What do y'all say about this amp?

http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/Fender-Twin-Amp-100Watt-AllTube-Guitar-Amp?sku=480649

Tried it out at Long and McQuade and it sounded awesome. Might buy it with my work money from this summer :)

That is a godly amp, I play it at my local music place all the time.

Oh yeah, and I failed my driving test. It sucks but whatever, I'll just retake it in a week.

[imgooley]

How did you pull that one off, dude?

[ze monsta]

[Vagabond21]

Hey guys I'm back from the pit ::wipes off slime::

Gools, I'm sorry about coming on to you last night.

Just out of curiosity, does anyone in here play in Eflat tuning often?

[Carswell98]

this place is totally deserted

:sad:

[GD_GC]

How did you pull that one off, dude?

:haha Well I ****ed up the manuevering by hitting a cone, I over corrected when I was actually good to begin with going backwards. And then I was so pissed after that, that I thought a one way stop was a 3 way, and I started to inch infront of the stop bar. The stupid examiner had to tell me to stop, so I got an automatic fail for that. But I didn't get any points off (except for the automatic fail)! :p:

[TeXaS_db]

:haha Nice one Eric :p: My brother did his and passed the first time, but most people fail for the first round.

[Dimebag22]

dimebag, I don't have any experience with that particular amp, but you can not go wrong with a fender twin reverb or fender 65 super reverb.

Personally I would go for a 65 super reverb, see if you can't find one and give it a try.
I tried them all out. I liked this one the best. I played a Twin Reverb and a VibroVerb. I think...
I liked this one because it has a godly clean but then you can switch the channel and get some killer distortion too. Plus with 7 preamp and 4 output tubes, you can't go wrong! :p: That's almost double of what I have right now.
I'd rather have a Marshall Bluesbreaker, I think. But a Fender Twin Reverb would do nicely :haha.
I actually tried out the Bluesbreaker. And though it has amazing cleans, I don't like the fact that you can't get OD at a low volume. It's a sick amp though.

Oh and for whoever was saying that 100W is too loud. I totally agree, but this has a switch that puts it down to 1/4 power. So really you get best of both worlds if you ever need to crank it up that loud, and you still have a good volume for practicing

wait, Long and McQuade has a bluesbreaker now?


I know what I'm doing friday :haha

fender twin reverb is what im saving up for this summer.
i need to replace my crappy amp really bad.

[Dimebag22]

Yeah dude, I was like :eek:

It's pretty sick. It's in the middle row of amps on the very end. Also, play the Fender Twin on the end, right underneath the all the Tele's backed up against the wall. :) It's awesome.

*marks calendar* I want to try one of those things badly

:p:

hey we should meet and jam in there :haha

Eh, I guess I'm not a Fender guy. Next amp I get will probably be a Peavey Delta Blues or a AC30 if I can find one for cheap.

I have never played a good peavey though

[imgooley]

Have you played a Delta Blues?

[Carswell98]

Have you played a Delta Blues?

no that is what I mean, I've only ever played some crappy SS peaveys

[imgooley]

Ha, I thought you meant all peaveys were bad.

[Carswell98]

Ha, I thought you meant all peaveys were bad.

no, I've heard good things about the classic 30 as well, just never had the chance to play one

I want a Marshall Bluesbreaker so fucking bad, what a badass amp.

[TheDev01dOne]

Peavey SS amps aren't crappy. Probably some of the best SS amps available IMO. Not to mention they're ****ing indestructable.

After the apocalypse there'll be mutant cockroaches playing Telecasters through Peavey SS amps.

[imgooley]

I want to play a bluesbreaker. Throw a tubescreamer or a blues driver in front of it...

I used to play one, a 20W SS Chorus model, it was from the late 80s, and it sucked

[imgooley]

Reason why that amp sucked was probably because it was from the 80's

[Carswell98]

Reason why that amp sucked was probably because it was from the 80's

yeah...

oh well, it was better than my friends 30W Yamaha from the 70's

it was saved from a dump, it sounded like it. :haha

[imgooley]

:haha

probably sounded like dump...

IDK, I like my AD50. Versatile as all hell. I love turning on the Muff( :haha ) on the AC30 channel with full gain and making some nasty gritty sounds.

