I just called my local amp genius, btw. He said that from what I described it could very well have been a faulty ground in the outlet. I'm going to test the outlet tonight. If the meter doesn't show something going on I'll take it to him and have him look at it.

I doubt that was it. It actually made my arm shake when I touched it. I've never had a shock that did that to me. Except that encounter with the hermaphrodite at the Black Swan bar in Tivoli, New York. That one was pretty nasty. :D

Lot to answer and think about. I did have my guitar strung around my neck. I was standing on a carpet with my shoes on. It's likely that my left hand was on my strings, but I can't remember. Thinking through it, though, it must have been because I would have muted the strings to kill the...

Hey fellas, I was over at my practice space last night, and I started hearing a lot of radio signal coming through my amplifier. I went over to inspect it and went to flip the standby switch on. When I touched it I received quite a shock—the kind that makes you shake a bit and makes your tongue...

Not being able to wake up when a cop is poking you with a nightstick in your own bed? That is rock and roll. Damn. He should have been given the Key to the City.

This was another house show. Summertime, a year or two ago. The show had finished, and we were all pretty drunk. We love playing house shows because after they finish you've got a bunch of drunks in a house basically going nuts, with no money to pay and no public decorum to follow. At some...

there have to be pictures of this. where are they?

The first two tracks up there were recorded by the sound guy at the Middle East Upstairs in Cambridge. The others we recorded ourselves in my apartment. We did the drums out at my bass player's summer house, and then tracked the rest in my apartment. We were pretty pleased with the results for...

I saw an interesting thread on Talkbass called "Interesting Gig Stories" or something like that, and the results were hilarious. I thought we should start one here. I'll start it off with a secret that hasn't left my band until now: We were playing in a basement of some frathouse in Allston...

Hey Man, Yeah, we have a gig on the 24th of January (Saturday) at Church of Boston. We go on at 11. And we're playing a live show on Umass Lowell Radio, 91.5, on a show called "Live From the Fallout Shelter." It will probably be impossible for you to listen to in Providence unless over the web...

Funny thing is, I somehow didn't mention, I was actually listening to that album while reading your post. It's not much of a coincidence, though. I listen to it every day. :cool:

Pay attention to what this man is saying. He is speaking the gospel.

Hah. Providence! I'm in Cambridge, MA. We should do a show trade sometime. Where do you guys play down there?

I'm sorry; I think I muddled my question up. I mean to ask, what is it that makes one cable better than another... why is a George L cable better than a neutrik or better than a monster or better than a generic? I read through half a dozen threads on gearslutz and kept finding people swearing...

Or the guitar part in My Iron Lung... :cool:

Hey guys, I've searched around the net, and I've gotten all kinds of information, none of which has really given me very good answers. This is probably kind of a big question, and the answers will vary by preference, but I thought to ask it anyway. As my pedalboard gets more complicated, I...

I re-read the manual yesterday, but didn't even think about the ability to juggle the patch numbers. Maybe I missed something. It occurred to me to give Digitech a call and see what they have to say about it. I was at practice last night, and I was really trying to figure out I could do to make...

Hey Gents... The Digitech Whammy re-issue has a midi-in port, for use with an external midi selector. After playing about 50 shows and ALWAYS FORGETTING to change patches on the whammy before starting the song (resulting in me trying to twist the damn knob with my foot, which never works) I...

Dude, I did listen, and I did enjoy it. Sorry for not getting back a little earlier. My favorite of the tracks by far is My God Has Died, that seems like the most straight-noise track of the bunch. Of the others, I think Filtercrunch was pretty interesting; I like long tone-sweeps (for lack of...

BTW, I forgot to mention... Sovteks are sexy. ;)
