Just bought a Ray34 which is a carbon copy of the SR4 I used to own and sold on. Here's the strange thing - it feels a bit better to play than the USA SR4 I had. Also (and it's early days, i've not gigged it yet), it doesn't seem to have the brittle top end mine used to have. It's a bit weird buying a copy of the bass you used to own though - think I'm going Back To The Future.

PM'd

Squier Jazz - took your fingers off the strings and it buzzed like a swarm of angry wasps. Nice body though, should have kept it and tried to make it less anti-social.

Actually, reminds me of an ex-girlfriend.

For any potential buyers, these are equiv in build quality to Lakland Skylines, IMHO.

I was very interested in ther recent live video which was basically them in awesome underwear. Even the bass players equipment did NOT distract me.[/quote]

Hey Tom - just a thought. Don't spose you fancy straight swapping this for a Trace Elliot head do you? An AH300-12. Don't use it, since I got my Hartke.

Rohypnol for the wife, for when it gets delivered.

Check out a LH500. Mine sounds great.

I don't need it, but I want it.

Help.

I've have another fiddle with the EQ on the LH500, before letting it go if I were you. I wouldn't say it was a bright amp, more spongey, if that's a word. Sure you know already - but 12 o'clock on the EQ isn't flat. Try 3, 9, 12 (from L-R) and see if you like that better.

Great pics, nice colour.

[quote name='Linus27' post='708670' date='Jan 11 2010, 11:38 AM']Anyone remember the music shop that used to be along the A30 in Camberley up by the old cinema. It got burnt down under suspicious circumstances. I think one of the guys who worked there/part owned it, an older bald guy went and opened Intune Music in Little Sandburst.[/quote]
Know the place you mean. It was called Music Makers, I think.

Recommend a Rode NT1A. £100 buys you a great condenser mic that seems to work really well with home recording. Really fresh, crisp warm sound.

People on here will know more about this that me, but a good pre-amp apparently can make a real difference to the overall sound.

Try setting the mic up inside a wardrobe full of clothes. Seems to be a good way to get a nice dead sound.

Loving my LH500.

That's a great pre-Xmas bargain for someone Moos3h.

Well done - those Traces seem prone to a dry joint. But once working, sound great.

[quote name='Commando Jack' post='691384' date='Dec 22 2009, 11:56 AM']Fans by Kings of Leon. It's my dancing song [/quote]
Sex On Fire too. Very simple but mix of sparse verse/chugging choruses is fun to play.

Gangsters - The Specials

Simple enough minor riff but really drives the song.

Great amps - really pleased with mine. Warm punchy sound. Doddle to use too - almost Fisher Price in their simplicity.

It's a tricky song that involves a bit of ghosting - i.e. playing dead notes. Start by practicing slowly and build up. There's a neat bit of software called the Amazing Slow Downer which'll help. Google will find it for you.

+1 I try to go to smaller places now. Went to see Shed 7 on Sunday at the Bristol Academy. Great small venue and the sound was really good. Band were on top form too. Great energy and musicianship. Great tunes too. Recommend catching them before they finish the current tour.

Wins the prize for the strangest 'For Sale' ad. How about putting a pic and a price of the stuff you want to sell?

Oh dear, did I miss the X-Factor final?

Thanks to this site, my meeting of strangers in car parks has increased dramatically.

Sibob wasn't up for adventure, he just wanted the cab.

After meeting Sibob in a car park in Bracknell, he's now in possession of the southern Compact. Enjoy.
