Its the guitar players home studio.
Ironically, the band consists of all members of different cover bands in the area. If anything comes of it, we'll go to a pro studio of coarse.

Umm, so you are a cover band? I wouldn't worry about all of that cookie cutter stuff you were talking about. If you play cover songs, there are no less than 100,000 people in Philly/Jersey that could play in your band. Since you do play covers you should be doing whatever you possibly can to get mo...

Get it set up professionally and practice your technique if you want to get rid of fret buzz. Any guitar with lowish action will buzz if you hit it hard enough. what he said, and find if your a finger or pick player, I prefer fingers. You will want to set the action a bit differently if your gonna ...

I know there is alot of shit in here, but it makes us appeal to "our crowd" This is our current song list. tell me what you think. I won't be offended, I'm not in love with all of these songs either, but someone in the band is, so se play them. We try and put 2 or 3 new songs a month and r...

We are hoping the fact that they are soliciting us, rather us soliciting them that it might give us some leverage. There is a buzz around our band for the last few months in the small rooms that we are pulling pretty decent crowds and I think some of the bigger clubs are hearing it. While it is flat...

Management involves contracts and telling them to "fuck themselves" breaches that contract and sets you up for legal liability, an ugly situation you want no part of if you take playing music seriously. I'd say "fuck that". I'm an artist first and foremost and no one will have a...

I'm not sure how it might work in other states/countries, but here is a situation that my band is in right now. We are being "looked at" by a local management company. We have always done our own booking and managed ourselves. In this area all the "A rooms" are management booked ...

there's a lot of them in jersey, but they disguise themselves as emo kids, which gets very misleading. Axlash, your from Jersey? what exit? North or South? new brunswick homie, central jersey. I'd say exit 130ish on the parkway. No shit, I work right up the road from ya. I knew you weren't from sou...

My band can't seem to find a goddamn singer, so I guess I'm going to give it a shot...again. The trouble is that I imagine the songs I write or that we have written with a certain voice over them, not my voice. I either try to emulate this voice, or some other singer's voice. I don't have "my ...

I play through a solid state SWR workingpro 700. I used to have one of those so called paper weights too, an Ampeg SVT I love my light SWR rig, but had I known that a classic SVT would be worh it's weight in gold now, I would have never got rid of it. And actually, I think tube sound tends to be mor...

PABassPlayer

OK, agreed, but there is a noticable difference between a solid state "tube sound" and a real tube sound, don't you think?

PABassPlayer

Fuck it, Get a Line 6 amp and change your sound as you see fit for whatever application you choose. One of my bands guitarist uses a Line 6 Flextone II. If you take the time to learn it, it can be pretty amazing. But bottom line, you can emulate alot of heads and speaker configurations, but it will...

my redemption lies within your demise, PABassPlayer very profound! Look, I'm not trying to be a dick, but bro!! That is bad music. I listened again to make sure I was correct.

I saw Stryper in the 80's "Are you, a soldier under Gods Command" and that kind of shit. Very talented, it's been awhile, but I remember the guitarist was amazing. The most annoying part of the show was the 8000 "happy christians" that had no idea how to rock out. They were there...

I'd comment, but most of the people posting in here are little guitar hackers that play in their bedrooms or mom and dads basement. The only time that have been on a stage was in their 3rd grade christmas choir, but they feel that they have the information you need to be a "real rockstar"...

Saw Rush at a community college in upstate NY in 1974, I was 9 yrs old. (pre-Neil Peart) While I'm not a huge Rush fan now, Geddy Lee blew me away then and still always amazes me. I still go see them when they come around, the guy is a genius with a bass. As I got older, Steve Harris, Bob Daisly, Fr...

I know, thats why I said that both of my guitarists used the overdrive pedal also. It is a cheaper alternative. I beleive that's what he was looking for.

If not, my bad.

I bought a Boss EQ pedal and ran it through my effects loop in my shitty 65 watt Marshall. It turned the shitty built-in Marshall distortion into a better distortion than I could have dreamed of. When I had it I scooped the mids and boosted the lows and highs and it sounded great for what I used it...

PABassPlayer

uh, a cry baby is a wah pedal, that's tonal changes.
a whammy does pitch up/down and octave changes.
Two different products Axl.

If you can find an old Whammy II, even better.

not trying to impress anyone. I play originals but didn't write them, so it's not my place to post them. If my singer and guiatrist want to they can. I play in a cover band too, it gets me regular gigs and they pay. I know that cover bands are shit, but at least I'm playing. Gives us a chance to pla...
