    Hi all daft question but I need a toggle switch tip (looks like a cone)for a newly aquired stingray 5 (its just the sharp bare metal shaft at the moment) I ordered a strat like one off ebay but it doesn't fit (too small), Tried everywhere to find one, no luck, anyone have an idea where I might be able to get one? Thanks!

    With regard to the "plenty of promises to rebook" line, I can tell you that never happens unless you strike while the iron is still hot, ie phone, not email if you can help it, with diary in hand the very next morning or even at the gig if you have the diary to hand, and get them to book you in there and then. The amount of times we used to have "you guys were awesome, we'll deffo having you back...I'll call you!".....

    Keep my PA in the (unheated) garage, theres some airflow, so no damp, been working ok for years, so long as its dry, I don't think temperature really matters.

    another thumbs up for Ampband, did it last year, you just never know!

    That was extremely lucky but I'd imagine it was possibly a deflection? There's no way a wooden guitar a couple of inches thick would stop an automatic assault rifle round

    Just did a trade with Matt for his Stingray 5, an absoloute gent and a pleasure to deal with, he came over to me in Devon all the way from Wiltshire and we had a deal in 5 minutes, couldn't recommend him enough, deal in confidence!

    Hi Folks Up for sale our Behringer X Air 18 Digital Mixer, also comes with a notebook loaded with the software, so essentialy plug n play ready. Im after £450 which is about £100 off new plus we'll throw in the tablet which cost £50. Its about a year old, done about 30 gigs no problems, in very good condition. Reason for selling? Well, we're a pretty straightforward rock 3 piece and this is beyond our comfort zone, there's a lot of possibilities here that we don't have the time or patience to master so we want to go back to analogue desks, all we need is a little reverb on the vocals and thats it, this does a whole, whole lot more. Willing to shift a little on the price but please no p*ss taking! Thanks for looking!

    OK a quick silly rant, Im listening to this right now and its frankly brilliant (not put it on in 20 years) and then I read this review from some plonker from the BBC http://www.bbc.co.uk/music/reviews/x4xm/ He's talking nonsense (apart from the drug abuse!) Its a FAB album, rant over, thanks for reading, I feel much better now

    a 50W marshall valve head will be insanely loud as Lefty has said, our guitarist is currently using a 40w marshall valve combo for gigging and easily keeps up with my 300W all valve Ampeg Stack, so very very loud and you will need to crank it to get the sweet spot. For home use and recording you really only need to go to a 20W valve head such as a Blackstar, or TBH this would be perfect for low volume sweet tone https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Blackstar-HT5-Head-Valve-Guitar-Amp/323016871549?hash=item4b354e4e7d:g:K~QAAOSwAWlaY3Bj

    I think it might be the fact that she's kicking off about no support for the support acts that might be grating with a few on here. Not knowing how that would work with time availability for the interpreter etc means I don't really have an opinion, but having seen some truly awful support acts for big headliners, its got me feeling a bit annoyed but I can't really explain why!

    Yeah we use the RCF 310's as monitors, they're ace, and the 315's as PA speakers

    where you based?
  17. skidder652003
    Don't muck about, go for the best gear you can possibly afford, Im talking active RCF or QSC, db Technologies etc, ok will cost upfront but should give you years of hassle free great foldback, go second hand if necessary. With this sort of gear it will blend into the new PA as well

    sustain into controlled feedback, essential...

    £350 for one song? Really?
  23. skidder652003
    ive got an old pearl phaser that I never even thought of using, will give it a try thanks!

    We gig this one and I just dig in with my valve pre amp peadal and valve rig and it doesn't sound right to my ears, I think the cheapest option would be a fuzz pedal, something like an MXR bass fuzz deluxe, but I can't really justify it for one number, I hear there was a lesley speaker involved, and a pick, someone recommends a digitech ventura vibe as well, there's some stuff here https://www.gearslutz.com/board/high-end/836166-john-paul-jones-studio-sound.html and here

    if that doesn't sound biblical, nothing will....
