i got an es-1 second from Engle for like like 9hunny it rules , i love it it came set up with Dominants on it, i played it like i got it straight form the factory for nearly 9 months before i took it to the lutiher and got it set up for guts...its worth the trip from champaign fer sure..the...

find a luthier take it to them, discuss what style you want to play, and what kind of sound you want. and they will do a set up. that can be an expensive process, it can include , but is not limited too , adjusting the sound post, the action, dressing the fingerboard. when that discussin is over...

well i used to FREAK about this, and when i was in a rock band that practiced weeknights, i think it was warrented. but then i realized that really there is a lot of work that can get done when not everybody is present. Now i am in 6 piece band -singer, electric guitar, acoustic guitar, drums...

100% man we are on the same wavelength . my advise was really directed more at all the threads in this heading. it seems like lot of guy(and girls whatever) think that putting together the most committed, devoted musicians is going to result in the quick road to "success" and i think that that...

yeah, i have totally been lurking on the BM threads too. i have fired two really good friends from bands. first was a singer who was ditching practice, not writing lyrics blaj blah bnlah.. it was a case of , that is just the way he was , he had other things that were more important to him, we...

you are joking right??? or do you really not know the story of Minor threat /Discord/fugazi/Ian Mcaye??? IMO, having someone else put out material for you is nice, a lot of small labels put out music because they love music , and make little or no money, and as a band, it is nice to have that...

for sure charge full price at a charity event.we once played a benefit for a friends band that had all their equiptment , and their van stolen on tour. they got the van back empty... it was every band we knew,it might have been two nights... and the house got their cut, but all the money went to...

. hey man if thats how you get over than cool...i see that you supported your merch , and your tours, your van your hotel, you probably even ate once in while... but did you pay your bills, feed your kids , pay hospital bills,mortgages??? or did you "like spend the 90's on the road in yur...

google, and the like make their money on advertising not from the peope that use the search engine, would you pay to use google? probably not , you would just go use whatever search engine was free. playing live music should be treated more like a trade. If you Want the best , you pay for the...

things were working for a couple of hours and i just got the critical error again...***?

espescially if its for charity, people should always have to pay to see your band. what you do with the money afterwards is up to you. i understood "dont play for free" to mean two things , 1. people pay to see you and 2. promoters/venues pay you to play. now anyone who has played a few shows...

yeah , someone be sure to come back here and spread the word that it is back up, it is too painful for me to even check it, cus i think it is gonna work ... and then nothin, it took like 15 minutes for pages to load.my life is frustrating enough....

i am not going to argue the merit/faults of black metal, it is a matter of taste , and if you dont like it , it is really easy to write all black metal musicians off as D&D playing trolls, awkward adolescents , deranged pagan lunatics, whatever. i think like all forms of music , a lot of...

i didn't call you a snob because you play classical or jazz music, i enjoy them both. in fact, i didnt actually call you a snob. i believe i called it a holier-than-thou attitude. i came to that conclusion because you barked out a sarcastic and discouraging remark with absolutely no...
