  1. The Thoman t-amps seems well spec'd for the prices. Does anyone use one?

    I've read elsewhere that these are the same as C-Mark amps?

  2. Is it this Yardbird: [url="http://myspace.com/theyardbirdbirmingham"]http://myspace.com/theyardbirdbirmingham[/url] ? Is this their only site?

    A couple of other Midlands jazz gig sites:

  3. Try this at low volume:

    Connect speakers back to line-out from the soundcard. Can you take a pre-out from the BT into the soundcard mic-in? Or connect the headphone out into the sound-card line-in? Unfortunately I have no idea what a Tascam BT is.

  4. Allow for 25% and plus £10 for the privilege. If it's small and fits in a UPS priority envelope it stands a better chance of getting through from the USA (and it helps if the sender declares it's value as less than $38 USD). Once it goes above £18 [i]they [/i] (Customs) also include the delivery cost in the "value" of the item.

    In my experience you'll receive the item OK and then 2 weeks later you get a nice letter from DHL asking for a fat cheque.

  5. King Tubby.

    [quote](b. 1941, d. 1989) The Dub Pioneer and remix Godfather. In the 70s Tubby's sonic science transformed the way music was made and listened to in Jamaica and around the world. Studio boffins everywhere are in his debt.[/quote]

    One or two records to chose from:

    I can't find the link but there's an interesting article out there on the titles of scientist, prince, king etc. in relation to Jamaican music.

  6. If you can read/ translate Japanes there are a few sites that look cheap:

    And Ishibashi as already mentioned: [url="http://www.ishibashi.co.jp/u_box/"]http://www.ishibashi.co.jp/u_box/[/url]


    Why did they waste our time at school teaching us Latin, French and German?

    And a search engine for Japanese music shops:

  7. Boring? No! All the posts offer useful, insightful stuff. Using Rapper's Delight as your example is a big help; I'll need to read and try it out a few times but it all makes sense (how easy it is to do is another matter).

    I've borrowed a copy of the Ed Friedland book and will also aim to use that as well.

    Halfway there- all the right notes but not quite at the right time :)

  8. Bach do cheap, good basses and delivery is quick. Their websites are [url="http://www.bachmusik.com/en/"]http://www.bachmusik.com/en/[/url], [url="http://www.bachguitars.de/"]http://www.bachguitars.de/[/url] and also on ebay.de
