Pete,

AC 30 is fine for a band, b ut remember it will sound only like an AC 30....epi jr is built for recording, and it is going to overdrive, so forget about clean. Not sure what you are trying to accomplish, but short of a Fender Showman head, if you are playing surf, any 100 watt + amp will fool the masses if it has a lot of clean headroom. Solid state bass amps are the way to go. They are cheap and plentiful on the used market, and usually have great eq features, THat and a new fender 63 reverb pedal thru your 412 cab, and you are in business. And remember to have fun when you play.

Remember, put two beers in the audience, and anything sounds good.

Hey,

this is probably a ridiculous question to some of you, but I've been looking at getting a new amp, and i've been wondering...

what sort of volume will I be able to get from an AC30 Head (30 Watt) or an Epiphone Valve Jr (5 Watt) when pushed through a 4x12 cabinet? can it hold its own a live situation with the rest of a band or will it still have to be put through a PA?

cheers

pete

Sweet!!

That's awesome. I think that "Radios Appear" is quite possibly my favorite record of all time.

Yep , cooooooooooooooooool !

Radio Birdman Archives Discovered

Radio Birdman management has located dozens of boxes of 24 track tape
recorded by the band in the mid 70's. These tapes had long been thought
to have been destroyed. The tapes were found at AC/DC's famed Albert's
Studios in North Sydney. They had been kept in a climate controlled
archive, and are in pristine condition.

The band will be sorting through all of the many hours of this material in the next month, to prioritize material for a box set that
will include outtakes, unreleased songs, and alternate versions. In
addition to studio material, there is a complete multitrack recording
of a concert at Paddington Town Hall, from 12/12/77. With a production
session scheduled for April, fans can expect a release by years end.

Speaking of garage guitar, i have a hofner colorama to rebuild, does anyone have some hofner parts to sell/trade ? I need a Colorama scratch plate, one pick up version 1 and a Hofner Diamond Top Six String Pick Up ... I don't really know how to stick the vinyl surface on the guitar body, it seems hard to do right for non-professional. This sites seems to provide hofner parts but i never try to order (the site looks old) : http://www.projectguitarparts.co.uk

Well, I'm sure we'd all love to own copies of all our favorite Garage bands on vinyl, but those orginal pressing can get pretty pricey! I just picked up a reprint of "Black Monk Time" on 180 gram vinyl, and it's amazing(available on Amazon for those interested). Anybody know of any other recent re-issued Garage vinyl?(links please!)

I kinda thought that might be the case, but needed to express it further. Thanks for getting back to me and I do have some messages sent to those pod-casters . Keep up the great Podcast as well this sweet site.

Rock'n roll,

Which Feedburner feeds are you having issues with? Each podcaster maintains their own Feedburner account/feed, so Michael's right in saying if one or two are giving you problems, to contact those individual podcasters directly.

Hey, we do too! http://blip.fm/thenevermores Jimmy Shelter said:

We have a blip.fm acount for our band:

We just start using it, so no idea if it'll take off.

Who ever wrote those notes... I'm guessing it was Greg Shaw who wrote the liner notes in the Pebbles series, wasn't it? Tim Warren's liner notes in the Back From the Grave series are great, too. Joe's Garage said:

One of the old "Pebbles" vinyl LPs had a great set of liner notes that kinda summed up a good reaction to the notion that the "Beatles saved rock and roll". Who ever wrote those notes did a great job to note how before the Beatles, Britain had Lonnie Donegal singing "My Father is a Dustman" type of crap. I watched that show on Feb 9th 1964 and I can remember there was a lot of U.S. rock music back then too. And anyway, Beatles, Stones, Who etc. did not bring us recycled Lonnie Donegan...now did they???

Well, that's good. It's just that it still needs some work. Yes, I know this has been going on forever, and I can't say I blame anyone for losing patience, but I'm sticking with it.
