You're damn' right, but I thought I read it on the Turner-Renaissance website

Yeah, Samick...they're upper-scale stuff is made pretty well for the price. There are a couple of models I wouldn't mind or be ashamed to have in my guitar collection

I run it through an old beat-up tweed Fender Blues DeVille 410, overdrive channel...gain cranked, bass on 9, midrange on 10, treble on 5 (they go to 12!!), master volume rarely gets above 3; then run a Fender SFX Satellite off the FX loop (slight slap echo with reverb)...no foot pedals...only thing between the guitar & amp is a Boss TU-12 tuner. That gives me a great basic tone that I can go either clean or really crunch depending on the gain of the Turner's EQ.

HAHA! Awesome. You like that much mid? I keep my bass on 9, mid at about 5 and treble at 8...hmm...i am using a Boss SD1 pedal and an old RV3 (reverb/delay) pedal that my buddy Josh gave me. Pretty good sound, but I'm playing on two Les Pauls primarily and its just too heavy for that Lindsey sound I think. The fingerpicking gets a little lost you know?

So when can we hear an MP3 of your playing, little demon?

Post it, baby, post it!!

You know what? I am completely computer challenged when it comes to uploading recorded audio files. I wouldn't even know the first step. I have some recordings, mostly on DAT tape...a few on CDs. I will ask my friend Carl what to do with what i have and see what I can do.

Just a little question: anyone here who knows how old Rick Turner is ?

I believe he is about 60-65.

HA! I DID call him this morning. He doesnt have a DAT-tape deck. He suggests I borrow one, so he can burn everything to CD. I dont want to buy one, as I'm sure I'll hardly ever need it. I dont think many people use DAT tapes very often anymore.

**mylittledemon** · #55 07-11-2005, 04:23 PM

one more thing, should I get my stuff burned onto CD...how in the heck do I get it into an MP3 file and post it...?

BRANDoN

Well, I don't really. Just that I'm in a band that has THREE guitarists...the other two are really "mid heavy", so to "blend" with them, I turn up the mids. Otherwise, it would wreak havoc with the other two guitarists that my guitar would cut through the mix even while playing rhythm. So, instead of them backing off the mids (like I've suggested 100's of times), they'd just turn up the volume. Then it becomes "volume war MCMXXX"...one guy turns up, then the next guy turns up, then someone says they can't hear ME, so I should turn up...then of course the bass player has to turn up...then the vocals & drummer get drowned out, the PA gets turned up, the monitors start feeding back, the bar manager gets pissed because we're too loud and the waitress can't hear the drink orders. Of course, all this happens once the drinks have started arriving on stage and being consumed. When we're all sober, the mix is f-ing phenomenal.

OH god I'd LOVE to play in a band. I think I could get addicted to volume war MCMXXX. Sounds totally wicked.

Dude...thats AWESOME Chili. The last time we did I'm So Afraid live, Scott the drummer gave me an 'eat ****' look after the 2nd verse, because I had the overdrive pedal up too high on the part where the final solo kicks in! Because I had already started playing so I couldnt bend down and turn it down. Ah well...everyone went nuts at the end anyways.

I dont think I have "So Afraid" recorded on anything. Maybe steph filmed it at one of our shows...but nothing on CD or anything like that. I will have to start recording more stuff and find a way for you guys to see it. BUT...we rarely do Mac songs. Most people dont recognize them and it frustrates me.
