(think plexi) Only £125 off ebay and has orginal mullard tubes in! man its gonna rock, oh then in to a homebuilt 2x12 cab, but I might make it into two 1x12 cabs. there ya go, my punk/rock/what ever im playing rig!

lovekraft Posted June 17, 2004 Report Share Posted June 17, 2004 I dunno - simple, maybe, but after watching Johnny Ramone knock out almost an hour of metronome-steady downstrokes, "easy" wasn't the first word that sprang to mind! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snork Posted June 17, 2004 Report Share Posted June 17, 2004 let me define the punk genre in a simple formula. overdriven guitar loud ass bass. loud ass drummer. (sometimes talented) I-IV-V chord progression choose key. scream. EDIT: the answer to your question. solid state amps are fine for a punk sound. anything with decent metal overdive is fine. and a humbucking guitar.

PaulNeeds Posted June 17, 2004 Report Share Posted June 17, 2004 Long time ago - about 1978 - the band I was in used to play a lot of new wave stuff - Johnny Thunders, Pistols, Ramones.. Marshall and an LP DC-type (Gordon Smith) springs to mind, but I myself used what is now called a fat strat into a Sound City 50W Concorde combo. Wish i still had it...

If you actually listen to what joey ramone, and jello biafra were screaming about, you would bust a gut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for summing up the movement that brought us The Clash, The Jam, Black Flag, The Police, Flipper, The Buzzcocks and especially The Ramones so succinctly - and what genre of heavy music doesn't that describe? You sound like my dad, dude! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
