Thoise photos aren't gettingt he scale of the place right in my head at all, I cant tell how big it is, I think its probably a lot bigger than the photos convey. Looks the absolute business though!

Fishbone, especially, sound like Thum basses, which is (to many people0 Warwick's defining instrument, a great big burpy sounding thing. I rather like that sound, but cannot get on with the instruments for a bunch of ergonomic reasons, they are ridiculously heavy, and the strings (particularly the G and D) are a short taxi ride off the body which means my index and middle fingers dig in too far for slapping/popping on them. Always disapointed me whenever I tried one as a result.

A PM is winging its way to you right now matey!

Now that I am very definitely intersted in! Do you happen to know exactly what model and make that device is?

No wonder drums sound so good in there.... You are very very lucky to have such a beautiful space to record in. It must be doing your head in not to have it all finished yet. Wont be long now!

Well we are starting to get there. Two out of three tracks are very very close - just a little tidying up to do, third track is proving (far) more elusive to nail, and there's a lot more to tidy up in it, but overall I'm pretty pleased with the results so far...

Dayum she soooo purdy.....

That ceiling really is the biggest diffuser I've ever seen compared to overall room size - equivalent to two or three of the walls being diffusers I'd have thought.. A quite brilliant idea, and in all probability entirely bonkers! Does that room 'feel' even bigger than it actually is?

Thats pretty darned cool. Especially like the way the b-line takes a back seat through the sax solo - busiest 'understated' bass part I think I've ever heard, ace !

That rig is going to knock down walls, and sound lovely doing it. Look forward to the slightly scared yet glowing review Enjoy it!

Lots then - tip top!

Great gig, [b]made all the better by having Hiromi on piano[/b] ! I'd love to see him play one of his his Alembics mind .... [/quote] I can certainly see how that would brighten up your day.....

Clothes can live in a bag though, an become more basstraping

Fill it with rw30 and call it a basstrap mate - simples!

Sucks to be you (not )

You is just being dirrrrty now.....

Its a battle. But remaining calm even when tackling tricky pieces is a hiuge part of maintaining a good groove IMO. If you get tense in your jaw (I gurn like a moron when I get too far into it) you are likely to also be getting tense in your forea\rms and hands, and that definitely will affect how you play,m and therefore how you sound. The more tense you are the slower your maximum bpm at any given groove tends to be as well. Practise slowly, bring the tempo up a couple of bpm at a time from well below where you normally play a line, and really concentrate on remaining calm, and not plucking the strings too hard as well.

The Hartke LH500 is a very nice amp for the really rather small outlay, but Plux's is a tad on the harsh side (too brite) and they can be a tad noisey. It may be that swapping the tube out would calm that down a bit - anyone here tried swapping out an LH500 tube to mellow it out a little?

Nope, you need to head into the scary world of hardcore mastering amp solutions for the cleanest of amps:- [url="http://www.hexateq.com/studio700.html"]Hexateq Studio 700[/url] a 700w into 4Ohm monobloc amp. Look very spiffy driving a rather ace selection of monitors they do:- Nifty bit if engineering in that casework:-

Nice one! Distinct lack of logo in those doors though How much do they weigh then???

Hope you like it

Thats really nice, thanks!
