"Mastering is as important as any other step in the recording process-and by all means-BE THERE WHEN YOU MASTER IT-if you can...or send it to someone who understands the music you're playing and won't fuck with the vibe...mastering just…"

James Demby replied to shmo's discussion looking for a second amp in the group Bands & Musicians
"If you can find one (it shouldn't be too hard) get a Fender '63 reissue Brown Vibroverb.  It's a very nice 2x10 40 watt combo with a kick ass tube bias tremolo plus reverb.  You can usually find them at a reasonable price."

shmo replied to ShapelyDice's discussion What's most alluring to you: combo organ, fuzz, raunchy vocals, jangly guitars, galloping bass lines, groovy melodies, teen put-down lyrics?
""crunch" is probly the most likely thing to grab me off the street. usually from great guitar tone, but crunch can come from vocals, too. (think modest mouse). then it takes attitude to keep me interested. i don't mean you have to…"
