Hartke combo + extension cab. I need some opinions.
steve-bbb replied to ChickenKiev's topic in Amps and Cabs
if the head is removable from the cab and could be placed in a 2U rack case i would stick with the head use it with a hydrive410 i use the 2500 head with a hydrive410 regularly for gigging - even when you think you cant hear it on stage above the pesky guitarists ive never had any complaints that i couldnt be heard further back in the venue -

Do not use Parcelforce to ship musical instruments
steve-bbb replied to chriswareham's topic in General Discussion
[quote name='chriswareham' timestamp='1382358969' post='2251075'] Hi folks, I've just had a claim for compensation refused by Parcelforce. They will only honour insurance claims for musical instruments up to 100GBP, even if you take out enhanced compensation, and only if the instrument is sent in what they judge to be a hard case. In my experience they will sell you enhanced compensation at the Post Office counter - Parcelforce are owned and operated by the Post Office - even if they are aware you are sending a musical instrument. The terms and conditions are not explained to you, and on checking with the branch I used the Post Office do not have them in printed format. In my case, the appeals centre responded with what I now know is their standard refusal that allegs the item was "inadequately packaged". This is despite the box I used being a double thickness corrugated cardboard one, with bracing pieces and packing to ensure the guitar could not move once inside the box. Even with this packaging, it arrived with impact and pressure damage that resulted in a smashed scratch plate and dents through the finish that exposed the wood on both neck and body. The worst part for me is that the guitar had arrived unscathed from Slovakia in a much flimsier box only a few weeks ago. The box I then used to send it from London to Manchester was one that Fender had used to send a special order to a local dealer via the US Postal Service - the box was immaculate, and that's despite the USPS having a fearsome reputation for mistreating parcels! [/quote] this sounds pretty much like the synopsis you will need to write on your small court claim form -

[quote name='MiltyG565' timestamp='1382355653' post='2250996'] It's a great excuse though, isn't it? "Dude, you totally f***ed up the chorus" "Nah man, I was just jazzing it up a bit." [/quote] no no no no no no noooooo f*ing it up is not acceptable chord substitution is a complex artform not some random process -

[quote name='Heathy' timestamp='1382170708' post='2248818'] Wow. Hadn't seen this one before. Thanks for posting! [/quote] its dreadful video quality but you can still hear his voice enough to tell just how good he is - to my ears a very similar voice to nat king cole quirky songs not the greatest production/mixing but a bit of a marmite album - i love it [media]http://youtu.be/w9lNI5mol0c[/media]

New 'Later' Series On The Way....Yawwwwwnnnn!
steve-bbb replied to spongebob's topic in General Discussion
i often tend th this [quote name='wateroftyne' timestamp='1382138369' post='2248693'] Fingernails down a blackboard time. Hideous. Andy you're right - there's a load of people around peddling this nonsense. Sing in your own voice, fer cryin' out loud. It's like listening to an impressionist. [/quote] but usually end up back at this [quote name='kevin_lindsay' timestamp='1382155365' post='2248749'] I enjoyed it. Having acts playing live, with mistakes and fluctuations, is still preferable in my opinion, to the homogenised Simon Cowell fayre on offer elsewhere. ... I guess I'm just a fan of hearing people make a musical noise. I've been this way for 35 years, and my delight in music hasn't faded yet. [/quote] -

New ideas for the Recording forum - THE PEOPLE HAVE SPOKEN!
steve-bbb replied to Skol303's topic in General Discussion
[quote name='Skol303' timestamp='1382081556' post='2247539'] Press play/record! I have Nanostudio on my phone - it's great. I'm not sure whether it can record audio, but you should be able to use the keyboard you've connected to play and record MIDI notes - literally by hitting record and noodling away. Try it. If it doesn't work I'll have a quick look into the desktop copy of Nanostudio and try to find a solution for ya. [/quote] didnt work lol - the keyboard is making groovy noises but nothing is recording on the track - tried it in reaper too going to stick to just playing bass edit - thenanostudio is on my desktop pc btw - i do also have it on my iphone but have never bothered using it so that was 11 quid well spent i guess -
Budget basses, anyone else fallen in love with their's?
steve-bbb replied to a topic in Bass Guitars
Here is my blue affinity series J bought a couple of years ago from [url="https://www.facebook.com/mannysmusicshop"]Manny's Music[/url] when i saw it in the shop i loved the colour so i picked it up and even with knackered and extremely dead strings it sounded and felt great so for 150 squid it was mine have looked at a few others in shops of same make model and colour and it appears that mine has a slightly better factory finish and detail attention than some of the brand spanking new ones ive seen - sound is great, passive stock squier pups with a relatively hot output , was planning on dropping a set of wizards in there but alas they are now even harder to come by - the only mod ive done to this is placing a heavy bridge on which imho did make a difference - not sure if the scratchplate was from factory it is a sort of dirty off white which has the appearance of once being clean but has been hung up in a room with somebody smoking 200 cigs a day - it is regularly gigged!
