I'm looking to buy a new amp so I have been checking out a lot of old threads on here, reviews etc. During my research i have come across people saying some amps are woolly, others saying they aren't. Also people saying things like the bass eq on an amp is 'musical'. I have also seen a compressor described as musical. ( don't really understand that one). So please could you give your definitions on woolly and on things like eq and compressors being musical? Cheers

I want one of them Hartke HA5500's

Has to be this Dead, Dead, Dead [media]http://youtu.be/XUFfeTjuPeg[/media] It is one of my all time favourite songs!

[quote name='ead' timestamp='1481804488' post='3195267'] Don't think that was quite what the OP was asking. If Love Me Do was released today (with no knowledge of former glories) would it still reach no.17 in the charts? I'm not sure it would. Maybe Love Me Do feat. Rhianna and DJ Skanky Dick might though. [/quote] Oh god, i love DJ Skanky Dick!

I just can't sell things. I got a 5 string fretless that i never use. I just cant bring myself to sell it because i used it on big ish tour. Which is f***in stupid!

The input gain is always on 9. The master dependant on the room or if use 1 or 2 cabs

I'm sure there was some jazz guy doing it in the 30's!

I've played with a few drummers who's favourite time is either 3.9/4 or 4.1/4!

[quote name='lowdown' timestamp='1481378207' post='3191860'] Seeing as that Christmas period is approaching, I thought I would throw this up onto the stage. "Sleigh Ride " in 7/8 - It works well and to me, feels very natural. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ZggJNsAuIw [/quote] That is very cool!

I got a degree from York University, Music and Music Tech. Biggest waste of time in my life. I learned nothing there. I'd done Btec and HND previously where I' d been taught by serious professional musicians and learned incredible amounts and had been in theatre pit bands from being 16. There were occasions at uni where I taught the lecturers stuff and York is a good uni. The difference being I was 'taught' by graduates at uni. It has done me no good, played no part in my life as a musician. I used to ditch uni for a couple of months at a time to go doing theatre show runs. They let me and I still got my degree.

[quote name='Twincam' timestamp='1480995565' post='3188820'] Had a bvp5500 its a very good and well made amp. However things to note its heavy and its only approx 350w rms at 4 ohm and approx half 8 ohm. The veyrons seem to get a lot of positive reviews and I believe they were tested to be in the region of 500 - 700watts rms I can't remember the exact figure. If I had to buy a new amp and was on a budget I would possible buy the veyron tube version. And I would definitely own a bvp5500 again although its needs 4 ohms to really get going or a very efficient cab or lots of drivers. Its not underpowered but its not the loudest amp. Probably the best amp that you can buy brand new for around £200. [/quote] Cheers, I think I've switched tack. I'm gonna sell my 5 string fretless and the back up amp and then get a hartke ha5500.

Fretted or fretless?

[quote name='SH73' timestamp='1480964931' post='3188508'] Was it before Christmas 2012 at London gig? [/quote] Nah it was on the Firegarden tour probably G3 in Manchester in the 90's. He's met me twice he's a lucky guy! The second time he took ages to come out after the gig. My mate who was a cheeky f***er said. "f***in 'ell Stevie, where ya been? George Micheal came out quicker than you did!" To be fair he laughed quite a lot!

[quote name='JTUK' timestamp='1480966943' post='3188527'] Don't be a stalker, It gets a bit boring, not to say pretty sad...but there you go..!! Besides, have you heard some of their bands... [/quote] Boring and sad! You've never been stalked by me then.....it's sexy and terrifying.......terrifying for me!

[quote name='SH73' timestamp='1480962514' post='3188476'] I met Steve Harris after the gig last Friday, but doubt it very much he is a basschatter. [/quote] Steve Vai once met me after a gig!

[quote name='JTUK' timestamp='1480961065' post='3188457'] Let me just say that not all of you can be me... [/quote] But some of us can be and I'm one of them!

[quote name='bassman7755' timestamp='1480957978' post='3188425'] I've never knowingly had a basschatter at one of my gigs, I live in hope though, would be cool is someone came up and said hello. [/quote] Yeah that's kind of what i think. I would talk about music tho. Not gear
