Sweetass LPs. Between the two just based on looks alone it would be really tough for me to pick one.

Any of you in the Austin area ever check out The Rythm Dawgs? They are a mostly classic rock cover band that plays a lot around Pfluegerville, Round Rock, etc. The guitar player is an old acquaintance and I see his facebook posts, he's a good dude and they're a fun band. He takes an insane number of guitars to local pub gigs. I think he has a guitar for every song, or just about.

And a new ampeg cabinet. So maybe I do need a 3rd bass. Actually, I’ve been wanting to mount them between these windows in my music room and there are 3 spots. Hmmmm.

If I’m not mistaken, the gold Jazz Bass is the 60s version with dot markers. The silver is the 70s version with block markers. 

Go for the gold.

I've seen "It Might Get Loud" a half dozen times.  I own it.  

There are times when Jimmy Page plugs in and I just can't imagine how someone could play with that much sound.  I just don't get it.  His style is simply massive.  He's a little sloppy, but for fuck's sake, his groove is just perfect with Bonham and Jones.  

On the flip side, I don't think the HS talent show trio is that bad.  I mean, they're kids.  At least they gave it a shot.  I'm pretty sure my HS band sounded worse.  (That said, our drummer kicked total ass, and had a full ride to Eastman.)

#6067

Page is my favorite guitarist, hands down. What he does seems not that complicated, and it really isn't, but he proves the adage that it's all in your fingers. Such a great ear, as well. The bit where he kind of laments not coming up with the "Seven Nation Army" riff is telling. 

"How in the fuck did I not think of that?"

#6068

Oh, and Page's sloppiness makes him. He brings it right to the edge of collapse and somehow blows your mind when he pulls it off.

The early studio versions of a lot of the songs released with the last reissues are telling. He knows exactly what he's doing.

Goddam. He must spend all day packing/setting up/repacking gear.

I've played hundreds of gigs in my life.  I suck.  Still, taking more than 2-3 guitars seems like total overkill.

i would quit a band with an asshole who was taking up that much real estate or fucking up the flow with constant guitar changes.

cruser - why not learn?  if you have any kind of rhythm in 45 minutes you could be good enough to play every u2 song.

I've taken a few lessons. I might start back up. I'm more of a student about the history and shit of music. That stuff really interests me.

Don't like the neck. And the jazz sits on my lap better. I bought a p with a jazz neck and returned it. I do like the look of the p better. I've also been looking at a chowny.

I’m assuming you guys have the Celebration Day dvd. Awesome shit.

yeah I was expecting something much worse given the title of the video

Here's another tone example for the Les Paul Standard 60s that Deej and I got.  This was close to my favorite tone that I got through my brother's collection of amps/pedals, and it was dirt simple.  Just guitar -> mythic overdrive -> vox AC30 normal channel with a little reverb.  The tone through the Dirty Shirley and Orange were similar, with no pedals.  I think these tones were a lot better than what I got with this guitar through the Diezel amp which I posted examples of earlier.

Anyway, if you want a modern metal/Tom Jones type of sound, you would probably rather have a Les Paul Standard "Modern" with bursbucker pros.  If you want a classic rock sound and can pair this guitar with fx/amps/amp mods that could also be described as "classic", I think this guitar will give you exactly what you want.
 


Any chance we can hear some sounds through the Supro, @deej?

#6080

I'll work on it. 

In the meantime, here's a Les Paul through that same amp. 

 

#6082

I just used the a "Voice Recorder" note recorder app on my phone setting it somewhat close to the amp, converted to MP3 with the same app and uploaded to soundcloud through its app on my phone.

#6083

lol, Tom Jones should be Adam Jones in my post above.  That’s what I get for posting before coffee.  Trying to imagine Tom Jones doing tool covers now.

Those are rarely gone.  On your behalf I called and spoke to "Dave" (ext 2391) and he said he can still do $499.  Call him.

#6089

Before that one this morning, they had the purple sparkle Road Worn Tele for $799.

I can see that. I think Fender did a signature bass for Mark Hoppus a while back that was a Jazz body with a Pbass pickup. Not sure what neck they used for it though.

Yeah, it's been 72 hours since we've seen any new gear around here. 

I am having withdrawals from the weekend's Les Paul binge.

Pretty soon we're all going to be turning tricks to by Epi Les Pauls.