Yeah I want a few pedals once I get my blues junior

a Fuzz of some sort

an Octave pedal

a tubescreamer

and a tremolo

and a good wah

and of course, a non-****ty guitar

[TheDev01dOne]

I really like Peavey SS amps. I have a Rage 158 practice amp, had it since I started playing, so about 13 years now and it still works perfect and sounds pretty good to me for a tiny practice amp. We also have a 120W Classic chorus 2x12 and it's a beast, its really old, 70s or 80s but it sounds great on the clean channel, the built in reverb, chorus and flanger sound good. Even the overdrive is really nice for an SS amp and everything still works 100% perfect, we got it for £50, was a mad bargain. It weighs an absolute tonne though!

Anyway.. I have been lured bak into playing Xbox this week and have barely touched a guitar, I feel kinda guilty letting it distract me. Oh well its still fun, Wakeboarding Unleashed is such a kickass game, anyone played it?

[imgooley]

Games suck dude.

50 quid for a 120w Peavey isn't bad though.


@brae, so you like american voiced amps?

[Carswell98]

Games suck dude.

lol wut?

[imgooley]

American voiced amps, like Fender et. al. as opposed to British voiced amps like Marshall, Orange etc.

[Carswell98]

American voiced amps, like Fender et. al. as opposed to British voiced amps like Marshall, Orange etc.

I guess, I've never played a good marshall though, so I couldn't really say TBH

but a BJ's Cleans are exactly the tone I want

[imgooley]

I almost never play clean, so a Fender is not for me.

[Carswell98]

I almost never play clean, so a Fender is not for me.

B.B. King's tone = the greatest cleans ever in the history of electric guitar

[imgooley]

True. I love JLH's tone though, just don't know how he did it, because I can't find a reliable source for his gear, other than the Sheraton II with P-90's

[Carswell98]

True. I love JLH's tone though, just don't know how he did it, because I can't find a reliable source for his gear, other than the Sheraton II with P-90's
weak


yeah, I want to replicate B.B.'s tone, I'm still not sure what amp I really want, I really don't care how much I have to spend either

if I bought a good $1500 amp I'd never need another one

then I can focus on getting a good strat and an es-335

[imgooley]

Yeah, once I get my AC30, I'll be happy for a while, but I will probably want a Fender or Ampeg to get a nice treblely jangle when I need it. Probably the Ampeg J-20, or a used Reverb Rocket if I can find one.

And TBH, I like the Sheraton more than the ES-335. I don't know why. I am a sucker for semi's and full hollows though.

I played a sheraton once, it was just too bulky for me, I didn't like it


when I hold an es335 its like holding a piece of condensed awesome though :p:


that amp Kris was talking about earlier doesn't sound all that different from what I want, though a 100 Watts is way the **** too much

[imgooley]

Yeah, way overkill. Not like he's playing the Super Dome or anything. I personally like the tweed model fenders, they have a warmer tone to them. But since you want BB tone, why not get a Superverb, I think that's what he uses.

[Carswell98]

Yeah, way overkill. Not like he's playing the Super Dome or anything. I personally like the tweed model fenders, they have a warmer tone to them. But since you want BB tone, why not get a Superverb, I think that's what he uses.

yeah, I could go that way


I like the tweed amps too though, oh dilemma :(


I'm just going to have to really wring them out side by side to see what I want

[imgooley]

That's what I did when I was deciding on Russian or American Muff. USA all the way.

[imgooley]

I am so ghetto.


The nut on my Ibanez is cut really low, and every time I use slide on the low end of the neck, I hit the frets. So I put some Aluminum Foil on the nut when I strung it and it raised the action nicely.

Straight hood though.

maybe its just an in person thing :confused:





























:eek: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EHSM5GJD87A&feature=related

[imgooley]

Eh, I prefer an AC30TB to a Blackface fender. And I have heard em in person.

[Carswell98]

Eh, I prefer an AC30TB to a Blackface fender. And I have heard em in person.


yeah, it just sounded too glassy and cold, I'm thinking I'll probably end up with a tweed amp


musicians friend has Blues Devilles on for like $900 which isn't even much more than a BJ really, and since I'm assuming a 60W is going to have a lot more clean headroom, it doesn't look like a bad investment


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EHSM5GJD87A&feature=related

and if you didn't already, watch this

[imgooley]

That is a badass little amp

[imgooley]

yesh

[Carswell98]

That is a badass little amp


yep, I don't even know why anyone would want it though

.5W ? :haha


its pretty cool though





























SO:



.........I like blues.......

