Quick! Whats the difference between an Epiphone Les Paul and a Gibson Les Paul?

The sound, man. The sound.

Does it weigh as much as the Gibson? I played one once and it made my shoulder sore after a while.

Please to link up some wavs demonstrating the new axe.

I play my bass through an Ashdown amp. I love it. Assuming that's an Ashdown guitar amp (some guitar players have been known to use bass amps), I wonder how it sounds.

You realize you're never getting your hot sauce now, right?

That is a bass amp. On top of the bass amp is a cheapy little practice amp, which I currently have the guitar plugged into.

Suboptimal, I agree, but the practice one has a headphone jack, which comes in handy when I'm practicing the "DJ scratching" section of Bulls On Parade for five straight hours.

It's not overplayed if you don't listen to the radio.

And, how can you overplay that song? When does wow wow chicka wow wow chicka chicka chicka get old? Answer: NEVER.
Can you do the effects in Down Rodeo?
Soon. SOON! That's possibly my favorite Morello solo ever.

Oh! To any interested parties! I am interested in selling my Toneworks AX10G effects pedal. It's basically one of the "everything + kitchen sink" kind of effects pedals. It's in fine condition, although one of hte buttons sticks a little. Fortunately it's one of the effect buttons that you don't really need to use. Comes with an AC adaptor. It's got a line out to an amp as well as a minijack out so's you can rock out with headphones on. http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/ ... c=3SOSWXXA
Make me an offer!

Those of me that are looking into a chorus pedal replacement, might well be interested


one on ebay here

I could be persuaded to part with fifty American dollars for it (to start)

Funny, I use a bass amp for my Fender because it can shake the attic windows, and I like that. Also has more tone than the little practice amp.


Did I post about the guitar mod I did over here? Can't remember..

No. But I am still looking forward to that cover of Beaver's "Claim to Fame"! Nobody has ever covered one of our songs before. The singer's brother has a band and they tried to do "Carnival Baby" but I am not sure whatever became of it. Vark... you'd be the first!

Well here's the deal with the C2F cover. I had 80 percent of it done when my HD crashed, and crashed hard. The good news is that I had burned that 80 percent onto a CD so I could work on the solos. The bad news is that all the separate tracks are on the doorstop formerly know as a hard drive. That means I have to re-record everything as closely as I can to what I had, then move forward with that...which is good news as I have a much better computer in which to record on. This brings us to ...singing.

The other half (not the better half, tho) has some domestic issues which I will extoll in another post in a minute. So I have asked my 19 year old if he would like to give the song a try. He has been taking voice lessons once a week for the past two years and kicks ass verbally, if you take my meaning. He is currently a finalist in the Brockport Idol thing. He seems hesitant about singing the song because it's kinda out of his range, or maybe he doesn't want to associate with us ameteurs or something. I dunno. I will keep after him, tho. I have this overdubbing idea about the chorus parts that will sound mondo great. Maybe over the holidays I can get him to run through it a couple three times.

So stay tuned, but don't wait with baited breath, I have three more projects going on right now. They are:

1) repainting the motorcycle fneders in time for the spring.
here for details

2) cleaning and repairing the PINBALL MACHINE! Finally got my brother to give it to me!

3) moving all my VHS home movies onto DVD so the world can finally see what a goofus I am. Remember that short video with me sticking the knife in the toaster over and over? It may yet be on youtube....

Seeing as how you haven't responded to the Fifty American dollars offer, I can only think that you feel like the amount was beneath contempt. The proper haggling response should be along the lines of....

"INFIDEL! I would not sell the fleas off my camel's testicles to you for fifty dollars! I curse the sand you walk! This is a genuine Toneworks effect, I could no more part with it than I could one of my goats. ________ Dollars! And not a penny less, you son of a diseased bag-wan!"
(spit at my feet here)


Then I would offer more than Fifity, but less than the blank you fill in...

Something like that. Actually I was hoping that more than one person would hop on the offer so that I could pretend liek I actually have just a little bit of haggling power to leverage. But yeah, not meaning to be an ass but 50 dollars is kind of low considering the amount of things one can do with this pedal.

I was also thinking in the 100+ range, but let's not tip our wallet hands here, eh?
