Gigging Basics – Back That Gear Up!!
May 28, 2009 by NAMM · Leave a Comment
All gigging musicians get lazy at times and try to get by with the least amount of gear possible on any given job. This mostly happens to players who gig a lot and move their own stuff. Folks who play one gig a year usually like to bring as much stuff as possible because setting up outside the house is a novelty to them. If you play out ten or more times a month and, like most of us, can’t afford a road crew quite yet, there will come a time when you are tempted to roll out to your gig with a very small pile of equipment to move.

History of B.C. Rich Guitars
It is said the person who birthed B.C. Rich axes and bass guitars founded the company in the early 1970s by Bernardo Chavez Rico. Currently, most B.C. Rich guitars are manufactured in Asia, however, luthiers of the company’s custom shop continue to build hand-made instruments. Hanser Music Group now manages the Southern California B.C. Rich custom shop. As of 2001, no members of the Rico family are involved in the production of any B.C. Rich guitars. The legendary B.C. RICH remain an icon in the rock and metal music industry.

Crate and Johnson Marquis Guitar Amplifiers
September 28, 2008 by NAMM · Leave a Comment
The ascension of digital modeling technology in amplifier design continues. The latest entries in the tone-cloning competition come from Crate and Johnson, who bring out the contest remarkably similar packages. Both the Crate DX-212 and the Johnson Marquis JM60 arrive in combo format, with easy to tweak knobs in addition to digital keypads, begging to be played live in the studio or taken out to gigs. Both amps serve up a popular selection of models (the Crate offers 16, the Johnson 18), nine effects plus reverb, and comparable wattage, with Crate delivering 100watts stereo and Johnson 120 watts stereo. It should be noted that Crate’s DX-212 comes in a 2×12 format, while the Johnson Marquis JM60 ships with a single 12-inch speaker putting out 60 watts mono. To cash in on the stereo sound and the extra 60 watts, the review model was hooked up to the company’s J112 satellite cabinet as an option only. When will the amp makers learn that you can’t play guitar and switch panel settings at the same time?
Stay tuned for the review of the Crate DX-212 and the Johnson Marquis JM60 REVIEW
