S/D-85: Tasty clippings from Corey's Box

How clipped are your nails sometimes if I haven't trimmed them they take across at the end giving a bit of a pick tone.

Time to trim them, I usually keep them short, but I don't rake my nails across the strings with the way I play. Actually, on Sunday night the pad of my middle finger was killing me, because I played so much over the weekend. I usually only play with my index and middle finger, half of those I did with just my index finger after a while lol.

I also play right over or just behind the pickup on the P, when I'm playing fingerstyle.

Well, "old" is subjective I guess. If not old, at least of that older sound, but for me...

Merle Haggard, Hank Williams, Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings. I also like Junior Brown. I'm not an aficionado or anything, just a small corner of my listening.

I saw Junior Brown open for Bob Dylan many moons ago. Solid set. He did a great cover of Texas Flood. Jimmie Vaughan was also on the bill. He did Texas Flood, too!

Amp was free and rat fur with heavy cat damage so I stripped it best I could and sanded then house paint, the rough glue and particle board surface look like old tolex kinda. Then krylon ivory for the grill and face.
I have bar stool it sits on too. And for pure laziness I got a 1lb suitcase dolly and can strap the stool and amp to it, bass on my back and over to friends houses. Oh and it's a practice amp so I plug my iPod into it as a stereo and I got a vocal processor so it can be a PA for ***** and giggles levels.

My pedals demand high volumes so I've never recorded clips as I've nothing to do them justice. The overdrive is versatile, the red pedals as I've mentioned are evil, I'm considering having both on tap on the board for two different flavors, which is kinda funny as keeping it at 1/4 volume 100% bass 0% treble and no gain is already my "extreme", you'd get the nastiest feedbackingest idk if I stack both and the overdrive (which is set 50% volume, 100% bass and mids no treble and all gain last I used it at High volumes, I then stacked it with the basically off fab for over the top.

Definitely a mini rig of doom.

I can't stand it when my nails start to grow past the ends of my fingers, I get weirdly obsessive/compulsive about it. Not just because it messes with my bass playing, I don't like that, but just the feeling of having them touch things before my finger tips.

It drives me nuts and I can't think about anything else until I trim them. Same goes for toenails. Half the time my wife takes the clippers and keeps them in her purse, so I go crazy ransacking the house trying to find them.

Yeah, I can say it's not my nails on the strings, because if it were my nails would be shredded.

I'm the same way. At any given time there's probably about 5 pairs of nail clippers in my house.
