Vintage Gear Store Day with Guitarist, Dan Moses From The Dynotones
Dynotones’ guitarist, Dan Moses and I hit the streets this week to do some vintage guitar shop hopping. First we hit Eagle Rock and visited Future Sound and then we blasted over to Chinatown and hung out for awhile in Caveman Vintage Music. Our goal was not only to look for records and rare gear finds, but to test some of the custom cables we have been creating from SLUGS and see how they would work with some vintage gear. As we sat around making C.V.M our own personal sound studio, we got to talking about making Surf style music.

Making SLUG Cables On The Fly With John ‘Big Drag’ Saletra, Lords of Altamont
I got a chance to stop by Lords of Altamont’s studio and visit guitarist, John Saletra (aka, “Big Drag”) before they were heading back on tour and help him set up his board. John shared a few stories about their European tour and one in particular about the need for a cable on the fly right before a performance. It seems that a roadie had wrapped up the gig with a few cables hanging out of the case. Because of this, the plug on one of John’s 30’ guitar cords broke at the plug. “It’s a good thing that I had some SLUGs in my bag along with a roll of cable. I just cut a length of cord, put the connectors on, and I was ready to go!”

Pedal Board Layouts Where Do I Start?
Pedal Board Layouts Where Do I Start? Pedal and effects now have a frenzy of custom builders and garage crafters. New pedals are literally being introduced daily. This is quite fantastic because it adds a lot of options to sound scapes; however, if you are just starting to get a few pedals and are in the early phase of effects exploration, the choices can be overwhelming.
