ive been crushed since i found out. rip to a true giant

just got my tickets and stuff. will definitely be seeing you there! lets have some beers haha

if you still need help, lemme know. i teach protools classes/am fluent in logic ableton fruity loops ect

dont waste money on expensive RCA's either. all the hype around around expensive cables is just that. just make sure it has good shielding and decent connectors

i will be there by virtue of me living in vancouver/liking fun. say hi!

just looked at the starmaker and it IS an actual guitar amp so disregard most of what i said(except for the chord/cap thing, that still stands as a really good thing to do)

its pretty good stock! you are right, swapping out the old cord is really important, as is removing the death capacitor(DONT DO THIS IF YOU DONT KNOW HOW TO DISCHARGE CAPS!!) the other thing you should do is change the input impedence to something a bit more suited to a guitar. messing around with the tone stack is also probably a pretty good idea, too

i recorded/mixed and mastered this bands ep, and i think it could probably fall under the melodic punk umbrella. give it a go, if you like https://stresseating.bandcamp.com/album/nothing-ep

ALSO; just scooped up a vintage heathkit mono hifi amp with original phillips 6L6's in it for $100. thinking of tinkering around and turning it into a a jcm800 kinda deal. pretty stoked

in regards to the MIM question(wont let me quote it for some reason?) ive palyed a ton of different jazzmasters from the squire/made in vietnam kinda stuff, all the way up to AVRI/an actual 67' jazzmaster. the only problem i find with the mim stuff is A. the electronics(their tolerences are way too forgiving, resulting in values that are way way way off usually) and the bridge+tail piece are REALLLLLLLY poorly manufactured) also from stock, the neck needs to be shimmed/thicker strings need to be put on to make the bridge design work properly(basically no strings lighter than 0.11) or the bridge design wont work properly and your tuning stability will be wanting. other than that though, MIM stuff plays really really nicely

fuck. i really wish i could fly out for this

violent femmes-s/t any converge album earlier russian circles stuff cursed i&ii

also, my band put out a single from our upcoming album, that i tracked live off the floor/ also mixed/hastily mastered. would LOVE to hear what y'all have to say abt the mix https://teethdreams420.bandcamp.com/album/never-gonna-die-b-w-ca-h-in

i feel really lucky to live in the same city as him. great dude, great-er drummer

the great river stuff is well, ...great(from my limited experience.) let me know how it goes!!
