Buffalo Bob's on the money with "discipline," IMHO. One way to develop that discipline is to write, and write, and write. It's a good habit to write every day (if possible), even if not every day's writing is phenomenal. It's a habit that pays off in the long run. In addition, taking those...

Yeah, Polaris, Carillon's barebones is a designation that simply indicates that it doesn't have any of the recording software or soundcard included. That's why I've been considering buying one myself, since I already own Sonar XL and a Delta 66. Gonna have to do some serious thinking after...

Hey Cyrokk, were you saying that you sometimes play with the thumb on the back of the neck and sometimes with the thumb where it can wrap over the fretboard? If so, how do you do that? I've never been able to play with the neck in my palm; my thumb is always on the middle of the neck...

Not that I don't think your advice is good, jimistone, but the cousin in question in my scenario is a preacher. Besides, I trusted him before he became a man of the cloth. But thanks for the input anyway :).

Wow, very nice. I listened to all the sound samples they had, and I was impressed. Thanks for the eye-opener, Lopp; now I'm off to check prices ;).

Thanks for the input, y'all. Decided I'm going to let him have the amp for nothing, with the condition that if he ever decides he doesn't need it anymore he will contact me first. I can always borrow it if I need to, and he gets to use an amp (he's never had even a modest combo like this one...

Thanks for the link, Lopp. I agree, the sounds for the GT-2 are really good. Don't you ever get frustrated, however, with the limitation of 3 basic sounds? Granted, if you had to pick 3 these 3 would be good ones to have, but it seems like several of these other options have more to choose...

Hey y'all, my cousin is interested in buying my old Crate G-212 from me. I could use the money for other stuff for my studio, but I don't know what's a fair price for such an old (but in good shape) amp. I was thinking something like $75. Any advice (other than "Since it's a Crate, just give...

Thanks for the demo, windowman. If the full version of ReValver is half as good as I suspect it is, I'll be saving to purchase it. BTW, sounds to me like you're a great player, windowman. You obviously know your way around the fretboard.

Re: Re: Best example of pads that I can think of... . . . which is wonderful :). Check out "Caribbean Blue" on *Shepherd Moons*, those of you who don't know what I'm talking about.

What about Alien Connections' ReValver? Anyone using this, like via Sonar? I haven't yet made use of it (still working on my signal chain), but it looks and sounds promising, especially the full version.

Buck62, that second Tokai Strat, the all black one, is truly a beauty. Even if I can't bid, it's a pleasure to view.

C'mon, Q, it's a combination of an English "pram" (stroller to us Yanks) and an American "pimp" — so it's a mobile flesh peddler, or a vehicle for said dealer :p.

Hey virtual.ray, I don't think I completely understand what you're describing. I get the part about the rails and attaching the gear to them, but how is the structure supported? I'm probably missing something obvious, but this morning I feel like I have an oil spill in my brain pan :rolleyes:.

Thanks for the input, Gidge. I agree that it looks solid enough for a newbie like me :).

You guys rock! griffinator — Definitely not planning on road use. I don't think I even remember what the road is :rolleyes:. battleminnow — Thanks for the tip on the rubber feet. I actually have the leftovers of a package of rubber feet (bought 'em to replace the crappy ones on my used Delta...

Musician's Friend has this Axman MS-400 8-space rack that runs for $20. Here's a link if you want to see what it looks like: http://www.musiciansfriend.com/ex/shop/home/0?pid=450238&rsrc=00631 I'm just wondering if it will do the job for someone with only a few items that need a home. Anyone...

Thanks, Tom, for the point you made. In another thread I mentioned that good poetry doesn't necessarily make good lyrics; glad to see that others feel that way, too :) .

Not bad, demensia! I like the verb use of "clowned"; it's a nice unusual word choice. Keep it up, dude :D.

What about Paul McCartney? I understood that he played the solo in that piece and that the raga-ish bit in the middle was a kind of tip o' the hat to George. Or am I off base here?
