I've recently resumed an every-other-week gigging schedule and am considering
upgrading my old amp. Here's the scoop. I am now using the following:

(1) Fender Deluxe Strat Plus
(2) Alesis QuadraVerb GT
(3) Lab Series L7 amp (BTW, the band does not mic their amps, PA for vocs only)

I have been playing lead guitar to date, but would like to work my Kurzweil
K2000 into the musical picture [if you don't know what a K2000 is, feel free
to skip to the next available article :-) ]. Basically, the L7 @100W is
powerful enough, but I would like to get a clean, powerful amp that covers
the entire frequency spectrum better, so I can both coax more of those lovely
GT harmonics out of my guitar, as well as cover the VAST spectrums of sounds
from my K2000. With the Quad GT to provide the tone coloration, I don't need
guitar amp features like overdrive and compression, but having some EQ 
for adjusting the overall sound to the room would be nice.

My first thought was to get a stereo powered mixer and a couple of cabinets,
but my budget right now won't support it, and I'm not convinced that live 
stereo sound in a small club buried in the mix of a fairly loud rock band is
worth the trouble or cost. The next best affordable thing seems to me to be a
trade-in of my L7 for a used Peavey KB-300. This 150W amp has 4 channels
(incl one XLR mic input) with 3-band EQ, volume level and reverb level on
each channel, an FX loop, master volume and effects level controls, and a 15"
woofer and a horn in the cabinet. It would appear that I can trade up to this
amp for about $230 cash outlay. I plan to rent the amp first and bring it to
a practice so I can try it out before I buy it.

So, any opinions or thoughts that anyone might care to offer about the
the KB-300 for use in powering a QuadGT-processed guitar and a K2000 would be
welcome, or if there are alternatives in the same price range that I should
be aware of, I'll gladly entertain those suggestions as well.

A friend of mine's band did a demo on a Tascam 488 and it's one of the best
sounding band demo tapes I've ever heard, including some done in "pro" studios.

Not to nitpick, but not all 4-tracks record at double speed.  Take
my TASCAM Porta-5 (please! ba-dum-ba! :)).

I believe that some or all of the Fostex line has an option for 2Xspeed
recording, in order to improve high-frenquency response.

	I have two Chapman Sticks for sale. Both are Ironwood models with 
some customization. One is fretless on the bass half.

	For those who don't know what a Chapman Stick is: An electric stringed
instrument which is played entirely by tapping the strings against the frets.
Both hands are used on the fretboard (typically one does the bass and one does
chords/melody, though there are many other possibilities). There are 10
strings, divided into bass and treble groups. Each group has a separate pickup
and output jack. It has no body distinct from the neck and is worn upright at
a slight angle. The instrument was invented by Emmet Chapman, and can be heard
on the first 4 Peter Gabriel lps, the most recent 3 King Crimson lps, most
Bruce Cobeurn lps, and Pink Floyd's "Momentary Lapse of Reason". There are
others out there using it, but these are the ones I am most familiar with.

	The first is #1593 with chrome tuners. The frets on the bass half have
been removed and the gaps filled with holly strips. This gives a nice warm
fretless tone, allows sliding around, and is a bit harder to play.  The inside
ends of the remaining frets are smoothed nicely and the frets are rounded like
the new fret rods (amazing improvement!).

	The other is #1724 with black tuners. It has a custom made adjustable
bridge. The frets on the bass half have been lowered (makes it easier to avoid
damping the low C string when reaching across to fret the F# string), and all
frets are also rounded. There is small flaw at the edge of one of the fret
markers.

	I have one copy of Emmet's instruction book "Free Hands", which I will
give to the first buyer who wants it.

	I am asking $575 for each.

I haven't been reading the music newsgroups thoroughly for awhile now, but

of these units...and if so, what kinds of impressions they had.

I spoke with someone at MESA, and he told me that you should also get this
MIDI footswitch they make called the "Abacus"...for $300!!  It sounds like
it only does program changes, from what this guy was able to tell me.

