After waiting over 9 months for delivery since I paid for it my Marshall fridge has finally arrived. Now I do not have to walk all the way from my studio room to the utility room or the kitchen to get a drink. Real man cave furniture!!

If you think that bridge looks big you obviously have not seen a Babicz [attachemnt as on my Warmoth P]

1 month into the wait and it's torture..... my old cab has been sold and I have been using a Peavey TNT115 in rehearsals We are due to do some recording in a couple of weeks to lay down the next 4 songs for our new album and I was hoping to mic this cab rather than DI and amp sim.... I HATE WAITING

[quote name='iceonaboy' timestamp='1366203212' post='2049527'] I had the most amazing bout of GAS after seeing another post about the Fender Cabronita P bass and thought, I gots to have one! There does not seem to be any in stock anywhere! I found Guitar Guitar doing them and ordered one, but the guy says now it will be first two weeks in May before they get them in. Im away back to work on the 7th! I cant wait that long for it! It will be unbearable! [/quote] Dawsons are reporting that they have stock

Thing is Noel hasn't signed it yet....

FWIW mine is in. Can i just say that this thread is my favourite source of fun on the interweb. Thank you for making this game.

Are you going to normalise these?? K-14 mix is very quiet!!

Am i right in thinking that the Voxengo SPAN only meters the peak with the lights, if so what is the horizontal red bar? Is that a measure of headroom? The RMS figure displayed to the lower left of the UI always seems lower than the metered lights so i assume the meter shows peak rather than RMS. Just trying to be sure I am not going to render to too high a level. I don't know what issues others are having with this but some of the things I am finding tricky are: The overheads are very lively, the ride and crashes are difficult to keep under control without getting them sounding too thin and indistinct or too loud and overbearing. Getting some thwack back into the over processed snare has hurt my brain. Giving the sidestick enough life without it being taken over by the bleed (which is actually louder than the stick) is tricky. The toms have a ring which I am struggling to isolate I have never mixed an upright bass before. It behaves vastly differently from electric bass, as it is far 'softer'. There are a few resonances in there which 'take over' if you are not careful. Getting it to sit solidly in the mix is challenging, Getting the interplay between AC3, the fiddle. the mandolin. the dobro and the vocals without everything sitting on top of each other has involved a few bits of trickery... I did not realise how much the banjo is a rhythm instrument rather than a melodic instrument until i tried to do this. I am at the stage now where I have a first draft and am playing it on a few other systems before I decide whether to submit it or not, After my over mid heavy entry last month i am determined not to be caught out twice.

Do you want peak or RMS Zero @ K-14?

This song is making me want to go out, buy a large bottle of bourbon and a gun and just go on a rampage....

LOVING the TWANG!!!!!! that's who i am and where I'm from........................................NOT this one really is a case of 'less is more'

[quote name='51m0n' timestamp='1365590525' post='2041381'] Voxengo SPAN can be set to K14 [url="http://www.voxengo.com/product/span/"]http://www.voxengo.com/product/span/[/url] And is 64bit In fact its so damned good at all things metering everyone should have a copy anyway - my top tip for the day [/quote] Thanks Right - I shall get cracking on this tonight!!

Can anyone point me at a FREE 64bit K-meter VST please? I can't find one. i really don't like to bridge plugins to 32 bit - it can cause all sorts of problems.

[quote name='KiOgon' timestamp='1365430671' post='2039466'] Fixed [/quote] whoops you are right. My brain is old and tired and I get confused sometimes. I try to only play J necks these days - hence that's the only one I got right. You know I looked at the widths I had quoted and thought - hmmm something's not quite right there... but posted anywway will edit correction.

[quote name='fumps' timestamp='1359993614' post='1963145'] Wow I have literally only owned 5 basses (three electric, one acoustic & one upright) since I began playing which is about 13 years (And that include the three Basses I own now) [/quote] I have owned a total of 4 basses in the 33 years I have been playing. I still own 3 of those.

My Kay P-bass was easily THE WORST bass in the world - bought new in 79/80 I think. It looked a bit like a 57 Fender insofar as it was sort of precision shaped with a 2 tone sunburst finish, a maple neckewith a white scratchplate. It weighed a ton and was impossible to setup - the action was always stupidly high and it suffered fret rattles and buzzes and deadspots all over. Did I say that it weighed a ton+ ? I think it was designed for Geoff Capes. Was sold as a 'beginner's bass' - I wonder how many beginners were put off by the impossibility of playing this heap of sh*t?

A standard precision neck is 1 5/8" wide at the nut A standard jazz neck is 1 1/2" wide at the nut. Some vintage precison necks are 1 3/4" wide at the nut.

I love that both my Warmoths have NO badges....they have prompted a fair few questions I used to feel conscious that my JV wears a Squier badge... I have only ever owned 2 things with a Fender badge on them...a strap (which was really uncomfortable) and a lead (which I really rather like)...

I don't.

Hmmmmm You know I don't think that is original. I don't EVER remember seeing a black JV with a tort plate Can't see a black JV P listed on the JV register: [url="http://www.21frets.com/jvreg/JV_Registry.pdf"]http://www.21frets.c...JV_Registry.pdf[/url] EDIT: actually I can see 2..... HMmm then maybe it is real? I seem to remember when i bought mine (new) the 62 came in Olympic White or Fiesta red or 3 tone sunburst only

is nobody gonna offer anything for April?

Didn't we all form bands in the first place so we could make lots of noise????
