  1. There's a place for people like you! [size=7][b][font=courier new,courier,monospace][url="http://basschat.co.uk/forum/96-guitarchat-led-by-kiwi/"][color=#b22222]Doom[/color][/url][/font][/b][/size] I go there occasionally too. (It's a link)
  2. [quote name='zawinul' timestamp='1485346852' post='3223263'] Cheers for this can you recommend any good software , cheap to get me started please? [/quote] If you're using a Mac, then Garageband or Logic. They both have great amp sims. If you have bridge & neck pick ups on your bass, select the bridge pickup for a more burpy tone. Personally I don't get why you'd want a clangy bassless tone. Unless of course there's something else providing low end (like a low ringing kick).
  3. Looking forward to having a listen to all of these. I've had a listen to some & the work is excellent. I think it's gonna be hard to chose just 3.
  4. I can relate to harmonica. There's always been at least one in the household when I was growing up & try as I might, it sounded like a cat's chorus put through a harmoniser that couldn't pick up the notes. Every other instrument I've picked up, I can soon grasp.
  5. [quote name='Indy' timestamp='1485248516' post='3222369'] Completed 90% of mine but due to work I'll miss the deadline, so will have to go again next month. [/quote] If it's 90% done, get it entered.
  6. The LMII has 2 jumper switches inside, one for changing the FX loop & the other is for the DI being pre or post EQ. I dare say the LMIII may be similar.

    Radiovox Amp

    Here's a pic for scale next to a full size 88 key keyboard. [url=https://flic.kr/p/Rh9aAv][/url] And here's some interior views. [url=https://flic.kr/p/Qe9tuz][/url] [url=https://flic.kr/p/Rpk9Ss][/url] [url=https://flic.kr/p/Rpk9Um][/url] I'm really looking forward to trying it out.
  9. I've not used MainStage, but for looping things live, Ableton Live seems to be the daddy.
  10. What he ^ says. Try it first & see if it's loud enough. If not, add it. The benefit of not adding it means you're running less power through the circuitry, meaning less wear to the components.
  11. You could be a lesbian & dress as a woman dressed as a man. That might be okay.
  12. Aren't we all binary? Men have I/O & women have O/O.
  13. I had a shot of a Breedlove Fretless in Guitar Centre last month. Quite possibly one of the nicest fretless I've ever played & it was only $950.
  14. [quote name='LewisK1975' timestamp='1484656310' post='3217187'] If that photo is not an Orange advert, it really should be. They are the only things in that picture apart from things made of stone / concrete that are still structurally together. [/quote] Even the grillcloth went unscathed!
  15. It depends what style of playing you want to learn. If it's rhythm, grab these 5 chords to start with C A D G E & just strum. Practice strumming just 8ths & then throw in 16ths. Play about with patterns until you're comfortable & then practice moving from one chord to another (e.g. G to D & back to G). Once you've gotten comfortable playing these 5 chords, chuck in the barred chords. It's not hard. If it's lead, then practice scales. Treat it a bit like a bass.
  16. Wish I lived a bit closer to London when things like this come up. Is it just me who thinks it means something other than bass guitars when they see LBGS? I thought I was getting 20% off a roger from Roger!
  17. Anything that's been given "critical acclaim".

    Radiovox Amp

    [quote name='Chienmortbb' timestamp='1484667823' post='3217321'] Does Mag suggest a phono input? [/quote] I believe it may do, as these were used in a pair for left & right channels coming from a mixer (DJ type).
  19. [quote name='mikel' timestamp='1484662876' post='3217263'] If you read the op he says "Songs you would have on your set list if you hated the crowd" Sounds to me like songs that would empty the room. I love 21st Century, and Thick as a Brick etc, but play them at a pub/club gig and watch the tumbleweed. [/quote] You're right. I still wouldn't play Stereophonics.

    Radiovox Amp

    That Dymo tag's been on there for a good 30+ years. It's an antique! I'll get some inner pics this week.
  21. My Bro has had 2 of these for years (he bought them off our uncle, who bought them new back in the 60s). Used to use them for PA all the time, but he doesn't use them anymore. A couple of weeks ago I got one off him to try out as a bass amp. It's had a recent service, but needs 2 valves (KT88) & I need to build/buy a cab to use with it. What I find most interesting, is that there is very little on the internet about Radiovox Amps, a couple of old radios, but not a sniff of info about Radiovox Sound Systems (other than one person saying that he thinks they were for PA). Here's a pic for proof... [url=https://flic.kr/p/Q53Dd8][/url] I'm planning on giving it a cosmetic refurb. Which is simply repainting the case & polishing up the handles with some steel wool. This thing weighs a ton. But if it sounds good, I have a drummer.
  22. Nah, it's about what would be bad on the setlist, whatever the reason. Most Stereophonics songs is my worst thing to have on a set list. I like Stereophonics to listen to, but not to play. BTW, I like Agadoo. introduced the niece to it at Xmas & she loves it.
  23. [quote name='Twincam' timestamp='1484493132' post='3215848'] I actually think 15w valve watts for guitar can cover an awful lot of ground. [/quote] Yup...
  24. Finding actual musicians can be a realllly hard & slow process. Finding wazzicks with guitars & karaoke singers, easy.
  25. [quote name='RockfordStone' timestamp='1484570402' post='3216352'] Every time someone posts something to a forum they know they are opening themselves up to criticism, if they weren't willing to accept it, they wouldn't post. It depends on how the criticism is offered i guess. you could say A - "you're drums sound like utter w***, i hate them, it's sh*t" when all you mean is B - "i think you could tone down the compression as it makes the drums sound off and hard to listen to" If you offered A on one of my recordings, id call you a rude name and probably not post again. if you offer me B however, im more inclined to go back and listen to the drums again, because quite often a second set of ears makes a massive difference. Again, harsh criticism is fair enough, but setting up a sub forum to effectively slate peoples efforts isn't needed. that depends on how the criticism is offered i guess. [/quote] You make a good point there. Though going from on BC in general, I don't think genuine members would look to be offensive. I suppose a better idea is if someone wants honest brutal (but not personal/nasty) criticism, then in the current share your music forum they should just ask for that sort of feedback.
