  1. Wow! Now that is cool as hell to be able to get lynchy with the man himself!
  2. Dazed

    A Good Deal?

    Bingo! I mean seriously. If you looked at SRV's #1 guitar and he was some guy on the street, how much would you really offer for that guitar? Granted it is a Fender but it had a lot of character. What is that thing worth today? A million ? If you like it and it sounds good, that is all that matters.
  3. Hi guys! We just completed a Blues tune, my first "blues tune" actually. In light of the Paris Hilton events, I decided to make it a kind of fun tune. Anyway I figured I would post it and see what you guys think. Credits: Warren Peese - Drums Floridamusic - Solos, Keys, Mix & Master Dazed - Guitar, Bass & vocals Paris The Heiress
  4. If cash is not an option, buy it. If you consider it an investment, you have to look at it like a savings account. You will get your money back eventually. Providing you take care of it! I think it is a good price si I would probably jump on it.
  5. I use a V-Amp Pro into an MBox with Pro Tools. At times I will mic my Carvin SX300H amp with a Carvin M68. For vocals I use a Carvin CM87S Large Diaphragm Condenser mic. As for latency, I have not experienced any with the MBox. That is one of the reasons I wanted to go external. Pro Tools is a great setup but for those of you considering it, do some research first and make sure your system will run it. Vista is not supported yet but will be soon. Some Motherboards are also not supported. It is requested that you use two hard drives. Pro Tools on one and Projects on the other. I had errors running on one hard drive. RAM Is Key! Get as much as you can afford. Pluggins eat resources like Roseanne Barr eats twinkies.
  6. If you do not get this resolved here is the easiest way to help your situation. Call the corporate office, usually you can google all the information, and ask for their executive customer relations office. If they do not have one, ask for the VP of Sales or President of the Company. You can also look for their email addresses on the internet. Once you escalate to these levels, they do not want to deal with it so they will usually just replace the item. What you are asking for is not unfair. You just want them to honor their obligation since they sold you this "insurance policy". Sadly I have had to do this three times in my life and the results were always the same. I got what I wanted every time. I go through the normal channels first and no one wanted to correct the issues. After two months, I told the reps that since they were unable to resolve the issue, I would handle it myself. I googled the presidents of the three companies and found their names. Then I looked for how their email addresses were defined for the company. Like bob.jones@isp.com or b_jones@isp.com. Once I have the format I send a blind cc to variations of the name. Usually I get several bounce backs and one that goes through. I have had a phone call the next day from the executive customer relations group telling me how they were going to resolve my issue. One example...I had a toshiba laptop that did not work right from bootup. I reloaded the OS 4 times and had errors on the install. I sent it back and they returned it a few days later. None of the issues I told them about were addressed. They changed the RAM out and said it was fine. Same issues. Login file always corrupt and you could not get to a windows screen or even get into safe mode. I told them I wanted a new laptop. After two months I got in touch with the VP of Customer Relations. I shipped the laptop to them and they determined the processor was defective. They shipped me a new laptop and upgraded it like you would not believe. The new laptop rocks! Anyway try this as a last resort.
  7. Thanks InbanezFreak. We are in the process of redoing it all. Everything was retracked and it is in the mix /master process. Hopefully it will be done by the weekend. If I remember correctly the bassline was B, G, B, G, E, G, D
  8. Yeah this sounds great and you do make it look easy
  9. I like the Carvin's! http://www.carvin.com/products/group.php?CID=SX - solid state amps (I use an SX300H) http://www.carvin.com/products/group.php?CID=VINT - if you up your budget a bit and want tube
  10. Sad state of affairs. You may sometimes wonder how all the sudden there are large amounts of figured maples that hit the market. The wood is not that common, but it seems to show up as though it is. It doesn't supprise me at all. Peace, Rich I think there are so many boutique guitars on the market now that are really drawing attention to the figured and flamed maples. My carvin CT6M is a flamed maple and it definitley looks stunning. I can't believe these guys would cut down trees of this magnitude to grab a few body blanks.
  11. I will take that as a compliment! The 80's music had some substance
  12. ok maybe this is not going to go over so well here lol. Here is where the track stands so far for us. The mix is not final. With luck we should have some real drums on this by the weekend. Chrickon did an amazing job on guitars. The man is outstanding! I have redone the vocals several times so hopefully these will stick. http://www.guitaristworks.com/actions/actions_updated.mp3
  13. I wrote this bass line awhile back and then added vocals and some guitar but just was not happy with it. So I scrapped it. Periodically I like to write bass lines first and then add the rest. It helps me mix things up a bit. So here is the bass line with a drum loop on it. The goal on this is to write a complete guitar piece (and whatever else you want to add) and with luck have several variations of it. I will post the version I have later Anyone up for it? <right click - Save Target As to save to your PC> http://www.guitaristworks.com/forum/files/...ngineer_909.mp3
  14. I won't even listen to all of them lol. We just do this as a hobby. It keeps me off the streets.
  15. I read about it in the last issue of Sound on Sound magazine, and was glad to hear about it because I'd always wanted their Amp Farm which has been used on tons of records, but it was only a TDM Pro Tool format. I was finally glad to see Line 6 to put out a new plugin that the RTAS, VST, and AU format, for us less fortunate to not own a Pro Tools HD setup. So, I'm definitely wanting to buy it soon. I've also got my eye out on IK Multimedia's new Amplitube Jimi Hendrix plugin. Yeah I'd seen Alex using some Behringer stuff. BTW, have you bought the newest Rush album? It just came out. Actually my wife grabbed it yesterday off of itunes. She was never a huge RUSH fan but said it is very ggod. Matter of fact I think the "word of mouth" she did on it sold about 10 copies already!
