  1. Ho thanks for reply is not pro version so unfortunately cannot install in do legacy mode - have also checked the sample rate mismatch issue and that doesn't cure the problem either Another strange side effect is that it is somehow eating int the video ram? When a sound app has been playing a while and breaks up or locks up completely, then hitting the X to close it down does close it but leaves its ghost behind on the screen ( tha machine has a dedicated vid card with 1gb ram and is not using the motherboard vid processing so not sure why there should be conflict there) Previously had this same card in a less powerful machine but running fully patched up XP and it ran sweet as anything
  2. Zappa And Mick Ronson when Bowie was fortunate enough to have him in the band
  3. Tom Robinson's Sector 27 at Hull Uni Student Union 1980 with Jo Burt on fretless - way better than anything from TRB oh and Steve Hillage Band at Hammy O on the Open tour - blinding hot band and how could i forget ... i knew they be good but they were fanf***ingtastic... Be Bop Deluxe on the Drastic Plastic Tour at Hammy O
  4. I've occasionally noticed a similar effect but not as severe and believed it to be due to different neck profile shapes affecting the left hand grip slightly ?
  5. help please i dont actually have much hair left to pull out!!! have an emu0404pci-e card in a pc running windows7 (fully uptodate and with a dedicated vid card with 1gb vram) - i understand that emu apparently discontinued supporting the drivers for this card and others after XP - i have tried all the various little fizes i can find online but still suffering from sound signal break up the machine has a decent enough quadcore processor and 8gb of RAM sound breakup occurs in all and any apps although it noticeably seems to play up more in spotify this same card worked perfectly in an old sony vaio machine with a much slower processor and only 4gb of ram but crucially i guess with XP fully patched up any suggestions much appreciated ta ed- closing down the apps and restarting them usually clears it but sometimes they need closing down 2 or three times
  6. bought Adams dbx160a - great condition and extremley well packaged and speedy delivery
  7. Hi are you able to ship or local to north Kent?
  8. well all things considered in this post i just consider myself lucky i never went to see Yngwie
  9. [quote name='Billy Apple' timestamp='1448006806' post='2912158'] Samson. Who what Bruce Dickinson sang for. [/quote] Samson yes it's all coming back now like a bad dream, buggered if I can remember who they were supporting though, would have been Hammersmith odeon around 79 ish
  10. [quote name='Kenny Gair' timestamp='1443084524' post='2871988'] I have a TRB5p, had it from birth in 1990. Don't sell it....you'll regret it! Best bass I ever owned, still use it as my main goto. [/quote] +1 sold my 6p and regretted it ever since Sustain and clarity on these is next to none
  11. Yup Scotts thingy on the interwebs does a complete breakdown of it very good vid tutorial
  12. [quote name='TrevorR' timestamp='1447956373' post='2911857'] Heavy Pettin' supporting Magnum at Hammersmith around 1988. The worst sort of 80s hair metal imaginable. And not even bad enough to be a parody of themselves. [/quote] You've just reminded me of my misspent student days when I believe I recall seeing tygers of pan tang at hull city hall Also recall another extremely dire display from a support band whose name escapes me but the whole episode is unfortunately etched into my tiny fragile mind by virtue of a woefully poor drummer wearing a mask (presumably to cover his own embarrassment) who delighted in thrilling the crowds with his showmanship and probably delighted himself more by the fact that he went by the name of ...... THUNDERSTICK
  13. Ok hands up everybody in here of a certain age who when as a teenager thought they were on some god given mission to save the world from banality and mediocrity by listening to prog How did that work out?
  14. [quote name='leschirons' timestamp='1444331202' post='2882378'] Yup, 6 months ago, a friend of our son told me he was going to Ronnie Scott's for dinner with some friends. "Who's on?" I enquired. "Dunno, some bloke or a band maybe. Me mate got the tickets" Whoever was playing must have been overjoyed with that bunch in the audience. [/quote] i experienced some slick tongued junior apprentice of 'Swiss Tony' trying to schmooze two young lady friends he had taken along to the jazz cafe completely ignorant and constantly talking over the worlds greatest living guitarist (for it was none other than allan holdsworth)
  15. [quote name='JapanAxe' timestamp='1447596413' post='2908749'] Eh? Normal pub T&C's are that you turn up and play between the agreed times! [/quote] Yup that was all good Just the bit afterwards where they fudged the agreed fee and reneged on the deal
  16. [quote name='timmo' timestamp='1447373490' post='2907260'] He has had better backing singers in the past [/quote] Yes didn't that just jump right out of the radio at ya - probably poor monitoring
  17. i succumbed to this a few weeks ago and rather lovely it is too
  18. ive used the amp modelling to different effect - when running it through my head i didnt particularly like the modelling so much - but when running it direct into a mix desk and through PA it sounded good one other thing which you can google and find out is the apparent flaw with USB computer connection - according to the handbool and all the Line6 blurb you 'should' be able to download patches and load them to the pod from the Line6 monkey software - but for some reason it never seems to work - plenty of complaints online about it but not one single solution - not a major problem if you want to design your own patches in the pod and store them in the pod but only a nuisance if you feel the need to back up or download thrid party patches ed- if for any reason i do run thru the head i just use the 'tube di' setting without any amp modelling
  19. I have one of these you could gig with it but would really ideally need the FBV short board to go with it - unless you plan on using just one or two patches to switch between songs or better still not change at all and just use as a DI/preamp straight into a power amp Sound quality and modelling is fine but on the fly control and adjustment is very impractical and unwieldy - personally I keep mine for home noodling and recording and prefer the accessibility of stomp boxes for gigging
  20. shame am over in north kent here
  21. [quote name='itsmedunc' timestamp='1446910251' post='2903440'] Sure there was a big kick off there in 1066 as well. Sounds like a bad place to play to me... [/quote] are you there all week?
  22. gig went ok word of advice to anybody considering taking a booking from The Sun in Faversham - as a precaution make sure when you agree the booking and confirm that all parties involved are fully aware of t&c's re the fee
