Wife is from there, so all our family is there (my family is in the bottom of a beer bottle all over the east coast) and she got recruited to take her dream job. Not digging the snow idea, but way down here in South Texas we have no family and our son is about to turn 13 and misses his grandpa...
I had an original JCM900 4100 and it had all the bottom end I could ever want. Is there a difference in the cabs you use vs what your buddy is using? If you have treble focused speakers and he has bass heavy ones, that would make the same amp sound very different - I know this cause I had 2...
I played a $4000 acoustic once, and it was hands down the greatest acoustic guitar I've ever touched. I've played $2-3000 electrics that were far from 2-10 times better than ones I've played in the $500-1500 range. Like said upstream, it's very subjective. I'd say there is no black/white answer...
I’ve always preferred the SD-1 to the Tubescreamer but was just considering grabbing one of the TA clones the other day. Any recommendations for the best middle ground between price and quality when it comes to a TS clone?
What's the line of demarcation? Are you trying to sort the gigging folks from the non-gigging folks? How about the ones who have toured and recorded from those who only played small gigs? Or those who have albums out from those who never did a demo? Or those who have thousands of studio hours...
The place this soundman worked had a capacity somewhere around 750 people, IIRC and we usually played in front of 2-300. The twin Carvin 412 B cabs were definitely not at knee level, at least not the top cab. And it sat at the very back of a 15' stage with me at the front. We played death metal...
I think you hit the nail on the head with "no louder than the TV". And, I agree with anitoli, it's the soundperson's job to take what you give them and make it sound good. I used to hate it when I'd play a show with my JCM900 stack and the sound guy would come over while I was doing sound check...
Dig that. Has an early Megadeth vibe to it.
As always, love your tone. And really dig that white V!
Killer riffs!
Sounds great!
Wow, if you told me that was Journey, I'd believe it. Amazing.
