rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author martet01 - This is a review of the Super Bass Station rack, a newer rackmount version of the original Bass Station. In the days of virtual modeling synthesizers this is an analogue beast using subtractive synthesis to produce the warmth and roughness that only...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author martet01 - Personally I was amused by the commercial. It brought back fond memories of summer afternoons spent in my best friend Ira's garage with a couple of target pistols and a collection of G.I. Joe and Playmobile paraphenalia. Don't get me wrong. I loved...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author martet01 - I originally passed this up when it hit the theatres thinking it was either another forest gump goes to vietnam or a senseless gorefest. I recently bought the DVD and was quite surprised to find it was neither. What I enjoy most about this movie is...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author martet01 - From the outside, Jackson Hole (on 3rd and 35th) looks like just another bar. A quick glance at the menu will quickly tell you otherwise. The place specializes in burgers and they have about twenty of them on the menu with almost every topping...
