	Woah! Where did _that_ come from? Not only do I like Def Leppard, I'm
have 3rd row center seats for their concert Friday night here in Las Vegas. In
fact, I started reading this thread becasue I thought it might have something
to do with their song "Women"(a very under-rated song IMO). Just had to get

i think the song is basically E-G-A, then F#m-A, back to E-G-A.
the chorus is something like A-E a few times, then F#m-A and back to            E-G-A.

I'd suggest that you try to get hold on the book "The Flamenco Guitar"
by Juan D. Grecos.  I think its from the early 70's and was published
by some large american publisher -- probably Sam Fox.

I found it to be an excellent guide to flamenco technique, at least
when you're new to it.  It explains both rhythms and basic technique
and has examples in both tab and standard notation.

Enjoy,

Your rockman is NOT like any effect processor because it has a built-in
compressor/limiter. That's why it sounds reasonable on your headphones.
That's why it'll sound thin on your amp. Unless you're willing to hack
your rockman apart, it's the best you can do....

Re: Preamps and Power amps...


In my humble opinion an ADA Mp1 is the king of the road in preamps...
Well, in your price range.  I'm the king of fickle and I've had mine
in my gig-rig for over three years.  Thats NOT like me at ALL !
Keep in mind also, that a lot of "known" guitarists have one - that
sez something to me...

I use mine in conjunction with a Metaltronix/Perfect Connection SP1000
(Lee Jacksons now defunct company) - it's a 125wpc stereo power amp,
single rack space and about 14 lbs.  It'll deafen you.

FWIW - There is a pawn shop here in town (Colorado Springs) that just 
happens to have an Mp1 for $229 and an Sp1000 for $219.    I bet you could
get both for $400 or less.

Also,  since Metaltronix is out of business, you may want to consider
a TubeWorks MOSvalve power amp... $350 or so new.  80wpc, and they 
hump too - two spaces though.

I do NOT recommend a Quadraverb GT.  The distortions and OD's sound
like shit (thin and scratchy).  However, I think the regular quad
(no GT) has some GREAT effects, excellent MIDI implementation etc...
A lot of bang for your buck.

Hope this helps.

jc - a happy Mp1 owner...

International Musician tested the pre-amp about 9 months ago.
I think the comment was:

"750 POUNDS FOR 4 12AX7's????!!!!"

It apparently sounded very good though, with the clean channel virtually
undistortable (there's a good word!!) and the dirty channel giving anything
from a nicely rounded blues wail to a full blown scream.

But check out Solus amps here first. Much cheapear ranging from about 350
pounds up. The Stones have bought a whole bunch of them. I haven't tried them
but they were getting rave reviews from one of the London music shows.

I got mine a little over a month ago and have since sent it back.  The
sounds were ok, better than an old ART (I haven't played any new ones) but
I finally decided that all those stupid menu screens made it too much
of a beast to program and fiddle.  I also realized that I liked
basically only one setting of chorus and reverb, didn't like the volume
decay of the delay, and found that trying to get a decent distortion
sound w/o peaking and A LOT of noise  was next to impossible.

I can only address the second issue since I don't know much about the 355. 
However, I own both a strat and a 335 and the difference is clear, bell-like
trebly sound from the strat, and warm round sounds from the 335. Both of mine
have standard pickups (the strat is a 57 reissue and the 335 a 1983 dot model).
I disagree a bit with the characterization of the 335 as only good for pre 80s
music. This is true if you run the 335 through and overdriven system, or really
crank the guitar itself to get max volume. That gives a very ballsy sound
approaching the sustain and distortion of a Les Paul. However, I also like
to run the 335 very clean and at low output to give me an ersatz jazz tone
(without the added expense of keeping a Gibson ES 175 or other expensive fully
hollowbody guitar around). Several modern jazz players use ES 335s, Larry
Carlton comes to mind. One other detail that may be important to the sound I
get, I use a Fender amp and a GSP-21. The Fender can get rather clean (but at
the same time warm) tones at low volume and plenty of "warmth" at the high end.
Hope this helps. I'd be interested in knowing what the 355 does too!.

Yo!
Flame on.
Sound-wise the choice of the right pick-up is very frustrating: Some pick-ups
go well with some guitar/amp. I would like to see a 'slide-on-any-pick-up-test-
guitar-with-quick-connectors' in every music store for comparing those sounds.
Also i would like to read at least one of the guitar magazines to bench-test
them side-by-side. They could show the frequency curves, total output powers
magnetic pull on the strings, feed-back properties etc. Now the only 'info'
comes from the ads: Bla bla Hot as Hell bla infinite sustain bla bla vintage
sound bla screaming scorching bla. Makes me puke. Flame off.

So, does anyone know, if someone has published technical comparisons of pick-
ups? I'm especially interested in the upper harmonics properties.

I only played on for ten minutes or so but I liked it quite a bit,
except for the trem bar.  (It was likely a very good one, I just prefer
fixed bridges.)

The neck played really well, and the overall craftmanship seemed
good.  There's a bunch of different models however so there may
be some range in the quality & price.

I was under the impression that the GT was the same as the Quadraverb Plus, but
with an added pre-amp section. Is this not the case?

Since I'm considering buying one (or something similar), perhaps someone could
explain the differences (in features and in perceived sound) between the:

- Quadraverb Plus
- Quadraverb GT

Hey all,

I'm in the process of re-wiring my guitar and figured I'd dip my bucket
into the well of information that is the net...

1) Phase...what is meant by two pickups being in or out of phase?  And
how would I go about wiring it so as to be able to switch back and forth?

2) Shielding...does the innards of an electric guitar really need shielding?
This was talked about a few months ago, but I didn't pay much attention.  I
think someone mentioned metallic paint?

3) Series/Parallel...I noticed that when more than one pickup is selected
the pickups are in series.  Is there such a thing as wiring one's pickups
in parallel?  What would that do?

4) Tapping...what does tapping a double-coil pickup imply?  Does it have
to do with the two coils being in or out of phase?  What does that mean
(see question 1)?

Thanks,

Stephen

I agree completely with you about Ronnie Earl - he is truly one of the

makes his home in Central Massachusetts, so I have an opportunity to see 
him very often, of which I am truly thankful.   He also gives guitar lessons
and holds workshops at a music store on Acton MA.  I called once to find 
about lessons and they said he charges $45 for a 45 minute lesson (a far
cry from the previously reported $1000/lesson for Satriani).  He is also
somewhat of a protege of B.B. King.   I've read articles where B.B. says
that he thinks of Ronnie as a son.
