  1. [quote name='dood' post='241435' date='Jul 17 2008, 12:54 AM']my mate would do the same with his estate car, but used both sides of the PA and subs hooked up to his car amps. Ya know, I have to admit, it really did sound amazing and clear... so very loud, but it never hurt your ears. Strange! Infact, it was so loud, you actually couldnt hear yourself talk![/quote]


    Cool!!
    I,m looking at my 8x10,s and thinking they,ll fit in the volvo 940.

    Blast it!!!
    I,m gonna have to learn that now!!!!
    I,m hooked, listened to it a dozen times already!!!!

  3. [quote name='cheddatom' post='235757' date='Jul 9 2008, 02:52 PM']Everyone agreed, at least by 1995 that the 80s was the worse ever decade for style.[/quote]

    Well I never agreed!!!
    I loved the eighties, the music and styles that were around.
    If you take anything from the eighties you can immediatly recognise it, it was the last decade of any recognisable style regardless of wether it was good or bad, everything since has had no definable look or sound that was ever so clear, sure loads of good stuff has come since but If I had a time machine I,d love to go back to 1980 and do it all again, and probably the late 60,s and early 70,s.
    I still have my drop sleeved leather jacket. :-)

  4. [quote name='Alpha-Dave' post='232483' date='Jul 4 2008, 09:53 AM']Lol, nice one.

    IIRC last time I saw your rig, you had 4 8*10s, did you feel that wasn't enough so needed the extra pair? Which mug helps you lift/move those?[/quote]


    Hehe!
    I borrowed a couple from ampegs hire stock to compete with the 24 Marshall cabs that tony and nick had got planned for their side of the stage.
    Hopefully the video that we used them for for 'blindside' will be finished soon and up with the others on our site.
    We did a really funny scene with me using a body harness slipping across the stage trying to play into the blast from the backline.
    Paul.


    The whole kit and caboodle.

  5. A lot of my sound comes from the way I fret notes on my left hand, I always press very hard I use a lot of string vibrato wether it be pressing the string hard against the back of the fret or pulling the bugger across the board and have a tendency to really bend a note up prior to fretting one higher.
    I also use a very hard to find pick, hi modulus graphite picks ( the ones with the little cannabis logo,s on them) the original factory burned down (apparently) in the late eighties and i went round all the guitar shops buying up all the 1.00mm thick ones, still have around thirty original unused ones for gigs and recording and I used the pick boy copies for rehearsal.

  6. Go for it man!!
    you never know you may find it,s the thing you always wanted...
    I learned to play on a ric copy and now I own the real thing it has convinced me that it,s the sound I,ve been trying for years to attain. If only they made a six string with an f#......

  7. Hugh Manson has been around building guitars as far as I can remember since back in the early eighties.
    I first met him around 1985 and his guitars are some of the finest I,ve ever seen.
    He is the man behind all those wonderfully technical guitars used by Matt Bellamy from Muse.
    I,d be very suprised if you were not completely happy with anything done by him.
    Hope this helps.

  8. Back in the early ninties I was working as a sound engineer at Samurai rehearsal studios in london and had the pleasure of meeting manfred mann and used to hear the singer ( I can,t remember who he was) sing revved up....... every day for a week.

  9. Good luck with the sale of the pedals man it,s just that I thought it might be worth mentioning Velcro, great stuff for fixing pedals to boards and you can buy heavy duty stuff too.

    Saves drillin ,oles in the pedals.

    :-)

  10. I was going to post this yesterday but i wasn,t too sure about wether I was right or not but ahh here goes..
    I think the reason the 'skunk stripe' is there is because some of the rosewood boards are much thinner than some of the boards known as 'slab' boards that are more of a slab than a veneer so the truss rods are fitted thru the back as a veneer board would not cover the routed channel of the truss rod.
    does this make sense.
    I,ve been in the pub all day!!

  11. Those little palmer boxes can cure all sorts of weird noises that you can come up against, we recently hada problem with a click from our sequencer coming thru to the monitor desk which appeared to be coming from our drummers mixer altho there was no signal being sent from his end exept for a bass drum signal from his roland drum pad and it turned out that the signal was getting thru due to an earthing loop.
    I took my plo1 from my effects chain and put it befrore his input into the monitor desk and poof ! it was gone.
    you notice as well just how quiet your signal is with one of these last in line of your signal path before the amp input.
    we luv ,em.

  12. Try one of these, we use these little babys on all our audio chains before the amp inputs, doesn,t need a battery and works like magic.
