You might try a VOX VR30. Pretty nice, 30 watts, two channels plus an overdrive boost. It's a hybrid with a tube in the preamp and solid state poweramp. No modeling stuff either. |

I can't agree bluezy. What you pay for is the artist to play for you not for the artist to cater to you. You don't choose the set list, you don't choose the gear, you don't choose a lot of things. ... |

Just got in from seeing Amos Garrett. Still amazing. No Midnight at the Oasis solo, but really interesting player. |

Daved,
I was reading in the Robben Discussion section about the live sound of the bass rig on the England tour. I was just wondering about your opinion on live bass mixes. I so often end up confu ... |

He was drumming and was terrific. He swapped off with Louie Perez for a few tunes. Real good drummer. |

Just saw Los Lobos again at a small theatre here in Toronto. Why don't they get more recognition? Amazing show, great players -- all three of them -- someone yelled out for Freddie Fender so David H ... |

I think that a lot of the time, tone is what gets the point across exactly with what the song is, the attitude is -- everything is sympatico. Like somehow, Adrian Belew's sound, crazy as it might be, ... |

What drives me crazy is that carry on bags are now almost all small suitcases. You can never find overhead space. So they let all these bulging bags be carried on but you can't bring a guitar in a s ... |
