The jack on my Tele always gets loose and has to retightened. It's a minor annoyance because due to the recession I can't just finger tighten so it requires a tool every time. Any known easy solutions to this?
Working from home today and feel like she's been staring at me from across the room all afternoon...
Just noticed this recently. I haven’t any volume or tone issues but it seems odd. Tele has a Bigsby.
Which of these pedals would you choose? I want thick, chewy, trippy vibes that sound cool and will work to add some psychedelic texture in my band.
The MXR is smaller and lighter and has lower current draw, which are nice quality of life bonuses. The Behringer seems cool too and I like the footswitchable effect. The EHX Good Vibes was also an option but I've read it doesn't work well with standard 9v power supplies.
I'm looking at these because they're under $100 new or used. Not interested in spending more. Also not looking for something digital due to power supply complications. I'm not concerned about the perfect vintage recreation of Hendrix or Trower tones.
Basically, looking something that can dial in that richness and low level harmonics / distortion saturation but with separate volume and saturation / gain controls (like the left side of a Deco).
I sometimes end playing on backline amps that can be stiff or really high headroom and need more flexibility to sweeten them up. I love my EP Booster but wish I had more control to dial more of that richness without just slamming more volume.
I'm looking for something on the smaller side and not in the premium $200+ price range but I'm not finding much out there.
Can you eat raw greens and vegetables here while pregnant?
Normally this wouldn’t be a concern but a lovely Italian mom on the plane told us not to eat fresh vegetables and greens in restaurants while pregnant due to concerns about washing.
Since then, it’s been echoed by waiters when we mention the pregnancy.
Generally we do as locals do but would love to hear from anyone with insight here?
I want to experiment with upgrading the speaker in my Fender '68 Custom Princeton Reverb. I love the amp already but I'm curious to lean more into that tweedy / Bassman tonestack mod character of the amp.
The Eminence GA10-SC64 seems universally loved but I haven't found much info online about the SC59. There's one available used at a solid price so my interested has been piqued.
Any experience here? What do you think of it?
I’m in a 4 piece surf rock band with a heavy psychedelic bent and we’re looking to add a keyboard player to thicken up the sound. We’re all instrumental and pretty uptempo, with inspiration from stuff like La Luz, The Mermen, Kikagaku Moyo, Arc De Soleil.
We’d love to jam with someone who can add psychedelic synth / Farfisa / organ textures, plus leads and solos. Keytar would be super dope too.
Some keyboard players I love are Chick Corea, Charlie Stacey and Gregg Rolie (Santana era).
We’re two guitars, bass, and drums. All dudes in our 30s playing after work, usually rehearsing at Rivington, mostly based in Brooklyn.
We’ve just gotten this project together and are writing originals for a set list. We’ve got goals to play out and record, but we’re currently focused on writing, getting a solid set together, and enjoying the process.
Hit me up if you’re interested!
How is travel by train in Puglia?
The region seems well connected and I'd prefer not to drive in these little small towns and winding cities. Ideally we'd mainly travel by train and rent scooters or take taxis for beaches or little excursions.
We are flying and out of Bari in July and looking at staying in Otranto, Monopoli, and maybe Lecce or Locorotondo or Ostuni.
Can you recommend a local place for casual alterations on men's jeans, pants, etc?
A dream realized. It's heavy on my back but it's a major quality of life upgrade for the schlep around the city.
