you posted.

    Down sized to 5w tube for gigs.

    And BTW a soundmans job is not more difficult than the musicians.Truth of the matter is that both have pretty cushy jobs if they have thier shit together.:D

    Down sized to 5w tube for gigs.

    I'm well aware of the things a soundman has to do and consider.You illustrate my point that they are easily distracted.I dont treat them like adversaries, I just dont rely on them for things that I or other band members can do for ourselves.A band with good stage dynamics makes it easier for a...

    Pickup replacement

    Tell your buddy to buy a Tele and put whatever he likes in his.If you like it that is all that matters.

    Down sized to 5w tube for gigs.

    Another thing I would like to point out is that if you have been reheasing with your band for a couple of months using your small amp, when you play a big venue that the amp is not loud enough for, you are in for a rude awakening when you step in front of that monitor and listen.It is a complete...

    Down sized to 5w tube for gigs.

    I dont use a stack because I care about looking cool, I use them because they are a part of my sound.The problem with your set up is that you have to rely on a monitor to hear yourself and you have to rely on a soundman when you need a boost.Guitars sound like absolute shit thru monitors and...

    Putting together my live rig(pics)

    The band is going to be kicking things off again in September.(been taking a break while the bass player winds up his degree)I have been doing lots of research on how to make things easier on myself as far as set up and tear down.My goal was to go from truck to complete stage setup in 10 minutes...

    Weird Feeback

    That bird sound is pretty easy to get.Just crank your amp and use the smooth edge of a pic to rake and lightly hammer the unwound strings over the pickups,while rolling the guitars volume control up and down with your free hand.EVH used that technique alot.

    "Heaven And Hell"-Black Sabbath-Need critique/feedback on this song,please...

    I'm no expert engineer so I will aim my comments toward the performance. One of the things that make the original such a killer song is the sparseness of it.It is the perfect soundscape for the powerful vocal performance that Dio brought to it. You seem to have a nice vocal range, but the...

    Anybody wanna play?

    What I dont get is if it such a waste of time, why dont you fuck off and stink up a thread more deserving of your time?
