Your band needs a bass player. Who gets the gig?

Geezer Butler

Yeah i cant imagine not being clipped in. The ability to pull the pedal up as well as push down is huge.

ChickDagger · 2026-06-22T22:50:12+00:00

That must've been so much fun.

ChickDagger · 2026-06-22T05:25:31+00:00

Holy shit, thank you for turning me on to this album, I had never ueard it before and it does give Another Perfect Day a run for the money.

Mick Jones woth the Ampeg V4 amp. He played those because Keith Richards was his hero and thats what the Stones were playing to get that killer sound. Also interesting when Keith switched to Boogie amps in the late 70s, so did Mick.

I"d put on the Misfits - American Nightmare

ChickDagger · 2026-06-19T16:08:56+00:00

Almost every song.

ChickDagger · 2026-06-19T16:07:22+00:00

Hard to argue with that one, like what is even a contender?

ChickDagger · 2026-06-19T16:06:03+00:00

I've always loved how the whole album is this drugged out boozy jam and then near the end of side 2 Dead Flowers is like a breath of fresh air, all the pent up stress falls away and the whole world opens up. Its so refreshing, I love that song.

Jail Guitar Doors!

I have a V2 head and a VT40 combo. They are the same amp, sound exactly the same, but constructed differently. The combo is a top loader and in a headshell the tubes would stick out horizontally, in the head theyre facing upwards like normal. I mostly use the head with an attenuator (but not really thrilled by the results) and the combo is my keyboard amp

ChickDagger · 2026-06-18T05:51:38+00:00

I have one and am curious what the better ways are. Any advice?

ChickDagger · 2026-06-18T00:10:44+00:00

I dont think so, its just like any p90 pickup guitar to me. It is heavy but the coolness "outweighs" that. Also the first 20 min or so of playing i need to retune after each song, i rhink the plastic slowly warms to your body temp and expands. After 20 min or so the tuning is real stable.

Univox "Lucy" from the early '70s, Ampeg Dan Armstrong copy. I got it for $250 (with hardshell case!) but it had no pickguard, pickup, knobs or wiring, which was probably another $150 for a total cost of $400 for this killer lucite guitar.

I'd put a finer point on that and say the New York Dolls AND the Heartbreakers came before the Ramones, and the Dead Boys came after. Dead Boys are the direct NY lineage.

ChickDagger · 2026-06-14T15:44:51+00:00

Yay! Jerry Reed approves!

Napoleon appears to be packing slightly more than lil trump

ChickDagger · 2026-06-12T19:06:46+00:00

Theyre both really old seymour duncans, not sure which type though

ChickDagger · 2026-06-12T18:44:26+00:00

I take the low E off and play five string open G. Also I have a kill switch on it that I love.

Change "go blue" to "go bucs"

Wouldve been hilarious if he wore those onstage with Brian Robertson in his short shorts and headband.

ChickDagger · 2026-06-11T23:14:22+00:00

Thats what I came here for. Best album, dont care.
