Great vocal mic but at least twice the price of the NT1A and not as good all round

I reckon I shift most guitarist's tracks by at least 12ms so the latency probably helps! Probably not as useful for bassists who tend to be a bit more "on it"

They're a great all-rounder too. I use mine for the room on acoustic guitars, drums, percussion, sometimes electric guitars too

Just a bit of fun on the drums

Glad to see you're back!

I am over the moon. Spent an hour playing it last night after getting back to stoke and it feels so "right". Thanks so much Steve I won't sell it again :)

My mate Sam Ogden - my favourite drummer to watch, and to play with

I got a great deal on some cymbals too, was happy to wait

I can't play my normal basses due to an injury, and haven't been able to since December. I've just bought a Squier Bronco hoping the short scale will help and it does!! I'm stil very rusty, but I love the sound of this bass. Here's a little jam I did with myself

I genuinely think Jack Stratton is dead funny, even if I've gone off their music a bit. I've been loving fearless flyers though, and Theo Katzman's solo stuff

I'm not sure he was being entirely truthful

This is the one from a live jam. I put the vocals on after

Not much interest but I'll post the videos here anyway:

good call, thanks

My first ever bass was a Squier Musicmaster in white, like this I sold it when I was 16. I had no idea it was worth anything, I'd started playing 6 string basses, and I really wanted to buy a drum kit. I had one school friend who'd give me a kit for £50 and another who'd give me £50 for the bass - sorted. However, I've never been able to let it go, and as time goes by (I'm now 35) the regret gets more intense. About 5 years ago, the person I sold it to got in touch on Facebook. She's now living in the states. Of course I asked about the bass and she explained she'd given it to her sister, but she'd ask if I could buy it back. The sister said no, but if she ever came to sell it she'd let me know I'm struggling with a wrist injury at the moment. I can't play my 6 strings, even a standard P is difficult, so I was looking at some short scale basses and thought I'd contact her again just on the off chance. It turns out the sister sold it to a guy in Salford last year for £250. I'd have easily paid double that to get it back! I wonder if anyone on here bought it? Or knows anyone who did? I put a deep gouge in the top by the jack socket, I assume that's not been repaired.

I know it's not funny but that really made me laugh I was very lucky in that an addict walking past asked me what had happened to my door. I explained I'd had a few guitars nicked. He said he'd ask around, and then half an hour later lead me to a house with 8 of the 10 guitars in it in exchange for £50. I still miss my Aria Pro II hollow body 335 alike though

We had 10 guitars nicked from our house in Stoke about 15 years ago. The police were great, fingerprinted absolutely everything in the house, there must have been 5 officers there, god knows how much that cost. Never heard from them again. Weird!

If I'm working with someone in the studio, a bit of music theory knowledge comes in very useful. If I'm sat at home with my guitar I tend to try and avoid using those same "rules" that make working with others easy, in the hope that I come up with something a bit different. It seems to work OK to me

I think these are better examples of Rocco working with Yussef Dayes, who is one of the most exciting drummers out there

cool!

hah, yes, I hope you've insulated the bare wires somehow, be careful It would be tidier, and probably safer, to install a socket properly

A photo would really help. You removed two wires from the speaker that blew, right? These two wires could be soldered onto a jack socket. You might have to drill a new hole in the amp's case to fit the socket to, then you would use this socket as a speaker output. Use a jack-jack speaker cable to connect this socket to the input socket on the cab I guess you could just wire a jack plug onto the two wires but I doubt they'd be long enough to stretch to a cab underneath the amp, and it wouldn't be a very professional solution

Yeh you could just wire the two wires that were attached to the speaker, to the two points on a mono jack socket. Then you'd use a speaker cable to connect that socket to the input on the TE cab. The link socket is to connect a second cab. The 3 pin sockets are XLR. On the amp, this is a DI out and will not be able to drive a speaker. On the cab it's just another connection that you could use instead of jacks, but XLR speaker leads are less common.

The Balanced Line Out is DI output for connecting to a mixer or a slave amp. If it doesn't have a speaker output, you could wire the two points that were connected to the old speaker to a jack socket, and use this as a speaker output. You then use a jack-jack speaker cable to connect that socket to the cab.

I think the pro/amateur thing is like essential/non-essential. If you make your living (or a good chunk of it) from playing music, and you need to rehearse to do that, then rehearsal becomes essential. If rehearsal is purely a social activity for you, then you probably shouldn't be doing it We've opened as we were told specifically by trading standards that we're now allowed. Obviously we've put measures in place, but it's not up to us to judge who should and who shouldn't be allowed to rehearse or record.
