  1. I think you found a live one to be honest. She probably didn't have an idea of how much she wanted for it and somebody else gave her a price to start with. Go take a look, play it and make a deal. Yes, you will need a crew to move it. Pay her when you have decided and have a crew to move it then.
  2. There are some chords in there, it sounds like 2 different tracks of guitar to me. A difficult mix to parse, I wouldn't spend too much time on it at this point.
  3. Lots of variations and possibilities, I've managed to beat depression back with simple exercise. A part of me still objects to taking long, vigorous walks 4 (or usually, more) times a week. I am getting more used to it and it definitely improves my disposition so I intend to keep at it as long as possible.
  4. I've had my bouts of depression, it's not fun. A few years ago I decided to start taking a brisk 50 minute walk, half of it is up a slope and I do not walk slowly. That has made a HUGE difference in my emotional state, getting the endorphins to flow. Emotions are chemical reactions, keeping the chemicals moving changes my attitude in a positive direction. I understand that not all of us are blessed with the same levels of mobility. For me, I see it as "use it or lose it."
  5. Long ago I saw Jeff Beck in concert. By far my favorite electric guitarist, hands down.
  6. I record bass and add distortion. It would not be difficult to do what I like to do with a live bass. You'll want a splitter box so you have 2 identical signals. EQ one signal for your favorite bass sound. Roll off the low end on the other signal and add your favored distortion (octaver?) pedals to get that sound the way you want. Blend the two sounds, the huge clean tone and the higher frequency shred tone. When I record that way I can get a full, clear bass sound with as much snarl and snap as I want. My experience has been that adding distortion to the low end creates a muddy mess of a tone, that's why I tried this way of doing it. Maybe not what you are asking but a fun thing to try anyway. And currently I like the Tech 21 Double Drive 3x for getting distortion tones on bass or guitar. Very versatile pedal.
  7. I agree that the process is fascinating. I don't have much to say about the music, it isn't my thing but that's irrelevant if others like it. He managed to fool another producer, I'll give him that.
  8. Have you ever used one? I have a good friend who has one. If you want small, light and loud and cheap, it has potential. I don't know if they still make it. I've used 2 different ones owned by friends. It's 100 watts, uses a 12" speaker and weighs 22 pounds. It's not tiny but not huge either. More bass is not a bad thing at all, especially if there isn't a bassist. The EQ is Bass, Lo-Mid, Hi-Mid and Treble, you can boost or cut all of those. You can get a lot of different tones if you tweak it. https://www.fender.com/en-US/play-home/rumble-100/2370400000.html I remember many times jamming with keyboard players who used guitar or bass amps and they can sound fine.
  9. If you can find one to try out, a Fender Rumble 100 might be a good choice.
  10. I was unaware of Keith's passing by suicide, that is tragic. I saw ELP in concert on the Brain Salad Surgery tour and they were fantastic.
  11. Woof is why I use the low mid knobs to turn down 200hz, that's what I call "mud-range". On the Tech 21 Q-Strip, I set the high mid frequency at around 1.7khz and give that a bit of a boost. There's your pitch and attack. I turn the highs up a bit as well, there is your chime. My bass records with a full, deep low end and clarity. I'm using D'Addario Brite Flats on both of my basses and EMG P Bass pickups, the strings are smooth to the touch and have a bit more definition that true flat wounds. The pickups are full range and virtually zero hum. They have big bass and strong clear highs. If you are using flat wound strings (and they do have advantages, no finger noise scraping the winds), try the Brite Flats.
  12. I don't use Tik Tok, I don't post on Instagram (I do surf the new stuff quickly once in a while but... meh). I am currently trimming down my Facebook friends, my new rule is that I have to know you in person to add you as a friend and even that might be questionable. I've considered just deleting it entirely. Music Player Network seems to be "safe" for the most part and so does Model Mayhem. I prefer to interact with actual humans in the real world. I am probably missing something, everybody else is too. We cannot be everywhere, we cannot know about everything and we cannot know everyone. I'm doing ok.
  13. I went to a show long ago and they had a wall of Marshall cabinets. I was hanging out with the soundman (a friend) after the show and I saw a roadie hook his hands into the corners of 2 cabinets, pick them up and walk off the stage with them. They were all empty.
