One to add to the list!

To save me the journey of travelling up to Sheffield to see Jon Shuker for 'Doodle's first service, I have enlisted the extraordinary talents of Mr Andy Guyton, who is based in East Anglia. This chap is the very same chap employed by Brian May to build his replica 'red specials' - no, not the cheapy ones from soundcontrol.. the ones with 3 noughts after the price tag!

Well.. I figure that if Mr May can entrust his personal guitar to the man.. thats good enough for me!

Anyway.. top bloke.. check him out..

Hammmmmmm thats a gawd aweful noise!!

Big Bottom - Spinal Tap.


I think the bass pretty much has a monopoly on that track! ;o)

In a departure from my usual selection, todays choice will be the awesome playing on Thomas Lang's version of the classic "Me and Mrs Jones." The bass is right in your face all the way through. "Mwwwwwwwaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh" like it is urging to get out of the speakers and onto your lap!

I'm getting a bit of an old skool vibe too! cool!

Most Alesis rack units run from 9Vac. I am in agreeance with Andy though, you'd be fine running 9Vac into said unit,as long as the current the PSU is supplying is enough. Usually specified in milliamps (mA). To be honest, if you pick up a cheap AC transformer and measure the out put with a DMM etc, you'll find the output can sway + and - of the specified value anyway. I have had 9V units reading in excess of 14V lol!!

I have a question!

ok, from what I can see in the manual, one channel has bass and treble controls, the other has a middle tone control. So, you can boost/cut bass and treble but the mid stays the same on one channel.. t'other one you can cut/boost the mids but not the bass and treble. So, if you use both channels at the same time, cutting the bass mid and treble from the zero position in theory will have little effect as the other channel without that control will negate the drop in volume at the affected frequency.

I hope this makes sense! - I'd want the eq sections to all be in series, so when I scoop the middle out, it isnt still 'there' in the other channel's signal.

(I havent had a chance to play with the pedal.. this is all theoretical, using the manual as a guide,)

[quote name='The Funk' post='31026' date='Jul 13 2007, 12:21 AM']Looking forward to it. I know my guitarist will love it - he's very much of a metal background. I can't listen to a lot of metal (just 'cos of the shout/scream vocal and some of the thrash drum grooves) but your stuff isn't like that. Just sounds like good prog rock to me without the flowery self-indulgent stuff.[/quote]


Thank you! I really appreciate your views. Yes, the first listen or two can sound a bit hard on the ole lugs, but there really is melody in there and I thank ya for spending a moment to listen to the choons.

I was reading a comment the other day from a chap who listen to about 10 seconds of one song and decided that all of it was quote 'widdley sh*t'. Now.. I love my prog and we really enjoy doing stuff to challenge us.. mebbe a bit endulgent! but I like to think that its well constructed and interesting ;o)

Cheers again,

You gotta love Tony Levin's way with words!

Does anyone have one, near Norfolk? I'd love to hear one in action.

Ah! Answered my question! I wanted to know if the pre could happily drive a power amp too!

Gary, yes I'd be the same! Just thinking out loud at the moment.

Is posting the amp an option Gary?

£90 delivered. sorry folks!!

Interestingly, my guitarist played all the keyboard prts on his album, but has recently paired his gear up with a MIDI pickup to play said keyboard sounds. I'm really impressed! I'd like to have a play with a decent MIDI bass set up. I'm intrigued by that.

SO is Doctor de'Ath ^^^^

I guess the actor Harry Shearer should get a mention for being Derek Smalls from the legendary Spinal Tap. Is there any program he hasn't been in? [url="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0790434/"]http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0790434/[/url]

Thank you so much! We are 'off the road' temporarily, but will be back out later in the year with the material and some awesome musicians joining us.

In the meantime, there's more on Andy's site as well.. just click on 'Andy James ' in our 'friends'

The night before you go pick it up is the worst. You won't sleep a wink. I didn't. [/quote]


Absolutely so true! That was a night to remember! I could not sleep! Doodle took 9 months to complete, not including the extra four months I took in designing, long before saw touched wood.

9 months.. you really could call that a 'birth' of a new bass!

I dont think Mike would be too proud to build a BFM for anyone. Hell, it'd be good to see someone doing that. I'd prefer to leave it to a pro to be honest.

Its worth asking!

evil! plain evil! lol lol... If the amp is immaculate, then this is a really good price still.


granny? granny! are you there???
