You can always start a new thread on the "music reviews" subforum about the night birds. — Danny Snyder "With great reverb comes great responsibility" - Uncle Leo Playing keys and guitar with Combo Tezeta Formerly a guitarist in The TomorrowMen and Meshugga Beach Party Latest surf project - Now That's What I Call SURF Top

Punk and Surf combined pretty damn well-ly. http://night-birds.bandcamp.com/ I had never heard of them but they're coming to my town at the end of June so I'll probably be watching them if I'm free that night. They're a bit more punk than I'd do personally, I'm more of a pop punk guy. Top

I'm not really into theory and am kinda ignorant about that kinda thing. There is a recording I heard on the internet somewhere of Dick Dale doing his strum pattern with his mouth. It's almost like skat or beatboxing. It demonstrates the syncopation concept someone else mentioned here. I'll have to look for it again. — Always down to trade records!!! http://deadformat.net/tradelist/hoagiebait Music!!! https://hoagiebait.bandcamp.com Top

I have a really nice TC Electronics Nova pedal which has great reverb but it pales in comparison to an external tank. This unfortunately means sweet tone= large capital outlay. That being said a good solid state amp with a reverb tank (ie Fender Princeton Chorus) has pristine cleans and damn good reverb at a couple hundred bucks. I would sell the Frontman and start hunting for a nicer amp. Check the "what kind of amp to buy" threads here on SG 101. I agree about The Princeton Chorus, as a solid state low cost amp. it preforms very well with Fender'ish cleans and reverb. Top
