Based on the headstock, it does look like the Yahama.

Sound City film Josh Homme bass

Went hunting around for info about this bass again, but no luck. Can anyone ID the maker?

Here's a screen cap:

Anyone able to identify the hollowbody bass Josh Homme is playing during the "Mantra" jam with Reznor? It's around the 3/4 mark in the film.

Thought it might be Epiphone or Hofner, but the headstock doesn't seem to match:

Can You Name This Guitar? (totally 80's edition!)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CqmDb0xKsNM& The guitar happens to be hot pink, and can best be seen starting at 2:05. Don't forget to check out its player, Maxine Petrucci, who in addition to being bodacious plays some pretty mean leads. I have combed the net trying to find out what kind of guitar ...

Wow, thanks for the answer, Farview! The TOMB rules! Especially since I posted this question as a lark. Spent gobs of time trying to figure it out on my own, with no luck.

And of course, much respect that you worked for Manowar back in the day.

Can you ID this electric guitar?

Manowar alert! If you are offended by True Metal , please exit this post. The guitar in question can be glimpsed at 0:45. A closer look can be had at 2:50, when Ross the Boss plays his fiery solo. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-4qTi7cDtI4 Making fun of Manowar never gets old... But I really do want...

Hi all -- Just wanted to bring everyone up to date on my situation with Curvebender, Brian and RtB. Brian did indeed make good on his promise to process my refund and send me a complementary book. This was much more than what I was looking for when I posted here on the TOMB (to release frustration, ...

I am also pretty sure Brian and Kevin are upstanding gentlemen. They obviously put a lot of hard work and passion into their book, and hey -- after all, they are Beatles fans. (Brian, I just got your PM and will send you an email. Thanks for posting.) My beef is with their publisher, who were suppos...

that sucks - but it's been out of stock for a while though, no? When I ordered in May, and through the summer, there was nothing on the website to indicate it was out of stock. Only recently (probably September) a note popped up on the order page that it was out of stock and up for reprinting. Anyw...

Re: Recording the Beatles. . NEVER SENT

Original post is 3 years old but I can weigh in that my experience with ordering Recording the Beatles from Curvebender has been a horrible failure. I never even got the book. Back in May I paid the $100 + shipping for the book on their website. Never got a shipment notice. No response to my multipl...

It seems from memory that he was using a pair of mics relatively close to a spaced pair of speakers (maybe a foot or two away from each speakers) This is good to know... If this is indeed his "early reflections" technique, it seems conservative! (Especially compared to the Depeche Mode warehouse th...

As far as your comment of "But only one mic, no combination?" Huh? Use your imagination... Eh, sorry, I guess I should've phrased this question more glibly. Reading your original post I was unsure whether you meant a single room mic for the keyboard sound, or use of multiple mics. The warehouse thi...

Just pretend the keyboard needs to play out in a room, and choose how you want to record it. How much room, or "air" do you want on that sound? Makes sense, I guess you can't say it any simpler than that! But only one mic, no combination? And I might as well ask, was there an average distance you g...
