  1. Sudden urge to own a tonehammer.

      Gotcha! 

      Funnily enough the Magellan adds a bump to the lower mids too as well as cutting the extreme high and low frequencies to make a thick, smooth mid rich valve like drive that works brilliantly in the mix, better than any other drive that I've tried (of which there are many!). It's perfect for Motown and dad rock stuff although I often leave it on for the whole set, everything from Andy Williams to the Foo Fighters :lol: 

      Never had a chance to gig the Tone Hammer, unfortunately.

      Presumably a Tonehammer 'nails' the sound you are after...

      The AGS button will convert the gain dial to a drive control. Sensitive though. Past 9:00 gets too grindy for my ear. Mid controls also affect AGS output. I'm running mine at 7:00 and it's just right for me.

  2. Positive Grid BIAS AMP BASS (Mini) has just arrived on my doorstep ready for a review next week.

      Hahahahaha!

      Smileys and emojis are reminiscent of school when girls used to put little love hearts over their "i"s instead of dots.  They're meaningless to people like me.

      The internet probably isn't the best place to hang out if Smileys, Emoji's and digital aren't your thing. 🤣

  3. In the vain attempt to hang on to my ehem... rock star status.. 🤣 I’ve got a new logo!! Expect to see it plastered everywhere.. err, well, here.

      On my screen, this was beautifully truncated to "Expect to see it plastered."

      Which is nice.

      I looked up her website.

      When I saw the words "artist and recovering groupie" I left because I am far too young to risk being corrupted with that kind of malarkey.

      Which bit of your anatomy would you immortalise Dood?  Your fretting hand or your plucking hand?

    4. Dood

      I've no idea who Cynthia is and I'm not sure I want to look it up ha ha!!

      What part would I immortalise? Goodness I've no idea. I'm not really sure anyone would want that to happen lol. Think 'my other half' would probably use my head as a door stop maybe.

  4. When the bass in the shop window that in no way you could ever afford to buy is sold.. 

    1. SpondonBassed

      Also curious...

      What object of desire would tempt the man who gets to review all that kind of kit at work?

      The rather lovely 76 P bass on the Wunjo website. It was a Natural w/Rosewood. Lovely!

      Ooooh. Heartbreaking. Been there. Felt that!

  5. Constantly in need of another 8 hours a day to keep up with things. Exhausted! Maybe I'll find some time to be a musician!

      I need to just give up trying. Deleted my YouTube channels and a whole bunch of SM accounts today. I might keep Instagram as that’s fun, but I think I’m totally hovering over that FB delete rather than disable this time.

      @dood Do it! Facebook is a monumental waste of time and gets you precisely nowhere. I don't miss it at all.

      He'll be missed.

      Poor Mini-Me, seems like he suffered a lot with depression and substance issues.

      Thank you everyone :) 

      Yes, I feel like I am 100 years old. I sometimes wonder if in my universe time is moving faster. It only feels like yesterday I had ten posts; I'm old and grey, 100 seemed to arrive in no time at all and typing 80,000 posts a year happened in a blink of an eye. ha ha!

      Yes I will sign anything.. probably how I ended up in this mess in the first place lol... 

       

  8. Visitors to BC over the years may well have seem me bang on about what I suppose is still a favourite 'tonally coloured' speaker cabinet, the Hartke 4.5XL. I've had about 6 of those 45Kg beasts over the years. Too heavy for my poor back now. Imagine my excitement when I find I can have 600 different IR's of this famous cabinet to play with on Helix and my DAW???!!!!! Could I have 'Dan's 90's Tone' back again??? Watch this space! (My back says thank you)

      @SpondonBassed - You beat me to my reply - yours is a bit more concise and yes spot on. What's funny is that in terms of being coloured (in) the Hartke 4.5XL has aluminium cones and thus are shiny silver. The crayons are nice... but you know... shiny!!! (oh man. I'm a Magpie)

    3. SpondonBassed

      SpondonBassed

      Which tends to be heavier?  Hartke or TE gear?

    4. Dood

      Dood

      Hartke I believe are the only one out of the two that offer Neodymium in their range? So by default that would be my answer, but I think the Hartke 4.5XL is heavier than Trace's 4x10 equivalent.

      Will look forward to checking it out, Dan!

      Looking at the photo wondering whether a) you scrub up pretty well, or b) were on the way to a court hearing when the band said “Don’t forget the photo-shoot...” :biggrin::drinks:

      The job's a good 'un.

      The Room is a nicely polished work.  It has a great blend of classical strings, male and female vox and the prog ethic.  Like all sophisticated works, the first listen is a tease.  I will enjoy listening to this again and again.

  10. Well, there's my Dingwall up for sale.

      V3. It is then! :) Either way, you’ve done an amazing job, all!

      Is it wrong of me to mourn the Dood predator?

    3. SpondonBassed

      SpondonBassed

      Oh yeah, I hadn't noticed that had changed too.
