All Activity

I used my new Player series Precision once or twice but actually preferred the sound of my old Squier Standard over it until I took the horrid farty mex pups out and put in some Custom Shop '62's. I'm not too fussed now about getting mojo dings on it as it sounds so bloody gorgeous and makes me feel good as I know the band will sound good too.

Pulp were excellent. Jarvis is a great frontman.

As to alternate takes, also the Guitar Hero III version of "Cult of Personality" is different than the album version.

The French Connection?

'A' Bomb In Sesame Street — The Jam

I’ve been away this weekend so going to hopefully catch some of the action on catchup.

I had to read this twice. Don't use Instrument leads for your speakers or Speaker leads for your guitar. They are not interchangeable, you can't use them for 'double duty'. AND if your speakers are powered, don't use speaker leads between your mixer and the speakers. Use 2 core twisted sheilded pair with XLR or TRS jacks.

St Elmos Fire - John Marr

I cheekily put out a press release for our next gig. On friday a mate had two people tell him they'd read a good band was on next week

I read that as 'Stormy'...

I can't work out if you're being serious or not. 😆 Just in case you are: Kids, don't do this!

The bass in the vid is the Hohner B2A. I have one. It's active. I also have a five string Steinberger Spirit. It's passive. The Hohner is a much better quality instrument. Mine is strung with piano wound (exposed core at the saddles) rounds. It zings. A proper slap monster.

Surprised there's been no mention of the Boss WL-50, they're the best wireless adapter on the market IMO. As well as the usual advantages of freedom of movement and no coil whine/hum, they've got: a lovely chonky wireless adapter that plugs into your axe with a satisfying thunk, holds 8-12 hours charge and has a green-amber-red indicator to let you know how much charge it has left a standard Boss pedal-sized receiver / charging dock that sits nicely at the beginning of your pedal chain, runs on batteries as a backup, has a 9V out socket as well as a 6.35mm input jack just in case, and has three latency settings for emulating different cable lengths (no idea why tho lol). incredibly low latency latency of 2.3ms as standard, I believe even the most finely attuned human ear can't detect latency under 10ms 14 distinct onboard channels so despite only running at 2.4GHz even if there's a fair bit of contention at that frequency you're unlikely to collide with other signals up to 65 feet line of sight The only potential downside is if you like to store the adapter in the charging dock between sets and you keep your pedalboard unplugged, you need to remember to not fully insert the adapter otherwise it thinks it's in use and drains the battery. Boss maybe missed a trick there by not having a footswitch on the charging unit to toggle between charging modes.

After getting my Competition Burgundy Vintera II back from the workshop on Friday (it was suffering from a lot of hum and turned out to have an earth wire missing from factory), I suddenly found this morning that I have a 'Tale of Two Mustangs' on show.

@Andyjr1515 Don't be shy... post a link to your web site. The finished articles are great... but it's the work and attention to detail that amazes me.

Agreed @eude - I prefer @stevie’s designs! I have a feeling the TE Elf 1x10 will have to truncate the top and bottom end a fair bit, focusing on mid range efficiency. And I did briefly own a BF One10 (non tweeter) but found it a bit too coloured for my taste. And not enough ‘ping’ without a tweeter. Also the low end was tighter than I wanted…but they are very power efficient cabs… The Goodwood is massive by comparison to the others. So would have much bigger low end. And the compression driver is excellent. I’m looking at a novel solution for busking power. https://www.amazon.co.uk/ALLPOWERS-Portable-41600mAh-Generator-Emergency/dp/B09M3S5H9M?th=1&psc=1

I - and I hope the majority of people here - agree with that, but unfortunately this sort of discussion will get the thread locked. And remember, you'll never reason a person out of a position they did not reason themselves into. Anyway - moving away from politically sensitive issues*, I don't pay the BBC Compulsory Subscription, but am looking forward to hearing how dear old Rod the Sod endured a hail of p!ss bottles for the duration of his set. *Oops.

It was certainly an interesting veneer! This is how the final thing came out:
