because you'd be crazy not too! gotta love that spring reverb
i think i might bring some pedals though. hey if they dont have reverb you could bring a reverb pedal (i know i know its not the same but it would make things a little better)

one of us might want to bring a few of those small "jumper" guitar cords for pedals just in case. i dont remember what the cord situation was last year. also i will probably bring a bunch of 9V's if there are gonna be pedals abound. i really dont remember much about the garage from last year...i definitely wandered around in it, but dont remember about cord quantities and power supplys/strips. this really should be a good time tho!

I play bass pretty well. I am currently learning someold school blues guitar. I also play with turn tables. Any body around or in Atlanta want organize a jam session.

^Kick ass. I know this has probably been posted, but what do you play? Effects Rig? etc....My friend has a huge turn-table rig I could give him a call.
^im glad to see hwo this thread has taken off. im also in Atlanta and would be more than down to jam sometime. my set up consists of a five string Fender Jazz bass (MIM) deluxe version with active electronics and my amp is non existent but as soon as Im out of my current amount of debt, there should be one (Ive been thinking about Kustom combo amps, anybody hve experience with these?). and my electric guitar set up is non existent as well due to my fund situation. and yes pjgirl, you have my permission.

I'm going to get a Modulus Quantum-5 sometime over the summer. As of now I have a shitty amp that is good enough to get by with, a Yamaha 4-String fretted, and a nice Bass Pod XT Live floor controller. I'm learning blues guitar and I have a Yamaha electric I got for free, and an oldschool Alvarez acoustic I got for free that I am fixing up so I can get good at playing it. I also have an old Crate bass given to me by my buddy that I'm making into a fretless. I plan on getting an Ampeg amp with an SWR head in the future.

mmmm Modulussss. Those things send chills down my spine when I play them, wish I could drop the cash for one.
Who's a drummer around here? I need to learn how to play and more importantly that's usually the place where the jammin goes down.
my friend quinn (he might actually be a member of this board, so if you are, speak up) is coming and he can play drums enough to get by jamming so maybe he could show you some stuff. me and him rocked out last eyar in the garage.
my current guitar lineup is a fender custom custom 60 nos strat, another fender personally tweaked american strat, gibson custom '59 les paul, and a martin dc aura. just got rid of a '52 tele not too long ago (its ok ill get another)
for effects i use my amp switch, dd20 delay, clyde mccoy wah, ts9 tubescreamer, and a microvibe.
all ran through a fender hot rod 410 (retubed)
i have a friend that is a drummer and is always down to jam

^I like the sound of that!!! Karma for your willingness to jam out. But oh man, I cannot wait until my tax return gets here. That $400 is going towards a Boomerang Phrase Sampler+, so I can loop all my stuff to add more than one bass line. A month after that is my birth day... new amp. And two weeks after that is my high school graduation...........I'll be frekin loaded. Which is great considering I'm pretty broker right now.

any chance youll be getting rid of your old bass amp? i will be in the market for one quite soon.
Yeah. I could sell it to you right now if you really need one. It's a small Frontman (Fender Subproduct) 25B Amp. It's a small combo amp that still works great and can get pretty frekin' loud. The only reason I'm getting a new one is cuz I want to have a bigger, more professional sound rig. I bought it new at Music and Arts when I started two years ago for two hundred. I'll let you name your price. I'm in a bad situation right now so I can do it for around $75. You can drop by and play on it with your bass or mine.
crap, i was looking for something more around the 100-mid hundred watt range but that doesnt mean its totally out of the question right now because i really need something so i can actually hear my bass when i play. a couple months without an amp now, and its gettin f^ckin old. how does the amp handle a low B string? i have a fiver so this tends to be a problem with smaller amps

Hmmm. I know mine always sounds great for its size for a standard 4-string. But I actually have never played on MY amp with a 5(+)-string. I'm sure it would sound fine. But if you are looking for an amp that sounds great with low-ended (NO PON INTENDED ;D) tones, I would check out Ampeg or Gallien-Kruger Amps. Pricey if you get them new, but IMO the best kind of amp you'll want to get.

doesnt really help for shows, but for practicing at home (if you have a decent computer and decent home stereo) I just run my bass and guitar thru my computer and into my stereo. All you need is a 1/4" to 1/8" adapter ($3) and a 1/8" to rca ($10). Only really good for practicing tho..not practical for playing out. Wonderful for recording too!

Oh, and I also drive a VW Jetta if that helps y'all any... sorry if that has nothing to do with this, but I'm drinking right now and I just have to be sure, you know. ??? ;D
I forgot to mention, I also play keys, bass, mandolin, banjo, harmonica, drums, and pretty much anything else.
