I've used DR's for years after a bass player of mine got me into them. I agree with the others in that I can't give a good reason to use them other than that they just feel better, but I don't think people who swear by Slinky's or D'Addario's are using any harder science than that.

I was going thru my youtube videos the other day and re-discovered this clip from a show Damienblar17 and I did a few months back. Kinda shows the more grungy turn we are taking. Hope you guys dig it!

Just re-recorded this tune I wrote for my sister, who would be 27 today. She passed away 2006. Kind of a different sound for us.

Thanks to all who are listening! So that's me playing guitar and singing lead on the track. Since I my guitar rig was ss.org appropriate I'd like to share it: Guitars - Fender mustang, 1966, little 59'er in bridge + Rickenbacker 360 (on loan, sad to have to give it back) Amps - 50w JCM 800 with the ...

Analogue: MXR carbon copy

+ 1 for the carbon copy. I have one myself and love it. Absolutely huge delay in a small, convenient box.

Just wanted to give an update on this. Thanks again for all the helpful info. I sold the big box holy grail and bought a nano-version for the same price (lucky me). You guys were totally right about the power supply issue. I now use the nano daisy-chained thru the onespot with no hum! Will have to p...

cool, thanks for all the responses. I'll try the original power supply as soon as I get a chance.

Hiwatt Bob wrote:What power supply are you using?

Great question. I'm using a one-spot. From what I've read the one-spot can be noisy, but after I remove the Grail the noise is gone.

I do have the original power supply, tho, so I will give that a try.

So I just got a Holy Grail, pre-nano version like so http://www.centralmusic.com/products/photos/2040.jpg While I love the sound of the effect, the pedal is extremly noisy. There is a high pitched buzz/whine that is constantly present even when the pedal is turned off. I tried different patch cords,...

I'm so glad someone noticed / liked the jazz hands! I have a joke about jazz hands that precedes this one, so that's why I'm doing it.

I'm in the process of writing material for one. I'm confident by the end of this year I'll have enough material to record something I'll be proud of.

*update March 28* this joke has been added http://www.rooftopcomedy.com/watch/HatchbackDevastation Another couple should be coming in the next few days! *original post* What's up guys, been a while since I've posted any of my stand-up offerings. One of my new bits is on Rooftopcomedy.com's front pag...

I was in that place about a year ago, lots of sg Juniors and Jags to play around with. I must've spent a couple of hours in there just noodling around.

ok, what a bunch of fagz. like this hasn't been done before. dude in rob zombie had a guitar with fucking BLOOOOOOOD in it. http://c1.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/41/l_a1d4845937d5e4fd672f732e9b9e3054.jpg this is the blood filled guitar, but not the rob zombie guitar player. [/spoil] Lol, this...

sigh, their instruments are awesome but god I hate this band. They sound like long-form commercial jingles to me, just so bland and neutered. I imagine someone holding a bottle of Crest to the screen during the middle of one of these.

That being said, the mustang bass in clip 2 is sick.
