Check the article for the bass, stay for the bum. And back to the Nuts magazine thread.

What makes it a rare one? Fiddly preamp/unusual colour?

[quote name='charic' timestamp='1329235077' post='1539280'] I seemed to be getting a lot of "full" sounding distortion on the vid with both highs and lows but not loosing any punch, I'm not really a fan of anything which compromises clarity. [/quote] Mids are more important than highs and to an extent lows,

Most of that stuff depends on the circuit they are in, they are only one component.

I rea somewhere that a guy living in his parents basement came up to fin the guy plastering that his mum had hired was Joey DeMaio.

Not much point in an octaver for subs unless your cab can keep up, and generally they don't.

Start at the start and get some strings manly enough to be fulll sounding in drop C, chances are you are using standard ones, and that is like trying to rock a shortscale in standard.

Middly drive and bit clean lows is the way. Problem is most rives are scooped, and low cut for chugging guitars and sounding good on its own. I used Sansamp into valve amps for a pretty big sound. Wasn't super defined, but tuning to A will do that for you, I reckon I can get much more definition and the same size with my newer rig that is half guitar stuff, much more middle there.

Not lending them your stuff: upgrade to headlining.

Keep being tempted by those in Maplins, for the standby.

No, but they've discontinued that pesky shielding which added so much to the production cost. Actually, I think you might be describing the SG. Still wouldn't bother with a Gibson made one. If you do have to get a Gibson one, get one from the States shipped over, because the last pick get exported by Gibson. got some fairly serious guitar people reccomending getting a Chinese clone and some hardware. Edit: Missing all the 'd's

The amp is a boost. The preamp is the tone fiddling. You can get amps in a pedal.

Swapping the cheapy generics to mullards mafde a distortion channel a bit more pleasing, but difference between Brimars and Mullards not so much. Gonna be trying out some modern Chinese ones when they arrive. Seen a lot of dead EHX valves, so bit dodge on them.

Moded my first one into unsellability. Its now bolte to a pub wall. Do regret not swapping a crapper bridge onto it first.

RBI has a mid control, which is handy.

Of course I know someone, I know everyone who has vintage valves, we are all one. [IMG]http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b69/Incarante/goldlions002.jpg[/IMG] I don't keep this sort of top end vales, no point in them for bass amps when the idea is pushing into istortion, so I never have many at once.
