Most Baby Boomers didn't play in a band in their younger days, but many wish they had. Instead, they went to dental school or something comparable. While daydreaming about what might have been, they...

i'm looking for some jazz that's not so darned jazzy.

If there is someone running the sound, running your signal through the board will help the sound man's ability to get a good mix. A direct out from the Loudbox sends your EQed signal to the board,...

The local store in my town is really good about keeping strings in stock if they know what everyone needs. The owner even gives me a call when he gets a new bunch of strings in that he knows I like....
