[quote name='Fraktal' post='252068' date='Jul 31 2008, 02:42 PM']Still, whats the point of buying a quad core, expensiver, hotter, powerhungry processor if your applications cant take advantage of 4 cores parallel processing?[/quote] i was kindof thinking the same thing...my dual-core machine isn't even stretched by what i do, and if you're running a 'lightweight' daw... i'll admit i'm no expert on these things, but i'd say have a think if you really need the processing power of a quad-core, given then noise and power consumption considerations.

i've always used the harmonic and fretted note at the 12th fret. mind you, i never do it by ear, i always use a tuner.

my musicman sabre weights in at a little under a stone. it's ok, but i have got a [i]very[/i] wide strap

my band played to kevin shields last night

[quote name='warwickhunt' post='250663' date='Jul 29 2008, 06:06 PM']Unfortunately Geordies only come in one size... large [/quote] not so ! my better half is 5' 1" !

i've got a phonic mu502 that i really like...

[quote name='BigRedX' post='251007' date='Jul 30 2008, 08:08 AM']The E and G strings look awfully close to the edge of the neck, but at £9.99 it's probably worth buying for the hardware alone.[/quote] plus the one... look-wise i quite like it, and that's not a wal pickup is it ?

or record someone playing whatever phrase you're using into the boss, and then play the output of that into the rig.

you could try [url="http://www.redonionsolutions.co.uk/"]red onion[/url]...lovely people and excellent units

unless you're in some kind of improv band, you should be able to play the tunes without the vocals anyway.

very impressive ! i can't stand the super-bright leds though...i'm too much of a cave-dweller for the bright lights

i'll come, if you can promise some mini-micro geordies will be there !

[quote name='thumbo' post='250594' date='Jul 29 2008, 05:13 PM']+1 very interested in this. Played my bass through Joe meek gear before and have been impressed.[/quote] plus the one. i occasionally use my joe meek mic preamp with my power amp...the compression's lovely.

looks like a tidy bit of work...top stuff !

[quote name='umph' post='249453' date='Jul 28 2008, 11:06 AM']you try changing the input and output caps to? maybe change some of the clipping caps to or the diodes for more tubelike grit oh the possibilitys ;<[/quote] no i didn't, i'm quite happy with the sound - it's not my main distortion pedal...i use it live for a stupidly fuzzy/feedbacky tone, which it does fine with the stock components. i just wanted ot make it a bit more robust.

anyone know anything about these ? i've seen the video that's around from namm, but i've not been able to find much else out anyone care to share any info

[quote name='Sarah5string' post='249211' date='Jul 27 2008, 10:54 PM']Thanks guys.. knew I could rely on you.. any tips for the band practices leading up to the gig?[/quote] practice the set you're going to play, in the way you intend to play it is what i'd say... if you usually face inward in a circle when you practise, set up the room as if you're facing an audience...it's surprising how much you take cues from other band members without realising it... make sure all your stuff works too...now might be the time to replace that crackly lead or duff pot.

be nice to the other bands, the sound engineer and the venue staff...everyone in fact. being a good live band is one thing, being a good live band who are pleasant to deal with is even better. oh, and have fun !

welcome to the muthalode !

what is it ? a squigglesquiggle 100 ?
