    just take some time off. Nowt wrong with that if you're not feeling it. Just crack on with other stuff - homelife, work, gym, study, whatever suits.... then when you least expect it, you'll get some motivation to pick it up and you'll be away! Maybe go to some gigs and enjoy 'enjoying' music - go to some gigs... You'll be fine..........

(solo starts at 2:12)[/font][/color] I like that a lot - thanks!....the crazy thing with the Free version and them in general is that they were 17 / 18 / 19 when that album was recorded and released! Brilliant. (so maybe you could say that they didn't 'have' the blues, but could certainly play it) That's the great thing about threads like like - you get to discover new (old) music. I'm a big Allman Brothers fan and used to play this back in the day - http://youtu.be/0wsUNMSiIII The blues is such a huge genre.............so, good luck with the audition!!!

    Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac - http://youtu.be/XSutFqtkHTs AND http://youtu.be/Pjda5eiV2bA - I could add loads of this!

    Free (Andy Fraser is great on things like 'Going Down Slow') - http://youtu.be/nH-a1ndCFHA These are just a few of my faves and have been featured in blues things I've done in the past.......

    All, due to the recent purchase of an Aguilar Tone Hammer 500, for sale is my trusty 2005 Ampeg SVT3 Pro head. I have owned this from new and have used it regularly since. I bought it from Electromusic in Doncaster and it was £1100 at the time! It's one of the (apparently more desirable) USA made ones (SLM electronics) rather than the current made in 'Vietnam ones' (LOUD technologies). It's served me well on tours, album, radio and tv sessions and on all sorts of sized gigs with plenty of headroom to spare. It comes with a live in Gator black ABS flightcase. The key locks on the flightcase are now missing, but the side wing locks are all present and work correctly. Also, one of the side carry handles is missing. There is a small scratch on the right handle on the front of the amp and the knob on the 'balanced out' level control is missing. It had new preamp valves last year. It's almost a 2 channel amp as there are 2 EQ stages - there's the standard 'rotary controlled EQ with bass, mid, treble, the Ampeg 5 way pre set voicing control and a hi and low 'boost' switch. There's also a 'bright' control for extra 'sparkle'. In addition, there's a 9 band graphic EQ which can be switched on or off. it's also foot switchable to give you the 2 channels. It also has a -15dB pad switch for active basses, a gain, master vol, a mute switch and a tube gain control. It's a really versatile head and can cope well in all sorts of situations - thumpy jazz and Motown to proper loud with a bit of grit! I used it with a Stingray initially, then Jazzes and a P bass. It sounded great with them all. I also used a Sans Amp and VT bass depending on what I was doing. I can't currently think of anything else! [s][b]For sale at £500.00 or will consider a straight swap for a Fender Precision or Jazz bass - a nice CIJ or US only[/b].[/s] [size=5][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif][b]SOLD!!![/b][/font][/size] collected.Based in Wrexham, N Wales. I don't mind meeting within an hour of Wrexham for fuel. A family member regularly drives from Oxford to Wrexham so there's the possibility of the buyer collecting from North Oxford. Any other questions, please PM me! Follow the link below to photos as I couldn't get the uploaders to work on here.

    "Sh1t in, sh1t out" Usually heard from sound engineers when a band is using a 'full pa' with fully mic'd drums for the first time......."my toms don't normally sound this bad"

    [quote name='lonestar' timestamp='1357855143' post='1929709'] I'm going to stop adding to this thread now as the more I've read on his site I'm starting to find it all a little mad and sad. [/quote] good idea for everyone I guess.

    [quote name='discreet' timestamp='1357583204' post='1924880'] I certainly don't agree with [i]all [/i]he's saying by any means, but the police [i]do[/i] kill without fear of prosecution (Ian Tomlinson, Mark Duggan and many others) and we [i]have [/i]invoked a 'super heavy control society' (DNA database, Draft Communications Data Bill and many other anti-privacy policies). So it's not [i]all [/i]drug-induced paranoia. [color=#ffffff].[/color] [/quote] Fair comment.......... still a bit 'odd' though........I mean, isn't 'it' meant to be about 'the music'?!.......or is that too simple.........

    [quote name='molan' timestamp='1356091073' post='1906650'] And contains a ludicrous political rant on, of all pages, his list of gear. Running down the side of his guitar pictures is a long rant about the EU, immigration in general, immigrants taking jobs and houses from UK citizens, how being part of of EU has emptied churches (!) and crippled the NHS, how the police are facist bully boys who kill without fear of prosecution, voting conservative, labour or lib/dem means we have all invoked a 'super heavy control society', some anti-communist rubbish, conspiracy theory stuff, the ruin of our children by teaching them about sex and homosexuality, racist comments about Poles, Nigerians and Filipinos, how Britain is being 'abolished' and on and on and on. These sound like the ramblings of a seriously deranged mind to me. . . [/quote] Acid was really flowing back in the good old days......clearly.
