Ignore him :0)

Yeah you do need good equipment to transmit the full potential of the kit live. I am coming from an IEM live perspective and recording studio usage so don't have these issues to face.

I am not sure if I DO prefer acoustic kits for recording, to be honest. Unless the kit is tuned and kept in a stable atmosphere and looked after, miced up and set up for recording, they can be a complete pain in the arse to work with! I think the advantages far outweigh the disadvantages with electric kits.

My brother has a TD12 and we love it to bits. The thing never goes out of tune and is a dream to record with. A bit +1 from me! We have it set up in the lounge and my bass the other side of the room, all going in to a mixer and headphone box with independent volume controls - because the drum heads are mesh they are very quiet (the rubber ones are quite loud so you have to turn up the vol to compensate) so it works like a dream. Live it goes through the PA and sounds brilliant.

Pretty sure greeneking had one in a Lakland Precision...

£20 is pretty good considering the amount of acts I reckon. I will be there for sure!

I noticed yesterday that the new Eden nemesis combos are wedge shaped. Off-topic I know, but not the most off topic thing I noticed yesterday.

I will! Cheers mate ped

Cool mate, I will czech that out on Fir! Cheers!

I seem to remember the front of #213 has that same finish 'cracking' as your beauty - it looks awesome though.

WELL! What a superb evening. Christophe was an absolute gent - very funny and really down to earth. Shattering guitar playing but really tasteful too. A master of any style! Pleased to have met a couple of Basschatters there, too. Cheers ped

Crikey, the battlestar looks great!

I love that #213 mate... it is 1986 though I think. Show us some more pics!! You are right Kev, that is in amazing condition for its age! Mine looks like it has been dragged through a hedge backwards - and so does #213 above! Gotta love 'em though!

Best wishes to the family for your loss. RIP mate. ped

Just realised you are quite close to me! *waves*

Oooh OK... you should probably watch that one with caution, then! I think the only film I have watched after reading the book was 'free Willy' (Read in at Center Parcs) and was pretty disappointed

Oh son. Really.

Hehe nope. I had no idea what it was until I put it on. Good stuff if you ask me, though I can imagine the book is even better as the film had a lot of scope. Who is your avatar then? ped

I LOVED V for Vendetta

Well I don't love my windows as much as my bass but I clean those too... I just like the gloss black shine Nick seems to achieve on his fretboards. Don't you?! l8z ped

I don't know how you get the neck so shiny Nick - I tried the WD40 and window cleaner trik on mine but it never stays clean for long!! Perhaps I will book my bass in for your valet service? Cheers ped

Hehehe OK!

Are they notoriously difficult to find, then?

I have moved and live in Headington, Oxford now! doh! The serial makes it 20/11/1989, a full year younger than mine (15/10/88) bless its socks.
