Still catching up...
But, The Sound of Music festival starts tonight. Link Removed So I shall be leaving in a little bit to catch The Warning. @KaraQ I will be holding you responsible if they suck. If they are good, of course it will be my own good judgement.*
* Good judgement of opinions upon which I should rely.
Mexican band who do a metallica cover? My first thought is that I am going to see something like*
* Yes, that is Ozzy, but my quick look didn't yield Metallachi doing Enter Sandman...
But it turns out to be something like this
First Canadian show ever! They started 20 minutes late due to technical difficulties (something wasn't getting them into the PA) but played their full set.
Good sized crowd. I was early enough that I was only about 15-20' back. They put on a good show and really great songs.
How would I describe the sound? If Triumph formed today, this is the music they would be playing? If Metallica were 3 women and Lars was a good drummer?
The guitar is a PRS through a Dual Rectifier, so it is the same sound Petrucci gets. The bass is through a cranked Ampeg + 810, so it is nicely compressed and has the Ampeg grit to it like 70s Geddy tones (and the open B string sounded great).
They make the playlist and I am looking forward to hearing much more from them in the future.
I can see why 7ender would sue Gibson fo...wait.
mine used to be all white…
I blame Gibson’s shoddy qc and 30 years..
A lot of those guys used Silvertones, Valco , I just coincidentally found this:

Wow, that thing is beautiful! A guy here has a Silvertone 1482 but I made the mistake of showing him what they're getting for them on Reverb, it doesn't have the original speaker though.
So it’s Noir day? I can do that…Ah Thursday
Veronica Noir.
Oh wait, it’s vintage Oly Fender day. I can do that…
Dang it guys, make up your mind. Tort Thursday it is, and on a Gibby no less…Tort Thursday
There’s probably more sanity in that post than the last 20 posts combined!

she used to smell like waffles when fired up, for the first couple years

Gibson Studio series 4/5 string are passive, TB Plus pickups, set neck construction. Solid. Kinda want a 5 string even though I have no use for one. Excellent basses, nice variation of the traditional Bird.

It's tort twin! Two rare examples of tort looking good. (I don't think I've ever used those last three words together.) This pic isn't very good at showing that this bass does look really nice.

I have a '49 Gibson BR-9 amp. It has a strong smell when fired up if I haven't used it for a while. I plugged in the SG for a bit last night and it went into overdrive right away with the hot humbuckers. Roll off on the guitar an solo the neck pickup and it got a really creamy sound I wasn't expecting from the neck. The bridge pickup has a bad pot, so I don't know what it will do yet.
There is joy in undersized tube guitar amps.

Buy one and you will find a use. What is this resistance and consideration of use before the fact? You are our queen!
