strengthen nails for acoustic guitar?
JottoSW1 replied to Jean-Luc Pickguard's topic in General Discussion
Johnny Hiland goes to his Nailbar, imagine you could check out your nearest reopened ones for their heavier duty options. -
Aand just got it back from a clean up / set up with new d'Addario Black Tapewounds, Fret Polish. Sounds absolutely great and plays beautifully. Low B sounds enormous, a perfect match with a Trace Ah500x / Epifani UL501. Been playing it most of last weekend. Even prefer it to my Sire M2. !!!!
-
Yes. Epifani UL212 bought secondhand. Am in love with it.
-
Yes. I checked out the history a bit, the guys name was Steve Goodrick. Been playing with it today, sounds very good indeed. Big old lump of a thing, lighter than my Trace though.😅 Sounds absolutely lovely through my Epifani and am Itching to get my KSD back from Luthiers. However, need to get a tonepocket or similar, keep on neglecting to use my practice Amp & I live in a Flat !!! Headphones time B4 the neighbours start a petition.

Obscure/Unsuccessful. Took a punt on this v cheap. Sounds very nice, valve pre seems pretty good eq a bit complex for me. Compressor useful. Not sure it's 800w loud, not that this is (or ought to be) a problem. Anyone else seen/tried one, if so did YOU like it.

+1. Budgie never really registered with me back in the day. Heard them on an OGWT rerun a few years ago. He was a really strong singing bassist. Gather sadly that he has really severe health problems nowadays.
-
Yes, would like to hear that with a nice preamp etc. Being a Luddite and hobbyist am over invested in trad Amps Cabs presently. Primarily lightweight Cabs admittedly.
-
Isopropyl Alcohol. Good for tapeheads etc too (non perfumed match)

Many moons ago recall a studio owner pal having some major hassles with some of their power amps mind.

Budget basses that are way better than their prices suggest

Types often seen toddling around C London on Harley Davidsons with overloud exhausts and bolt on mean man expressions.😆😆 -

Purpleheart seems to be a Kiesel "thing" at the moment. Saw a guitar top there that simply looked like chopped red cabbage to me. Owner was not "impressed" when I pointed this out. Do love some of the Kiesel / Carvin basses mind. -
Borrow some birch twigs from the local sauna. Must admit I've found the Qsc items that have been on sale here fascinating.

Thanks for the edit, I can now rationalise / justify my recent amps & cabs splurge. Seem to now have options for any conceivable occasion for sure.🤣🤣 -

Like with hi fis I guess the law of diminishing returns does apply. There's a furniture aspect with the high end stuff. Sometimes I wince a bit at the endangered tropical hardwoods thing. Some of the stuff on the Kiesel FB page gets a bit grotesque. -

+1 for last 3. Some alright old Washburn's too (scavenger for pbass) -

My Sire M2 5str (Gen2). Second hand £200. Would like an M7 for the additional switching options but over £500 new. M2 probably the nicest "modern" bass for the money, though I haven't tried the Harley Benton option. Unlikely to happen, have 4 basses and am now saving for one more only (👌😅). After a Luthier bill has been paid. -
Yikes - did the foolish office entanglement (twice). Have to give this a listen

If you were capable of that you'd potentially be able to save a lot on loo-roll 🤣🤣😆 -

Seems uncomfortably appropriate at the moment - what with the posturing @ Mount Rushmore.

One of a Kind - Bill Bruford. The excellent Jeff Berlin on Bass

Just found some TE Knobs in a friend's spares collection, but only white ones. Also had a play with my expanding collection of Cabs. AH500x power stage split both full range into 1) Laney N410 + N115 2) Epifani UL212 (4 ohm cab). A recent purchase from @Berserker. Hee hee hee. My meglomaniacal plans for world domination are complete 😀🤣🤣. Trace drove this lot without a hint of a problem. Thanks @stewblack. Epifani sounds bloody awesome on its own @ 500watts too.
