  1. Ouch. I always hated seeing bands on Letterman with the house band backing them up. They must have had a really lazy soundman or something. How hard is it to mic up a drumset? I wonder if David Letterman ever saw Anton Fig wearing his "Fig not Fier" T-shirt and, if so, if he knew what it meant.
  2. I see. I didn't know if Nash was using old Fender parts, or something.
  3. I've seen him with the NC Singers & Carla Bozulich twice in Atlanta and once in Iowa (opening for Wilco as part of Carla's group). That was before he was in Wilco. Ever since joining Wilco he hasn't done a cross country solo tour and even before Wilco it was pretty rare. Plus, it's Vancouver. Who wouldn't jump at every possible chance to go to Vancouver?
  4. That looks amazing. How much would something like that cost? Is Nash the manufacturer? Why does it say Fender on the headstock?
  5. It'd keep you busy, but at least you'd have job security. Seriously, don't let my comment sway your decision. I did see some drunk college girls at lunchtime on a Friday, but it wasn't like an epidemic or anything.
  6. I've only visited once, but my impression is that there are lots of college students, male and female, in various states of drunkeness walking all over town starting at 10 or 11 am every day. Whether that's a plus or a minus is up to you.
  7. Me too, but that's probably because he had to sit there listening to/answering all the stupid-ass questions that got edited out of the interview.
  8. I think the guitarist in that band also plays in Tin Hat Trio. I haven't heard the Old Joe Clarks, but the guitar playing should be very good. I don't know if that means anything to you.
  9. The Tweedy-esque double-pickguard acoustic guitar DLR is holding at the beginning of that clip is not enough to make Roth-haters start liking him?
  10. For some reason I've been passing on that one at the library every week for almost a year. I'll get it next time if it's still there. One beloved album from my collection is this:
  11. Interesting. Maybe he keeps them set up on stage so he can jump on the drums if the mood strikes him. That's what I'd do if I were him. Stevie's a really fantastic drummer. Did Stevie play much harmonica during the show?
  12. That's an amazing setlist. I wish I was going to see him in Atlanta this week. I had previously mentioned that he had already played here, but that is wrong. The photos I saw that I thought were from his Atlanta show must've been from an old tour, or some other cirty on this tour. I see that there's an electronic drumset on Steve's right. I'm assuming he stepped over and played some drums? I'd love to see that.
  13. I can't vouch from experience, but I have heard that JJ tubes work well in the '65 Deluxe Reverb (DRRI). Might be worth a shot if you haven't already tried them. (I was dying to get a DRRI last year, but I got impatient and got an Ampeg Reverberocket, which I love, for 1/3 the price.) https://ssl.eurotubes.com/cart/index.php?pa..._category_id=35 That link is for a full retube kit, but it should say which 6v6s they use in place of the stock tubes.
  14. here's a link to the search results for "Jeff's orange guitar": http://forums.viachicago.org/index.php?act...uitar&st=25 The microwave popcorn thread is on page two of the results.
  15. Yeah, I'm a dumbass. Regardless, if you searched for "jeff's orange guitar" you'd get results about microwave popcorn and the Grateful Dead, and any number of other things that have nothing to do with Wilco's equipment.
  16. That is the exact thread that the "do a search before you ask a question" crowd is saying should have never existed in the first place.
  17. "It's a Gibson Barney Kessel" is easier to type than "We've already been over this. Do a search." Do a search for "Jeff's orange guitar" and see how much irrelevant garbage you have to sort through before you find the answer.
  18. There is hammered dulcimer on "Company in My Back" and probably a bunch of other songs.
  19. If it only had two knobs (volume and tone) it was a Pro Jr. Blues Jr. has reverb, and bass, mid & treble knobs instead of just a single tone knob. Also, it has a 12" speaker. The Pro Jr has a 10" speaker.
  20. I don't think they've even scratced the surface of what they can do with their current instrumentation, so I'd be surprised if they abandoned the guitars. I'd prefer to see Glen anandon the drumset and just play percussion. Not to take anything away from his excellent drumming, I just think that'd be an experiment that I'd enjoy hearing more than a no guitar experiment.
  21. That's true (with the possible exception of folks who play outdoor gigs without running the amps through a PA). The Pro Jr. is only 15 watts. That might not be enough volume depending on the style of music. Also, if you play clean a lot you might want more than 15 watts. I've never heard anyone complain about the Peavey Classic 30. They are some of the praised mass produced amps out there.
  22. Congrats. I can't imagine ever getting rid of my Tele. I'd say you made a wise decision.
  23. I thought they stopped publication of Guitar World Acoustic.
