I get great dirty chime out of my JTM45. All I have to do is crank the master volume and I get into Dave Davies circa 'I Need You'. If that isn't great garage tone, I don't know what is.

I think more than the amp, it's important how to eq. Lots of treble w/ mild overdrive and fuzz to kick you for leads.

People also say don't use Gibsons for garage rock and again I'd say with the proper eq and playing technique you can get a great garagey tone. YMMV but I have to stand up for my own gear. :D

I'm in the process of trying to find band members in the Bournemouth/Dorset area (UK). I play an original 1967 Supro through a Fender Champ from around 1972. I can get a good sound from it but feel very limited at the moment - I think i'm gonna need a bigger amp and maybe a couple of pedals (analogue of course). I was thinking of playing through a decent old Fender bass amp as I have been advised that this often produces good results. Any suggestions?

Fast song,with muddy energetic guitars and psychotic wails disguised as singing!
Along with lots of tongue-in-cheek self-rony!
Who else than Hell Crab City could
put the Knack's My Sharona bass lines into one bed with Queens of the Stone Age space overdrive, Laika and the Cosmonauts
surf guitars and Nirvana's Negative Crip hysterics !

Aussie punk rock'n'rollers Hell Crab City chucked the track "Dirty Kid" up on Music Alley, would love any podcasters here to give it a run ...hope ya enjoy, cheers!

Some great bands on the bill. Since when did the Dragons reform?

Anyone going to the Shakedown this weekend? Tonight's bill at the Brass Lounge looks pretty incredible...

Are you plugging directly into the recorder or are you placing a microphone to the cab? If the latter, try turning down the gain to avoid clipping. If DI check your levels as well.

If by double track you mean overdub, you must first be using a multitrack recorder. If you are, record the first segment on a track, then set that track to "monitor." Then input your signal while the first track is playing back.

Watch out for the Jayhawk. It's a residence motel populated by meth cookers. Cops are there almost every night, and folks get stabbed there alot. kopper said:

The Jayhawk Motel doesn't take reservations (it's first come, first served), and only allow two people per room. Just an FYI.

CD-Rs replaced tapes for me ages ago. It's quicker to burn a CD then copy it to tape than mix the tape yourself if you have a car with only a cassett deck. I don't have a car any more so find that putting everything I have onto Media Player gives me one giant jukebox for when I'm at home and not listening to podcasts.

tapes are cheap and easy..mp3s and pod casts are great when your online. its the transfer from there that you need to buy stuff for that makes me resist!!... tom mcneill said:

dude casset traders keep the music industry from turning into just downloads

You casette traders are killing the music industry!

That's quite possible. Rockin Rod Strychnine said:

I saw the Dolls during that tour as well, and I still liked them. However, I saw them again a couple of months ago, and they disappointed me. They seem to have lost their fire.



Milton Tucker said:

Saw them in Portland with the SuperSuckers opening for what's left of the New York Dolls that to was a Little Steven Production. Solid live act the Chesterfield kings that is not the New York Dolls

Gunk is a good term. It's slimy, grimy and dirty just like it sounds.

Surprised no one else is in on this Aussie conversation. Dirty Greg said:

I have both of those murder punk comps, the second disc being the better one (in my opinion). They re-released a two disc set of the Scientist stuff which is really really good. I got into a lot of these '77' Australian bands and found this comp 'Inner City Sound' which also has a book that you can get also (I don't remember if they came together) but it covers the late seventies and early eighties 'post punk' Australian bands. A pretty good read and the cd has a really cool fold out insert with a 'family tree' of all these bands as a lot of the guys went from one band to another.

Kopper!Man!You are the boss for the right reason!Your megaphone djing style,out-of-space-mix of names,demented vocals,chainsaw gutars,what else is needed in good podcast?Some medicine?

Well, a belated response to a belated list. It's all good. Rockin Rod Strychnine said:

It was kind of belated. I didn't look at new posts at all last week.
