How was your open mic or jam night last night?
tauzero replied to tauzero's topic in General Discussion
Just to follow on from those events, there's a report today that the motorcyclist died after a collision with a tractor. On a happier note, Mrs Zero accompanied me to the open mic tonight. I didn't take a guitar, as one of the hosts played guitar for us on some songs we'd prearranged. Very enjoyable evening, kept me on my toes as there were three songs I didn't know - cue rapid exploration of Ultimate-Guitar.com to find the chords and squinting at my phone to follow them. And I jumped up to play "Nights in white satin" with one performer, and then discovered that he was tuned a semitone down, always a recipe for disaster. -

What are your irrational prejudices? I have some bonkers ones...

I've got a D-Tuner on the B string of my Sei 6-string (so maybe it should be an A-Tuner). Can I join your groove, swagger, and oikish malevolence club? -
Stranglers keyboard on the Repair Shop tonight

Lovely piece of work. I assume that either the reeds have locators so they are perfectly placed, or they didn't want to show the 200 hours of tuning them all up. Very ingenious cutter to make the rubbers, that must have been quite a task though to make 61 of them. -
The SVP won't break up as it's not designed to. The SVP PRO will add valve drive by pushing a 12AU7 into overdrive, but it's not just diode clipping. 10001c1_.pdf Page 2 shows the arrangement and use of the 5 preamp tubes - V4 is the 12AU7 responsible for the 'drive' circuit. It can sound a bit 'fizzy' when running direct to a desk, but through a power amp and an 8x10 it's glorious.

Tonight I suggested we repeat the delicate ballad with harmonies that shares our band name as a more energetic encore. I demonstrated what it could be like by activating my octaver, brassmaster and mojo mojo simultaneously. Boy I got some swagger, enough to make your average death metal fan cry. I convinced the band it was a good idea.

Ordered mine before that. Last email I had mid January said: They were hoping for the end of the month. As I’m also local, was going to collect, but said I was going to be away early Feb maybe they were a bit more relaxed on mine.

no, these are PRES. No speakers involved. They distort into a hifi, or straight into the computer, tape deck or whatever. It's very possible to get breakup from preamp tubes. You just cascade the gain stages to overload the valves. It's how nearly all modern guitar amps work - the ones with a gain and master control. So you can distort at low volumes, LONG before any speaker distortion might come in. Please don't tell me I don't know what I'm talking about. I do. Anyone tried the Peavey TB Raxx? Fender TBP-1 has a specific tube overdrive section but i can't find one anywhere.

Yes on both scores, but fortunately I was able to pick this one up pre-owned on here. Used it tonight in rehearsal and the low D is just monstrous. Oh and the tuning stability is spot on going both ways. Funnily enough its also had a positive impact on the low E string which appears to be speaking much clearer now 🤷♂️

The Strangler's keyboard. Old 'n Brown... And, at 12'10" a far better Golden Brown reference. -
***Price reduced*** A rare premium Ibanez sound gear 6 string bass guitar. Made in Indonesia. If you are looking at this, you know how good they are! this one comes with the original hardcase, a strap and the manual. I tried to take enough photos to show some bumps but the neck is perfect and playability is superb. Strung with flatwounds so no need to ever change them! Reason for selling is only because 4 strings is more than enough for me and I am doing a clear out! Collection only! No trades unfortunately...
