whatever helps out.

i have put a couple together for friends and i have found that sometimes the original cabinet and just making a new front with a hole for a tube works out pretty good.

I think danelectro is a good brand for the price. I have a couple of their boxes and they sound pretty good. as for a wah, I'd go for a Behringer Hellbabe. they're only about 50 bucks and they sound godly.

What I would do is make the guitar work around your playing, not the other way around. when you star to change the way you play because the guitar you play on won't accommodate, you lose the essence of yourself and start to sound more and more generic.
shape your sound using the tone knob first. It should get rid of some of the brightness that i can infer doesn't really fit into your playing. Than, play with the settings on your amp to get yourself the best mix possible. If your amp has presets and not individual EQ knobs, I would suggest getting a new amp.
Finally, if all else fails, I would use effects pedals. I tend to stay away from chorus and delay because the extra wiring has a habit of taking away from your tone.
Hope I helped.

Recently i made a talk box, and i thought it would be so much fun that I would share it with everyone so they could have just as much fun. Here's what you do.

1.) Find a small (5-10 Watt) amplifier from, say, a computer speaker. be sure you know were the inputs and outputs are, because you are going to need to cut them apart.

2.) Go to goodwill and get a stereo speaker in a speaker box. The Speaker should have about a three inch diameter.

3.) splice the input wires on the amplifier to expose the wiring. now solder on a 1/4" input.

4.) attach the output wires from the amp to the speaker.

5.) cut holes in the box for the input and the power supply.

6.) place the amplifier in the box

7.) thread the input and power wires through the holes you just cut.

8.) make sure the speaker is attached to the speaker box with the speaker face showing through the hole.

9.) stuff the empty space in the speaker box with cotton balls or rags to soundproof the box.

10.) Glue a second box that has five sides instead of the usual six onto the speaker box. It should be the same size as the speaker so that it covers the speaker face. the open side should be facing into the speaker box.

11.) Cut a hole on the top of the second box to accommodate a vinyl hose.

12.) stick the vinyl hose into the hole and run it up next to your microphone.

13.) cover any holes you made with tape to complete sound proofing.

14.) plug your guitar into the input, turn on the amplifier, and listen in the end of the tube for sound. If there is no sound, check your wiring, or see if your amp is turned up.

15.) plug your microphone into a high powered speaker and adjust to a level where you don't get feedback.

16.) put the end of the hose into your mouth and mouth out words as you strum your guitar. If no sound comes out, review the steps until you find your problem.

17.) have fun!

I Have noticed That with many people, a constant tempo is reverted back to when they perform any song. For instance, Their "Internal Tempo" may be 110 beats per minute, and when performing at a rate of 90 BPM, they revert back to the internal tempo. A phycological answer?

Here's a post I read on another forum that may help (credit to ljguitar on the AGF). I've also read that your guitar must be purchased from a pawn shop in order to get the proper blues tone.


How To Play And Sing The Blues

    * Most Blues begin with: "Woke up this morning..."
    * "I got a good woman" is a bad way to begin the Blues unless you stick something nasty in the next line like "I got a good woman with the meanest face in town."

Well, the blues isn't just about being sad and down. In fact, a lot of the blues is being down, but acnowledging that things could be worse, and singing about that. Songs like "Let the Good Times Roll" used themes that spoke of how you should make the best of the times. This is especially emphisized in the line "You only live once, and when you're dead, you're gone".

Good idea and theme for a song, but after reading the lyrics all I see is an anti-Bush-anit-McCain/Palin-let's-get-Obama-in song.  No party is perfect.  It's a shame how many bitter people there are out there that think all of our country's problems are because of Bush.  Guess what? We've turned from our core values, sought after money and material things rather than God, and yeah, look where we are.  Just my opinion.

YOu make an interesting point, and I agree. I wonder why it is that people don't like bush at all. He was just trying to do a good thing for other contries and our own.
