Members rock-lobster Posted April 27, 2010 Members Share Posted April 27, 2010 1st: There's two forums now? Does anyone here watch Lost? This reminds me of this season of Lost. 2nd: Finally got around to doing an original for the first time in ages. Let me know what you think: http://www.soundclick.com/bands/page_songInfo.cfm?bandID=819397&songID=9069061 3rd: I'm moving to Boston for college soon and I'm not gonna have a whole lot of space, and I'm considering my options for what guitars to take. I have 3 good electrics and currently 0 () acoustics to take. Can anyone recommend a good, all around acoustic for under $500? I'm thinking of one of those unfinished lower end Martins at the moment. 4th: Is getting one of those $120 Dunlop Bricks worth the money or are there more cost-efficient multiple-pedal power supplies out there?

Members Carbohydrates Posted April 27, 2010 Members Share Posted April 27, 2010 4th: Is getting one of those $120 Dunlop Bricks worth the money or are there more cost-efficient multiple-pedal power supplies out there? One spot. Powers 5 or 8 pedals from one regular outlet. Cheap and effective! You'll need this and either this or this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ej Posted April 27, 2010 Members Share Posted April 27, 2010 yo lobby,my mom picked up a Martin D15 for $500 not to long ago.

Members rock-lobster Posted April 27, 2010 Author Members Share Posted April 27, 2010 I'd recommend a Breedlove. I've played a bunch of acoustics in that range lately and I really liked the concert-sized Breedloves, though the Seagulls came close as well. One spot. Powers 5 or 8 pedals from one regular outlet. Cheap and effective! You'll need this and either this or this. Breedlove, don't think I've ever played one but I'll check them out. Seagull's definitely an option.Digging the 1 spot for sure.

And yes, I watch Lost. I've actually liked this season, but I know it hasn't been too well received. 2nd: Finally got around to doing an original for the first time in ages. Let me know what you think: http://www.soundclick.com/bands/page_songInfo.cfm?bandID=819397&songID=9069061 I like it - solo is a little ice-picky, but overall it's really good. 3rd: I'm moving to Boston for college soon and I'm not gonna have a whole lot of space, and I'm considering my options for what guitars to take.

What happened to Belmont?Yamaha FG730S 4th: Is getting one of those $120 Dunlop Bricks worth the money or are there more cost-efficient multiple-pedal power supplies out there?Already been covered, but FYI - some pedals just don't like the one-spot. Don't know what it is, but my dan-o pedals do better on batteries than the one-spot. they get noisy. don't know why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mike Fiasco Posted April 27, 2010 Members Share Posted April 27, 2010 Nothing to add, but a man of quality like yourself could do no harm to an affordable Martin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Willyguitar Posted April 27, 2010 Members Share Posted April 27, 2010 I've got a Martin DC-1E - it's the best guitar I have ever owned, and the best acoustic I have ever played. Sounds great plugged in too. A bit pricey, considering its got a stratabound neck, but that doesn't bother me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Les Paul Lover Posted April 27, 2010 Members Share Posted April 27, 2010 Rock Lobster - I drunk two pints of you on friday night! It was quite funny, whe I saw that ale being called Rock Lobster, well, thought of you, and just couldn't drink anything else really!!! 1) Messy isn't it? 2) Listening to it - cool funny latina vibe + driving rythm. Not to keen on the instruments sound though. 3 & 4) no idea - but I'm sure you won't care now you know I drunk 2 pints of rock lobster AND thought of you!

I've actually liked this season, but I know it hasn't been too well received. I'm loving this season. I meant the two different timelines thing, it's like two separate forums Belmont and Berklee wound up the same price so I went with Berklee.

Members CoqBelliqueux Posted April 28, 2010 Members Share Posted April 28, 2010 I got the Godlyke Powerall instead of the 1-Spot. Might be the exact same thing, I'm not sure, but maybe worth considering also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Zappa74 Posted April 28, 2010 Members Share Posted April 28, 2010 Epiphone Masterbilt for the acoustic. All solid woods... great guitars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Slave2TheAudio Posted April 28, 2010 Members Share Posted April 28, 2010 Yamaha also makes a great acoustic for under 500. You should seriously check them out. I found one for 300$ that REALLY had me gassing. Carbs is spot on with the one spot. Good luck in Boston. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members PlinytheWelder Posted April 28, 2010 Members Share Posted April 28, 2010 I got the Godlyke Powerall instead of the 1-Spot. Might be the exact same thing, I'm not sure, but maybe worth considering also. I have a 1 Spot and it works fine. For the money that Yamaha is hard to beat, too.

Members Steadfastly Posted April 28, 2010 Members Share Posted April 28, 2010 I would try out one of the Godin makes, Seagull, S&P, Norman or Art & Lutherie. You can get one for around $400.00 and they are excellent guitars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jrockbridge Posted April 28, 2010 Members Share Posted April 28, 2010 I played a Seagull acoustic recently that was less than $500. It was fantastic! I was a little bit surprised at the quality considering the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mr. Eff Posted April 28, 2010 Members Share Posted April 28, 2010 Look at the Yamahas. Under 500 dollars, they give you the best bang for your buck. The guys in the acoustic forum rave about them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I gave up when the formula hit series 4 I think, without a noticeable plot to connect the incidents. I know it has to sometime but I got tired of waiting.2 - cool stuff as usual. A bit of tidying up in the mix and so on wouldn't hurt plus a bit less buzz in the solo. The ideas good but the lyric is a bit crowded. All fixable next time you do it ...which you should. Its worth doing again. 3 - No idea but good luck in Berklee - you will do well. Just don't listen to Ralph Onion.4 - not a clue. Nothing to say so say nothing.Good to see you around a bit again.
