Will follow if I can find the ones I took to send to Marshall

I tend to record guitars clean but listening to the modded sound from Amplitube. I then have the original if I want to change a patch, but often render a version into the mix to save resources. Mind you the tat that leaves on the HDD and finding the bit I want to rework can sometimes be a trial - probably why I generally don't end up going back to change the render

Still have an antique version at home (though it is a bit of a Triggers Broom having had to be requilt a couple of years back and is being used by #2 son for [size=1]guitar[/size]). Marshall didn't recognise the SerNo, or said it was pre their records and whilst it was i for repair someone very knowledgeable about Marshall's apparently took a look and put a very early date on it. But it is in poor external nick and as I say has been rebuilt, so.... A cracking amp that served me very well over the years but weighs a frickin' ton. It was bought in the 70's & secondhand then. Bearing in mind current prices, even for its condition & rebuild, what I paid for it then would make you weep

[quote name='Mornats' timestamp='1352827266' post='1868034'] I should have said that I don't mix on my Tannoys, I've got a pair of M-Audio BX5a speakers too. They lack low end output being little 5 inchers so it's hard to get it right. [/quote]Luxury I find myself recording / mixing on headphones in one room then bouncing it around rooms & cars on memory sticks to try to get it about right. Phones I often end up with not enough bass. Wharfdales in another room tend to make me compensate the other way, etc, etc. I have [i]almost[/i] got the hang of it but it's still a pain Tend to work with 'phones to not annoy the rest of the house and while they were mid priced and are OK I could probably do with looking for a set wth a flatter response. One day.....

Got to listen to a load of the tracks up so far last night before the weekend finally caught up with me & I hit the sack. Some interesting stuff coming in

[quote name='Matt P' timestamp='1352716872' post='1866365'] Does anyone know if Howard has managed to reclaim his workshop from the builders? having just sold a bass i'm yearning to get my jazz up and running, i've got his number but don't want to disturb him if he's trying to get the backlog cleared. Matt [/quote]Ditto re getting the "Lynott" back together. Hopefully soon

A couple of the bands I work with do a number of the same songs, but for a variety of reasons in different keys. One is my main lot and the other a dep. It can be a bit of a nightmare particularly if I have been playing regularly with one while on a layoff from the other as the muscle memory sometimes kicks to leave me in temporary flounder mode but it's all good experience. The dep lot to "[i]Living On A Prayer[/i]"in C#. It's a bit high for the vocalist/guitarist/leader and I did once say to him "[i]Why did you pick C# not B which would seem easier all round[/i]" (certainly for me!!) ? His reply because I like to play stuff without looking at the guitar neck and C# works better for me Hey ho. His call, not my band.

Thanks.chaps.

Right then. Heres my attempt. Not entirely happy with it, but bored listening to #2 son's excuses for not adding a bit of guitar to the second bit so went with some old bolloxs I eventually managed [url="http://soundcloud.com/aka_walman/bc-comp-nov12-run-scoob"]Run Scoob or Jim'll FixYa[/url] And under 3 mins as well

[quote name='bluejay' timestamp='1352204502' post='1859968'] Bump to remind that the Early Bird expiry date is fast approaching. I've got a ticket for the Saturday, and am still tempted to get one for the Sunday. Anyone else already got tix? [/quote]Ooo thanks for that. I must get this sorted (for Sunday) tonight!!

Well it would be rude not now wouldn't it. Entry alsmost ready despite the clunky link between two bits of it.

[quote name='BluRay' timestamp='1352036376' post='1857979'] Basically I'm gassing for a P bass and a bit confused by all the fender permutations. I won't be able to try before I buy - so any advice is appreciated. [/quote]You & me both. Tried a load yesterday & the one I like most seemed to be a 79 Bitsa (non Fender body, non standard pups but a good neck and sound). The newer ones tried, admittedly elsewhere & through a different amp included 2011 Standard & Special, and an FSR, which of the three new ones I preferred. Wish I'd managed the catch the one in FS that flew Saturday afternoon, but I think I really need to try before I buy rather than just dive in.

Hmmmm now have two bits that sort of work & a clunky link. Time to finish & bare all tomorrow I suppose

Right then. Think I have part 1 sorted weighing in at a derivative minute. Sadly currently have B'all for part 2

Good stuff The "Lynott" will live
