RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE

Washburn status , if you can find one ( gotta lose the head tho')

[quote name='CamdenRob' timestamp='1374954462' post='2155264'] I always though they kinda sounded like someone playing an acoustic bass with a duvet stuffed inside it... still each to their own I guess... Rob [/quote] Just me & you hen Rob

I do like the look of Trace amps tho' .

Interesting thread this .

[quote name='Thornybank' timestamp='1374918271' post='2154733'] Dull and muddy. Hmmm.... Not in my experience. Doug Wimbish has been playing Trace since forever. Try some early Tackhead. [/quote] Heard the name, will check them on you tube

Didnt know much about him ( except for that song). Rip anyway

[quote name='CamdenRob' timestamp='1374851801' post='2154092'] I did my school 'work experience' in the Trace factory when I was 14. In between packing stuff into boxes and doing regular paid staffs jobs whilst they sat around drinking tea and talking about arsenal, I tried out pretty much the entire range at the time (late 90s) To be honest I was distinctly underwhelmed and have stayed clear of Trace ever since. I tried out a friends Ashdown a few years back and that also sounded suitably muffled and wooly. Give me a nice bright GK sound instead... Rob This madee laugh;) . What I found about TE is that, they look great and sound good on pokey rehearsal rooms but sound dull and thuddy at gigs and at home [/quote]

Gary pucket , with a p. right?

They don't need 11

[quote name='charic' timestamp='1374697352' post='2152137'] There are smaller ones in the series [/quote] I'll look into it . Cheers

Wonder if they'd play the uk again?

Well, one of the songs I did on my very first gig ...deeply dippy right said Fred .,another gig, w did I will survive. So, after that, you could play just about anything.

[quote name='Bilbo' timestamp='1374694340' post='2152071'] I do find most pop and rock doesn't come off too well after a point. Jazz, folk, classical, even Blues, all seem to feel ok but older guys playing a lot of rock n pop genres look a bit 'sad' to me. I recently saw the Michael Schenker group. MS played great but posturing looks seriously iffy. [/quote] Schenker . Met him a couple of times . Seriously lost the plot . As well as his crazy sister, who takes her budgie everywhere .

[quote name='spongebob' timestamp='1374694035' post='2152063'] We often do 'Messing With The Kid'!! [/quote] Class !

[quote name='charic' timestamp='1374692172' post='2152027'] Warning... its 2m long! http://www.thomann.de/gb/studiorta_producer_station.htm [/quote] Ahh, just a bit too long cheers for the info

[quote name='charic' timestamp='1374676309' post='2151698'] Here's an old one of mine [/quote] Nice desk. That's exactly what I need

[quote name='leftybassman392' timestamp='1374672061' post='2151610'] [i][i]'Good Morning little Schoolgirl' ?[/i][/i] [/quote] As well as not liking it , this song has seriously dodgy connotations

Longview's a pretty cool song( and bassline). So many people ignore or don't take much notice of lyrics anyway.It'll make a refreshing change from basket case and American idiot. (Great songs that more or less every covers band has done) . Just make sure you avoid brown eyed girl.

Bon jovi, def Leppard , Eric Clapton ,pantera

Joni Mitchell ,rancid,( don't hate them- but havent heard a good track yet), James addiction, korn, papa roach,yes,Motown , level 42, clash, jam

When I was first learning to play, I was taught by a ( very good) guitarist. He told me to play lightly and turn amp up. When I saw a teacher, he told me to play real hard on the strings . This thread has got me thinking.

Can't listen to it , because off the sitar. Ding ding ding, all the bloody time . That instrument alone ruins everything for me. Yes a bass would be way cooler .

[quote name='Dingus' timestamp='1374518200' post='2149645'] Glad to hear you are using stands , Ray . Those BW's are a quality speaker and deserve to be head at their best . If you see a REL Quake sub , or, even better , a REL Stampede , going on Ebay for reasonable money then they are a great bet . REL subs stand out because they are equally good for music in a stereo system as they are for home cinema , and are specifically designed to be so . Those models I mention are from the mid 2000's and although now discontinued were fantastic products that have become classics in their own right . Either would serve you well in your flat and , although small and unobtrusive in size , would be ample for your needs . It also helps that REL are a Britsh company that can help with spares and servicing , if the need arises . [/quote] I 'll check them out for sure.thanks
