A little knowledge is a dangerous thing.

not my bag jibby, but have at it.

Might I suggest LiPo batteries. They have no fluid , are smaller and lighter and pack a bigger punch. Abrupt drop off instead of steady decline. They require smart charging and cell monitoring to do so (specialty charger) but are far superior to sealed lead acid. You can get them in a 9.6v configuration (3 cells I think). They can charge really fast too. Some upwards of 65 C.

I will study new technology.  maybe elon musk has what i'm looking for heh. also the price and long term lasting ability have to be considered.

too many rigs are too noisy. once I get past this silent supply thing I am going to look into in-line filtering along the signal path thru a pedal chain.
some pedals make their own noise(pharaoh supreme for example) and the next buffer strengthens it and so on, so it has to be attenuated somewhere early on.

ALERT:  harbor freight has those furniture dollies on sale for $8. I just grabbed 6 more. plus used a super-coupon to score a nice glass bathroom scale for like $12 ANNND my freebie LED flashlight. BOOYAH! scavenger points scored. Everything in the music room will eventually be on wheels

ehhhhhhh  ["dismissing wave of the hand" goes here] pedal power is small potatoes.
Imma start working on an array of tent/lanai deals with solar panels for the roofs that can power a generator-less desert jam. well at least during the day..
haha.

anyway.....

in other news:  So much wood results in getting even MORE wood. It's magic or something.



these just happen to be the 2 whipping boys du jour, and those 2 guitars in my little POS woodsy woods stands looked really nice.
I just need Jethro Tull's turntable from "Songs From the Wood"

it's hard to hate on Gibson after watching that.

I wonder who's RF ID system they use to track those necks? That was what I was involved with when I worked for the electronics mfr.
tThat overall place is basically the same as every other production place, and I was in tons of them supporting my product line.
I was the product mgr so when the shit hit the fan, I had to ultimately clean it up, or if there was trouble closing a sale, I had to go out there and try to help out.etc etc etc
anyway, that is a big part of why I don't care to travel any longer.

[jibberish]

then there is thee more massive and even huger than huger pizza:

EARTH'S CRUST !!!!!

[agent of change]

Lotta crust in Asheville. Whatever that is. They "dress" the same and can't play their instruments that well.

[black]

After checking out the other bands in that article I too belive y'all should be placed at the top.
Really cool stuff.
At least Radiant Beings of Light hold the Number 1 spot for Sexiest Band.

also;

Chiggerface is a brilliant name!

[jibberish]

WOW!!!!!

Santana is getting his whole original lineup back together to make albums.

that keyboard player was every bit as key to the early success of Santana as Santana was

the conversations between those 2 during songs was some of the most brilliant music I have ever heard.
I still play the shit out of Santana albums maybe more than any other band these days. it was so brilliant.

This Saturday!!!  Ancient Tools' first show at the Streets of London Pub!  Super excited.  It's been almost three years since playing live.

[Lumpy]

"Ancient Tools" 

[jibberish]

"Ancient Tools"  

what a beautiful segue into what I was going to rant about: this old guy band thing

somehow, some way, "Nitro Methusela and the 4 Barrel Fossils" (or whomever) has to
establish the new ground rules for rock n roll 2016.
establish the rock of ages as the norm.
it has to be done.



  pleistonercene music

"play" "stoner" "scene" music     ...ahhhh of course, that's what the ancients wanted.  I get it.













I sure hope rock doesn't die like big band did.................


edit: ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Random pro tip:

If you join an established band, you are in no position to make demands.

kinda depends if they recruited you or not.

[RacerX]

After our first bassist quit, Ramon basically volunteered his services outta the blue.

I suppose we could've treated him like a hired hand, but when he joined SANDIA MAN, Jon & I agreed to give him a full vote and the option to veto any decision, same as we do. Never regretted it.

That's just how we roll: as a team.

Being a team player is important. Previously mentioned individual is not acting like one.

spill the beans man. let me guess, your sax player is making demands. its always the sax players and drummers. they are like cats because cats are assholes. that's why they used to call jazz musicians 'cats'.