[imgooley]

Well, a practice/recording amp that has nice natural overdrive I guess. My DA5 get's pretty loud when I set it to 1/2 watts, and it's solid state.

I'd rather have a pig nose, though.

So....








I like blooz too?

[Vagabond21]

Hey guys, when you do a turnaround in a 12 bar blues progression, do you stick to the original key of the song or do you briefly switch to the key of the V chord???

EX: Key of E. For the turnaround do you play in the key of B? (if you arent playing a B chord) or E?

[Carswell98]

no you play in E for the whole thing, that is part of what makes blues so easy, you never have to change the key you are in.

[imgooley]

I play whatever sounds good at the time. if I need to switch, then I do

[gopherthegreat]

i'd say it depends how long you keep playing that chord

[Dimebag22]

http://gui.picresize.com/picresize2/

Just search on Google.

[ze monsta]

Just google "Resize pictures".

http://www.shrinkpictures.com/ Just use that. Save your preferred, and put it into that, and make the dimensions "Custom" and 50.

[Vagabond21]

thanks guys

[ze monsta]

Still haven't done it? :p: Hurry up, I'm interested to see what you've chosen. :haha

[Vagabond21]

It says the pic is too big... this might take a while. lol

I changed it to 50 like you said. I might just have to find a smaller version.

[ze monsta]

What pic is it?
I could do it for you. :)

[Vagabond21]

yes or no?

Chulahoma- the black keys

I don't know if yall like country music, but listen to this. This man is truly amazing, he is the best "chicken picker" I've ever heard.

His next album is going to be all instrumental. Thats right, a country instrumental album.
He plays at a lot of blues and jazz festivals too from what I hear.

http://youtube.com/watch?v=vtNC_mYvAHc

edit: there are some live vids of him playing this but the sound quality isnt great

[Vagabond21]

::crickets chirping::

Whered everyone go?

lol

[ze monsta]

I'm always up for listening to something interesting, and that was great! Don't know if I could listen to a whole album of it, but it was really good. I loved the pedal steel (if it was pedal steel that I heard).

[Vagabond21]

I like mostly older stuff too. Paisley is really the only recent artist I listen to. Well, the Old Crow Medicine Show too. They're more bluegrassish though, and they like cocaine a lot.

Most new country isn't even country

[imgooley]

True. But only take my opinion with a grain of salt. I'm a city boy, mind you.

[Vagabond21]

::starts singing a country boy can survive::

goolz if you get bored this summer just come visit. I will teach you the ways of the land (I'm an eighth or 16th cherokee so that means I automatically know stuff). Lol

^ Thats why I'm 21 and have hardly any facial hair :(

[imgooley]

I'm 19 and got a full beard. And I'm 1/32 cherokee and 1/8 arapahoe.

Maybe it's because I'm also hispanic.

So, do you prefer Tennessee whiskey or Bourbon? Or Scotch?

^ WTF?
My grandpa must have lied to me about the facial hair thing to make me feel better haha.

I rarely drink anymore (because of meds), but back in my hellion days I drank a lot of Jack Daniels and Evan Williams. I liked gin a lot too. I was famous in college for drinking 6 shots of vodka at once. It didn't end well lol. I was already drunk when I did it and I dont really remember much after that.

[imgooley]

I hate vodka.

I am currently defending America against the brits in the pit.

[sre9981]

Scotch by far my favorite hard liquor, beer my favorite soft (I have a penchant for Yeungling)

But I can't turn down a good G&T or mixed drink. Bartending is growing to be a hobby of mine so I'm open to trying anything (and apparently I can make a hella good drink according to my friends :))

[Vagabond21]

Have yall ever had goldshlagger or however you spell it....

I always liked drinkin that but I always drank too much because it tasted so good

[imgooley]

Narp.

I'm 19, so the procuring of alcohol is not easy

[Vagabond21]

Oh... well I think its scnapps, it tastes like big red chewing gum and has gold flakes floating around in it.

You a Browns fan, Jimmy?

yep, I'm a die hard brownies fan. Too bad they never give me much to cheer about, although last year was encouraging.

My brother just dropped my guitar (a set neck sg copy) on it's headstock by accident... :mad:

It's only fair, 3 days after he got his Jazz Bass I managed to kick it over and take a chunk outta the headstock. :o

[Vagabond21]

:( I just found out my grandpa most likely has lung cancer

Just part of life I guess.

