Agreed! But the mix has something to do with it as the difference between the UK and US mix shows. How to get that punch? Less compression and more highs?

Ok, so all you mixer/producer/engineer master minds out there... How do you get a kick to sound this good? (Besides having Cozy play it : )

This? I like it.

Same could be said for LZ... I'll try another...

Soooo many options here. Boston was a good one. I'll likely vote multiple times here...

... sprinkle in a bit of Nine Inch Nails...

I know it's nothing new, but I'm 100% convinced that Jolene was recorded at 15 IPS and then Dolly did the vocals at 30. The instruments sound much more genuine at the slowed down playback. I remember seeing Dolly on some TV show doing an Alvin and the Chipmunks style singing over a song being played back at double time. : ) So this is right in line with that. I also find it incredible that her voice is able to lock at double time. Amazing voice at any speed.

Great topic. I wish my answer was more cool like what's above... : / Mine was this. Lots of lame on this thing, but it did have some gems - Long Cool Woman and All the Young Dudes if I recall. In my defense, my brother talked me into it. I was 5 at the time...

Note you can use a stereo jack to replace a mono jack, just don't wire the ring connection (or wire it to ground) I actually prefer this because it makes the plug more stable. There are other advantages as well.

From what I've seen, what he had were likely $450 tickets...

... and is vegan and sells Amway on the weekends. (do they still exist?)

Got it off of eBay, if I recall. It was a standard model. I foolishly sold it as it had the modern (thinner) neck. At the time, I was getting hand cramps, so the thin-necked guitars all had to go. Figured out later the cramping was due to the statins that us old farts all seem to end up on. Taking a low dose of B12 once a week fixes that... The guitar was incredible. Very articulate. I put a pair of underwound Lollars into it that were perfect. I'm sure i put the originals back into it before selling. Edit to add - regarding the burst, in the late 90's, that seemed to be standard fade for a 59 burst. Very subtle, which I like a lot.

Not as much as scam, egg, sausage, and scam...

40 guitars? Rookie. Needs to step up his game.

I compare how much I've spent on guitars (which has been surprisingly small given the return on the ones I've sold) and it is *far* less than a speedboat, a vintage muscle car, or even the car I'm currently driving would cost new. Hell, my buddy has spent more on his snowmobiles than I have in guitars. These are all fair things to spend money on. If you earn a living, you should have some say in what the "living" part means.

This is all very intriguing, but to the OP, I have frankly never heard "reminder of things to come". Maybe I'm too old or it's a regional thing. "A sign of things to come" is what I've heard. Or occasionally, "A reflection of things to come", but never a reminder.
