Sorry... :-) [quote name='razze06' post='997340' date='Oct 22 2010, 05:44 PM']Damn i've got gizmo GAS now[/quote]

Cheers - I'll go and compare specs... Anyone got any experience of the H1? Mark [quote name='andyonbass' post='997315' date='Oct 22 2010, 05:23 PM']For about the same price as a used H2 you could get the new [url="http://www.soundslive.co.uk/product~name~Zoom-H1~ID~13779.asp"]Zoom H1[/url][/quote]

Cheers folks. Sounds like you've had pretty positive experiences overall.. So i'll keep my eye out for a second hand H2, H4N or DR1/DR100 Thanks again... Mark

Does anyone have experience with "Handheld" recorders like the Zoom H4N or Tascam DR1/DR100/DR07 ? As a standalone rehearsal recorder they would seem to be a great idea, assuming they work as advertised.. Thoughts/Opinions welcome ... Cheers Mark

Oh, and really quiet (electrically) as well... Makes such a difference when you plug in and it's quiet.. [quote name='markstuk' post='996107' date='Oct 21 2010, 04:25 PM']I have an Ibanez SR765 and am in the somewhat long winded process of exchanging a BTB470 for a BTB555... I've had Fender J's ("proper MIA ones") and Rickenbacker 4001's.. Prefer the SR to all of the them.... Wide range of tones, great neck. built really well (my SR is one of the last MIJ ones) - what's not to like except the the badge..? Mark[/quote]

USA made - one pre CBS the other post.. This was back in the days of the late 70's/early 80's...

It's going to be the VAT on the declared value (HMCE have access to price lists and can penalise you for making a stupid under-value declaration) plus the relevant duty charge (usually not very much for electronic goods).. They've got much much smarter over the past 2-3 years.... [quote name='Phil-osopher10' post='995459' date='Oct 20 2010, 11:43 PM']Hey, I was just wondering if anyone has had experiences with importing cabs from America? what are the custom charges etc..?[/quote]

My last experience with a Sound City 200 Watt Head was watching it blow up whilst our keyboard player was sitting on it .. This was 1979 though.. Laugh, I nearly stopped breathing :-) And there was this nice Punkette I met that night, but that, as they say, is a different story :-)

See what happens when you go and play all that fancy stuff? Although a drummer making that judgement call must be somewhat galling? :-) [quote name='charic' post='992361' date='Oct 18 2010, 04:06 PM']Turns out the drummer didn't like my basslines and instead of discussing it with the band decided to advertise for a bassist... Still going along tonight to discuss face to face (last practice I was experimenting and trying to write basslines aswell as being short of a guitarist) and hopefully re-install his faith in me. Fingers X'd... It has [u]NOT[/u] been a good day![/quote]

And count them, not one, but two at least, cables... [quote name='spinynorman' post='992370' date='Oct 18 2010, 04:10 PM']Yes, but you get a Razorlight book.[/quote]

Eminence Kappalite 3012HO's ? Light, Efficient, good power handling (400W RMS) and 6.2 mm Xmax... About £115 each including VAT from Blue Aran... I've bought stuff a few times from them.. Usually very quick...

Claudia, Do you have an example (say on youtube) that you could point us at to get some idea of what effect you're looking for? Cheers Mark

Absolutely true.. I'll probably pick up a Yamaha MM7 or MO7 to stack on top of the ES8 for Hammondy style stuff - will also give me some redundancy as well.. The fact it's not a GH keyboard is not so much of an issue in this use case.. I know there are other cheaper ways of doing this, but I like things simple :-) [quote name='Earbrass' post='992042' date='Oct 18 2010, 11:03 AM']I find a 76-note keyboard a good compromise - you very rarely miss the extra few notes, but the portability is considerably improved.[/quote]

No direct experience of the Technics P50 - it's very piano focused though... Some decent reviews on Harmony Central, some by folks who appear to know what they're talking about.. Appears to need EQ'ing for live work.. Equivalents would be the Yamaha P range (P90/P155), or the Roland RD300... There is a Yamaha CP33 on the bay at the moment for £450 which is slightly expensive, worth a £350-£400 offer direct if no-one bids on it.. Again important to know what sort of music you're playing... Cheers Mark [quote name='essexbasscat' post='990995' date='Oct 17 2010, 11:55 AM']Doh ! just looked it up and it's the Technics P50 ![/quote]

Did you mean the Roland EP-50... ? You can do better than that for £300 ... I prefer 88 note keyboards but be aware they don't fit across the back seat of most cars.... I move my Motif ES8 around in a road ready flightcase, the combination makes moving bass gear around seem easy :-) Mark [quote name='essexbasscat' post='990977' date='Oct 17 2010, 11:24 AM']Although slightly off topic, could you please recommend a good keyboard for stage work around £300 - odd region ? I've thought the Roland P50 was a good option, but I'll always listed to experience in these things cheers T[/quote]

How many keys? 88? 61? in between? More piano/organ oriented or synthy?

I'd like to play harmonica but like treble guitars I've never got my head around it... :-) [quote name='RhysP' post='990967' date='Oct 17 2010, 11:13 AM']No.[/quote]
