that's like 500,000 streams man!
Have you no decency? Waving all your cash money around like you own the place... Learn some humility!
If you got it, flaunt it.
I got an ev re20 ordered to do our demo with.
As far as lyrics to I can't really write lyrics without having the music I'm writing for to listen to.

So close to being done with math. Get ready liver, cuz come Saturday we're gonna be a-drinkin'. <spits>
Got the family together. Mesa 1x15, Mesa D-180 and Bagend 4x12 and the T-40. I use am using the reel to reel to track some bass/guitar ideas for a new project we have kicked off. [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]
As long as you're not planning on doing it live. Download Reaper. Bang out tempo of thing you're recording. Record first part to a click for a couple bars. Highlight the riff and click the repeat button. Then just keep playing and rinse/repeat.
I write most of my songs in reaper cut/paste style until I have a skeleton of what parts go where then I sit down, write out the drumtracks, and then track as much as possible all at once in couple takes. Except MIDI keys because those are pretty much done when they are written since there's no tuning/continuity issues.
Questions for duders who are tuning low: do you use a compressor? If so, for what purpose? Any specific benefits/drawbacks? I'm specifically talking about drop A/A#, BEAD, C-standard tunings (I'm using all of the above). Thinking about trying out my old Boss CS-2 and seeing what happens but I thought I'd canvass the braintrust, too.
I've been in B standard (w/ a 5 string) for the last 5 years or so - never use a compressor. I would occasionally use the limiter that was built in to the LH1000 but it was by no means necessary.
I think tubes + fuzz/OD/dirt will give you plenty of compression.
Oof, I bet that cab weighs a ton.
I think that head is widely derided as one of Ampeg's worst (same guts as the fake SVT looking SS heads, I think).
Im in the market for one. I would like one to bump the level of my higher strings so they sound as full and powerful as my low strings.
I am really tempted to get a fiver again. Not sure I have any use for it other than fooling with other tunings. When I down tune a four I dig the low notes on the E strings but feel like ok what do I do with the other strings now they are changed too. I know it is like having a capo on guitar but I always go ok that was fun and tune back up to E standard.
I use compression on my clean signal path. It definitely thickens up the low end across the neck when fuzz is active in the dirty signal.
I've tuned 4s to BEAD and used 5-strings. I've settled on the 5 because I like having the regular 4 strings in addition to the low B. I don't use the G often, but when I do I'm glad it's there.
