The Petra Zone

Thanks Curt- yes I am hoping to start this in the near future. May do it on a cheap guitar for learning purposes first- possibly even a kit to get an idea. Yeah, for me I have settled on the LP- I like the Strat, but recently fell in love with a 98 Les Paul that I can’t put down. I like the heavy t...

I am a young amateur guitarist who is still learning. Only played a few years. Don't really play in a band although I do make music with a few friends. I still play a cheap beginner's guitar; the Yamaha Pacifica 112. I never tried a Yamaha Pacifica 112 but I have heard that they are quite good guit...

Thanks Curt! Again, very helpful. I was thinking the same thing- maybe finding a project LP style and work from there. You have any idea how the black dye is used to get that look? Thank you. I have no idea how he got that look. My best guess would be to write Bob an e-mail and ask. I just don't kn...

Curt, thanks man- very helpful. I would be interested in the specs. If you can provide that would be great! Thank you.

Listened to the album again, and the two songs I really don't care for are "Time Keeps Rolling" and "Fake News". I like every other song on the album.

I don't like "Fake News" either. It is very hard to hear it without associating it with messages that are even more fake than fake news.

Sheesh! I didn't know everyone disliked the Elefantes so much. Heck Petra sounded better then than their newer stuff even from late 90s. I think they had Petra at their best, and I don't think anything was wasted and if it sounded different it wouldn't be "Petra" to many of you including myself, ad...

I found out from Bob he is no longer making the Jekyll and Hyde guitar, I know this is an old thread, but anyone interested in selling one? The original asking price when you bought them from Bob was $1900 with a hard shell case. Though that is quite a lot of money I feel quite sure it would be wor...

Having a civilized conversation does not involve calling people "jerk"... It does if the person is acting like a jerk. Seriously, curt, get over yourself. In a civilized conversation you need to give reasons for your statements. Going for name calling without providing reasons is not civilized conv...

I'm sorry but this is getting funny guys.

No need to feel sorry.

I'm not a big fan of the Elefante Bro.'s style of production, but to say that it "no longer sounded like real music" is a big stretch. Which is why I never said so. Here is what I said: "The Elefantes loved their studio "magic" to the extent that the music no longer sounded like real music at times...

If he still made these, I would be interested: http://www.houseofbob.com/worshiper.html Not that I play worship music. I would just imagine given Bob's description that it would fit my style of playing very well. Bob made quite many stratocaster style guitars over the years. It seems the guitars he ...

I don't think Bob ever made a large quantity of guitars, so any of his custom builds are likely to be very rare, very hard to find, and very expensive. On his homepage you can still buy a new guitar made by Bob: http://bobhartmanguitars.com/ If it is a good quality guitar the price is actually ok, ...

Sure, they are fantastic musicians. But, the live clips, especially the Farm Aid one, sound much more like Wake Up Call then the Elefante productions.

Exactly. And if the recordings were of a better audio quality the difference would be even more obvious.
