  1. Mud are never a group that I would have thought of or described as glam, but i agree, there is so much more work in even the basic songs back then, especially for a bass player. Work that had pretty much dried up by the 90s!
  2. Ignore me I am an idiot - I didn't see you had another singer due to the location of the camera!
  3. There is a very high pitched overtone parallel with the singer - Is it an effect / distortion or a member of the public?
  4. No, that is just a link to my default facebook feed - there is no other info on it - if you look at the link there is no information on it other than turning off a filter
  5. Worse than 2, when I went through the cherry audio GX80, which is a faithful recreation of the CS80 with some GX1 presets too, playing a chord with every single of of the original presets was a song I knew (and in the presets is the whole of blade runner too). Presets are handy to give you an insight into what you can do with a thing, but shouldn't really be relied on as the only thing, unless thats what you want, in which case you would probably be better with a rom based thing - I have a DS61 and its beauty is that if you want a sound, you select a type (piano / organ / strings / wind / voice etc) and then select one of the presets - its not a synth and doesn't try to be, its for making known sounds. The argon isn't that, although when I want to synth anything, I always end up with the Waldorf Blofeld for hardware (or equator 2 on the mac).
  6. Like anything, when you are used to it is easy enough. Any synth can dissapear into the mix, I mean it is easier than the DX yamaha range, and that managed to get itself on a lot of records
  7. Funny but also deeply disturbing, its the phone jingle and advert industry today, the charts next year then thats it!
  8. There are 160 wavetables, so not quite that many, although you can morph between pairs of wavetables Press init patch and go from there. This might help though:
  9. It is a very different bass (I used to have an l2500 too), much bigger neck, much bigger feeling bass in general, but still quite a variation of tones on it, its not like a P although it can make that kind of sound
  10. Maybe the second gen version that is out now is lighter, mine is like a small sun!
  11. We were going to do that, I learned the bass solo (hideous thing) but the song sounded really flat when we did it, so we dropped it. Now the guitarist who hated that we dropped it is trying to bring it back, but I have completely forgotten it and am sure as hell not learning it again!
  12. Good choice - I ahve an argon (the key one). Great synth. Modal are still a going concern though, they released new synths this year at namm, and their reps are saying it is just restructuring, so who knows. It would be a shame if they went as they have done some great stuff. They also release a carbon synth too. I am still tempted by a cobalt to go with the argon.
  13. If the reason they quit is still present, you can't rule out them quitting again.
  14. The ibanez 5005 is a lovely bass, if you have the strength for it. It looks nice, it feels nice, the pickups are very versatile and sound great. All in all there is very little bad to say about it, except, it weighs a lot, because it is dripping in Wenge, which is heavy. I have one, and I rarely gig it because of the weight, it is so much heavier than my 1605, whcih is very similar, except poplar where the 5005 is wenge. Try one and see if you get on with the weight ok I wrote about mine here:
  15. So whats the best combo for accordian? I know, anything as long as its off! Didn't stop roland making a £4k V-Accordian though.
  16. Let me know what you think - I have a copy of the previous one (the cube baby type) and it isn't a patch on the quality of the mooer p1, which I know you weren't keen on. Maybe they got better.
  17. So what have you got against Polka huh?
  18. Had a same thing with that track, as a one of someone asked me to play it and I thought, well, its whitesnake its not going to be hard is it. And I was wrong. So I learned it anyway and we ended up not doing it. But it to this day irritates me hearing people doing a stripped down version of it!
  19. ok, so I managed to solve the problem. If you spend every day looking for a few weeks, in the end you can buy a new B stock RCF Evox J8 for £520, white, non original pole, no speakon or mains plug, a couple of minor scuffs, non original packaging, but no breaks or damage. I can live with the white for that!
  20. The form is probably doable, but it still relies on people filling it in properly
  21. Its not a reverb / ebay thing, its a paypal thing so it works on any transfer
