  1. I regularly gig without a compressor. It invariably ends in hordes of incredulous gig goers RIOTING IN PROTEST because I've ruined their night.
  2. Aaand... here was mine. It really light. It was lush. But I found myself running it in 'P' config 95% of the time, without ever quite sounding exactly like a P. so I sold it and bought another P.
  3. Electricity's in short supply since the Beast from the East, y'know!
  4. ..by the way, I have a quiet couple of weeks, so if anyone on Tyneside-ish would like to give it a run out, let me know. I'm not sure what the plans are for it after Lezsek prises it out of my fingers - I'll find out.
  5. OK - so I've also done a couple of gigs with this head into a single 8ohm TKS 1x12. The first one was a party in a hotel with a full band. I had PA support, but no bass in the monitors, so I had to turn up to give a bit of stage coverage. Last night's gig was with a lively, energetic acoustic trio in a packed, noisy pub. No drums, but the bass has to be there because it's down to me to drive it. The WB-100 puts 120w into 8ohm, too - my goodness it kicks. It's tactile, rich and fat. At both gigs I half-expected to hit its ceiling, but I'm amazed at how solid it sounded. 120 old-school watts goes a LONG way. It's just gorgeous.
  6. Great basses. Custom shop quality - one of Fender's better crazy ideas.
  7. Use my Transferwise affiliate link, and you'll get a free transfer up to £500. And it's dead easy to use :-)
  8. That's what I thought was supposed to happen, but every time I engaged the pedal there was an instant change in the tone.. strange. At the time, I was running it straight into a poweramp.
  9. I'm pretty sure this isn't the case - I wrestled for around a year with mine (and the Para, which I had a similar issue with). In the end I picked up an EBS Microbass II, which had all the functionality and more, but left the mids untouched. That's not to diss the SansAmp - it's excellent at what it does if that's your thang.
  10. I've just had to ask Mrs. WoT to confirm that she can see this too, as I was convinced I was hallucinating.
  11. Thanks for contributing. It might be my failing memory, but I seem to recall engaging the SansAmp with the blend rolled off still introduced a noticeable change in the mids...?
  12. It's got a very baked-in tone - if you like it, you're in luck. I couldn't get on with the mid-suck.
  13. Well, the truth is it might sound a bit bare you you, but to everyone else it'll just sound.. right. I'd maybe do an E > F# > G walk-up behind the vocal into the G. Or a C, C > D > G.. that kind of thing. But whatever I did, it would be fleeting 'cos foot-fifth is king on that tune.
  14. Yup. And the quote in the ad in the music mags... was it someone from Biffy Clyro? - 'These headphones are cool as f***!' SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY
  15. The headphones thing made me laugh. Deary me.
  16. Hopefully they'll get someone in who can give them a bit of a shake...
  17. A European invasion... Limelight '67 P relic Maruszczyk Jake PJ Custom HandBox WB-100 120w valve head TKS S212 cab How I love it all so.
  18. Hmm.. not sure if you misread my post, but.. hearing this for the first time, my first thought is: 'That's got to be a bugger to play right'.
  19. Ah, you're right. I've just checked the SPL handling of both, and the Rode wins. I've got a Videomic, but it rarely gets used because the preamp in my camera is too noisy. I might couple it with something else...
  20. I would argue that 'What is Hip' is neither well-known, nor on the face of it does it not appear to be too much of a problem :-)
  21. This may be a bit obvious, bu I have a lot of luck with the various Zoom recorders.
  22. BTW.. those marks on the back? Classic example of 'left in a case, lying on a curly lead'.
  23. £1200 is reasonable even if it was stripped. it looks like ash. Coupled with the black guard (if original) this suggests it might well have been natural at birth.
  24. That's a very good price indeed. Well done.
