I will let you know if/when I get a proper set , I cant seem to get the right feel from the hybrid/custom 105/70/70/50 pack I opened this morning

Do they get a little precious

I have already sent an email to EB UK , lets see what they make of it !! I will keep you informed . I had a tail snap on a Roto D string and they sent me a new one straight away , I wonder if Ernie is on the ball

[size=4][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]I have been very lucky to acquire a set of Ernie Ball regular slinkies from a fellow BCer through the recycling , these are Brand new in a sealed foil pack , virginal to any purchasers grubby mits.[/font][/size] [size=4][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]These were destined for a project that I am playing with , and a dry run set-up was on the cards , [color=#282828]except , on opening them , I opened the 105 E first and strung it on , then the A 85 , I thought it seemed a bit thin , but carried on , then the D then finally the G , I had terrible issues tuning the thing , so I got out the vernier and would you believe the labelled packet with the 85 was indeed a 70 , so bizzarely from a sealed unopened pack of strings it was put together wrongly , so now I need an 85 to suit .[/color][/font][/size] [color=#282828][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]I generally use Rotosounds and have never had an issue like this , have I been incredibly unlucky ,or is this a relatively common occurrence ? [/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif] [/font][/color][color=#282828][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]ps anyone go a spare new EB .085 roundwound spare , [/font][/color]

I have had a busy month and we have house guests in my 'studio' space , but I did try a few things ,but couldn't pull anything together , despite having a queue of available vocalists . Maybe that is an issue in itself in that making up a composition is all well and fine if I am going to be the guilty party , but to write parts for others to perform is another step entirely . Being glorious weather means more out and aboutness aswell , Still I will vote ASAP , But august could be also be tricky timewise for me , and then Paul knocks one out in a couple of hours much respect

Just got in from a regular pub gig and it was a great one ,we had them bouncing even in the first set , blooded 3 new songs and it was the first work out for my new (used) TC Electronics rig , I was very pleased with what it sounded like and the way it worked for the gig ,, we are back there for a christmas party , so that should be fun , a good night all in , even if it was a touch warm tonight

Why didn't you stand at the door giving out flyers to all and sundry

That sounds brilliant Paul , what are you thinking of in regard an acoustically treated window ? do you mean curtains .

I wont go into detail , but I have been eating a fair bit of sweetcorn recently

[quote name='lowdown' timestamp='1405183016' post='2499499'] I believe one of Basschats Oligarchs has a nice little sideline that can help you out. [url="http://media.photobucket.com/user/jamest52/media/turdpolish.jpg.html"][/url] [/quote] Quality ,I must invest in some , though black ?

[quote name='Dad3353' timestamp='1405114562' post='2499033'] I've still to find, however, the 'magic bullet' that turns dross into glittering gold. I'll just have to keep looking... [/quote] In search of the elusive turd polisher eh? Well it's pretty obvious that I am not in possession of one Time and opportunity is not on my side at the moment , though still hopeful of knocking something together .

bought a bridge from Paul , it must have been in the post about 10 minutes after I paid him !! excellent service , many thanks

Well done Douglas , a worthy winner , a clever and well presented piece that suited the theme perfectly ,......oh and thanks

I am a little disappointed Dad, we know your skill at putting a tune together with incredible speed , this was the perfect opportunity to get the song done BEFORE the picture got posted

[quote name='Roland Rock' timestamp='1403958807' post='2488075'] That's a shame :-( I didn't think that the song was THAT uninspirational ;-) [/quote] HaHa I have had a really busy month , Stag weekends , clothes shopping ( still not finished) , family visits , wedding to attend , funeral aswell , so such a full on mix has escaped all efforts at quality mix time The song is great , but there are a lot of parts and being fairly long, after a few listens through to get the feel, I am still struggling to make any headway and then I have run out of time

Unfortunately I have got nowhere with this , and I don't think I will get a chance either , so for the first time in ages I am going to have to duck out on the mix challenge , good luck all .

Just about a year from the last feedback and must sadly report a lack of improvement from the previous input . I would not be interested in having dealings with Samuel again .

Ha Ha , Its beginning to look like you need to start thinking of a picture there Douglas

WE played to the bar staff and a photgrapher who wanted to do some shots , she had friends and family that wanted to come but the landlord would not allow under 16's so they all sacked it off . at 11.45 we called it a day and were packing up when 50 people walked in and wanted us to play . The landlord had booked us and took his regular clientele to the dogs in manchester !! we thought it would kick off when we refused to play any more , we got paid though .

When I first heard yours , at the start I thought Big Bang , and then a DOH moment that I wished I had thought of it

OK , it would appear oohs and aaahs are not on the menu this month , so I will give you something that is ...Above and beyond https://soundcloud.com/lurksalot/above-and-beyond It does seem to have been compressed a fair bit by Sound cloud and has somehow feels a touch muted . I also think I have noticed it before . ah well , I hope you enjoy

This picture didnt suggest lyrics to me , but while having my ideas mainly set down now , I am again hoping for some Lurksalittle input . So if I persuade her I will have a vpcal of sorts , but probably just sounds rather than words

Its the 'Orange' that SWMBO thinks is cool , and with a fake speaker front to hide the rack gear , I think it might be OK aswell , a little research suggests that getting hold of the 'Orange' badges for authenticity might be a bit awkward , but a link to the tolex would be good thanks . If I find in six months time I haven't got around to pulling my finger out I might take him up on the idea
