Nah, don't feel a need to fly the coop. I'm actually a pretty relaxed person when it comes to sussing things out in a collaborative process. I have a lot of experience with this in business and in other creative ventures. It's just that the guitarist, I'm finding, is kind of an impatient...

Bully for you. The guy is just trying to offer his experience.

Having typical trouble with a guitarist. YOU must have patience with HIM when he's walking you through an idea, but it's ok for HIM to be impatient when you're walking him through something. YOU have to just play through it and figure it out when he's taking you through an idea in a jam...

Check on both.

Heh!

So I'm recording some bass tracks for this guy's demo, as a favor. He tells me to do what I want. Go nuts. Whatever . . . I send him some tracks. He comes back . . . 'Can you play this here, and this here, and this here . . .' OK, so I do it. I send him revised tracks . . . 'Can you...

Any spector Neck-Through 5.

Nikki Six was technically 'dead' several times. Now he's sober and one hell of a businessman. I've met several other rock-stars who are sober and living great lives. Half the music industry is in recovery, as is half of Hollywood. You just don't hear about the ones who DO recover, because of...

+1. This actually makes a lot of sense.

Will do that. Thanks for the info!

Thinking of running 2 rigs live and was wondering if anyone had experience with the Radial JX-2 Switchbone Vs. Radial Bigshot ABY. Obviously there's a big difference in price between the two, but for simple A/B/Y purposes and a polarity reversal switch, I'm wondering if there's a big difference...

Works great with other OD pedals, BTW. I use the B3K in conjunction with Sansamp BDDI and VT bass . . . very nice.

If you can afford it, get Ampeg SVX and a good set of headphones.

Yes, there is a difference between offering criticism in a helpful way and offering it in a way that's personality disordered. I will give you that.
