[quote name='BigRedX' post='185181' date='Apr 25 2008, 11:21 AM']You can get a black one (which is the more desirable colour IMO) for around [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/epiphone_jack_casady_eb.htm"]£450 new from Thomann[/url].[/quote] OH. MY. GOD. and my girlfren said she wanted to buy me something musical for my birthday

[quote name='Final Loan' post='185148' date='Apr 25 2008, 10:34 AM']Yeah, I've seen. But he originally put a buy it now of £400 and this time he said he wanted £500 to end the auction early. You can buy 'em brand new for £400![/quote] can you ??? where ??? i've got a starfire, but i'd be interested in a cassidy for that price...spesh if it were in black !!! who knows...i might even sell my starfire then...

i met up with BBN to try and then buy his 50W laney linebacker. lovely guy, amp was just what i needed. if you ever fancy buying something from him, have no hesistation - he's a gent.

just bought Doc's kent armstrong pickup. super-fast delivery, and a proper gent to deal with. he even tossed in a switch for the coil-switching !! many thanks

i miss my westone... but i'll be able to play it next week, cos i sold it to my buddy in preston !

a band i was in years ago played metroland at the metrocentre once. that was weird...massive PA, kids on fun rides...and a bunch of us crusties playing...

ok - just an update on the faulty steel leather. the nice people at creative tools have tested my steel leather and have agreed to replace it as it [i]was[/i] passing current through to the output, so they're going to replace it. i also spoke to them about my micro q-tron which the steel leather damaged and ehx have said they'll replace that as well. BUT...here's the rub. EHX say that that steel leather can't be run off the same power supply as other pedals...it needs its own psu or has to be run off batteries. [i]WTF ?[/i] nowhere in the instructions does it say this, and i'm going to be contacting ehx to tell them i think if that's the case then they should say so explicitly in the instructions. so, if you're planning on getting a steel leather, bear this in mind.

[quote name='BassManKev' post='183161' date='Apr 22 2008, 08:25 PM']well i think im in the market for a nice distortion now, since the seller of a dha vt5 i was plannin on buyin has messed me around abit and pulled out for the second time other than dha, what valve distortion are there out there?[/quote] aria td-1 platinum drive ? mine's for sale...

anyone every used an ashbory for metal ?

my pedalboard and the side pockets in my gig bag are enough for me.

a friend showed me how to play 12-bar blues and the bassline to 'a forest' by the the cure and then i just learned stuff from records

just as an update - looks like the band with the guitard will be carrying on for a while...or at least until i get sick of his attitude...

[quote name='BassManKev' post='181483' date='Apr 21 2008, 12:45 AM']true, i dunno i guess it just annoys me how much flac the pedal gets sometimes[/quote] why ? if it gets a sound you like then great. if not...you live and learn.

[quote name='BassManKev' post='181478' date='Apr 21 2008, 12:26 AM']if you use the odb-3 PROPERLY, it is immensly better than a double muff will ever be you know the odb-3 has a high freq and gain knob right?? have them set correctly and there will be none of the fizzyness everyone seems to jump on the bandwagon about[/quote] horses for courses bmv...

[quote name='jono b' post='181468' date='Apr 21 2008, 12:02 AM']I got rid of my ODB-3 because I'm another who reckons it was too fizzy, but I have to admit I'm mighty tempted by the Double Muff, mainly because of the 'True Bypass' that the ODB didn't have. I've been borrowing a Danelectro Wasabi distortion which is pretty good, and has the db boost, but when it's not in use it really colours the clean sound [/quote] i really liked my double muff, sadly it's broken...

well, at least you'd never be short of a bottle opener

silly. silly and fugly (slight return)

hmm...good question ! from my current effects, it'd be my digitech bad monkey overdrive
