Guess it explains why the amp parped out into a squidgy mess when I tried it out, trying to push some serious top end.

Is this gonna be the first single cut?

In all fairness they accepted the return without too much hassle.[/quote] I could have told you that from the word go - John East had to develop a new battery/charging solution for that exact reason so you could have an active circuit without having to route the bass.

[quote name='bobpalt' post='1350360' date='Aug 24 2011, 03:39 PM']Has anyone had any leds fitted by these guys, who are based in Orpington, Kent, and if so, how good was the experience? They are a lot cheaper than SIMs, although their neck leds are only quoted as lasting 5 or 6 hours on a battery (!), but I reckon I would need to go through a lot of batteries to make up the cost.....[/quote] I've never seen any of their work - it does intrigue me to how good they are and if their method of installation is the same as Sims.

[quote name='molan' post='1349958' date='Aug 24 2011, 09:46 AM']Saw a band recently in a fairly small venue where the bass player ran an Ashdown 500W head through a pair of 4x10's stacked vertically. Band starts playing = cue thud, thud, thud, boom, boom, boom from the bass corner [/quote] Isn't that what Ashdowns sound like anyway?

Play through an Ashdown... then nobody will be able to even tell what notes you are playing.

[quote name='lowdown' post='1346154' date='Aug 20 2011, 10:41 AM']I quite like these tunes [I thought i would not for some reason] May be my puter speakers - but it seems a bit light Bass end [Bass Gtr i mean] But saying that i can always hear the Bass end well on Commercial stuff on the puter speakers, so you [Bass Gtr] might be a bit light in the mix. Garry[/quote] Thanks for the kind words. As for the mixing... well, I guess I could have gone bass light knowing that I normally have a bass bias!

Looks great. To echo others round here, it certainly doesn't give the impression that you haven't done this before! One small question... has this got a trussrod? Or is it one of those truss rods where you have to take the neck off the body to alter it?

[quote name='lowdown' post='1346039' date='Aug 20 2011, 06:55 AM']'Bela' is a lovely theme.[/quote] Oh yeah - love that one. Sounds great!

So, some of you may remember I have been tinkering with original music scene again... well, just got back from laying down a few tracks and literally just finished mastering them. Got to the stage where I'm sick of listening to the same tracks again and again and so sod it, this is how they are going be issued. Shall be no doubt handing out the free coasters at tomorrow night's gig. Anyway, for your listening pleasure - [url="http://soundcloud.com/rh_music/second-state-chasing-shadows"]http://soundcloud.com/rh_music/second-state-chasing-shadows[/url] Yup, its a three piece, recorded live with only the vocals being dubbed on afterwards. If you are wondering about the bass, yeah, there's a fair bit of tapping at the end to fill it all out. If you like that, you could try this one - [url="http://soundcloud.com/rh_music/second-state-empty-spaces"]http://soundcloud.com/rh_music/second-state-empty-spaces[/url] I know it's not going to be everybody's cup of tea... let me know what you think. Oh... and the last one from this session - [url="http://soundcloud.com/rh_music/second-state-talk"]http://soundcloud.com/rh_music/second-state-talk[/url]

That sounds like a record to me. My band takes double that...

Mouse mats and wetsuits.

[quote name='GeeCee' post='1344906' date='Aug 18 2011, 09:54 PM']I think it's Jessica Alba's[/quote] Score!

Just to confirm, the heels are mostly hollow.

[quote name='durandassi' post='1344504' date='Aug 18 2011, 03:24 PM']Thank you, i really like the cocobolo on this one. If my foray into 5 string playing goes well, i may have to get a Spitfire 5er as well. J[/quote] 5 strings - never looked back since I've changed. Although for slaptastic stuff, a 4 rules.

Oooh. A 5er! White LEDs are pretty cool also.

[quote name='Musicman20' post='1344283' date='Aug 18 2011, 12:48 PM']Just been scouting the net. WOW, is guitarguitar super pricey! 2EQ Stingrays...some shops doing them for £1129 (these are the gigbag limited colour versions). They were £999 before Xmas. GuitarGuitar price? £1299. Crazy. For such a massive company, they will struggle at those prices.[/quote] Not really. Some geezer will walk in off the street, try it, like it, buy it. (they may even haggle a bit over price).
