I've had good luck with these guys.

I love the Lab Series L5. It's one of the best sounding amps I've played. Maybe not the character of an old fender but is has huge sack and great tone.

Use Vaseline. It worked for Monk Montgomery. I do it sometimes if my strings are too sticky. It'd probably work a lot like chicken grease without being totally f-ing disgusting.

You could also try a foam mute under the strings. Or try flatwounds.

Definitely get a Nomad Jukebox 3. Get it factory refurbished off Ebay for <$200. It has line in, two line outs, fire wire and usb, and records optically or thru a 1/8" jack direcly to a WAV file! I've read the irivers have a lot of digital popping when they record thru their mic in. Some really bad ...

If I have to hear that f-ing solo at the end of Layla one more time, I'm going to hurt myself.

Jimmy Vaughan, now that guy can play. Too bad he can't sing or write lyrics.

Most things played by Eric Clapton get way overated.

I like the hearbreaker solo. I'll take it over Clapton's pussy stat tone anyday.

Along similar lines of the freebird solo, how about the Allman Brothers? I mean give me a break. Are those guys good guitar players? I don't hear it.

If you want to see a ^##$%ing good band, go see Tim Gearan at the Toad in Porter Square Cambridge on Monday night.

Pick up some Charlie Christian

A Twin is almost an identical circuit electronically to the bassman (except twice the power). The only thing you might hurt is the speakers. If you place low you shouldn't have a problem.

Think they have both active and passive versions...

A lot of disussion about building and repairing tube amps.

Aretha Franklin - Amazing Grace. Aretha sings in front of the Southern California Community Choir with Reverend James Cleveland. It's unbelievable.
