[quote name='Dave Vader' post='1113467' date='Feb 3 2011, 09:07 AM']Tele update... Still haven't plugged it in, but, can confirm, frets are crappy little mandolin frets, will probably wear out in a week, and feel weird. Volume pot was spinning so went to take the knob off and tighten it up, and it turned out the knob wasn't glued to it's plastic base properly. So swapped it out, job done. Will hopefully find time to plug in tonight. Might be a nice base to learn how to refret properly....[/quote] This upsets me. Generally the feedback has been good with only a couple of people reporting bad experiences. I was planning on a tele but I'm now worried it'll not be worth the £59, what to do...

What's the big fuss over Maple? Surely they'll just be the same but a different colour!

Mine is just in the right position for playing naked. I'm yet to have a gig yet where that is an option though.

I think I'm going to have to get one of the Ps and then a strat and tele. All three will be beaten very muchly. Can't be having them look shiny can we?

They have sold out of the BLUE

13 microphones. The bass drum is almost inaudible though due to an over active multipressor. I'll adjust it for the version I submit and then hopefully it'll be more prominent

Any opinions?

[quote name='gizmo6789' post='1104427' date='Jan 26 2011, 09:42 PM']You'd think that the sound engineers would be over the moon to use the supplied D.I on the amp. saves alot of time, what with having to set up the box, run the wired etc. Definetly gonna get the soung guy to use my D.I on friday. il let you know his reply.[/quote] Well that kind of ruins the point in taking a DI rather than using a microphone. Use a DI from the guitar OR Use a DI from the guitar and a suitable microphone to the cab.

I feel all warm inside

I work at a 1400 capacity venue. For bass guitar if we're only using one channel, then we'll take a DI direct from the guitar. If we're using two we'll use a DI along with a microphone to the cab. If a bassist specifically asked me to take DI from their rig then I'd have no problem doing it, it's just I much prefer to do it this way. Why? -Protecting against failure of the amp -Musicians will often be changing settings during the show on an amp, this will of course affect the DI coming to the FoH and mean constant adjustment down this end as well -A DI from the amp will be EQed for THAT amp and cab, not for a FoH system That's why.

Just finished my first recording piece for uni. I'm studying Music and Sound Technology. This song was all studio recorded with not a bit of MIDI in sight. There's a few things left to do to the piece but I'm kind of happy with how it's sounding [url="http://jekyll.mcalpine.ch/AlexMcAlpine_RockAndRoll1.mp3"]http://jekyll.mcalpine.ch/AlexMcAlpine_RockAndRoll1.mp3[/url]
