  1. Ok thats really helpful. Thanks all. Thanks very much. Rob
  2. If it had been my mum, she'd have the handkerchief out rubbing off invisible spots off my already scrubbed face, telling me sternly not to mention the funny smell around gran, flatten my hair and don't talk about music as no one ones to hear about it. Rob
  3. What does player grade mean please? Rob
  4. Woohoo I'm now vintage++ and I have three vintage guitars. I'll take that
  5. Thats my problem, I have nothing to base (no pun intended) my views on apart from what sounds nice to me. I hear that the Fender Bassman 57 is a fantastic amp and a Dumble amp is worth gazillions. I hear something called that and have no idea. I've never even seen these mythical amps, and now I think back on it I haven't seen 99% of all ther other amps and effects,.
  6. There are a lot of good tones in the ToneX trying to get out. Get used to the software and it does work, might take some time
  7. Scapa is brilliant, just as good on the Block Ships as the deep ones. Played with seals, found a port hole just lying there on a large chunk of metal. Couldn't move it, all our bags together couldn't move it. Great penetration diving, but deep and took three dives to lay bottles down. Did a lot of tech diving early 90's when I went to the USA and got dive wings and stupidly large torches. Ears went in mid to late 90's, can't imagine why, so stopped 99 and sold up.
  8. Brought his book on British Blues, turned up on time, well packaged. A dull and boring transaction, which is just how it should be Nothing wrong, wish all purchases were like this. Looking forward to reading the book. Thanks Rob
  9. Agreed. Low temperature only and don't include any pinks... Ask me how I know.
  10. @neepheid Did you ever get a refund from the finishing school? Rob
  11. After reading all this I still think the "Gong solo" is the winner, though some of these are fabulous and have made my evening. I'm still giggling over some of them. Thanks for sharing. Rob
  12. As a challenge to myself I wondered what the smallest usable pedalboard could be. After playing about with a single row of pedals (and not being too happy TBH) I remembered an older iPhone11 64GB that my eldest daughter had and no longer used as she has an iPhone14 (a better phone that myself). Putting Amplitube or BiasFX2 on an iPhone or iPad is easy, however you need a digital interface and really a battery as these things all take power. and an iPhone 11 with a dodgy 3rd party battery rather than an Apple battery. I had an iRig 2 HD doing very little and numerous batteries. So I laid all this out and started holding things together to see how small it could be. So a single piece of 2040 aluminium extrusion for the base 252mm long, its longer than the iPhone 11 as the battery and iRig 2 fit underneath and are held on by some purpose built clamps.These have wires and the ends take up space. I inserted the iRig into the side clamp so that saved a bit of space. The cables might get smaller and neater if I can find the right ones from eBay, AliExpress or Amazon. I also had an M-Vave Chocolate four switch MIDI pedal lying around. It has four switches and two options per switch, quick press and long press. Programmed it up to send eight different messages, and using the live section of BiasFX2, I had it to switch between different different pedalboards, but I could have a single pedalboard and have the M-Vave turning individual pedals on and off. I plugged it into a Yamaha HS-7 monitor speaker and it's really good. I've no doubt an HX Stomp or Quad Cortex is better, but for the an old iPhone 11, an iRig 2, a battery and an pedal switch, none of which were being used, a cheap solution to a pedalboard and a very small one. The iPhone 11 has no issues running anything on BiasFX (so far), Bass sounds fine as does guitar. Its 260mm long and 90mm wide. I can also put an iPad on if I wanted a bigger display. I checked the balance point. I suspect my daughter may claim it for herself, but I'd have no issues taking this out for practise, the battery will provide about eigh hours of use. Rob
  13. Clearly the book is in great demand. I'm happy to offer my copy back up for sale, I think a tiny commission to myself might be appropriate, so very happy to swap it for perhaps a 62 Jazz, a 62 Strat or a 59 Les Paul Sunburst and if you can throw in a Dumble amp as well, that'd clinch the deal. One of Geddy's or Eric's would certainly ease the considerable pain of giving the book up if it makes it easier I'll collect and bring a hurried photocopy of the book with me. Can't be fairer than that (says he channelling his inner Del Boy) Thanks Rob
  14. Doesn't appear to have sold for some strange reaaon
