| How important is bass to you? Bdp24, I think you'd have to have similar amps, speakers and room to reproduce a live rock band sound. But personally that's not the standard I would use. Live band soundmen tend to push the bass and drums too loud, leaving too little space for th... | |
| Disappointing audition after great review It's so subjective--I have a modest but well-researched system that really hits the spot for me. But most non-audiophiles who hear it seem to be not so impressed. And some days it doesn't even grab me in a strong way. So there's a lot to consider ... | |
| How important is bass to you? "All parts matter." Bass is no more, no less important than any other voice in the music. | |
| How important is bass to you? Onhwy61, actually the band probably had several midrange and treble players and singers. So the bass is vastly outnumbered (but the real answer is: only one is needed--with more than one things would get really messy in a heartbeat).Bdp24, that's ... | |
| What is your favourite Coltrane album ? I like the Giant Steps CD reissue--it sounds great and has some really good outtakes (several versions each of Naima and Giant Steps, for instance). Lotta bang for the buck. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Zavato, is that UA or Capitol/Apple version? | |
| "All Things Must Pass"-Tower Records Documentary I liked the local (Austin) Tower store for its selection, its artwork on the building and its "instore" concerts (I took my kids to see/hear the Toeadies there). The store was in a building that housed a theater in earlier days (I saw "Mad Dogs an... | |
| Garage Band Hangover I think Lou Ann works well with Jimmie Vaughan on a few cuts on his album "Do you get the blues." I regret not having gone to listen to her in the Triple Threat Revue (SRV & Double Trouble) at Rome Inn way back in time. I have heard her at Ant... | |
| Garage Band Hangover Bdp, I do like Miss Lou Ann but, geez...she's not Janis. | |
| Jazz Club In Your Living Room Will my eyes burn? Will I have to wash the smoke out of my hair and clothes the next day? | |
| Overshadowed by bandmates I recently watched the Keith documentary on Netflix. It was enjoyable and I liked Keith as a person, but I was underwhelmed by his playing. I guess his value is higher as a songwriter than as a player. I used to admire his guitar solo on Heart of ... | |
| Songs that trigger you to switch the station or... Anything with Getty Lee or Axl Rose singing. The horror, the horror... | |
| Overshadowed by bandmates Mapman, I did not know that--it makes up a bit for finding out that some of my favorite Harrison solos were played by McCartney (notably, Drive My Car and Taxman). | |
| TheVinylPress.com Oh, my bad, sorry--who's left from Canned Heat? I know Blind Owl checked out ages ago and he was my favorite, far and away. | |
| It Was 40 Years Ago Today... The Japanese-made Tokai strats and Les Pauls are nice guitars, well worth the money. I had a Tokai strat for 30 years. Marty, I agree about Eddie. On the other hand, I love Hendrix more with each passing year. Not the best singer, but I like his v... |
