It gives amazing fuzz. I got my husband John one for Christmas and he can't keep me away from it. Not so great for bass ( John loves the Big Muff for that), but quite an amazing and powerful sound for my geetar. (I do like buying presents for myself...) The "deluxe model" has input and output so you could use it with a big amp. And it costs all of $28 (including shipping). Check out www.smokeyamps.com and get yourself one.

I've been messing on bass for awhile, but a very good friend who's a genuine rock star (pop-folk-style) gave me a Reverend guitar. This is a new brand that's build kinda like Danelectros: semi-hollowbody with a masonite kinda top, back and sides over a wooden center piece. Very nice surfy sounding guitar. Mine has two humbucker pickups with coil taps for single coil sound, too. That said, I ain't never played an electric guitar myself, although I'm a middlin' bassist. So, what kinda amp can I get for cheap (several hundred at most) that would do me well playing the likes of "Gloria" and such in basements and garages? I'm past 40 so I'm not looking for a step to stardom, but I 'spect I might have a blast with pals. I'd like to get something that I could use to play a gig at a local bar or outdoors in a park if that ever happens. Suggestions for that bomping garage sound? Thanks.

Make sure to look over the bulletin boards in those stores, and read the classifieds, too. It doesn't sound like you need a loud amp like a VOX AC/30 (or Super Beatle, Vicount, etc), Fender Super, etc. So, take a look at a Fender Princeton, or a VOX Churchill or Pacemaker. They sound great, and come without cinderblocks. I think even the VOX's have been reished of late. For fuzz, I would recommend spending the bread for an original Tonebender, but you can try to find a no-name, but even those are getting to be sought after. My fave is a black round one that has no markings on it whatsoever, except for the "Fuzz" and "Volume" labels by the knobs. It looks like it might be a prototype, or cheap-o copy of a FuzzFace. It is the NASTIEST, GNARLIEST, screwdriver-to-the-brain fuzz I have ever heard - especially when teamed with a VOX guitar and a solid state VOX amp (trebel boost ON and trebel on 10 of course!). I also have a matching tremelo box, but it's green! I also dig the Fuzzrite. I think that's what the Music Machine used. Regardless, a Fuzzrite really helps you play "Trouble." But, viva la NoName!

Both sounded pretty cool. As for the DOD fuzz, I have one of those pedals, it's ok by itself, but coupled with a Vox Valve Tone pedal is awesome, or if you just crank your amp up along with it. I have a '59 bassman reissue, but I have 2 of the vintage speakers in it, so when you turn that baby up, it sounds great. I've heard that the new Danelectro Fab Tone is actually a pretty good little pedal, but I haven't had the chance to try one out yet.

The other day I picked up an old copy of the Young Rascals "Collections" LP, and I noticed that the last track of side 1 is a medley of "Mickey's Monkey" and "Love Lights." The latter song is essentially a variation on Bobby Bland's (and the Human Beinz, and the High Spirits, et al) "Turn On Your Love Light," but it is credited to "Gerald Roslie." Gerry Roslie, of course, is the lead singer of the Sonics, and I'm aware that the Sonics did a song called "Love Lights" on their first Jerden album. Same song? And is the Rascals version directly based on the Sonics version? Would that be why it's entitled "Love Lights (Gerald Roslie)" instead of, say, "Turn On Your Lovelight (Malone-Scott)"? I just found it interesting to see the name Gerry Roslie connected with the Young Rascals. It's a good album, but it has as many slow poppy songs as it has rockin' Atlantic-style R&B.

Maybe a Fender Princeton / Champ / or Pro Jr. The Pro Jr is the cheapest tube amp you can buy new / it's small but it kicks out a great warm bluesey tone -- no reverb or tremelo though. The Fender Princeton is a great garage amp and you can pick up a used one pretty cheap. The Champ can be anything (depending on the era its from) -- but I'd say its best to go for the cheapest tube amp you can find --and these Fenders are usually the cheapest tube amps you can find--except for some possible crazy pawn shop amp which you would just have to play for yourself and if you dig it go for it. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 26 Feb 1999 14:31:35 -0500 From: Brian Phillips Subject: Re: Let's Work Out -- The Final Episode! >>You Had Better Change Your Evil Ways (Mariane+i Pipistrelli) >>Is this "Evil Ways"?

Ray Davies describes in his recent story-tour (now on CD), how brother Dave took a hat pin and poked several holes in their little green amp to create a sound that renamed the amp "the Fart Box". It's been confirmed that this amp was used on the "You Really Got Me" session, I don't know when they stopped using it. Better to practice this technique on your practice amp than on your Fender Twin.

The Gold Coast hotel has rooms for $65 a night. So for a couple, when you consider tickets plus hotel, it's $315, and that's not including the airfare, food, and other expenses, so unless we come across a huge windfall in money (maybe we'll win the lottery) between now and then, I don't think we'll be able to afford it, especially since we're also saving up for a trip to the Seattle/Vancouver area sometime this year. Ouch. kopper (see attached message for more info and link to the Las Vegas Grind site) - ---------- From: Amos Clarke To: "'news@lasvegasgrind.net'" Subject: LAS VEGAS GRIND Halloween 1999 Date: Fri, Feb 26, 1999, 6:00 PM The Las Vegas Grind website is now open. http://www.lasvegasgrind.net/ On the site you can see the line up and provisional time-table and securely book online for the entertainment and hotel. If you intend to come to the Grind then I would advise you to book the Gold Coast hotel as soon as possible because these rooms will go very quickly. The Gold Coast will not charge your card until the week of the event. The response to this show has been quite staggering so far, especially as we haven't undertaken any promotion yet. If it's sister event 'Viva Las Vegas' is anything to go by then this festival will be a great success for all. BANNERS There are several banners on the website that you can use for your own page and I would be very gateful if you would link to the site to get the word out about the festival which will be the talk of the scene for a long time. If you let me know that you have linked then I will be happy to link back. FLYERS If you are a promoter, DJ or Radio station or just have lots of friends and would like flyers about LVG then please reply with your mail address. I would also be grateful for any suggestions about the structure and content of the site, so please email me with your comments. Hope to see yout there, Amos http://www.lasvegasgrind.net http://www.vivalasvegas.net http://www.flipsville.com This is a mailing about the Las Vegas Grind Weekender at Halloween. Further messages will be very occasional.

I kid you not! My old bass teacher, Tom Barth of Dover has had since he was a teen in the sixies. It's called an EB-4f (f for fuzz). It looks like the regular SG body style except that it's got a little slide switch like a Jaguar for fuzz. The effect is powered by an on board 9 volt battery and it's a real wild sound! Anyone know of any other guitars with built in fuzz? fuzz in my ears and navel.... Moparlary - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Howdi: Moparlary and Bompers: Electra had a guitar in the mid 70s with built in effects. I did not own one of these, but I recall it being a LesPaul copy with plug in units in the back (under a hatch). Knobs on front gave you contol. I don't recall any of the effects in detail, but one was called "Tank Tone". I remeber thinking, do they mean a steal tank or an army tank? I still wounder how that sounds.
