No 1 all day long for me, although I do have a pedal it only has 2 sounds, my tone......and tuner!

Unlikely due to him dying last month 🙄

To be fair though, with that overbite, that was my initial thought too..then I thought, hang on... the scars, then I thought, hang on...he's died.....doh!!

Looking very chilled there Blue!

oooh feel that burn!!!

Reading back over this thread and I missed this at first glance - the Reidmar 750 seems particularly good value for money. Even more so, the Reidmar 502 is under £400! Any idea how ‘loud’ they are compared to their watt ratings?

Before the can of worms starts bubbling, I’m fully aware that loudness and watts are not necessarily related. What I’m trying to decipher is: are the Reidmars capable of producing a similar amount of power as other amplifiers (such as my RH450) or are companies playing marketing games? Will a Reidmar 502/500 be as loud as my RH450, and is the 750 as loud as you expect it to be? 

I have a Reidmar 250 which is just as loud as my Aggy TH500, I dunno how they do it really!

I believe the Reidmar 500 is just a rebadged 250 with no actual changes to the innards...there was a post on here about it a coupla years back.

Thomas Dolby always used to get me with clever lyrics

'My friends tell me she's just a, Dumb Blonde

But they don't know she dyes her hair'

The wood on those side wings reminds me of 1970's school desks..doesn't bode well for me

Strap button screws checked pretty regularly as I jump about a bit 😲 Apart from that, not a lot.

Ooh get you guys!

Excellent review, good luck with the album 😎

When you say Chrome fronted, do you mean this one?

Err...2 tones controls and a blend? is that right?...no volume?

Played at a lovely little pub in the middle of nowhere around Princes Risborough...marquee in the garden with real ale in kegs, plenty of punters (where DID they come from?) and enthusiastic too.  Had a great night even when we tripped out the whole pub during the 3rd song (had a bit of an impromptu sing along organised by the singist until somebody reset the breakers) and the lead guitarist had a lead go pfft near the end, cue other guitarist playing intro to Stairway to a huge cheer while he sorted it, and panic look from singer cos he couldn't remember the lyrics lol. 

Got another gig in July out of it too at a pub in Henley....good times

Ooh just found a pic on FB

LMAO!!!  Nope but if you look closely you'll see a dangling Smoothhound, which seem to be out of favour at the moment.....does that count?

Damnation.

Double Damnation!

Ooh just realised I've comitted another sin here too....hand off the fretboard!!🤣

Ooh.... last weekend went to see 'Tubular Bells for Two' locally, basically a pair of mad aussies who thought it would be a great idea to do Tubular Bells live...just the 2 of em!

Extensive use of loopers and adrenaline and they were both wringing wet by the end.  Supported by gypsyfingers, who I had never heard of, a kind of acid Clannad which was most entertaining, with the added bonus of being co fronted by Luke Oldfield...son of aforementioned Tubular bells creator.

Bass player Simon Hedges was utterly mesmerising, leaping around the stage barefoot gurning like mad and never missing a beat, on a Ric seemingly held together with gaffer tape!!

Seem to be a handful I often pull off the shelf...

The Cult "Dreamtime"

Joy Division "Closer"

All About Eve debut album

Fields Of The Nephilim "The Nephilim" (specifically side 2 for those who can remember when a disc had tunes on both sides 🙂 )

FOTN...great stuff...love Celebrate as its almost all bass and picked too...its a workout for me as a mainly fingerstyle player!

Tubular Bells....always great to chill to

Curved Air- Air Cut...great band at their most rocky

Yes- Going For The One....no filler here!

Sabbath Bloody Sabbath......Sabbs. nuff said
