What you want is Polymorph. Brilliant stuff! Here's a video if you don't know what I'm talking about.

Here's another one!

I've tried and failed. Not an easy job at all.

The White Album should have been a single album with just the good songs on it then It would have a brilliant album!

Limiting the choice to bands I've seen live that left me totally speechless leaves just 2 and they are Golden Earring and Nutz. Both absolutely fantastic!
as an aside, Dave Lloyd, the singer with Nutz, recorded this as well.

1972 Precision. Absolute rubbish. Wish I still had it though, it would certainly be worth more than the £220 I paid for it new.

Been following this thread with great interest. I'd certainly like to go all in ears but our drummer will never do it as he doesn't like things in his ears and he'd never go electronic kit either so it's purely academic.
However, I've been intrigued with the talk of the KZ ZS10s so I've bought a pair to see what it's all about. I've never been able to fit ear buds into my ears, I must have a funny ear shape, but I've managed too fit these in using the smallest rubber bits and I have to say they are mighty impressive just listening to music.
A big thank you for discovering them.

Danelectro long horn sounds pretty good.
-
As well as the Doors, there's Atomic Rooster and Led Zeppelin, on Stairway to Heaven live anyway.

Roost made an amazing 100w valve head. Sounded very close to Hiwatt.

1 minute ago, discreet said:
What constitutes 'a good rig' could be debated until the cows come home, but I would agree... the best 'tone' or 'sound' or whatever you want to call it that I ever had was through an Ampeg SVT Classic with matching 8X10. Still chasing that sound, really. I'd use a fridge every time, were it not for the practicalities involved in moving the bloody thing from A to B. And back.
Totally agree. In my case it was four 4 x 12s driven with 2 x Marshall Super Bass hundreds. What a sound. Slightly impractical now though.

Had a simliar problem with mine. It wasn't valves but dirt. The fan pulls air in from everywhere. The unused input sockets and the F/X loop sockets soon got dirty and started messing about. It might be worth checking these out first. A can of servisol is cheaper than a set of valves. Actually, a lead between the F/X sockets will cure that one but I had to have the input sockets changed as they got really dirty. Still cheaper than valves though.

How strange. Original Hiwatt cabs all had Fane speakers as standard. Fane pop 50s if I remember correctly. The same as Sound City.

No gaffa tape then?

There's no doubt, imho, that Apple is the way to go. If your not going anywhere with your computer and you've got a spare monitor sitting around the the Mac Mini is a very fine machine, just get the highest spec you can afford. No monitor, then get an iMac, again the highest spec you can afford. They both come with Garage Band for free and Logic would cost you £199.99p, https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/logic-pro-x/id634148309?mt=12 and Logic is about as good as you can get. Opinions will vary of course.

Let us know what you think.

Only ever use these, 50 - 110 Stadium rounds. Brilliant strings.
-
Love this one.
-
It is indeed a Kay, as sold by Woolworths in the 70s. Didn't cost a lot then worth even less now although some think they are worth a fortune and collectable.

In the olden days, valve amps had 4, 8 or 16 ohm output settings and all 4 x 12s were 16 ohm so full output to 1 or 2 or even 4 cabs. Just set the impedance selector to the right setting.
-
Never heard this one before so I've just watched it on youtube and I'd like to say what a brilliant tune and why are you complaining, however, I can't as it's total crap! I share your pain. It's just a vehicle for a guitarist to show 'how brilliant am I' and yes I did suffer all 6 minutes and 9 seconds just in case I missed a good bit but I didn't.

I never liked Trace Elliot. Never could get a good sound out of them. Good luck, maybe you'll succeed where I failed.

Looking for rulers...
in Build Diaries

It was instilled in me at a very early age that it is a wooden ruler and a steel rule. It would be plastic ruler now though.
Must be something here that fits the bill.
