Thanx Branded and EEGAH fer the advice...

Never used a Fuzz Face on a bass...intriguin', may try

Never gotta a chance to drive a Maestro FuzzTone (an original would be my cherry creme, baby)...

Both would lose the direct bass signal I need to maintain I imagine ...so keep 'em suggestions comin', kids

I use a Maestro FuzzTone for bass. The only negative is that you may need to compensate and add some additional bass tone.

bass sounds good with a fuzz face

Hey hey hey GP gang!

I'm gearin' up (literally) fer the start of my new band which will entail sax, bass and drums only...

As the bass player, I really wanna killer fuzz sound ...something gnarly yet not makin' my bass sound too treble-ly...ya dig?

Also, if I go the pedal route, I needs something that will allow direct (aka un-effected) signal through in addition to the fuzzed out signal to my amp...gots to maintain a true-blue bass thump!

Any and all help/talk appreciated, 'natch

Thanks definately a great song, I'll try to get a feeling for that riff on the organ. Are there any organ players here in the group who started without any teacher/mentor?

start with your basic three finger C chord and move it up and down the keyboard for different notes as your starting note and that should suffice for most of the classic garage rock organ songs you'll want to play. learn classic riffs like 96 Tears and you'll definitely be set.

Hey Ho,

I am listening to Psychedelic Rock and Garage Punk since the beginning of my conscious life (at least it seems like it) but sadly never learnt to play an instrument properly. But that should change now. I am able to play basic chords on the guitar and on the keys and got my hands on a nice combo organ and want to start playing all my fav. Nuggets/Pebbles out there, but how to start??? I'm really bad in hearing notes/chords from records and I haven't found anything on the net yet. Are there any Organ players out here who can give some helpful tips about how to get going? Especially playing technique explanations typical for garage rock would be great.

Aloha

how one wouldn't be blown away by these comps is beynd me. what???

I think I have all 6 or 7. I picked them up during various visits to Crypt. Wreck-o-mended for sure!

I've just got Volume 5 of TR and just 'bout worn the grooves out on that platter! Wish I could snag the entire series (though I already have a bunch o' the tunes off other sources/comps...so can't justify 'em right now)

i've got one comp, played it once but wasn't impressed, maybe give it another try?

I recently picked up two Twistin Rumble comps from Record Exchange, mint condition...Ive been after some of these comps for a while and finally got two at once...

Theyre brilliant!! Does anyone else have any??

I agree this place isn't a patch on the old forums for info. In fact, there's absolutely no debate about it. That's the one thing I really miss. I mean, I like being able to come here and add songs to my jukebox and look around a bit but the amount of discourse, sharing of info and music was far greater on the old board.

This site has been around for what, about two years now? I just don't think the amount of participation here is gonna get much greater than it is right now. Sad but true.

does anyone have the correct track listing for this LP? as far as i can tell it's printed wrong on the jacket... too many tracks on one side etc. there are a couple songs I want to put on the show and I needs the info yo!

thanks,
i really think sandinista ¡ is one of the most interesting records of the time it had been made¡
joe was really talented
i always was a huge fan
but right Now is coming to argentina the documentary
so im gonna watch it ¡
kisses.

Duck.

Well, what do you guys think? A certain eighties version is at the top of my list, though a sixties instrumental by a great band is not far off!

Gonna be in Memphis fer the June 19th show (wish I could do the next nite in Memphis as well as the 2 in Detroit)

The best way is to get other similar blogs to add yours to their blogrolls (or links sections).www.feedburner.com

If all of this other stuff fails, I use divshare which is easy and free up to a certain numbers of gigabytes. You can upload songs and make playlists.
