    • Thanks guys for your answers. I heard it s a easy bass to play (it's shortscale) and it s one of the reasons of my interest. The Casady looks great but I'm really a shortscale guy (when speaking about bass :-) )...

    • In the end I grabbed a hollow epiphone jack Cassidy - now that's a bass

    • Forget it they're a real pile of crap. There was one kicking around in our practice studio - supposedly really nice as it was from the seventies. Pile of shit. Can't hear it- it's got no balls. Waste of time and money. Great guitars I agree but forget the bass.

    • get a real bass and don't buy a guitar that has burst 2 strings... SG's are classic but they look and play durt as a bass. likewise don't buy a flying V bass. they looked cooler with 6 strings. what you want is a Gibson EB2 bass.

      EDIT: or a rickenbacker...

    • In a near future I will maybe buy this nice Gibson sg faded bass and I would like to know if some bass players around here use it for garage rock and how they like it.
      He's the sound great for our kind of music?

    •  Seriously , when I was about 5 , and "Abbey Road" came out , I thought the first word to "Come Together" was "SHIT".

    • I developed a more forgiving attitude toward The Stones in 2001 , when I saw Chuck Berry for the first time , in St. Louis , at The Pageant. Kopper was probably there. Chuck KILLED . I figured , well , maybe I should give The Stones another go. I had'nt seen them since 1981 , but I'd tried to get into one of their smaller shows in the 90's. TheIR LAST ALBUM "a Bigger Bang" was their best LP/CD since "Some Girls" , if you ask me. MANY people would agree. But , I have'nt had time to listen to this song.  I WILL. i HAVE NO BEEF WITH tHE sTONES STAYING TOGETHER. What else would they do? It's a business , yeah , but the music has improved a great deal in the last 10 , 20 years.

    • Deja Voodoo is great, it got to listen to a few tracks from House Of Knives in a Myspace page,  sounds very good! I like the Gun Club too and I listened to Blowstops and sounds good too. Thank you both. I found this other band that sounds similar to the bands mentiones before, 'The Purple Things' you guys should check them out in youtube.

    • I'm considering pulling out those stock EW humbuckers and throwing in some TVjones filtertrons.

    • Well, the Hagstrom Viking isn't in the same price range. The lower end model is still a couple hundred dollars more.

    • This sucks. I was so excited a few years back when I discovered Nick Curran's music. It was EXACTLY what I was searching for. I pretty much live under a rock and did not know that he had passed.

    • A couple of years ago, Russ Gordon, who produces lots of free summer shows in Los Alamos, N.M. told me that he was bringing in a performer to Los Alamos he knew I'd love  -- Nick Curran.

      As frequently is the case, Russ was right. I listened to a couple of sound clips from Curran's then-current album Reform School Girl. It became my favorite album of the year.

      But I missed the Los Alamos show -- which I regret even more now.

      When I first hear Curran, I assumed he was older. His raw voice sounded like he had decades of hard living. But indeed, he packed a lot of life into his short time here. I mean, hell, he started out as a teenager playing in Ronnie Dawson's road band.

      Here's my review of Reform School Girl

      Here's some more videos:

    • Hey man, digging the latest show right now, thanks for that, lots of top quality rockin' sounds.

      Not entirely sure CHRW have got things entirely right yet though, when I went on their site the downloadable 30 mins listed under The Freakout for Oct 11th seemed to be full of Calypso music!

    • Only joking!

      I liked the ones I heard from Weed Siezure better than Cement Tomb Mind Control.  The studio songs are presented very differently than what I took away from the live set where I was much more impressed by the performance than the songs.  It's almost like two different bands.  There are different ways to look at studio vs. live presentation; 1 you can stive to reproduce the live sound in the studio (or vice versa) or 2 just go with the fact that you're going to sound very different in the two settings and just roll with it (unless you can cart around an entire orchestra).  I can understand either viewpoint and The Hussy seems to prescribe to the latter and that's fine.

    • Nope, I was right.  They all suck, all 39 of them.

    • October 12, 2012 9:35 PM CDT
    • It’s been pointed out in other messages that I am ignorant, insulting, and an opinionated ass.
      I was wrong about The Hussy being on In The Red.  I’m not sure where I got that idea.  Maybe the Hussy guys ITR shirt or maybe a misunderstood conversation, etc I don’t know.  I did not set out to insult Larry/In The Red.  I don’t know the guy personally and I understand that many people worship him as a god.  While I have no problems in pointing out the emperor’s new clothes, in this case I was wrong.
      I was also wrong about the drummer in White Mystery being in The Ponys.  I misread and / or misremembered the Program Guide “Brother / sister maelstrom …  Alex White’s a veteran of Miss Alex White & the Red Orchestra … and Hot Machines with Jared from the Ponys.”  It goes on to say “Together with her brother Francis, White Mystery…”  Again, I had my facts screwed up and was wrong.
      If I were submitting this post as part of a professional publication or serious amateur blog, I would have done some in depth research and really done it up right.
      I don’t have time for that shit and just wanted to hep some folks to Gonerfest and a bunch of cool music that they might be interested in especially since no one else on this social network had even mentioned it, that I am aware of, except Anna Lee Cleveland.

      It's been suggested that I check out some of The Hussy's studio recordings so I will.

    • I can't figure the site out.. for each letter I can only seem to see the first shelf of records per letter.. A section for example only goes from The A's to Adam and the Ants.. is there a way to see more or have they only archived one section per letteR?
