    me & my cat cover the psychedelic furs

    Thanks guys! Yeah the drums are weak as hell - just tapped midi with some quantizing (not even EZ quality). I'll probably replace them with real drums - problem is that I can't play any better than that anyway

    me & my cat cover the psychedelic furs

    in between projects, so my cat and I have the studio to ourselves. Neither of us can sing - I couldn't get him to take it seriously, anyway.

    Someone Else's Mind....

    at a few places in the verses (e.g., 0:44 and and 0:50) the lyrics sort of get eaten by the verse guitar. The vocals in the chorus sound great. I can hear the S's in the chorus, but they don't sound bad to me. I think have a deaf spot in that range, though. I post stuff here that has...

    The next step?

    You're on the precipice - watch out! :) I set some arbitrary rules for myself to try and keep me from just buying everything - one was to stay away from the 500 series (and the other was to avoid anything on the computer that needs an iLok). I am convinced that there are some truly awesome...

    I must have given mine away to someone I didn't like. Or maybe I set it on fire.

    that's really cool lookn Bob - that's a Gibson with gibson single coils? I still have the one in my picture - it's much newer than the amp - 2004 ("Your guitar was made at the Nashville Plant, TN, USA July 1st, 2004 Production Number: 256 ") It's a SG Supreme - I consider it my primary...

    my first amp (1985): my second amp (1986) (guitar came much later): the first amp sucked so profoundly that I went and took out a loan to buy the second amp. It helped that I had a good friend with a Marshall Mosfet that I didn't like, so I figured I had to go for the reach. Bussed a lot...

    New grill cloth day! Blues Jr.

    Thanks! Yeah Miro - piping scares me. I'm also considered redoing this cheap randall cab I have but I would have to deal with piping. How bad was it? I also have the white versus gold thing going on but I may let that one go. I guess it makes sense that the cloth could affect high frequency...

    New grill cloth day! Blues Jr.

    I recently got a staple gun (initially to make bass traps - worked out well) and so I decided to swap the grill cloth on my Blues Jr. I have been trying to make myself like this amp for about 10 years. I did pretty much all the billm mods (including the power supply related ones, but I'm...

    Bob - I have no idea - sounds good at the extremely low volume I have to use at this time of day to avoid waking up the other chefs. I remember plugging my guitar through a mostly broken tube based stereo receiver back in the 80s' - I'm lucky to be alive, I guess. It actually sounded pretty...

    new amp day! Fender Rumble 100

    thanks guys!! yeah, size matters. I guess if I had a do-over, I'd check out the Rumble 200, which has a 15. But after tweaking this thing a bit, it's sounding decent.

    new amp day! Fender Rumble 100

    It does get a little farty when it's most of the way up - maybe I can fix that with EQ and the other settings

    new amp day! Fender Rumble 100

    So today is my birfday and my wife took me to the guitar store. I'm not gonna lie, I was hoping for a new guitar - I was crushing on some Mexican Jaguars, but they they didn't really have a good color, and my finance committee (i.e. wife) wasn't really into spending that much. So I walked...

    I was just thinking that I like amps and I like dogs, and I generally like big amps and big dogs more than I like little amps and little dogs. There are some kickass little amps and little dogs out there but also a bunch that are yappy and and have sour temperaments and pee on your furniture.

    nice -- it's good to have lived through stuff like that. My getting ready for a gig story is that we got a call out of the blue to open for a national act (not quiet riot), and had about an hour to get our stuff to the place. We didn't have a truck. The singer got shifty eyed and took off...

    So anyway, that's the sound of a Kramer Pacer through a dimed JCM800 2204. And that was *before* I pulled the bright cap on the amp, which I finally did about 8 years ago. The other guitar player was probably playing a Jackson V guitar (the nice spendy ones, as they were back then), and I...

    haha - thanks. We had some creative differences in the band :) -- I was a Sabbath fanatic turning into a Slayer fan at that point, but as a group, we were headed in the hair direction (obviously). Another problem was that I had to bus tables to pay for that amp, and the restaurant did not want...

    gulp - OK - here it is: I *think* this was done in 1987 - might have been late 1986 or early 1988. I'm too kind hearted to put you guys through the version that has the complete vocals. Also, the song and the vocals were written by a guitar player who replaced me in the band and whom I later...

    I thought I made that up :) -- I have posted me playing it to this thread before, I think. Maybe (hopefully) that was where you heard it? I want to make it a song for my band, but my singer says he can't sing over it, and I suppose he's right -- a little too self indulgent on my part. Lol - I...
