Nice pëüddål board!

Love my Hydrive 410 - just sounds 'right'.

I once had some trousers with velcro instead of a fly zip or buttons. That's not relevant, I'm just saying.

I seem to recall that the only authorised UK repair centre for Ampeg are these chaps: http://www.panicmusic.info/index.html

No worries, just post it to me and I'll do some... ;-)

Definite outcomes or targets. Makes it easy to measure how far you've come or to highlight areas for development.

the 'Toby' chap looks like he's [i]making[/i] a stool.

[quote name='DHA' timestamp='1357201597' post='1918904'] Most of it you can't hear but these high and low frequency harmonics have an effect on the tones "fat" sound, just makes it sound [s]richer[/s] frickin' awesome. [/quote] Fixed

sound clips?

powered the digital pedal from the TU3. Sorry, wasn't really clear in my post.

I use a separate supply for my VT1EQ. I [i]can[/i] run it daisy chained from my one spot (with an inverter), but that's only 9v. The only time I've had 'buzz' issues was with a digital pedal (EHX Freeze), so I used the 9v feed from a Boss TU3 and that sorted it; must be them magic buffers... I find that old style 'transformer' supplies are cleaner than newer 'switch mode' ones, but that's just me.

[quote name='risingson' timestamp='1356979026' post='1916056'] It does, but then is is surprising that we should be surprised about popular music being massively image conscious? I thought it was kind of obvious really! [/quote] Pop music has always been about looks. Maybe I should give it a go, as I'm fecking loverly.

Just finished one of these - tiny little compressor to go on the board in a loop before the Q-tron. Surprisingly good! [IMG]http://i1221.photobucket.com/albums/dd471/paul_510/ReallyCheapBassCompressor.png[/IMG] I got the diagram from the http://tagboardeffects.blogspot.co.uk very clean, virtually noise-free compressor. Total price is less than a tenner.

[quote name='Lfalex v1.1' timestamp='1356847383' post='1914251'] No. I won't show you my purple monstrosity... [/quote] Thanks for that. (sighs of relief all round)

It's a while since I did this with a band, but I seem to remember starting 'the run' with my little finger on the B on the E string (7th fret) and moving to the A string for the next note.

just gone for the live album - will check him out later on today.

I'll nominate myself for the most selfless BC'er - oh no, I've just spoiled it!

y'know, if you take the frets off you can tweak it down a bit more...

Nobody's mentioned 'Moondance yet'? 'Lovecats' by the Cure has a nice little walking interlude - well, more 'stretching your legs' than walking, but it works perfectly.

looks like a pearly king who got mugged by button-nutters.

For me it was the TE SMX dual compressor pedal - just didn't do it for me.
