Just got home from NAMM. I spent just a little time with this pedal and Dino. It is not an SVT pedal, Tech 21 does that a little better imo. This is much more versatile. Great tones from just about any setting. It sounds Ampeg just not SVT Ampeg. You almost cant make it sound bad. The Scrambler...

[email protected] Thank you very much

First album I ever bought was Destroyer. That Christmas I asked for a bass and amp. So, yes. a HUGE influence both musically but also as a performer/entertainer. In rock and roll, the live show is every bit as important as the recording.

Was and always has been Los Angeles and New York as the rock meccas. Now, is there any good talented rock? Thats a better question.

For the early chapter material, I would play a few times clean and move on. As I progress, it becomes more important to truely understand what the exercie is teaching you. Playing the few examples only scratches the surface for me. I play them and than I practice my own variations of whatever...

TomB is giving good advice. There are many health concerns that can cause symptons similar to CTS. In fact, many of them can be quite serious. I would also recommend a hand specialist. But make sure that the problem is accurately diagnosed. I had three opinions on mine. The first surgeon, I was...

Volume knob, Pick up blend knob = thats it in passive Volume knob, Pick up blend knob, Concentric treble and bass knob, mid knob = in active I run mine in passive. I just prefer the tone coupled with my Mesa M6 Carbine.

I'm 48 and own and love the album. This album changed the direction of Rock Music. It was headed in a bad direction, this changed it for the better, regrettably though, rock has veered off once again.

UUUHHHHH, the crowds, people coughing and sniffing, the pushing and shoving, the expensive food and drink, the walking, etc. Every year I say this is it, I dont need to go anymore. Yet, each year I scrounge my contacts for a pass and get really excited about going.

Just an update on my CTS surgery. Both hands done and healing real nice. Most important = I CAN PLAY AGAIN hands and fingers dont go numb. I dont have full strength yet, so the hands tire easy. Jimmy, I love your posts on the site. Take care of the hands. Stretching, ice, heat, etc...

I wanted to share my story on this topic. I have followed this post and even reached out to some members on their experience as I was weighing the option on whether to do the carpal release surgery or not. I had grew up playing music. Alto sax since 4th grade, bass guitar since 15yrs old...

I have been following this post and thougth I would jump in. I purchased the 3 book set myself and started from the beginning. I have played music since elementary school, but had not played for the last 15 years. The music reading part has been coming back to me very quickly, though I always...

hmmmmm......:rolleyes:

I agree JimmyM. I actually like GC. I dont rely on them for my research. I do that on my own. They serve an important part of the purchase chain. Whethter it be the ability to demo products there, or be able to pick up something direclty as opposed to being mailed to you, or simply meet other...

I am thinking the same thing. Thank you. I am only about an hour from the Mesa Hollywood store. I know I could bring it there for any problems. I wonder if I could get the casters and cover still. I mean it should have come with it. They sold it as new not used. At minimum, I will get rid...
