  1. Very much so Pete! Sorry we didn't hang about to chat, but the Mrs wanted to get on. I can't recommend the band enough to anyone who hasn't seen you and is an SD fan. A great night out!
  2. Wow,my SG special is on p30! Never seen any literature relating to this model before! Mini humbuckers _ mmm
  3. Yes, if the nut is cut so the strings don't make final contact at the very edge on the fingerboard side, with intonation set correctly at the 12th fret, the fiirst few frets will sound noticably sharp, gradually getting less so up the neck.
  4.

Great on frets too! You can do it without taking the strings off.
  5. sounds like someone has already put a shim in the neck, just at the wrong end of the pocket!. I had exactly this on a cheap telecaster I bought off ebay recently. Some people, eh?
  6. Got my tickets! Any other Basschat bods going along?
  7. [quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1391084151' post='2353005'] However the Rockbass version is only 32" scale while the Warwick ones are the full 34". [/quote] Not necessarily a bad thing if you're after a smooth, thumpy tone...
  8. No worries, I had flu last week and found myself exploring some bits of basschat I don't often get to! I put a tune up by Charms Against the Evil Eye that no one has commented on yet.... As you said, it good to get a different set of ears on it, by the time you've mixed a tune, you've heard it so many times that it's hard to be objective about it any more!
  9. Not bad, nice sounding vocals. I thought the bass sounded a little thin tone wise, liked the bass tone in the second tune better. Something about the drum fills didn't flow right at times too, but pretty good on the whole.
  10. Only listened to the first track, sounds pretty good! Maybe the vocals could be a bit higher in the mix, but I always find that hard to judge on my own stuff.
  11. I was off Ill recently and set my fretless up as low as it would go, no buzzing, great! I used it at a practice and the tone was just not there, seems I play harder than I thought in the band, and the notes were choking at band intensity.
  12. Ooh, I'll try to get along as you don't seem to play in this neck of the woods that often. Anyone else? Jules
  13. Good result! Nice fix. Well done you.
  14. Another favourite is putting a lead into the effects send and return sockets as oxidised contacts can also mute the output.
  15. Is there a speaker output fuse somewhere (possibly internal)?
  16. If you could outline the issue, someone (!) might decide that it may be worth taking a look at.
  17. Really nice tasteful playing across all your bands Stef, top drawer! Jules
  18. I get what you mean, it's just that I thought the ride and crash sounded somewhat disconnected from the rest of the kit when listening on headphones
  19. I love the way they matched the grain and the body curve on this, nicely done. G.l.w.t.s
  20. Recorded in my garage last year. I thought I'd put it up for critique. See what you think... [url="https://audioboo.fm/boos/1743611-charms-against-the-evil-eye-icthyophagus"]https://audioboo.fm/...ye-icthyophagus[/url]
  21. Good results, 1 question, the cymbals sound very wide,were the internal mics panned hard left and right at mix?
  22. Ok, I'll chip in if I may. I listened to l.t.r and black and gold, and I think most of the problem IS the drums. In l.t.r. the bass drum stops during all the fills an breaks up the feel or lock with the bass. In b+g the bass is right on top of the beat pushing it and the drums are slightly back of it. At the start the hihat pattern sounds in that odd no mans land between straight eights and a dotted feel. The playing and singing is good, I suspect the monitoring during recording isolated you and the drums and lost the lock at times. I really hope you take the comments as trying to help, as they do read a bit harsh! All the best, Jules
  23. Might be a bit tricky if it's pcb mounted but not insurmountable as you have skills. Once you've got into it it may be obvious what the issue really is.
  24. You never know. I've got a friends Marshall that looks similar vintage but is only 30W and 2x12, and is really not that good (lots of issues on the PCB, now sorted) but it is loaded with 2 Celestion Greenback speakers, the "vintage" ie '70s ones are quite sought after by guitarists and go for quite good money.
  25. Sound pretty good to my ears. The Mrs liked it too. Got any live outings? the website wasn't showing anything in 2014
