I retubed my > Carvin one time, neglected to have the bias checked and it died also biasing is only necessary if you're putting in power tubes that are different than the ones you had before! or if it's been quite a few years since the last time you changed them. if you're only changing the preamp tubes don't worry about that either. i just had the thought that maybe some really clean preamp tubes could help get some lo-fi breakup out of a Marshall. if your buddies amp uses 12ax7s in the preamp section (most likely) try using 5751s instead. they are perfectly compatible and get about 30% less gain. i know this sounds like i'm telling you how to clean up the tone, but what actually happens is that you have to drive the tubes a little harder to get distortion out of them. this way the gain is more natural and not totally overdriven and metally. so it sounds more like turning a clean amp all the way up. the overall volume will be a little less too so you might be able to get a little power tube clipping as well (which is where the real vintage overdrive tone lies). another thing worth adressing is the cab. a closed back 4x12 is too much (don't know if that's what you're using). if you're going for a more lo-fi sound try a 2x12,4x10, or even an old fender 1x15. the trouble you might run into there is finding one that can handle that big Marshall head. hmmm...maybe taking the back off would work?

I happen to listen to their earlier work. Yes, I like "The Piper at the Gates of Dawn" from 1967 and "Saucer Full of Secrets" from 1968. Some of their really early singles like "Arnold Layne" and "See Emily Play" are adequate cool enough for just about any fan of psychedelic garage rock. Anyway, I heard some MP3s of really early Pink Floyd songs never released from 1965 or 1966. It's more raw for them than they did when they started putting records out from 1967 on to now. I was wondering if there's a compilation CD out there that just focus on the Syd Barrett era Pink Floyd (1965-1968)? If you listen to "The Piper at the Gates of Dawn", you might be surprised with songs like "Lucifer Sam." Then again, I like the early Traffic, the Move, and some of the other psychedelic monstrosity that sucked as theatrical 70s progressive and dinosaur rock.

So if any of you know or hear anything, by all means let me know. I imagine Lucia's pretty old by now. I mean, Georgia looks like she's at least 50 (maybe 60?) years old, which would put Lucia in the 70-80 range (if not older). And as long as the Rams have been in St. Louis, I have never read or heard anything in the local media tying Georgia to her mother. Seems like that would be a fairly interesting special/human interest news story, but maybe her mother's "art" was so obscure that the local media hasn't even caught on. Not really even sure how popular her mother was back in the '60s or early '70s, for that matter... I might try to do a little legwork on this and see if there's a way I can send a letter to Georgia Frontiere, inquiring about her mother. Would be kinda cool to include a small story like that in an upcoming issue of Head in a Milk Bottle, at least. kopper The Wayback Machine/HIAMB http://www.garagepunk.com ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 08 Feb 2002 09:43:17 -0800 From: Nekron99 Subject: Eric Bradner, Flipper and the Mabuhay Hey, I was told there was someone posting here a month or so ago under the name of Eric Bradner. He was talking about the Mabuhay club in S.F., among other things.

It would mean a lot to find him. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 08 Feb 2002 12:50:28 -0500 From: Jahna Demand Subject: Twin reverb/Marshall/Ampeg noise I've always been able to get a REALLY dirty sound out of twin reverbs (and other tube amps that have both a channel volume AND a master volume) without getting too loud by turning the master volume down low and the channel volume wayyyy up. Also - to get a good garagey sound, I also make sure I'm using PLENTY of reverb. If they weren't so darn HEAVY, I'd always play through a SUPER REVERB!! I LOVE those amps. However, you have to be a weight liftin'- truck drivin' kinda guy to be able to cart one of those around, and - even though I'm not exactly a wilting flower of a gal, I can't lift one of those suckers easily - - AND I prefer to heft my own equipment so as to not piss the guys in my band(s) off. I've had some really good use out of Ampeg Gemini and G-12's over the years. They tend to be less expensive (I've purchased both that I've owned for under $300 each when comparable fenders were going for twice as much) However, my current one died on the last song I played up at the Abbey a couple weeks back and I am afraid it might not be worth the $$ to fix it. (If I weren't broke, I'd go buy a new fender right NOW!!) Anyway, although I *prefer* the sound I get out of a Fender I also have used Marshall amps in various rehearsal studios around the city and have gotten decent sounds out of them. To do that, I lowered the master volume, increased the channel volume, increased the mid-range and bass, turned the reverb all the way up and made sure that the volume on my guitar was pegged. As well, at the studio where we're recording, they have either a really clean vintage marshall or a reissue marshall (I can't tell - it's SOOOO cool) that is the roughly same size as Vox. It has a black grill and cream tweed case and sounds better than any amp I've played through yet. Very versatile! You canmake it sound REALLY dirty or crisp or bell like depending on how you play with it. Drool. As for guitars - I prefer to play gretch or gibson - not fender. Fender pickups tend to sound too clean or whiny for my taste. And if you play them through a marshall, I imagine you will need to crank your mid-range to get any decent kind of tone. I like the fat sound of a double humbucker pickup. IMHO - A SG is ideal to get that dirty garagey sound. OK - back to work for me...

Marshalls have the sounds that Hendrix, Black Sabbath, and B.O.C. made famous and they seem to only sound good with the volume on 11 and the sound is somewhat limited. Many amp shops can modify the Marshall circuitry by adding an additional preamp stage and/or an additional master volume. These mods are somewhat expensive and of course would void the warranty and probably not give the sound you are looking for anyway. The Vox AC30's sound great, but are overpriced, and in my opinion are a bit over-hyped. A Fender Super Reverb is my amp of choice and there was one on stage at the Las Vegas Grind 2000 that most the guitarists used during their sets. Super Reverbs are loud, a bit on the clean side, but it seems to distort more when I play harder, and I like that control without punching a button. I do use a Pro Co "RAT" pedal (as does Tim S. of the Cripplers) to add some additional dirt, feedback and distortion when needed. I would suggest your guitarist get a "RAT" to begin with and see if it can help the sound his Marshall. You can actually "thin" the beefy sound out a bit with the RAT or go crazy with an over-fuzzed type distortion. Older Fender tube amps(like the Super Reverb) are in high demand and may be tuff to find or pay the asking price. I got mine for only $550 (with four new speakers) from Scotty's Music here in St Louis (314)427-7794. Scotty's is the steel guitar world headquarters, and they come across a lot of vintage equipment at a reasonable price, but you have to keep checking with them as what they have. By the way, Scotty single handedly introduced steel guitar to country music and toured with Ernest Tubb for 40 plus years. There are also amps and effects pedals that can simulate(called amp modeling) any type of amp with varying levels of authenticity. Some are remarkable, and are actually scary in the sounds they can get. But for me, it will always be Gibson(or Epiphone or Silvertone) semi hollow guitar(no "F' holes + a simple fuzz pedal + an old (pre 80's)Fender tube amp for live action. The digital stuff needs to stay in the studio. Don't get me started on vintage tech concerning music stuff or muscle cars.
