I've got an 18v adapter knocking around somewhere, I think it's a standard 2.1mm Boss size barrel, negative ground. I use it to power my Aguilar Tone Hammer a while ago. You can have it for P and P if you like.

[quote name='The Dark Lord' timestamp='1346668447' post='1791619'] Amazing. I managed to create THE perfect bass using this. Must buy one of these. Although it does say Stratocaster on the headstock. [/quote] I've got one like that - not [i]the[/i] perfect bass, but pretty close...

Lock function - really good idea! I wonder if that can be retro-fitted to EVERY guitar pedal to stop the tweaking inbetween songs?

[quote name='Dr.Dave' timestamp='1346600132' post='1791034'] I've earned both those qualities ! [/quote] Ditto. Also Boorishness.

[quote name='Dr.Dave' timestamp='1346599480' post='1791021'] I've found that since the point where I was confident and experienced - at life - enough to stop conning myself into thinking we're all equal and was therefore able to accept that most people I come across are dumber than me , I've found such things as karaoke much easier to deal with. [/quote] True dat, we simply take comfort in the fact that our tastes are superior to theirs and we could probably beat them at Scrabble... [/snobbish elitism]

Giant Steps? We'll call that 'plan F' I think. Blues (with substitutions) then 'Rhythm Changes'

[quote name='toneknob' timestamp='1346571393' post='1790566'] Who did your guitarist look like? [/quote] nobody really, he was quite short with long blonde hair. Me? I'm a dead ringer for my twin brother - he wasn't in Queen either.

Like it! More power to your elbow, sir.

I did 7 years in a Queen tribute act and had a blast. Loads of punters loved our set (75% of the 'live at Wembley '86 set) and they really liked what we did. It helped that our singer was a dead ringer for Freddie and sounded an awful lot like him too. Our drummer looked like Brian May and we were all Queen fans. We made a lot of money, enjoyed ourselves and made a lot of audiences really happy. Nobody died either - so I'd call that a successful project. I've seen some awful ones though, just dire.

Being in a band with people who would do this to you? No thanks, you're better off without them. I know it probably still smarts, but it sounds like you've had a lucky escape; you could have been signed to a label and been on tour with these twats i.e. heavily in debt and obligated to live at really close quarters with them.

"Desperado" by the Eagles. Come to think of it, anything by the Eagles. I fecking [i]hate[/i] the Eagles.

[quote name='Big_Stu' timestamp='1346356184' post='1788341'] Slade in the summer of '73 at Blackburn King George's [/quote] That's where I saw the 'Crowes. It's a bit of a hole isn't it!

My first gig was the Black Crowes, so that would have been Johnny Colt touring their first album.

Alright - I'm in. I'll start tonight.

6 hours? That's more rehearsing than I've done in my life!

[quote name='mrtcat' timestamp='1346261626' post='1787210'] Get there super early as anything that's actually a bargain will go in a flash. [/quote] I there now, sleeping in my car.

Just listened the SunnO. I reckon if I was the chap who filmed this I'd ask for my ticket money back; it sounded like he was sitting on top of one of the generators. Worst seat in the house.

"I wish"...

[quote name='clarket2' timestamp='1346245935' post='1786936'] I've found chordal playing can be great in smaller groups (duos and trios with drums really) as it allows you to fill out the harmonic content a bit more when the comping instrument drops out. Even just a double stop with a third or seventh in the top can sound great once in a while [/quote] Yup, tenths under a guitar solo (when playing in a 3 piece) are my weapon of choice.

[quote name='KevB' timestamp='1346243557' post='1786892'] No apostrophe in 'videos' [/quote] True dat, unless you moonlight as a greengrocer. Like the site (and the playing too) - the layout is just right in that it doesn't look empty, but it's not too busy. Good photography too.
