There is a thread that Larry responded to from a while back. The basic point was that when he recorded with Larry, Elliott would just use whatever was around and that his sound was in his fingers. That said, he did use a Yamaha FG-180 acoustic and they are cool sounding guitars. I have one and if yo...

Nope, the shipping companies require the shipper to file the claim, not the receiver. The shipper is the one who they have the shipping agreement with as that party initiated the transaction. Just FYI.

Supposedly the FG stands for "Folk Guitar" and the number (110, 140, etc...) referred to the suggested retail price at the time they were released.

The red label models that say "Nippon Gakki" were made in Japan and seem to command more money than the ones without. In the early 70's they moved production to Taiwan and the early Taiwan FG's have the same labels sans the "Nippon Gakki" (which makes sense as the phrase translates roughly as "made ...

Also, they left off the solo from Steely Dan's "Rikki don't lose that number" by Jeff "Skunk" Baxter? I read somewhere that Jimmy Page thought that was the best solo of all time. Elliott Randall played the Rikki solo. He also played the one on "Kings" from the same album. Skunk and Denny Dias playe...

I'm sure he has used lots of stuff, but in the out of print "Who Killed That Bird on Your Windowsill" video you can see him singing into a Shure SM7 on some of the tracks from Southern Harmony. On Thorn in My Pride he is holding it in his hands and singing while the whole band is playing the song li...

It's a legendary space. The control room is tiny and the general layout is pretty quirky but because of every incarnation's affordability it's always been used by lots of rad bands. the building/studio has been called Triangle, Reciprocal, John & Stu's and most recently, The Hall of Justice. Just of...

Neither the Electro or the Stage has Mellotron sounds. The guy must have been using the Electro as a controller for another module or sampler or something. Both the Electro and Stage come with Hammond, Rhodes, Wurlitzer, Clavinet and acoustic piano sounds. The Stage adds Farfisa and Vox Continental ...

I have searched the board for info on this mic, but am wondering if folks who have used it can comment on how you like it. I'm specifically wondering about how it sounds on acoustic guitar. There is a link on the company's site to a review of the SA538 (non "B") version that gave it great reviews on...

FWIW, the first and third songs on the album, Panda and Festival were recorded in a proper studio in Sweden. The rest of the stuff was tracked on the Korg. If you A/B those tracks with the other stuff you can totally hear the difference. Plus those are two of the songs that are getting the most atte...

Led Zep recorded a lot of their fourth record in Headley Grange, a space which, according to Page & Plant was mostly legendary for how cold it was all the time. Supposedly the entry room where they had Bonham's drums set up for tracking had a great vibe though. The drums for Levee Breaks were record...

no one here is confused about the role of gear vs. talent. What the hell? You obviously don't hang out here very often. Or on any other Audio-related board, for that matter. jt I do hang out here a lot, even if I don't post that much. Even if people are confused about gear vs. talent, I think the T...
