I've got a Marshall 100 watt combo that's WAY too loud & I want to get that over-driven sound without blasting everyone & everything through a wall. Is it true that removing a couple of the tubes will effectively turn it into a 50 watt amp? I'm an absolute cripple when it comes to the mechanics of these things, & don't want to fuck up the amp (or myself for that matter) playing around with it, so any advice would be helpful.

I just got a tweed reissue bassman. Fab sound. There are loads of great sounding amps. You don't need a huge rig to sound big. I like my Music Man 210. Great sounding amp, with lots of crunch, or clean. I've got the Marshall too, but i don't pull it out too often. You have to play it LOUD. Others that sound great for recording: Ampeg Jet, Danelectro Viscount, or even the Peavey Duce! Super star secret: When Deniz Tek comes over to record he's used either my Music Man or his Fender Deluxe and the Amp Jet. recorded in stereo. Big old sound. He didn't use any distortion pedal to get his sound.

The two original lps, which I think are the BGO set are fantastic. Sort of poor production. I heard a story that Stigwood didn't know what he was doing. Despite being recorded on 4 track, they didn't even us all the tracks. Pretty much done in an afternoon each. There are some good singles from around this time too. You can find them on those 60's Decca comps. There was an double on Warners which is pretty good too. The Bond and Brown lp is ok, but head for the two recent Pete Brown reissues of the Battered Ornaments and Piblokto first. It's all four lps, singles and very good demos and unreleased songs. rock on - -- The Donovan's Brain Web Site http://www.donovans-brain.com ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 7 Feb 2002 16:52:35 -0800 From: "Chris Owen" Subject: bubblegum NUGGETS Rhino released a Nuggets Bubblegum series in the 80's sometime...I'm pretty sure I have a tape at home of Nuggets Vol. 14, Part 10 or something ridiculous like that.

I still think Jason's guitar guy could get a suitably garagey sound out of his Marshall if he twiddles the knobs and experiments with it enough - sure, it'd be much EASIER to get that kind of sound with a Twin Reverb or AC30, but this way he won't have to spend $700-$2000 on another amp. I've got a Carvin X-100B head, which is very Marshall-like, and I have no trouble making it sound just as garagey as I please! Tim P.S. Some guy did a post about a month ago, asking whether a Lowrey-type organ could rock - I didn't answer him then, but I say this to him now: if it's a musical instrument (guitar, organ, saxophone, bagpipes, kazoo, WHATEVER) not only is it CAPABLE of rocking, it's your duty to MAKE that motherfucker rock! If you have the rock'n'roll burning inside of you, you could make a fucking ACCORDION rock! __________________________________________________ ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 7 Feb 2002 20:53:27 -0800 (PST) From: ed flynn eDz SoNiC sPaCe Subject: Re: It CAN be done! - --- Tim Lakritz wrote: > I've got a Carvin X-100B head, which is very Marshall-like, and I > have no trouble making it sound just as garagey as I please! I play thru a 100-watt Carvin combo amp with two 12" Celestion speakers. It is a very versatile amp. I use the distortion channel rather than a pedal and it sounds like a 60's era fuzzbox if I set everything just so. ~ed ===== http://www.wpkn.org __________________________________________________ ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 07 Feb 2002 23:59:28 -0500 From: Rat Pfink Subject: Re: bubblegum NUGGETS At 04:52 PM 2/7/02 -0800, you wrote: > >Rhino released a Nuggets Bubblegum series in the 80's sometime...I'm >pretty sure I have a tape at home of Nuggets Vol. 14, Part 10 or >something ridiculous like that.

There is a track listed by The Amboy Dukes, called "Judy In Disguise." According to the copyright info on the label, this track dates from 1967. Is this a a misprint (on both the front cover and the record label)? It sure doesn't sound like the Amboy Dukes, but they were on Polydor in 1970-71. Anybody know if this could be them? I've never heard the John Fred & the Playboys original, so for all I know that's what's actually on the album. The same trip also coincidentally yielded a sealed copy of Nugent's 'Survival of the Fittest,' as well as a bunch of really old Creems from 69-73, a 1968 issue of Hullabaloo and 2 issues of Bomp! (one from '76, a Gala Girl issue, the other from March 78, a Power Pop issue).
