    [quote name='Dash' timestamp='1360537638' post='1972121'] Alright folks... as someone who hasn't listened to much of the Beatles over the years, where should I start? [/quote] I'd listen in album order but perhaps skip the early stuff - start at Rubber Soul, which is when they were really started perfecting their craft at making albums. Then perhaps Revolver, Sgt Peppers and Abbey Road. I'd leave the White album until later, I found it to be far less accessible (it's a double album with about a single album's worth of great tracks, IMO)

    I often feel the same way about Jaco's sound - it's all fairly close to the edge of taste, really! Saying that, Weather Report are still something of a guilty pleasure. Much like Yes. And Genesis.

    Expression is when one note can make you cry/laugh/have a nervous breakdown.

    That really was a good post.

    Obvious troll is obvious.

    Avon grabber copy. Horrible fretwork, high action, weighed a ton, sounded dull. Cost me £20 in a car boot, sold it for a £5 loss a decade later.

    I am slightly in love with Mel (Kristen Schaal). So cute. Murry, Brett and Jermaine's mastery of deadpan is absolutely wonderous also.

    Traded my AC30 for Martin's Peavey Classic 30 earlier today - smooth transaction and Martin is a very pleasant chap to do business with - deal with confidence.

    Some Funkadelic? If you like a bit of rock with your funk. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R2nqZCSnN1U

    Trade agreed pending the usual

    Something like the ht studio 20 would probably fit my needs well. What ya got?

    Pics: The little luggage cart strapped to it is not included and can be removed without any trace very easily. As you can see it's generally in good condition bar the usual dings and scrapes in the tolex you'd expect of a gigging amp.

    [quote name='Honest Guy' timestamp='1358413197' post='1938570'] Hi mate. Could you PM me the cash price please?? [/quote] It'd be the same as the trade value, £400. I'm looking to trade first and formost though I'll consider selling in a week or two if I cant find a good swap for it. Pics later!

    I'm looking to slightly downsize my guitar setup, as the weight of my admittedly gorgeous sounding AC30 is starting to do my back in slightly. I've just moved into a top floor flat too, which doesnt help matters. As such I'm interested in trading it for an AC15C1 or an alternative portable setup (Tiny Terror and cab, Cornford Harlequin, Peavey Classic 30, Blackstar HT something or other, you get the gist). Trade value I would put at £400 (amp is a bit tatty cosmetically but in good working order. Revalved last year) Open to offers, would also consider a cash sale in a few weeks if there are no trades offered.

    Warmoth parts are probably better quality than American Fender parts, IME. Not cheap but top notch stuff.

    Make Do and Mend

    Wil posted a topic in Recording

    Here's a new song I made, thought I may as well post it here in case anyone fancies a listen. First thing I've written in several months, found it to be fairly cathartic. Drums are from ableton, everything else is me. https://soundcloud.com/wil-miles/make-do-and-mend

    [quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1355488051' post='1899021'] IMO Mumford and Sons are hardly any more new or original than Jake Bugg, and the others have all been around for at least 20 or so years. [/quote] I have to agree! I quite enjoyed this review of their latest, though, from Melody Maker's Mr Agreeable: [url="http://thequietus.com/articles/10744-mumford-sons-babel-review-mr-agreeable"]http://thequietus.com/articles/10744-mumford-sons-babel-review-mr-agreeable[/url]

    [quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1355485739' post='1898970'] Just because a band uses a guitar doesn't automatically make them any better or worse than any band that doesn't. It's all down to whether or not you like the music. [/quote] This is of course very true, but considering a lot of us peddle in largely guitar based stuff, and popular music has been more and more synth/sample driven, it makes me feel a little less like a dinosaur to see young people listening to people playing old fashioned planks of wood with strings on

    I'm just happy that the mainstream is turning back towards guitar centric music to some degree, even if he is a sanitised package based on numerous other artists that went before. Makes it more likely that young people will give other guitar bands a go, and that's a good thing.

    If you want to get a pick sound, why not take this as a good oppurtunity to expand your skills and work on your pick technique? Being able to play both ways is very beneficial.

    Weak album in general I thought, I quite liked Definately Maybe and even enjoyed Be Here Now, at the time. The Masterplan (b sides) record had better tracks than WTSMG IMO.
  23. Wil
    I hate every second until we get up on stage and start playing. Anxiety!
  24. Wil
    Yeah, I agree with that approach. I've always felt that the the music should be it's own reward first and foremost, and if other people like it enough to buy it, then great.

    [quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1354714936' post='1889464'] The reviews of RockinRollin' VampireMan EP were all either massively positive or horribly negative with AFAIK nothing in between. TBH that's good good thing as it means the music has struck a nerve be it good or bad. From my PoV there's nothing worse than being considered average. However if you can't take criticism - either constructive or otherwise - then maybe this isn't for you... [/quote] I think we're our own worst critics at the moment, so it'll be nice to have someone else do it for a change
