The best known Laney amp in the 80's. The ones that were behind DeMartini on stage. The ones that were supposed to compete with JCM800's in the market and didn't come close in popularity.
A lot can happen to a guitar in 40 or so years, especially a guitar that gets gigged with and rehearsed with and recorded with. A barrel jack falls out at a recording session or on the day of a gig and you are just pulling an input jack off another guitar to repair it or using whatever your...
I hear you here. I finally bought a Hamer Standard, unfortunately not an original sunburst one but a 1998 USA model in black. I always wanted one from my growing up in Illinois, Cheap Trick worship in Jr High. I do still want an old Kramer strat head or beak head.
If you were talking about the 08/09 Pro Mod necks, yes. I found that those were the most similar to the "right" neck profile from like the 82 strat head era that I liked
1984. San Dimas made. I had loads of them after from Pre-Pro's to USA Jackson bolt on's but none of them sounded as good as this one. That's probably because everything tone-wise was always dialed in around this guitar.
LOL not at all! It has had probably 20-25 different pickups in it over the years. Original neck had the pointy headstock snapped off. Lee Garver at GMW grafted on an entire new headstock at the scarf joint and did an amazing job. I have a different neck on it now because I can't stand the neck...
I've told this story a million times on here over the years, but I'll do it again.. In 1983 into 1984 I was saving as many pennies of my pizza delivery money as I could to buy a Kramer. In the Chicago suburbs, we had barely even heard of Charvels let alone seen one in person, but Kramers were...
My experience is that the very best Kramers from that era are on par with the USA or Japan Pro Mod Charvels. I think the original USA Charvels and Jackson's and the modern custom shop ones are on another level altogether.
This track sounds like the vocalists Mom mixed it. I like his voice but not enough to mix it as loud as his mom did. And now the lead guitar is that loud too. I guess it is just that the rhythm guitars are mixed so low on this.
What's up Pat?!
How about a JCM800, a Boss SD-1 and 40 years of not messing around with gear chasing and instead just playing our guitars, writing tunes and recording our music?
Yeah, I dig it too. I have listened to it 3 or 4 times. I dig Nuno's tone on this, especially when he does the palm muted licks on the low strings.
I am the same age as Nuno and if I wrote a riff and a singer put a melody over it that was an exact rip-off of STP, I wouldn't recognize it unless...
Plenty of repeating patterns in this solo of his though, like almost all guitar players do. True, it isn't what I think of when you mention scale sequences as I know what you mean, but they are are repeating scale sequences in their own way. Doesn't mean I don't like it, because I do!