Thanks for any opinions!

I'm looking into getting a multitrack cassette recorder.   Does anyone have any experience 
with the Tascam 488 or recommendations?   Its seems to be quite reasonably priced, but how 
good is the sound quality when you cram 8 tracks onto a standard cassette?   I've also heard 
Sansui makes (or used to make) a 6-track cassette recorder.   

Any info would be much appreciated, thanks,

I bought this baby when it first came out and think it's excellant as all of
Alesis' products are. I can't remember how I paid for it (sorry) but I know
for a fact that Sam Ash in NYC (1-800 472 6274) has one of the lowest prices
on it (I bought it there mail order). 

For features, quality and diversity it beats the pants off other mid-priced 
units offered by dbx etc. I use it in my home studio for guitar, bass, vocals
and final stereo mix-down "squeeze."


Buy it today - just do it!

From your description, the JMP-1 sounds very similar in operation and
functions to the ADA MP-1 midi pre-amp, apart from the cabinet emulator.
It would be interesting to directly compare the distortion sounds from
the two. I have an ADA, and I love the clean sound from it, but I have to
admit I'm getting a bit bored with the distortion sound, which can't be
varied a huge amount.

Well, Davei, why don't you just go and label all YOUR compositions "Public
Domain" then, and make them available free to everyone? I'd like to make a 
bit of money off the hard work I put into mine, though, and I REALLY get PO'd
when I hear about people like the above-mentioned bar ripping off the 
songwriters like that. I'm not likely to ever be up there with Sammy Cahn, 
the Gershwins, Cole Porter, and others... but I DO expect to be paid for
my labors... and when was the last time you heard about a songwriter being
paid by the HOUR? Performance rights are their ONLY cource of income, and 
failing to pay those is plain and simple theft.

As I said in my previous post, if you want to at least pay lip service to the
law, then exchange lyrics via E-mail. This will do three things:

1) Cut out wasted bandwidth.
2) make it a lot harder for anyone to spot your violation of law.
3) keep a lot of innocent machine owners from getting THEIR butts toasted when
   you do get caught.

The net can't _afford_ to be run on the spirit of the law, when lawyers,
judges, and juries adjudicate on the letter of the law.

For the record, the latest issue of Guitar Player (the issue featuring
slide guitar) did a review of the JMP-1 vs the Boogie Tri-Axis.
In a nutshell, they loved the JMP-1 for it's great sound and ease-
of-use. I think the only thing they didn't about it was it was
the design makes it difficult to change tubes quickly. As for
the Tri-Axis, they pretty much slammed it for what they referred
to as "harsh and thin" tones, but found it more versatile
then the JMP-1 (I think they were trying to find something nice
to say about it). They even described one of the lead voices
as having a "paper tearing sound"!

Hello everyone,

Sorry about the duplicated post instead of a proper crosspost, but
this is going through a mail-usenet gateway.

I'll be playing guitar with a singing group at a friend's wedding on
the 17th. The author of the song we want to sing was kind enough to
send me, together with his permission, a handwritten partial copy of
the music.

The problem is that there are several chords which I don't recognise,
can't find and don't know how to work out. Could anyone help me with
the following chords:

	E2  Am9  E/G#  B/C#  A6/B  G#-9  C#2M8  F#/G#  E/F#  F#/B  G/B  C/D

I think that the chords of the form X/Y mean "play X but with a bass
note of Y". Is that correct? - if so I should be able to work them out
myself.

More generally, can anyone direct me to a document (on an FTP site,
perhaps?) which explains how to work out chords with added/subtracted
bits.

I'd appreciate replies by mail if possible, since our feed is sometimes
a bit slow. I'll post a summary of anything I receive.

Thanks for your help,

	Kevin

    Are you on the MH mailing list?  It's free, and I can post the address
if people here are interested.  I got signed up at a MH concert in Madison,
WI about a year ago.  They've recently instituted an additional mailing
list that sends out more stuff, but it costs $5/yr.
