I was in Nashville for work this week and was on Broadway checking out some live music. I feel sorry for those bands. The begging for money has got to get old. I did see a pretty solid guitar player though. I have no idea who he is. Played a Fender 2x12 combo of some kind and was a legit Tele...
That a-hole is the one that banned me for calling out tGP for doing nothing to prevent hacking and scammers. He’s a piece of shit.
Fun side note, I actually disputed my emporium membership fee with PP and won. Fuck them.
The big price jump for guitars came during Covid when people were buying guitars like crazy. I’d say around 2022. Just before that I bought an SG 61 maestro for around $1400 new and a new 335 for $2450. Both are about a $1000 more today.
Gibson and Fender don’t need any excuse to raise prices...
Thanks guys. Here is another easy listening roots rock song. The solo was done with my home built Tele and a Cage Corsa amp. These are pretty raw home recordings. No auto tune or any of that.
All I have ever owned are tube amps. I guess I am just bored.
I like the idea of every amp and FX ever made. I don't like the idea of having to buy some powered speaker cab.
It could be really interesting to use this live. Assuming I can figure out how it works. Me no like menus.
Do I go...
Geoff Tate was in Detroit tonight. My buddy called this afternoon with an extra ticket. This was off my radar as I just assumed he can’t sing like he used to. Was I ever wrong.
The started the show playing Operation Mindcrime in its entirety. What a brilliant piece of work. His band was tight...
I just got the SLO Plus. I am running it into the Low Input of the JCM800. Its absolutely kills on the Marshall. The SLO pedal cops 99% of the Soldano vibe. Pretty cool upgrade for the old 2204. The pedal has its own Master vol for balancing each channel. Just like the amp. Very flexible and...
I have never owned a Wizard. I see a lot of reviews that reference ear fatigue and it’s scared me away. I get a little of that from my 2204. But the same frequencies that may cause that also work so well with a band mix, I guess.
What tubes are in the Marshall?
I’ve had a number of Tim and Timmy’s. They all work great. What’s with all the Timmy’s on reverb for $800 and up? What a bunch of fucking idiots.
