Having read every single word in this thread, I am more convinced than ever that I have not missed a goddamn thing by not acquiring a taste for hip hop.

You all are totally fucking welcome to this retard babble. Enjoy it in whatever sneering, you're-making-me-embarrassed-for-you way you can.

so ...

I like, post to message boards when I'm drunk and stuff.

I know, pretty embarassing.

OK.. so I was going to some Halloween party and taking shots of whiskey from a friends flask, a few beers. Got drunk. Smoked some weed. Got sick. We all crowded into a cab to go home. I puked on the floor of ...

In any case, my vote goes to Codeine, who were one of the best bands ever.

Seconded. This was the one I was gonna mention. I kept waiting for something after The White Birch, but then my general depression ebbed and Codeine was no longer the soundtrack to my life. Ha!

I got rid of their CDs ...

Wow, Scott - now I'm pretty curious about why your company was simulating aircraft noise - soundproofing?

The JBL EONs were mentioned frequently by people using them for their electronic drums. Obviously, lots of transients must be OK with these. Although I want great frequency response ...

He's not looking for an amp for electric guitar or electric bass. He's looking for an amp with good bass response . For the instruments he's listed, a small PA would be the best option.

THe Mackie looks like along the lines of what I'm looking for.. with the frequeny range going down to 45 Hz.

Imagine an 808 kick drum.. that's the type of low end response I need (what's that, around 40 Hz or so?). High end response going up to the threshold of audibility - my analog synth ...

Another vote here for a used Toyota.

If you're gonna get something for a grand it's been around the block a few times. Toyotas can make that block on no oil.

CRAP

just kidding.

Among his non-song stuff (which indie-rockers probably do consider CRAP) I like..

* Remove the Need - somewhat ambient tabletop guitar improv. droney

* the 2 discs with White Out - in a free jazz vein with this group who are comprised of an analog synth player and a ...

OK. So I need an amp - I'm considering a powered PA speaker or keyboard amp like a Barbetta. I need it to be able to reproduce transients and low end - good bass. The instruments I'd be running are an analog synth, acoustic guitar, violin, and a sampler used as a drum machine (not all at the same ...
