Re: Quicklist: Fav Weirdo Fringe Alt.Country Albums

Blitzen Trapper is one of my very favorites. Their sound is quite a mix of different things. When they go in the direction of country/altcountry, they really shine.

Re: what kind of rig are you playing these days?

Hey Razorback, what are you dialing in on the telecaster and amp to get that Patterson tone? I'd love to steal that tone. Well, my setup has changed a bunch since then. I now have a Marshall Class 5 with a Bad Monkey OD through it, since it's a single channel amp and it has to be LOUD to acheive go...

Re: Rock and Roll Cage Match 5: Replacements vs. Husker Du

Let me say, of all the 80's alt bands, I prefer Dinosaur Jr.

I'm not a huge fan of either of these two bands. I'd choose the Replacements, though.

Re: what kind of rig are you playing these days?

Patterson's tone is just so damn cool and unique. That's why I wanna do a swap from stock HB's to Mini-hb's on my Epiphone LP. I'm trying to capture PH's tone on songs like Days of Graduation, Let There Be Rock, ABAAC and That Man I Shot. I may be mistaken, but I don't think he had the Les Paul Del...

Re: what kind of rig are you playing these days?

Yep. A 95 Mexican made standard with Texas Specials. Sounds good. I can hit Patterson't tone with the right amount of reverb and some tweeking with the tone knob with the switch on the bridge pickup. Obviously, its much easier to just try to get Cooley's sound with a Tele. Patterson's tone is just s...

Re: what kind of rig are you playing these days?

Correction: I've seen Neff play a strat on some videos during the Brighter Than Creation's Dark (or whatever that tour was called) tour. He played one on Three Dimes Down, or so I saw on a Youtube video. But I'm definitely getting a Patterson-like sound from a strat with three single coils. Weird. ...

Re: dbt tracks 86 AFTER the Scene Dies

One of my DBT fav's, as well. The intro is a thing of beauty. Patterson's LP Deluxe really shines on tracks like this one. Plus, it has a few of Cooley's best solo's.

Re: what kind of rig are you playing these days?

I have taken a gander at the Egnater stuff before and from what I remember it was a tad too pricey for me. I'm a poor bastard, so. I will give them another look, though. I also would love to have a Bogner 2X12 all tube amp, but it's really too expensive for me to justify buying as a hobbyist. I've p...

Hey Razorback, let us know how the pickup transplant goes on your Les Paul. I've used several of those Champ amps over the years and know what you mean about the lack of reverb on it, I've found that using a good delay pedal makes up for it most times. The last one I had really liked the Voodoo Lab...
