Surprisingly good, actually. At least I was surprised when I went in there.

They have Jet City too, if ya don't know, look it up. Created by Mike Soldano, you can get a Jet City amp that sounds pretty much exactly like an Avenger for about 1/3 of the price. They also make single channel 20 watt amps, which are pretty gnarly.

edit: When I went in there to buy a patch chord, strap, some picks, the guitar selection seemed pretty poor, but yeah, they carry some cool amp brands that L&M doesn't

all I know about larson music is that they were my go-to bros when I wanted a new saxophone mouthpiece six years ago.

Someone has to. Don't let the 4 tom/marching snare set up die in BC.

and try and get clear toms and a huuuuuge bass drum.

Dude, I wholly recommend acrylic (clear) drums. I have a running joke (aka a method to annoy) with Ryan to get an acrylic kit to be like Bill Stevenson in Black Flag.
We recorded on Sunday and we used the acrylic Ludwig kit the studio had and it sounded AWESOME. Such a killer kick drum sound.

If you can find yourself a set of Ludwig Vistalite drums for cheap get them.

you recorded..cough cough....send me...cough cough

This conversation happened the other day regarding my impending project that should get finished before the end of 2010 (only 7 months in so far! hah...):






"Your 6x12, when finished... will decimate all."


Hey Andrew,

My Les Paul really needs new a refret and some love. I've been beating it hard for the past three years and it's definitely got some problems. I've been putting it off for so long because of finances. I'm okay at setups, and I have all of the tools I need to do almost everything on a guitar - but I just don't trust me signing myself up for a crash course on refretting a ~$4000 vintage guitar that happens to be mine, and my main player. I've got an Earvana nut that's been waiting to be installed for like two years now too. It should be a dream machine when done. Anyone in town you can really recommend to do me right?

there is this one dude in town that did some work on one of my guitars and was awesome. i just can't remember who he was. he was in some 70s cover band. anyone know who i'm talking about?

[SewnFlesh]

there is luthier in town by the name of David Pellow.. he has worked on my guitar before and i was very happy. Also i've heard people talk about Sonny Black.. he has a website and is a luthier as well. i'm sure either could handle a re-fret job.

guys keep in mind user destroy is a vancouverite addressing another vancouverite.... on a vancouver island board.... haha
