That’s a clean looking rig. I love my Mesa 410.

Expensive, when I was a kid they were 3 plays for a quarter and had tubes and a 15" speaker.

You guys got it all wrong, he's leaving it to me. I'll be playing Mad Max as i drive it back to NY.

Better than playing Vanishing Point.

There is hope for music, maybe. I watched a recent interview with Al and Geddy where Geddy said that he saw where 70% of youth are listening to music from “our generation” (his words, pointing to himself and Al), and was astounded by that, and added that this “was some condemnation of the state of music today.”

This is true to an extent. But there is a wealth of new music out there waiting to be discovered. That’s why I like Spotify (in spite of its evils). I find new bands and artists all the time, most of it classified as “Indie.”

Wanna know how old I am? 6 for $.25.

And I bet they were 78's, cylinders?

And I bet they were 78's, cylinders?

Not quite that old. 45s.

 

[bobyoung53]

Great choice. But this one didn't make the cut?

I could get into that.

 

[bobyoung53]

A classic!

Silencers - "The process of Inverse String Winding compresses the outermost part of the cover wrap leaving the internal structure of the string intact. Exclusive to S.I.T., this design produces a silky feel which is easier on your fingers and frets, but explodes with a great sound. Perfect for fret-less basses. Nickel plated steel over hex-core."

Interesting to know how that differs from GHS Pressurewounds. Sounds different, but seems like the same idea. GHSs are Alloy52, however.

Have SIT Silencers on a bass, semiflat/halforund.
I dig them; less noisy/clanks/zings than rounds, and some tone from flats.
Think gauge I bought is .040.

I don't know what settings Dagan was using on that Blackstar, but that 'bird sounded really good


imo

That thing is tuned to E flat, could have something to do with it, it's the second one I've seen that's down tuned, maybe they ship them that way?

Amazon.ca had Powersteels

And sold directly by Amazon, not from Cosmo. But it appears that they have only one size (the most popular) - 45-105. My princess fingers need light gauge right now.

I like Dean Martin--not really that song--but love to hear him sing. Far more than others of that time.

I remember his hits well, played along with the Beatles and Stones on AM stations when I was a kid.

A little bit of ebony VP magic from Friday night..


Cheers

WOW! That’s great!

Great movie.

She hated your music.

I think it was more her thing to be surly. Some people are just like that.

My post wasn't very clear like a lot of mine, I meant the 50's rock & roll upright stuff wasn't usually mixed very loud, I think The Beatles changed all that, they were the first band I remember with loud bass.. With The Stones it was the speaker not the LP, it was a cheap mono record player I had gotten for Christmas, it had one 4 inch speaker, they had some deep bass in some of their tunes.

Rick Rolling is so last century. Update your memes!

I can be more 'experimental' in the music I consume. I can listen to an artist I have never heard of without committing to buying an album...

 

[bobyoung53]

I think I heard the bass on that one.
