  1. Anyone know more than I do about Vox V125 bass heads ? (Which is basically they're early 80's and heavy ) I 've just scrounged a non working one and was wondering if it's worth costing a repair or just use it as an ornament.
  2. The E string, because that's the only one I use And yes, I have bust one on stage
  3. Audicity. It's free and makes a passable multi track studio as well.
  4. Selling a Selmer Zodiac 100w valve amp to get an H +H VS Musician was not the best move.
  5. How bad were the cables you replaced ?
  6. Anything other than 4 in a row is confusing
  7. I've only ever owned K + M ones.30 years of trouble free use so far.
  8. I spent the early part of my musical career tuning up to " yeah that's close enough"
  9. Or the alternative title, How Good are Your Speakers.
  10. I have one.A proper one with the black painted finish, none of yer carpet nonsense. Can't say it gets out of the house much because there is a Ford Granada hiding inside it, at least that would explain the weight. [attachment=250867:trace.jpg]
  11. I've done a lot of engineering in pub sized venues, and whilst it does depend on the drummer and the venue, my default setting is mic up kick and snare,Cymbals will generally cut through, and most pub audiences aren't bothered with frilly tom tom stuff being quieter . ( not my description...) Given time and space I will do hi hat and overhead as well, but the bare minimum is make sure the kick and snare can be heard.
  12. [quote name='Count Bassy' timestamp='1498911007' post='3327922'] The compression thing is all to do with how the signal is processed to appeal to the market. This is totally independent of the reproduction method - except that the CD allows you to compress more and still be able to fit it it on a CD, whereas an LP cannot support that degree of compression. If you copy an original vinyl to CD through half decent gear then you won't know the difference on play back, it will all be there, complete with surface noise and scratches. The good news is that a half decent CD player costs a fraction of a half decent record deck, and the CD will still sound the same in 20 years time, whereas an LP won't (if you've played it at all). An LP might sound good, or even better, according to taste, but to claim it's amore accurate reproduction is just silly. [/quote] Spot on. "Sounds better" is personal perception
