  1. Blue Hat for a Blue Day - Nick Heywood
  2. Firestarter - The Prodigy
  3. Turn to Stone - Joe Walsh
  4. A bit out of left field this one but a bassline that really caught my attention back in 1976. Later found out it was Chuck Rainey so no wonder it's a groove monster. Takes a while to build up but then really hits the sweet spot. Cracking album by the way.
  5. Little Red Corvette - Squiggle (formerly known as Prince)
  6. Master Blaster - Stevie Wonder
  7. Break Like the Wind - Spinal Tap
  8. 100 guitar rigs are very 'old hat' now iny opinion. Marshalls in particular need to be cranked to get them singing and it's precisely because of this that they've developed 25-30 watt valve amps. Having said that, one of our previous guitarists played a Les Paul through a cranked Marshall Bluesbreaker combo (30 watt I think) a few times and it was deafening. I thought it sounded fine at lower volumes but he obviously didn't!
  9. Guitars can make a difference too. I always find that a loud Les Paul has a huge, fat sound that hogs a load of frequencies. The only success I've had with them is with guitarists that are prepared to stay out of my frequencies, but they are few and far between.
  10. Papa's Got a Brand New Bag - James Brown
  11. Have used Behringer gear for PA for ages now. Power amps, Graphic, Monitors, Feedback Destroyer etc.. Never had any problems with anu of it.
  12. Life on Mars - Bowie
  13. Hungry Like the Wolf - Duran Duran
  14. 21st Century Schizoid Man - King Crimson.
  15. Yellow - Coldplay
  16. The one that has really blown me away is a lowly Valeton FET preamp pedal. It fattens everything up quite beatifully and makes every frequency sing. It is also a buffer so nothing goes missing in the chain. Think I paid £40 for it off ebay and that is a mega bargain. It can also make a Strat sound as big as a Les Paul.
  17. Shoot Your Shot - Junior Walker
  18. What Did He Say? - Victor Wooten
  19. First proper gig with my Talman last night, and first gig for over 2 years for the band too. Really enjoyed playing it. Super comfortable and fun to play. Put it through my 'little' rig which is Genz Streamliner 600 into a GK 210 cab and a few pedals (Ampeg Scrambler and Valeton FET preamp). I couldn't hear what I was playing because of being swamped in vocal and guitar foldback, but by all accounts it sounded epic out front. Good to be ut and about again, and best of all my back was OK at the end. Happy days.
  20. Wild Thing - The Troggs
  21. You Got Me Dangling on a String - Chairman of the Board
  22. Always on the Run - Lennt Kravitz
  23. Girl from Ipanema - Antonio Carlos Jobim
  24. Gave the Talman a run out at a full volume practice yesterday. Holy Moly! It pumps out the sound and has a very hot output. Super comfortable to play and sounds huge. This is going to see plenty of action when the gigs pick up again.
  25. I'm Only Happy when it Rains - Garbage
