[Tom Jones is a Lunatic]( Scanloni · Jul 29, 2023 at 2:37 PM · Replies 152 I never really knew much about Tom Jones. Certainly never saw this side of him. This whole clip is great. He kisses a few broads, hits on sisters mid-verse, but the real fun starts at 1:20. The guy’s an F’ing lunatic, I may have to dig deeper into this freak's catalog...

[Improvised solo vs compsed one that sounds improvised?]( amstrtatnut · Aug 4, 2023 at 1:11 PM · Replies 45 I like to improvise but, my improv is nowhere near as good as Id like. I like this idea stated by Jon Herrington where he says he composes something he wishes he could improvise. I think more and more Im leaning that way. My trouble is having the discipline to play something the same way... Forum [Playing and Technique]( [Read more](
[Squier 40th Anniversary P-bass]( marmalade cream · Aug 6, 2023 at 9:02 PM · Replies 7 Anyone have any impressions or experience with these? I checked out one in the store a few months ago and thought the neck felt real nice. Didn't have time to plug in and check out the pickup, though. I've been looking for a P-bass to setup with flats for vintage tones, and the price on these... Forum [Bass Area; The Bottom Line]( [Read more](
[Electronic Audio Experiments - Sending v2]( Cleft_of_venus · Jun 21, 2023 at 2:13 PM · Replies 281 The Moog 104M was on my board for a number of years, but I sold it after the ADG-1 came out and I picked one of those up. The 104M is classic, sexy, and has a gorgeous sound. But it’s also massive, and you’re paying for all those expression jacks and bells and whistles. If you are going to really use all of those things consistently, it’s worth it - nothing else will... Forum [Effects, Pedals, Strings & Things]( [Read more](
[Peter Green/Kirwin Tone on Then Play On (Fleetwood Mac)?]( Blackstone · Dec 11, 2022 at 12:24 PM · Replies 81 What gear was Peter Green using here? amp/pedals/guitar? Latest: I have tried two of the 12"s with paper cones and alu dust caps. at low volumes, they sounded warmer than some grey d120fs. but the dynamics suffered and they were not as lound as originals were. Now I prefer k120s and E120s (and E110s). But the orange D120fs seem like k120s... Forum [Amps and Cabs]( [Read more](
[I want a pedalboard-friendly modeler form factor]( jzucker · Aug 7, 2023 at 9:50 AM · Replies 7 I'm hoping we can discuss form factor without a bunch of chaos. Helix Stomp is the form factor I want and what I use. I don't need a 20lb behemoth with 12 foot switches. But I do want some additional power and I feel like the helix architecture is showing its age. I use analog pedals for my... Forum [Digital & Modeling Gear]( [Read more](
[Frontmen and singers who surprised you with their guitar chops?]( PJJ · Aug 6, 2023 at 10:44 AM · Replies 115 It's always a pleasant surprise when I find out the frontman of a band, who I would have assumed would be just a medium-skill rhythm player, has great chops. When I was younger it was Billie Joe Armstrong's pentantonic blues solos that I thought were amazing and shockingly good. Though I'm less... Forum [The Sound Hound Lounge]( [Read more](
[Why did GarcÃa use the MXR Distortion+]( metrokosmiko · Aug 7, 2023 at 12:29 AM · Replies 16 Just why. Listening to the '81 Madison Square Garden show. What else was there in '81 that he could've used? It just sounds like bubblegum when he steps on it. I prefer his clean tone... Forum [The Sound Hound Lounge]( [Read more](
[Show your pedalboard: 2023]( tobereleased · Dec 31, 2022 at 6:00 AM · Replies 3K Current rig. This is set up to use with my Marshall Studio combo amp, bottom row in front of the amp, top row in the FX loop. I can easily run a cable between the two rows and use the whole thing with different amps. Only future plan is to get rid of the BBE Tremolo for a Boss, and hopefully to get a Peterson tuner. I enjoyed putting this... Forum [Effects, Pedals, Strings & Things]( [Read more](
