Best sound I have ever had? Well it had to beat a hartke 3500 with 410xl and 210xl cabs, a Mesa 400+ with 1516BE cabinet, a trace V4 combo and a few others I could mention such as a SVT CL and 810... IEMs!! Never been able to hear myself better. Kind of obvious when you think about it. Often I turned around to look at the massive behemoth behind me which took ages to struggle into the venue and I though - 'what's the point' ped

I had a fantastic day. the next bash has a lot to live up to!! The venue was excellent, great idea to have two rooms. Really nice catching up with some regulars and meeting lots of new faces (both new and old). Thanks to Kiwi for bringing me along and to my girlfriend for lending me her 106 for the day. I just about returned it in one piece. Some highlights for me - very impressed with the two 10" BFM cabs and the new Hartke head brought along by andyonbass- simple setup with a great sound. Also cool to see Urb demonstrate the amazing looper pedal. I went to buy one today but fortunately the shop was closed so I have saved some money! It was a pleasure to watch Mr. East share some of his amazing knowledge with us with the help (and fantastic playing) of his handsome assistant (sorry, forgotten the name!) Simply a fantastic day with some fantastic people for a fantastic cause. Thanks to everyone involved in setting it all up, and everyone who came and made it a great day. Cheers ped

Oxford anyone? Or can anyone fix the throttle body on my Vectra before tomorrow?

Anyone else coming from Oxford? Unforseen circumstances mean I might be reduced to THE TRAIN!!

Ignore him :0)

Yeah you do need good equipment to transmit the full potential of the kit live. I am coming from an IEM live perspective and recording studio usage so don't have these issues to face.

I am not sure if I DO prefer acoustic kits for recording, to be honest. Unless the kit is tuned and kept in a stable atmosphere and looked after, miced up and set up for recording, they can be a complete pain in the arse to work with! I think the advantages far outweigh the disadvantages with electric kits.

My brother has a TD12 and we love it to bits. The thing never goes out of tune and is a dream to record with. A bit +1 from me! We have it set up in the lounge and my bass the other side of the room, all going in to a mixer and headphone box with independent volume controls - because the drum heads are mesh they are very quiet (the rubber ones are quite loud so you have to turn up the vol to compensate) so it works like a dream. Live it goes through the PA and sounds brilliant.

Pretty sure greeneking had one in a Lakland Precision...

£20 is pretty good considering the amount of acts I reckon. I will be there for sure!

I noticed yesterday that the new Eden nemesis combos are wedge shaped. Off-topic I know, but not the most off topic thing I noticed yesterday.

I will! Cheers mate ped

Cool mate, I will czech that out on Fir! Cheers!

I seem to remember the front of #213 has that same finish 'cracking' as your beauty - it looks awesome though.

WELL! What a superb evening. Christophe was an absolute gent - very funny and really down to earth. Shattering guitar playing but really tasteful too. A master of any style! Pleased to have met a couple of Basschatters there, too. Cheers ped

Crikey, the battlestar looks great!

I love that #213 mate... it is 1986 though I think. Show us some more pics!! You are right Kev, that is in amazing condition for its age! Mine looks like it has been dragged through a hedge backwards - and so does #213 above! Gotta love 'em though!

Best wishes to the family for your loss. RIP mate. ped

Just realised you are quite close to me! *waves*

Oooh OK... you should probably watch that one with caution, then! I think the only film I have watched after reading the book was 'free Willy' (Read in at Center Parcs) and was pretty disappointed

Oh son. Really.

Hehe nope. I had no idea what it was until I put it on. Good stuff if you ask me, though I can imagine the book is even better as the film had a lot of scope. Who is your avatar then? ped

I LOVED V for Vendetta
