That`s a really nice looking turntable. If I didn`t already have one I`d totally throw down on that kickstarter. Maybe I still will....

I almost bought the one Laz has but went with it`s bigger brother the AT LP 120. I`ve been really happy with it these last 2 years.

You`ve got a really gnarly thick tone there when you`re all fuzzed out. I like it!

[dozicusmaximus]

Should have kept one of my used Technics... Hell I should have kept both. Used prices have doubled. I don't even have any vinyl haha. I was going to try to start DJing, then I got asked to play bass in a band...

hint: it's song lyrics

WHAT IS THIS THAT STANDS BEFORE ME? FIGURE IN BLACK WHICH POINTS AT ME TURN AROUND QUICK, AND START TO RUN FIND OUT I'M THE CHOSEN ONE OH NO

Now, sell are your gear and stock up on Rogue and Behringer.

[Lazarus.Bird]

Let another bassist use my rig last night. He was using an Epi SG and Bluebeard so he kinda sounded like me

[HydrasBreath]

Been away awhile. Still not all caught up but just found out the luthier I commissioned some work from quite awhile ago totally screwed another TBer awhile back (and possibly others)...this is not good.

[ampegfuzz]

Well crap always comes in 3's and thats the case with my luck today:

1. My 91 ProCo Rat is acting up and not working.
2. My 9 volt clip on my Green Big muff fell to shambles and needs replaced.
3. After nerding with my little rig found one of my big problems is the tone suck from my vintage Doctor Q (Its eating high end i cant replace with EQ)

So all three pedal are down or need work. LAME!

I don't know if bromosapien posted this, but here's a band some of you dudes might like from my side of Canada:

Winrar!
Well.. I could probably have twice as big of a rig if I went all rogue and behringer... HMMM... lol nope! Just got back from the drive in. Was like 5 people there crazy enough to be out. I ate so many m&ms I feel like I might puke. Hope your weekends are going well sirs.

[JoeVictim]

Will a SM57 be ok for our type of music, as far as micing?

I've solved your riddle, wizard...now buy that sh*tty gear!

I worked late and took a really short lunch on the road today. Was supposed to go to a movie night at a friend's house, but I am beat. So I'm just slowly turning into a puddle at home tonight.

They're not the flattest frequency response compared to a lot of other microphones, but it's EQ curve is pretty complimentary if you're using a lot of dirt. My go to recording setup on the last two projects I recorded for were SM57 and RE20 close up, an AT4047 about 3 ft back for room sound and post pedalboard DI.

[ampegfuzz]

In a pinch, yeah. Prolly still better then a DI.

Well I could buy this for about half the price of my el oso...



I wonder if it comes with a free happy meal toy too?

Thousands of unique tone combinations!

I watched your strobe video like some sort of interwebz campfire. I really dig your tone. What are you running? I was mentally trying to will your clip to play me some Sleep riffs! I don't think it worked out. I will try again later though.

Gig last night, wasn't too bad. Opening night of a 3 day mini-festival thing. Door fee included entry to the other 2 days but a lot of people going only came to see the metal bands - so the higher door cost scared a lot of people off.

The bassist in the second band broke a string early in the set, just as the first bassist was changing over the same string broke on his bass. I managed to get my bass in tune and up on stage quick enough. Now he wants my bass.

Our set wasn't without problems - rhythm guitarist broke things off with his girlfriend earlier in the day so he was in a terrific mood. Lead guitar/vocals got some bad news about family member in hospital so he drunk himself stupid, could hardly stand up on stage. He broke a string in the second song (see a running theme here?) and borrowed a spare guitar. Crowd loved us even though we played like complete shvt and screwed up half the set.

Lesson learned? Never let the crowd know you fvcked up and play harder!

Gibson LP Standard Plus, Oxfuzz II Ge Custom, DA120, Emperor 4x12.

super simple in that vid. I was doing more drone as I learned that I could **** with the strobe light based on how I played.

Words to live by.

Or as my football coaches always told me: If you make a mistake, make it fast and hard.

[Lazarus.Bird]

Listening to Jaco - Word of Mouth on vinyl with some herb and it is tripping my face right off.

[Jason Hall]

There, neutered the tweeter from my bg250... results are good so far. Cranked it pretty hard and it started bouncing across the room haha... need some carpet. Was afraid I woulda messed something up but everything seems good.
