I'd love to agree, but I've never played the original neck on mine - had to replace it due to a snapped truss rod. The neck warped when the guitar was stored strung before I bought it. I hope someday to restore the original neck, when I've got the spare cash. I certainly love everything else...

Nothing personal, Shy-Dub, but I see this argument all the time on TB, and it's misguided to say the least. Success in the music industry can be predicated on hard work, relentless touring, innovative talent, imaginative phrasing and musical genius, but much more often is based on blind luck...

A little darker than fiesta, it's Lipstick Red.

I like the concept of a positive feedback loop driving human intellectual progress through an interplay between cognitive function and manual dexterity. I'm not sure it's accurate, but I do appreciate the elegance. I can recall a speculative fiction story I read some time ago that postulated...

Not accurate, mi amigo. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thumb#Other_animals_with_opposable_thumbs Agree with the rest, though.

If you're spending that much, why not go for something more distinctive? Invalid Link Removed About the same price, though you'll need to send them a tracing for an exact fit. Oh yeah, they have plain black ones too. Invalid Link Removed

Try Grace Jones' cover of Sting's "Demolition Man"

Bah! You kids today with your lightweight "neo" rotisseri! In my day, you cooked onstage with one chicken on one spit at a time, in a rotisserie made of granite that weighed a thousand pounds and took seven roadies to move! And the crowd loved it! That joke might have been funnier if the...

I checked those shots out, and they aren't bad, but they're not what I would consider professional quality. I pulled some of the photos that this venue is doing into a Photobucket account. Check them all out here: http://s394.photobucket.com/albums/pp22/tao4now/ Here are a couple of samples:

The venue in question has state of the art lighting and audio. They pull out all the stops and really do a good job of capturing the dynamics. They've had a few better-known names (Marcy Playground, Jimmy Van Zant, Adler's Appetite, LA Guns) play there, but they seem to really want to capture...

Interesting. I don't see how they could make money that way though. From their standpoint, they are paying the four-camera video crew, plus the live-switching editor, plus the sound engineer. Ten bucks doesn't even cover a camera guy for an hour. I know they've offered master DVDs of...

I'm hoping to start a new project soon - retro-Appalachian-indie-folk. If it gets off the ground we'll be plying our trade in the Old City and haunting the WDVX foyer for sure.

At that price you usually get all of them, minus the ones that are unusable. A photog might use bracketing schemes for white balance or exposure, so oe out of every three shots might be right in a case with controllable conditions. In a performance shoot, you can easily end up with a couple...

Wow, do they really go that inexpensively? I've been shopping the wrong venues! In my experience, a professional photographer will cost you upwards of $400/hr. That's not just for the shoot, but for toning and reproduction, which is the real time-sink (note that in the above offer, those...

I believe the reason for bundling is to avoid costly per-transaction credit-card fees on low-total transactions, or at least that was what I was told. I've negotiated merchant terms from a credit card company before, and I take them at their word. If the terms are 9% and 25 cents per...

A venue that has access to pro-quality video and audio services has proposed a set of products to coincide with their summer concert series. 1) Online photo purchases: When a band performs at the venue, the venue will have a pro photographer shoot the set. Every photo taken will be placed...

Before that seminal album, it was less about the money. Since, it's only been about the money. Hence my assertion.

I have an enormous amount of respect for you sir, but those statements are incorrect. Nothing the punk movement did changed the industry's insatiable quest for more and bigger stars, it merely exchanged some pawns on the board for others. Further, the highly-publicized spending sprees...

Because of the way the OP has worded the question, I must say that all the answers I've seen so far have missed the point, and I don't mean the debate between single artist/combo (all the solo artists mentioned so far had a band backing them so in my opinion that's pedantry, and a distinction...

Your choices are too restrictive. My favorite piece of music is Mike Oldfield's Tubular Bells, and although I own multiple copies going back more than twenty-five years, the first, on vinyl, was purchased at a flea market ("boot sale" to our friends across the pond).

I'm not really sure why that is the case. When researching strings here before buying my first set of Hi-Beams, the general consensus was that they would last about six months, give or take a little. I was okay with that, and still would be, as they're not terribly expensive. But I can't...

They just work. OLP MM H: Hi-Beams .45-.105. Used for pop, rock, funk and fusion, they are a great fit for this bass. A match made in heaven. For the first week or so, this set had more zing than a lemon orchard, before settling in to become (a bit) more mellow. The lower tension is really...

I love mine, that's for sure. I have a stock '89 Fender P/J Longhorn and my OLP still gets about half my workouts, due to its tone. But to answer your question, we need to know what you're looking for in the OLP, and how much you expect to pay for it. Even then, only you can decide if it's a...

Woah, hang on a sec. Re-read your first paragraph above. Seems to me that the first set comparative attributes you mention as not being vitally important directly affects two attributes of your second, ostensibly more important group. Weight, neck length, fret access, and (possible) neck dive to...

Played through the amp and cab this afternoon, and had a great first impression. I set everything dead flat, and the system was loud and essentially colorless. The amp appeared to reproduce nothing but the sound of my bass, which I already love. Some light adjustments to the EQ yielded...

*chuckle* It does look well cared-for. If I buy it, it will be my first upgrade from practice-amp land. I'll be playing an '89 USA Fender Longhorn through it mostly, and I hope to obtain a Geezerish vibe. I'm a classic rock kinda guy, and I think the two fifteens will serve well. I expect them...

I've got a meet-up scheduled for a CL seller with a Crate BT-350 amp with Crate BE-215L cab to play for a possible purchase. What I've found here and elsewhere suggests that I'll get the old-school classic rock sound I want in a fairly inexpensive package from the amp, but I've found zero on...

I feel your pain. I bought a Fender 1989 P-Bass Plus for cheap with only some photos for guidance, and when it arrived with a severely bowed neck and broken truss rod, I thought I was out of luck (and some cash). Haunted Fleabay for a few weeks and picked up a 22-fret MIM neck that ended up...

No apology necessary - c'est la vie. PM replied to just now.

I've been playing for two years, and I'm still working on mastering all the different sounds to be had from my hands, my bass(es), and my amp. Once I have those down, say in about a decade or so, I might try an effects pedal.

How much does this cab weigh, and is it still available?

PM on the way to you in KnoxVegas.

Outstanding nominee centered around the works of Edgar Alan Poe. I often warm up with the walking lines from "The Gold Bug". APP had many other tasty concept albums (I don't think he really put together anything that wasn't), and I'd nominate The Turn of a Friendly Card and the oft-overlooked...

Then you should watch the opening five minutes of the film Baby Snakes... Seriously.

Surprised no one's given any love to the Streets of Fire soundtrack. My wife wore out three copies on cassette tape when we were younger. Good pop. It's kind of a stretch, but The Exorcist used a small part of Mike Oldfield's Tubular Bells for the end title, which was and remains my all-time...

Not sure I'd classify it as a great rock album, but it is really good. The only rap act I ever liked, so naturally they disappeared. Played all their own instruments, used samples from movie soundtracks like Bladerunner, Network and Videodrome, and just generally tore the roof off the sucka with...