[ze monsta]

I'm sorry dude.

My grandma died shortly after new years, it was a real blow, but she was 94, and getting on.
Hopefully your grandpa will be OK.

[Vagabond21]

Yeah... He had histoplasmosis from being around chickens when he was a boy and there is a possibility it could just be scarred tissue. (starts singing rhcp).

It will all be ok though he's a saved man. (sorry if that offends anyone)

[imgooley]

Don't be sorry for having a granddad that believes in God.


Anyway, my grandmother on my dad's side died of lung cancer last year... death happens though.

[theneildeal]

i hope that he gets better!

[ze monsta]

Death is a part of life that is inevitable, and when I come round to dying, like all the old bluesmen, I'll go back to god. I think it's healthy to be able to accept death, but not without morning or a sense of loss.

[Vagabond21]

On a lighter note, I'm going to look at this acoustic after I get off work. http://nashville.craigslist.org/msg/645987978.html

Opinions and comments needed.

[imgooley]

How does it sound?

I dig the design, and it's cool that it's a cutaway. I've never played an alvarez though. I am looking to get a Mitchell myself (before I get a martin)

[Vagabond21]

haha ^

[Vagabond21]

Yeah I've never played an alvarez either. It looks nice though and I've been wanting a cutaway (the acoustic I have now isnt a cutaway).

Hopefully the action is good... Thats the only thing I'm worried about besides the sound

[ze monsta]

I don't like the look of cutaways on acoustics... My acoustic's action is ****e but perfect for slide, it's real high. :haha

[imgooley]

I don't like the look of cutaways on acoustics... My acoustic's action is ****e but perfect for slide, it's real high. :haha
That's like my brother's squier. It is ungodly high.

[ze monsta]

It's ok for finger picking and stuff (just) but it's got really heavy strings for slide, and a very high action, which makes playing anything except slide, very hard work.

[Carswell98]

http://img3.musiciansfriend.com/dbase/pics/products/3/4/3/468343.jpg

I usually think cutaways look bad, except on this

this is my dream acoustic body shape, very nice :liplick:

[gopherthegreat]

thats the exact shape of my acoustic body

[TheDev01dOne]

Pretty much the same as mine too..

http://profile.ultimate-guitar.com/profile_mojo_data/2/8/9/3/289380/pics/_c223803_image_0.JPG

It's a good shape but it's really bassy with the cedar/mahogany. I want something with a smaller body now for slide playing/fingerpicking stuff.

[imgooley]

^get a resonator.

[TheDev01dOne]

Not really interested in resonators TBH. Looking to hopefully get a guitar handmade before I go to take back to Aus with me from a luthier here called Rob Armstrong. Probably end up being like a dreadnaught cutaway but with a thinner waist than normal. Gonna cost a lot though, apparently he says his prices start at £1200 and finish at £1200 so once I have that saved up I'll get my GFs dad to take me up there. My GFs dad has 2 of his instruments, a doubleneck acoustic 6/12 string and a mandocello with solid brazilian rosewood back and sides. They're great, the doubleneck is seriously the nicest acoustic guitar I've ever heard.

[Jimmy94]

I like mostly older stuff too. Paisley is really the only recent artist I listen to. Well, the Old Crow Medicine Show too. They're more bluegrassish though, and they like cocaine a lot.

Most new country isn't even country

I don't think they like cocaine a lot... it's just that cocaine was a recurring subject in old time bluegrass and folk. Cocaine Blues is a traditional tune.

[TeXaS_db]

i know there not blues but i just got Thrice's new CD the other day and it is pretty awesome, especially the earth side. Dustin Kensrue is a great singer/songwriter ranging from many genres such as folk, country, jazz, blues, rock, and hard rock. i think im goin to do a cover of "Come All You Weary".

[Vagabond21]

no offense but thrice makes me wanna barf

[imgooley]

never heard thrice.


and Steve, I listen to plenty of stuff that will make you barf.

I dunno

I really don't like that guy though :mad:

I dunno

I really don't like that guy though :mad:
What do you got against Jack White?

[Carswell98]

What do you got against Jack White?

its just one of those things that is completely inexplicable

I have no reason to, or idea why, i just don't like him :(


*searches for interviews to make me like him*

[imgooley]

Dude, did you check out my demots? Are they any good?

