[quote name='Pete Academy' post='1119385' date='Feb 7 2011, 08:33 PM']She's very underrated IMO.[/quote] Not in Chez Owen she isn't. She totally rules. Plantation Lullabies, Ben Folds 5 (1st album), Heavy Weather, Dark side of the moon, Corinne Bailey Rae (1st album). They are all truly great albums and totally do it for me. I cannot put them in order but they all always hit the spot. She is one of the great musicians.

It is that. I will take pics in a moment. Cosmetically, it has obviously spent a lot of time in someone's lead bag but seems to work just fine and dandy.

I walked into my local guitar emporium and unexpectedly walked out with this second hand. It is a very low wattage full valve head. 1 valve for gain and one valve for power. It has gain, 3 band EQ, bright switch and master. It is another "what was I thinking" purchase. It will do the whole overdriven valve thing with ease, driving the power stage nicely. £75 + carriage

[quote name='henry norton' post='1117520' date='Feb 6 2011, 11:57 AM']Yeah I'd go the fibre optic route as there's less messing around with solder joints and stuff, asides from only having one light draining the battery. You might find an entire array of LED's are much brighter than you'd need.[/quote] The fibre optic thing looks to be much more what I need, I don't want to be calling aircraft in to land

I really fancy LEDs in my 5 string Uke bass. [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=104007"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=104007[/url] Where do people buy them for a build? It's not like I am going to need many!

[quote name='leroybasslines' post='1114627' date='Feb 3 2011, 10:14 PM']Wel mamo damo! I wasn't aware that he was active on the Welsh language scene. That's brilliant - and a whole load of new stuff to put in the playlist! Thanks! I know he's a Cardiffian, but does he siarad dipyn bach o Cymraeg? Or is he so blummin good that he transcends barriers of language! Diolch byt! Hwyl.[/quote] Siarad Cymraeg? Dwn i ddim.. Pino speaks the international language of groove Croeso!

I think that the main question here is, can I actually watch this programme regularly in the UK?

[quote name='leroybasslines' post='1114136' date='Feb 3 2011, 05:00 PM']Add new stuff in if you can think of any. I play along to this playlist as a practise session![/quote] The main album from his period on the Welsh language scene is actually available on Spotify, but as part of a 3cd compilation by the artist Endaf Emlyn. The songs to hunt out (just copy and paste them one at a time) are Paranoia Endaf Emlyn Un Nos ola' Leuad Endaf Emlyn Nol i'r Fro Endaf Emlyn Aros am y Dyn Endaf Emlyn Cerona Endaf Emlyn Dawnsionara Endaf Emlyn This one in particular for a rare actual solo between 2:38 and 2:56 with a frankly beguiling run out of it to lead into the following sax solo. I've been listening to it for over quarter of a century and I still get a real kick from it. Saff yn y Fro Endaf Emlyn Arwyr Estron Endaf Emlyn 'Rola Endaf Emlyn He is also featured on the tracks Ladi Wen Caryl Parry Jones Saf ar dy draed Caryl Parry Jones

I saw something similar on some green custom job in BP a few years before and thought "I'm having that".

A long time ago I fancied a Tobias. I could not afford one. I also wanted a 5 string with a 35" scale. They were like hen's teeth. So I made one. Bernie G made me a neck - Birds Eye Maple, ebony board and abalone dots. I photocopied a Tobias picture and took it down to the woodyard with my one piece Ash body blank. The body was cut. The local luthier routed the necessary. I loaded it up with 2 x EMG 40J soapbars and an EMG bass/treble circuit (Vol/Bal/Stacked B+T). I finished the body with Ronseal all-in-one wood finish - "dries to the touch in 20 minutes" (it did). I had 6 screws in the neck joint because it was better - obv Ritter has been influenced by my lutherie. Bernie decided that the spec I had given him (Jazz spacing at the bridge) was not what I needed so made it thinner. I had bought the bridge already so had to move the saddles inward to get it to fit. The G is pretty close to the edge as you get higher up. So is the B, but, hey, who plays at the 14 fret on the B? Gohto bridge and machines inc a D tuner on the B. It is what it is and I will not pretend that it is in super nick or whatever, but I reckon it is worth £300. If it does not go then I will not be devestated because it holds quite a lot of sentimental value, but I simply have too many basses. When I can get my stupid computer to recognise the last import of pics I will upload them.

the news cordes Lambert: gut twin and gut twin '47
Owen replied to tiki613's topic in EUB and Double Bass
Lovely plucking hand action going on there. I will have to learn how to do that stuff. It would totally make up for my lame soloing.
