Permalink Cheap gear recording

The new Sonic Nightmare 3 tracks ep is online :
http://bangbangrecords.bandcamp.com/album/sonic-nightmare-r-i-p

This is a "very cheap diy recording", I've decided to use the cheapest things I have at home to record this ep :

-drumkit : 2 mics, using this technique 2 min 35 -> 3 min 18

-guitar : Jaguar (japan) with Lollar pu's and RI 63 unit

-bass and organ : Precision bass (Mexico) and Elka X55 organ

=>copy of the Tech 21 blonde

I did not spend hours to mix it (Audacity free software), it was done very quicly and I'm quiet happy with the result. The goal was to have a decent "garage" sound with this cheap gear :

DI + preamp pedal + mic = 100 euros

I love cheap gear! so many great records made under dreadful (by today's standards) circumstances.

Très bonne nouvelle !

I will need your (great surf guitar player) ears, I'm so impressed by the Joyo pream that I'm gonna use it with a EHX caliber 22 / 1x12 cab as main amp this saturday.
