[quote name='sunburstjazz1967' timestamp='1462355934' post='3042277'] I suppose this is where those six D&B monitors would really shine as long as they weren't hired out when you needed them? :-) [/quote] That's never going to go away , is it ...... he he

[quote name='peteb' timestamp='1461699446' post='3036955'] He's not bad either... [/quote]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=69EcnxJmnd4&list=PLSiv2uRgWAfKg5dhTiueLZQwdOKIIYGdd

[quote name='chardbass' timestamp='1460475832' post='3026040'] They were the favoured amp of choice a while back. There have since been others and now there is someone else :-) I've played Eden WT heads since '99. [/quote] Me too - had my WT400 since about 2000/1 and it's all I've played since . Only lacked power on one gig - awesome little amp As said , they were flavour of the month for a while , and now not so . Good thing is , the 2nd hand market prices are now really low - good time to be an Eden lover

I'm surprised no one has mentioned 'Let it grow' by Clapton

I had this with Elites with my rear loaded stingray on the E sting only . I just now never buy strings with silked ends

[quote name='colgraff' timestamp='1459164959' post='3013970'] I think this is a natural extension of a cashless economy. We all like to be paid in cash, but as we are providing a commercial service, being paid cash with no questions asked isn't really defensible in the 21st century for a band or a plumber / builder, etc. [/quote]Playing Devil's here - but does that logic then extend to buying a pint from the same venue? I understand this is the way it's going , and bands have been used to cash in hand ; but the payment surely 'has' to be both ways?

[quote name='barneyg42' timestamp='1459196444' post='3014393'] I wonder if some of these venues get a cash allocation from the brewery anyway and "lose" it somehow! Very easy to fake a receipt! Cynical? Me? [/quote]And this now ties in with the other topic - about InvaPay and the Events payment method . Cash in hand pub bands losing out because of a few greedy publicans .

Similar to InvaPay then . Doesn't work both ways though ..... Try ordering a round , then tell then you'll pay in 7 working days .

[quote name='dood' timestamp='1458858800' post='3011712'] Well they are designed so that if you drop C (CGCF) they will still have a decent tension to feel like a standard tuned balanced set [/quote]Think I'll order some and see what they're like . Will have to see if they can handle multiple tuning up and down throughout a set - some strings go dead quickly doing that . Cheers for that mate- I'll give 'em a go

[quote name='dood' timestamp='1458761172' post='3010648'] Absolutely use this set for Drop C and Drop C# [url="http://www.daddario.com/DADProductDetail.Page?ActiveID=3769&productid=380&productname=EXL160BT_Nickel_Wound__Balanced_Tension_Medium__50_120&sid=82837d8d-863c-4168-8e34-e84677425f6d"]http://www.daddario....34-e84677425f6d[/url] They are dead easy to get hold of and sound great. I've used them on album work and have had no problems with tension.. because this type of tuning is exactly why Balanced Tension sets matter. [/quote]They look good , but heavy gauge . I often do dropped D , and also down a whole step on all four - with a bottom C (so a sort of dropped D , with everything down a step) I've had 5'ers , and never found one I liked , and the graphite neck on my 4 , is just as taut on a dropped C , as any 5 I've tried . Dood - I'm getting a new set tomorrow , and fancy trying those strings . How much more heavy do they feel than the regular 105-45 set ; as I tried 110-50 , and felt a bit too heavy for me . Does the balanced set , almost make them feel less weighty?

[quote name='pete.young' timestamp='1457896370' post='3002795'] Any desire I might have had to go and see Limehouse Lizzy has completely evaporated. Who the hell do they think they are? [/quote] I'll tell you in a few months - we're supporting them at a festival

Used to do loads years ago . Did a dep function last year , and to be honest , I do miss it a bit . As already said - long hours etc , but money good , and normally everyone up for it . Also , when I was single , there was more chance of a 'take home' , than at the Tickled Trout pub - he he

[quote name='EssentialTension' timestamp='1456521514' post='2990091'] Yes, certain things about the setup of the instrument will make so-called mwaah more noticeable but it's in your fingers really and it's possible to 'play it straight' on a fretless and it will still sound and feel different to a fretted instrument. [/quote] It's my life - by Talk Talk is probably a good example of this I reckon

I'm seeing the same - this sometimes happens . It'll be up again later on

[quote name='EBS_freak' timestamp='1454961932' post='2974669'] Well, that's just another kettle of fish. [/quote]Well I've been spectating and not participating (as per usual) , and I doubt I'll be able to think of an unused fish pun , coming into the game this late ; but maybe placing the cases in a ROE , to aid loading , is the best I can do

[quote name='EBS_freak' timestamp='1454959824' post='2974646'] Racks are mansgeable but unless you are flying or putting your gear into a boarded out van (with loading ramp) go padded cases... Says the man with a flightcased Fender Twin. Even with a van, you've still got to get it into the venue... ...which no doubt has lots of stairs. Nobody needs flightcases to play The Tickled Trout. [/quote]But what if the Tickled Trout has flightcased D&B monitors being wheeled in by a bloke with fancy strides on?

What a price for that - and an hour from me to boot . I mustn't tempt myself though . I bought one of these new when they came out , and it was an awesome amp - but really heavy . Gigged it for years

[quote name='JTUK' timestamp='1453155203' post='2957008'] Bloody hell... [/quote] That's what I thought - shocked

I saw the OP's first post as he posted , and genuinely thought that he'd fallen for one of those internet rumours . nothing on BBC and no one replied . Not a massive fan , but a fan nonetheless . Such a huge huge loss - really shocked today (pretty much all day) . Maybe this will lighten the mood . http://www.facebook.com/thedailystar/videos/1235790066437854/?pnref=story

In bad taste maybe , but did make me laugh . http://thehardtimes.net/2015/10/01/lemmy-waiting-end-tour-announce-hes-dead/

Excellent

I liked the one Waynepunkdude did , with the photo - asking for people to do as they will with it . There was some great photoshop bits done

That sounds great - really good to demo it with the direct comparison to the DI . Demo shows no difference in models on the patches shown . I'll definitely be interested when it comes out .

In the last few years , when one of our guitarists couldn't make a gig , we've had to re-jig the set around a bit . As the others have said - you'll have a bit more space to fill it out , and this can be like being suddenly 'untied up' . But if I'm honest , the best thing about those few gigs , was that I finally had a bit of physical room on stage , and didn't have to constantly turn to the side , whilst he carried out continual amp fiddling (normally to turn up!)
