You know, those old Silvertone amps are a good buy on ebay.
So are last years motocross pants.

Amps are (or more important) as guitars in capturing sound if that is your thing.Originally posted by Matt White
Nice! I always love when somebody ask how many guitars I own. NOT ENOUGH!!!
I also write songs. I'm a vocalist. Also play keys and drums (but not violin, not that I wouldn't mind!).Originally posted by pete
A '59 les paul
A brand new gretsch hollow body (which I love)
A takimine acoustic
a richenbacher double neck (bass/12 string)
I'm a songwriter
I also play violin, keys and drums.
What kind of material do you write?
I write a lot of funky stuff, plus anthemic songs, pop tunes, blues...lots of Beatles-ish stuff. What kind of stuff do you write?
Do you not like Strats?

I love the classic amps. I love the original pickups on strats too. they're noisy but with a noise gate you get the vintage sound.Originally posted by Matt White
I got an old Peavy classic100watt amp. Beat to shit but I payed $50 for it in 1987!!! LOL
AND...My old sears 10watt practice amp!!! The Mosquito!!!!!
My charvel has an active pickup that was called a "parametric EQ". Basically it allows yous you to use your pinky (on a volume knob) as a wah.
but anyway - It's 1am. goodnight

I remember when I started playing and '59s where going for between 5-10K. FUCK!!!! I should have sold my car and NOT gone to college! What a FUCKING investment!
No shit, now those Frehley things are like 5 grand.
Didn't Page blame that '59 for fucking up his back?

I just write what appeals to me at any given time. I try to use songs as a vehicle to use new musical ideas.Originally posted by Rikk

I've done funk. I've done metal. I've done funk-metal.
I have alot of music and I found that the riffs were..........carrying the songs.
So latelty I've been writing tunes with just a guitar or piano and voice.
The idea was that if they stood good minus production that the songs would be good.
Anyway, if the songs were good minus prodiction, we'd build them at that point,
doesn't make for exciting music. But it's compelling.
Made me have to think about the lyrics alot more.
You would probably not like it.
Chicks seems to dig it.
Uh, no bitch. We're talking music. It's called having a normal conversation for the sake of having a normal conversation. I'm actually interested in what kind of material he does because MAX says he's good and I also write a ton of songs and sing and it's good to talk craft.Originally posted by Fabulous Shadow

What's the matter? Does it piss you off that I'm actually willing to talk music with Pete for a sec instead of fight constantly?
Hey Matt, I could give a Rats ass if you like me or not, but I'm not fat at all... In fact the 15/20 lbs that I was over weight I lost this summer, so hate me all you want, just don't call me FAT...Originally posted by Matt White

My father retired when he was 42.
Quite an expectation to live up to.
And I never will.
Well shit, if we're talkin' about gear then here's my 2cents:
Guitars: Pensa Custom 7-string(oh yeah), Custom Made Frankenstein (made to be an exact replica of Ed's Original Red-White-Black Frankenstein), Cow-Fur Frankenstein(made with Wayne Charvel parts), Pink-Explosion Frankenstein(made with Wayne Charvel parts-complete with San Dimas Logo-awesome), Fender "Yngwie Malmsteen" Strat(Oct.1988-all original, 9+cond.), and one ESP Killer Akira Takasaki.
Amps: Rivera Knucklehead Reverb, ADA MP-1(classic shred gear), Mesa/Boogie 50/50(1988), Boogie Rectifier Series4x12, Bergantino 308 Speaker Enclosure, an assortment of Line 6 POD's-new and old-for recording mostly, and a DISGUSTING amount of Monster cable(cuz they like me).
Effects: '78MXR Phase 90... that's it... maybe some reverb, or some delay from the Line 6 stuff, but that's it...

It feels awesome to write something and demo it and play it for a chick and have her see you...er...warm side. Happens to me a lot.
I agree also that if you can strip the production away and just have a standard electric guitar with echo and vocal performance that makes the song still compelling, you have a good song.
I love the funk. But I also write all sorts of stuff. I love using piano and hammond organ sounds on my stuff. I have my band record the stuff on our 8-track, with lots of overdubs and I use a LOT of harmony stuff (all on my own).
Love music. Been into it forever.
Maybe if our war ever ends, we can play each other some songs.
Ummmm, it's just that today you said that MAX told you he had a HIGH voice... He was talking music with Matt, not you... Pete is a gifted musician, great guitar player, great songwriter, great singer! He has put his music out there,posted his picture... YOU are just a yaker... YAK YAK YAKOriginally posted by Rikk

I used to do the old Link Ray riffs in the garage......
My mom would holler out, "open the door while your working on that car....you'll get carbon mondobonoxide"!

Almost anyone else can get a clean slate with me. I mean that. Almost anyone. But you? Fuck that. You are a cancer.
