Smells Like The 90s? you can have that, free!

Thanks Roland. Since it was all I had in the house I decided to try it anyway. Still a bit gloopy but going in the right direction!

Mine has gone a bit gloopy, would white spirit do? I left the lid ajar last night and could do with getting another wipe on tonight. Cheers MBA

Leticia Sadier (Stereolab) used something very similar for her vocals when we supported her. I think it was by Meyer.

Just as a sideline, does anyone have any idea what kind of fuzz pedal RS would have used back then? I always liked his fuzz sound, just not Phil Miller's. Trying to remember what was around then, MXR, Electroharmonix, Coloursound, Fuzzface? Cheers MBA

Well, the power stage IS all valve!

You have to crank them (CTM15) right up to hear them alongside a drummer, and with the input gain down and master up almost maxed, all you hear is the power stage distortion anyhow, so whether the pre is SS is moot really. With the front end turned up it gets overdrivey and fuzzy pretty quickly. I rehearsed with mine into 2 12" cabs in a small room with drums + guit and it was about right, though I was stood right next to it at chest height. The chaps could hear it and liked it. It sounds really nice with guitar too.

I'm curious, why do Mustangs command higher prices? Apart from the pickup, is there much difference in construction? They look similar, I've played Musicmasters, never a Mustang though. Cheers MBA

A lot of places will rewind pickups, it may even be repairable without a rewind. Worth looking into if you can't find one to fit.

I don't think that's quite what the article said.

Nobody has mentioned that Duran Duran's bass sound was dreadful. all mids and nothing else. Disappointing, I thought.

^^^ is that a euphemism?

Maybe it's FUN?

How about one in the MM position, one in the p (sweet spot) and one in the woofer spot? That would cover a lot of bases, and basses.

I ended up hairdrying it on the guitar and pressing it down with my fingers, which worked pretty well. I pressed one bit down with a glass, which didn't go so well as it left Slight impression. Won't do that again!

The squire and Ashdown ain't too bad either

Any mistake can be fixed, one way or another. Just take care, it will be fine.

Freddy, where's your photo taken?

International standard match fitness!

It wouldn't have sounded the same played on guitar, the envelope of the notes is just different. I thought it was pleasant great tone, a nice chilled start to the morning.

I was thinking "Caramac" myself. Mmmm!

I've recently found adding a link ina reply freezes the page, this is using w8 and explorer. Is this a current known issue? Tried it on 2 different PCs, home and work

I've had my hankering for the Yamaha SGV range rekindled by the new Dr. Who series: SGV300 in canary yellow is nice.

Wow! That's some serious birdseye!
