What's the deal with the faded gibson guitars? Why are they cheaper than the regular ones?

thanks,

I play rock music in the vein of neil young, tom petty, ween, pavement. What I meant by supplementing my sound was to have a different sounding guitar. I have the bases covered with the strat, tele, and les paul. I love those sounds but I'm curious as to what else is out there. Everyone has favorite...

Thanks for all of the info. I was thinking of getting something to supplement the basic sounds that I get now out of a strat, tele, and epiphone les paul.

Keep the suggestions coming.

What are some favorite cheap electric guitars. I guess I'm interested mainly in older guitars that could be had on ebay.

How do you replace it, in case I ever break mine?

The Lemonheads- eponymous
Tom Petty - Highway Companion

Two great albums from two great artists. Tom Petty finally came back strong after that terribly mediocre The Last DJ. The Lemonheads album is probably my favorite out of all of their albums. Evan Dando is a master of pop/rock.

I would love to see someone go through the myspace bands on this sight and post a few of the "best" ones. That would also be pretty cool for those bands to get some recognition.

Does anyone have the ability and/or know how to record a choir and orchestra in San Diego. It would be for USD. Please let me know ASAP.

What were the standard live mics before shure took over the world?

I have sound proofing fiberglass available for pickup in san diego. It cost about $200 I think. I have no use for it now and am sick of having it laying around. Let me know if you are interested. I will take best offer.

Ween, evan dando, neil young

That album is still stuck in my ipod. I can't get enough of it. I've also been very into tom petty's new album, highway companion. I can't wait to see the lemonheads live when they come to town. I saw dando on his solo tours and he was great. He actually sat down next to me at one of the shows while...

What a return for the Lemonheads. This album is a cross between Lovey and Come on Feel. Evan Dando is truly the best pop/rock writer of the last 20 years imho. I hope he continues to stay off the drugs!!! Say no to crack Evan!

P.S. I'd love to see a tapeop article about Dando.

I just saw that the New Yorker magazine is offering a dvd set of every issue ever printed. It is 9dvd's and only costs $60. I know the folks at TapeOp probably don't have time to do such a thing, but it sure would be cool. You can even search the text of the New Yorker issues for keywords. http://ww...

Check out Rookie Card from San Diego. They are exactly what you're looking for. I haven't heard their new album but the first two are great.
