actually, he's probably switching between the 10-band and the 7-band...or maybe blackface to silverface

Blixton wrote Velvet underground yes yes - without moe tucker's vibes, where would sonic youth have found their sound? my jazz drummer buddy shudders every time i play my 180 grams of White Light/White Heat..but the Lips, yeah - i still haven't made up my mind about BSS, they seem just a little too ...

yes yes, the linear versus 3-D thing does indeed clarify some things in my fuzzy little head - thanks

from Brian May...to this
ah, the joys of living in the ebay generation

cool. instant happy eq - any chance you could just wire in a bypas switch? haven't got the new issue yet (maybe i should check my mailbox?)

okay, so i was thinking about this last night, trying to use my admittedly meager knowledge of the science of sound, and here's what i came up with (feel free to call bullsharts on it): first, i'm hearing that a 20Hz tone completes one full cycle over a distance of 60 feet. so imaging a strand of ya...

oh yeah, and as far as "back when he just wanted to be a rock star"? No way man - he wrote stuff that was designed to incite riot. Read "Helter Skelter" for his views on Revelation 9 and Revolution 9

Manson did several recordings over the years - the best one (in my opinion) is "All the Way Alive", out of print from People's Temple Records, which is just him and his guitar, singing short bursts of music and ranting in between to someone (might be Melcher - that seemed to ring a bell) about his g...

not that i'm a big time metal-head or anything but yeah, in terms of just entertainment value? Dillinger Escape Plan/Soilent Green in NOLA, Feb 15, 2004 - talk about the depths of hell, man, i was up on the front row, thought i was gonna get chopped in half from the barricade, and then that little d...

hmm...i've never really tried to catch as low as 20 Hz, or at least i haven't ever felt the need for that deep/big/long/whatever (insert beavis laugh here) a sound...but in my twelve by twenty space, which features ceilings that are over twenty feet (the secret to my lousy drum sounds), a large bass...

i may not have all the science down - if beard of bees thinks i don't know what i'm talking about, then i guess i probably don't. but when i mic up a beastly huge bass cab, my best sound (the sound that i like) is usually with an ldc 4-5 feet back, along with something like a shitty kick mic right u...

what kind of room will you be recording in? those big huge live bass sounds need room to develop, i.e. room mics in a well balanced room, and sometimes they still just don't sound as good as some little 10 watt amp

His idea of an upright bass sound is to roll it off above I dunno 1K or so, it's almost a dub sound. But I'm mixing this, so that can be corrected.

i hope you don't mean that's what he sent to tape?

who says harsh can't be a good thing? love those tones on "Entertainment!", even though they came out of a craptacular solid state...then again, i guess sometimes guitar tone is like boobies - great when covered in wool

definitely makes a sound like kick - pulling feedback into thin ines for the grasshoppers
