  1. I can't listen to the clip - is it Hawaii 5-0? The bass player was Ian Thomson, I think. Lovely chap, great player.
  2. It's a shame hearing about all these hissy ones... At this moment I'm in the a conservatory having an acoustic rehearsal and, although there is a hiss, it's barely noticeable. If I turn the output up to a level where hiss is audible, the actual output of the amp at that level is deafening. You would expect hiss at that volume.
  3. I have no experience of the TV12, but the Promethean is quite awesome...
  4. [quote name='Lfalex v1.1' timestamp='1331493272' post='1573748'] Agreed. But sadly lacking a pot of blend for the pick-ups. [/quote] I personally haven't missed one so far - the selector and the pull-pot do a great job.
  5. [quote name='mildmanofrock' timestamp='1331466215' post='1573110'] I'm guessing it's an active? I've never really got on with actives. The ones I've owned sounded a bit artificial and keyboardy. And I've had trouble with their high output distorting things in signal chains. I am, however, prepared to be persuaded otherwise. It's a beaut. [/quote] Nah... 100% passive. :-)
  6. [quote name='mildmanofrock' timestamp='1331464481' post='1573048'] Nice, what is it? [/quote] Fender Roscoe Beck. Both pups in single-coil mode, you have a Jazz. Solo the neck, and switch it to series, near-as-damn-it P. Both in series is just ridiculous. Laahvley.
  7. [quote name='skankdelvar' timestamp='1331306148' post='1571151'] TBH, they had me at [i]'explode the traditional mixer/outboard gear paradigm'[/i]. [/quote] To be fair though, all of Rush's lyrics are a bit flaky.
  8. [quote name='Clarky' timestamp='1331330995' post='1571667'] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T88fbHOmvRk[/quote] This song is ruined by the worst lead guitar I've heard on any song ever. It makes my toes curl...
  9. [quote name='BurritoBass' timestamp='1331057387' post='1567004'] Nice breathy vocal & the bass sounds up my street. Site looks good too. I'm guessing the drummer's not from Hounslow? [/quote] Thank you! Hounslow...? (I have the feeling I'm missing something here )
  10. [url="http://www.facebook.com/groups/157319877702238/"]Can't remember if you've joined up to this already, but if not...[/url]
  11. It sounds like he's suffering from watery pumps.
  12. He's on here. PM 'the bass doc'.
  13. Dunno who he is, but I knew I'd already seen [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/169966-ronnie-montrose-rip-age-64/page__view__findpost__p__1565233"]a thread about him[/url]..
  14. Hi all! A little while ago I spotted an ad for a singer songwriter who needed a band. I wasn't really looking for something, but I heard a couple of her songs and I was hooked. Somehow I've found the time between other stuff, got a couple of friends on-board, and we've now got an originals and a cover set rehearsed up. Here's our website: [url="http://www.rosieandthehips.co.uk/"]http://www.rosieandthehips.co.uk/[/url] ..and here's one of our songs, recorded at a recent acoustic gig: [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=THJ22v5cLmg"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=THJ22v5cLmg[/url] I'm looking forward to getting out-and-about with this one.
  15. Semi-professional, more than one band. I don't practice much, but I didn't get the chance to choose that. :-)
  16. That's what a P should sound like. Lovely.
  17. Yay Howard! He rocks.
  18. [quote name='hemispheresX' timestamp='1330696695' post='1561768'] Test for echo was a wicked album!!! Virtuality and limbo are two of my favourite rush songs!!! Such a shame they didnt include them on the live album from that tour. People who dont have bootlegs will never hear how good they sounded live... [/quote] [url="http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=rush+virtuality"]Fill yer boot(legs)....[/url] Virtuality is a terrible song, IMO...
  19. [quote name='Rick's Fine '52' timestamp='1330682395' post='1561369'] is '71 your YOB by any chance, or just coincidence you have those 3?? Just asking because it's also mine. [/quote] It's coincidence.. I'm a '72 vintage. Technically though, I suppose I began to exist in '71...
  20. I'm in! L-R: 1971 Precision, 1971 fretless Precision, Roscoe Beck IV, 1971 Jazz. By the way, I'm happy to note the use of the word 'settee' on this thread, rather than 'couch' or 'sofa'. I approve.
  21. Lots of Streamliner love here. Remember, one of the keys to this amp is never to be afraid to roll the lows off...
