  1. Past hour
  2. I do a bit of BV in my bands and I've experimented with some of these pedals. They are really, really useful! I really liked the Boss VE-20 for some of its effects: harmoniser, megaphone effect, reverb... It did the lot. The problem for me came when the soundman just doesn't want to know: "woah woah woah it sounds like you've already got reverb and compression on your mic, No no no can't do that". I know, most musos would say the sound guy should just deal with what they're given, but I guess he had been bitten far too many times by weird kit turning up and misbehaving on stage. It made me really reticent to keep using it live, even though it added a great effect for certain songs and generally gave me more confidence in my BV. So, if you go down this route of vocal effects pedals be prepared to tweak it so you can remove certain effects and give the sound guy the signal they want to make you sound good, or just bypass it and accept there isn't time or willingness on the part of the sound guy. If you are the sound guy, however, make sure you know the kit.
  3. The next song to learn is Place Your Hands by Reef. I sat down for 30mins the other day, mainly listening to it. Bass part is quite interesting I'd say... considering I've got more than enough root only songs in our set. It's not a song I've ever liked, mainly due the vocal. I'm sure it'll sound OK when someone else sings it 🙂
  4. freewheel burning - judas priest
  5. Best compressor there is at a great price.
  6. I’ve always wondered if the mass difference between installing strings with lots of winds around the posts vs the minimum woild be enough mass at the end of the neck to move the resonant freq enough. and or truss rod tweaks with different tension strings
  7. Any of these Tiger Ties would be better... https://www.zazzle.co.uk/tiger+ties?srsltid=AfmBOoomOydy8onh4xFMrgugxGzP6l7Lh-QQmeYKL0GyIwJmpcz5-VLi&trchd=true
  8. That’s what happens when the 2,000W PMP kicks in 🤣
  9. Fractured Persona. Went to pub after. Fluked a win at pool against guitarist. Thrashed by drummer.
  10. Ditto above an underrated flexible head
  11. There def 12 now
  12. Today
  13. Travellin' Band - CCR
  14. Leaving On A Jet Plane - Peter, Paul & Mary
  15. Thank you - I can't find a Bossa bass anywhere in the UK. I have another Bossa guitar that was Brian Monroney's (Tom Jones etc) and it's my #1 💛
  16. Price reduced Lovely Amp. Blackstars up to date take on the Roland Jazz Chorus Stereo amplifier with added Modelling and effects. its a 100 watt 2 x10 combo and certainly loud enough for gigs. Weighs about the same as my old 50 watt Boss Katana 1x12 It works from the front panel but deep dives magnificently when you add the Free Blackstar Architect ( previousy insider) Mac/PC library editor. Preset download from the Blackstar community gives you access to a gazillion different sounds too if you’re about that. Works totally fine. It’s had a baby-ed home studio existence since birth (2017) and certainly never gigged. My guitar playing at home in the studio has taken me on a different journey ( one that involves Open Source NAM Computer Modelling and headphones ) having a great stage amplifier like this simply makes no sense any more. If you want to part ex against something musically related we could certainly have a conversation about that though I’d certainly not ( initially ) be looking to spend any money from my side unless it’s something mind boggling-ly special. there’s no footsitch but tgeee. An be obtained if that is a requirement

  17. My XL2 was $A3600 in late 86. Just looked up todays $ on the RBA website - $A12000.
  18. Moog MF Delay is my favourite .. but not cheap .. also got Seymour Duncan Vapour Trail which is also nice, it’s got interesting side feature that allows effects / vol pedal adding to delay trails if wanted .. these two both analogue, also have a cheap digital delay which is fine (sonicake) .. digital generally more clarity but I prefer the darker analogue repeats which can act almost like a ‘ducking’ delay ..
  19. Anything made by Mr Shuker is always of superb quality and craftsmanship. Someone will be very happy with this at a great price too!
  20. I haven't had my CD / vinyl back yet, so I can't confirm the format of the CD. As you upload .wav files for your tracks it will tell you how you are doing for space on each side of the vinyl album. I recall mine having a minute or so plus some seconds left on each side. Guidance: https://elasticstage.zendesk.com/hc/en-gb/articles/29846764606097-My-album-is-slightly-longer-than-your-23-minutes-limit-per-side-Is-there-anything-you-can-do You can have different running orders on vinyl and CD. You click and drag in a menu whenyou've finished uploading. My CD has two bonus tracks. You need to use their templates (and Adobe Illustrator) or upload separate .jpgs for the front and rear covers and the vinyl inner sleeve (which equates to the gatefold on the CD. You do get a preview of the final artwork. Don't put any text near the egdes. Not my video:
  21. Immaculate condition Flow 8. Original packaging, psu etc. Protective film intact, home use only. Bought 3 months ago but now surplus to requirements. Price includes UK, collection welcome.
  22. Taken from a 2011 Gibson Les Paul Standard - I wanted the “kidney bean” shaped ones. They’re lovely and clean, all parts included. Packaged in the box I got the new ones in. Nice upgrade for an Epiphone or something of that ilk. Will ship in uk once funds have cleared, or collection in Salford is fine. i forgot to put my name on the pictures…its me…they came off the guitar I'm holding next to my face…
  23. Yesterday
  24. Possible extra trade option of a black and Maple P bass. Ideally Squier or Mex with cash my way.
  25. Used to have a flashback .. long time ago. Wonder if there is anything better in terms of clarity, tracking and friendly to low end Which won't cost a fortune.
