No, Naked and Dimed isn't the title of some naughty movie. It's the name of the latest Psychedelic Mooj album. By "naked" we mean nothing came between guitar and amp (well, besides a cord). We didn't use one stomp box on anything. What you hear is what we got straight out of each amp. This book documents the project and is meant to go hand and hand with the album. Although you don't need to have the album to enjoy the book, it will allow you to "hear" what these amps and guitars sound like. The Naked and Dimed album can be streamed from any digital recording site (Spotify, iTunes, Amazon, etc.) The author will also gladly send you a CD if you prefer. In the old days, "dimed" meant lou--turned up to 10 loud. The hep-cats who came before us used a different expression because their amps went to 12. They called it "clockwising the chickenhead to the max." Since only four of the amps we used had chickenheads, we'll just stick with "dimed." In reality, only a few of the amps were actually recorded at full volume. I love playing my amps totally cranked. However, when we got in the studio and tweaked things to sound "best," many volume knobs ended up being closer to the point of breakup (6 to 8) than 10 or 12. I guess we should have called the album Naked and Nearly Clockwise Chickenheaded and Dimed, but then you'd have really been confused. This book is really about exploring the tones and textures of 15 vintage guitars and 14 vintage Fender amps. It contains hundreds of pictures and includes an extensive analysis of Fender amp values over the past 20 years.Quite simply, this is the best vintage guitar and amp book you'll ever read!