[Carswell98]

yeah, they were alright


**** that dog creeps me out though :p:

[imgooley]

that's the point

[ze monsta]

I'm a Jack White fanboy. :haha

He uses a 1970 Twin Reverb and 2 100 watt Silvertone amps with 6 10 inch speakers. but records on different amps. When playing live I think he uses a Silvertone and the Twin Reverb together...Both on 10...
On Icky Thump he used Tele's quite a lot.

I like this video of him, it's awesome. :haha
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hMJcp1bjzV8

[TheDev01dOne]

I like Jack White, he just seems like a cool interesting dude, I love eccentric people. Not to mention I just want to rub my crotch on his White Penguin or his copper "Triple Jet".. He has some mighty fine guitars these days. Not a fan of that red plastic one though.

[Vagabond21]

Jacks cool.

I also have this strange attraction for meg. I dont really get it

You like her terrible drumlines?

[TheDev01dOne]

http://www.infinitysf.com/live105/photos/bfd/images/White%20Stripes%204.jpg

I'd do it. Isn't she supposed to have some sex video of her floating about? Or is it bull****?

[Vagabond21]

I heard it was bull. I watched it (its only like a minute long) It kinda looks like her but who knows.

Gools, lol I know she plays the drums like a 5 year old, I just think shes hot for some reason.

I know jack and meg used to be married. Now they aren't and jack and his new wife live here in Nashville. I've always wondered how him and meg continue to get along as a band after they've been divorced. No jealousy??? I also wonder if they still do it.

It sucks that meg started having panic attacks and they had to cancel their tour a few months ago... I've more PAs than I can count... I know how she feels.

[Vagabond21]

She also has huge cans btw

[imgooley]

It's empathy then or summat....


Dunno, prefer the girl drummer in this vid. The singer/bassist ain't bad either.

ya that sucks, i was supposed to go to the nebraska show last year fall but they canceled the whole tour like a month before. i hope they tour again. but im goin to see the raconteurs at the end of this month, so its all good.
































and yes i'd do meg!!!!!!



*EDIT*
o and the sex tape was fake. it was supposed to be of jack and meg, but the dude didnt look like jack at all and the chick, who has some similarities (big boobs, long dark hair, pasty white, and a lil pudgy) was not meg.

[TheDev01dOne]

Anyone know any good (simple) songs in open Dm? I tried learning Hard Time Killin' Floor but I can't fingerpick well enough, but I really like the tuning, just been jamming on it for like an hour trying to find cool licks, would like to learn some proper songs in that tuning though.

Also.. Anyone else looking forward to UG Blues album mach II? I know I am, hopefully get something groovy for slide or open tuning happening since it has to be an original.

[TeXaS_db]

is the first UG BA done

[Cal UK]

Got Texas Flood by SRV a few days ago, first classic blues album, really amazing.

[ze monsta]

I was supposed to see The Stripes at the O2 in November, but they cancelled. *humph*
Oh well, I'll be sure to see them next time around.

I saw "Shine a Light", The Rolling Stones documentary by Martin Scorcese today (whilst I should have been at school taking some exams :haha) it wasn't so much a documentary, more of a recording of a concert. But a ****ing incredible concert. Buddy Guy, Jack White and Christina Aguilera [sp?] play as well. All the clips for the past are good though, but not long, and they are always stoned and never give proper answers to any questions.

[imgooley]

You should get some second hand tix to the Black Keys.


And did you check out that band that I posted. They're brits, I think from leeds

[Slaveaway]

That guy has some disgusting face. :puke:


He was a stereotypical redneck.

[TheDev01dOne]

Too much gain, delay, compression and wankery for me, but he has good technique and some nice licks. I like the weird thing he does when he plays a flat note and the bends it up to pitch, sounds cool but I imagine it takes lots of practice to get it right.

[Carswell98]

^ that is really all I was talking about


I mean, he is good considering who he is...

a fat redneck playing guitar to a video camera in his basement....right?

[Dimebag22]

See kids, that's what Skoal does to your teeth. :p:

He's a fairly good guitar player though.

[TheDev01dOne]

What is Junior Kimbrough's best album? I got meet me in the city but it seems a bit rough, can't hear the vocals and ****.

Chulahoma is great I love how Dan(? Is he the guitarist?) gets the vocal melody going on slide while he sings it in a lot of the songs, that is probably one of the things I like best out of all guitar playing. Just sounds so cool to me.
