    Fingernails

    nick replied to TimR's topic in General Discussion

    [quote name='Sammers' timestamp='1422366805' post='2671682'] I use the Bernard Edwards "chucking" method to get more attack if need it, I hate it when I can hear nail noise if I'm playing normally so I religiously keep my nails short-ish... I'm pants with a pick so it's a happy compromise for me [/quote] Same here, I like a bit of 'chucking' too... though I keep the nail on my index finger just a couple of mm longer than the rest (which are short) because of this.

    [quote name='CamdenRob' timestamp='1422286373' post='2670682'] I haven't read through this thread but I'm assuming the previous 41 posts is everyone saying their current rig is the best they have ever heard? [/quote] I guess so (for now)...

    Think I've been the most happy with my current set up '84 Tokai 'Hardpuncher' / '05 Fender 'Roadworn' 50's Precision > '91 Gallien Krueger 400RB II > Barefaced Compact

    [quote name='ambient' timestamp='1421690194' post='2664017'] [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Handmade-Optical-Compressor-Pedal-Demeter-Compulator-Clone-By-Jons-Boutique-/131406618386?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item1e9871df12"]http://www.ebay.co.u...=item1e9871df12[/url] [url="https://www.facebook.com/jonsboutiqueeffects?fref=ts"]https://www.facebook...effects?fref=ts[/url] Anyone tried any ? I'm looking for a Demeter Compulator and this came up on my search. [/quote] Not tried his effects, as like some others on here I build my own too However, I'm quite familiar with this circuit. For what he is charging, I think the price is more than fair. On top of the cost of the parts (that vactrol can be a PITA to get hold of) also taking into account the time taken to build this pedal, makes it a good deal IMHO. If I was after a compulator, I would buy it.

    I've built clone of the Zeibek Submarine which is based on Albert Kruezer's preamp - more stripped down version, very easy build. I like it, it's great little preamp. I use it a lot.

    Hi, could you please advise if this is the newer version of this cab, also weight & dims? Thanks Nick

    A Klon Centaur clone with a blend control...Good idea though.

    January Bumpage, with price reduction & possible delivery options!

    I use an old GK 400RB too, it's a fantastic little amp. One thing to know though, is that the 'Direct' out from these amps is unbuffered & comes straight off the power amp. When you're playing live, I'd imagine you're running that amp fairly hard, which results in that big GK signature growl, what I believe Robert Gallien refers to "hitting the rails" tone. Maybe in the studio, you're not running the amp as high as you would do when gigging? I'd go with Vail's suggestion, try disconnecting the speaker & run it pretty flat out, see if you're acheiving that tone you're after. Be wary though, these amps get hot!

    [quote name='JTUK' timestamp='1420041234' post='2645099'] Well, I loved his playing as well... and now I doubt he'll be back after the 'compression' thread Another TOP pro chased away... [/quote] I hope not... would be nice if he stayed around.

    Festive bumpage! Pair this up with the unloaded Marshall that I'm also selling and you'll have a wicked 'beater' cab

    Yuletide Bump...

    Very risky even in more stable times. I've bought relatively low value NOS Soviet components such as PIO caps, germanium diodes, transistors etc from there quite a few times. Sometimes they have (eventually) turned up. The other thing I noticed when visiting guitar shops over there & in Ukraine too, is the number of counterfeits being sold in some guitar shops. I've seen really shoddy copies of Musicman, PRS, Rickenbackers etc all being passed as the real deal and at prices significantly higher than in the West. I was kicked out of one shop when I asked where a Stingray I was trying out, had [i]really[/i] come from! I'm not suggesting for a moment that the shop you're thinking about buying from is up to such tricks, but it's something I would bare in mind when dealing with such outlets. The two words that come to my mind are 'barge-pole'

    Feedback for Paul S

    nick replied to Rowbee's topic in Feedback

    Paul bought my Harley Benton promethean clone amp from me. As always with Paul, was an easy transaction with no hassles. Recommended. Cheers Nick

    Like you, I like the tone of TI's but can't get on with the low tension. I'd suggest Sadowsky black label flats. Made by Labella to Roger Sadowsky's spec.s , but different sounding with more punchy mids & less thump than Labellas. Nice tension, lovely feel & great to play.

    [u][b]*SOLD* - Mods please remove, thanks*[/b][/u] [u][b]Marshall 1550 1x15" cab (empty)[/b][/u] [color=#0000ff][u][b]£20[/b][/u][/color] Structurally OK & solid, but some small tears, scuffs in the tolex & grill cloth has a small rip, hence price. Look quite old, maybe considered 'vintage' by some, maybe even 'roadworn'? Get a decent 15" driver in it and this would make an excellent cheap pub beater cab.These cabs are bombproof!

    [b]*SOLD*[/b] [u]Harley Benton BA500H : 500W Class D amp [/u] Bought this a couple of years ago as a backup, but ended up using it as a main amp for sometime. Done about 50 gigs with no issues, everything from pubs to weddings to festivals through my Barefaced - it's certainly held it's own. It's a great little amp, loud, punchy and a very versatile EQ. Virtually the same circuit as the much respected Ibanez Promethean, produced by the same manufacturer. Good Basschat review here: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/177376-harley-benton-ba500h-review/page__p__2590170__hl__ba500h__fromsearch__1#entry2590170"]http://basschat.co.u..._1#entry2590170[/url] I'm selling it as it's now surplus - got more amps than I need The amp is in excellent condition, no scratches or marks and comes with original box, manual etc. [url="http://s1087.photobucket.com/user/nickonbass69/media/BA500H001_zpsec70d629.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s1087.photobucket.com/user/nickonbass69/media/BA500H001B_zps388c412c.jpg.html"][/url] £100 collected from Bristol/Bath (£110 posted in UK) Please PM me if you have any questions, or would like any further info. Thanks
