[quote name='billyapple' timestamp='1348677256' post='1816848'] I've got one I could bring, but it's not pink. Will that make a tonal difference? [/quote] Possibly, but mines pink enough to make up for it

[quote name='Dr.Dave' timestamp='1348572908' post='1815306'] A pedantic northern gobsh*te writes..................... What they had was Old PeculiEr - not PeculiAr. The A version meaning particular or strange , the E version denoting an area containing places of worship. Thus Old Peculier is named for the ancient parish of Masham. [/quote] I was drinking it, not reading it

By all means flame me if required, [i]but [/i]as there will be guitars in the drum room, if anyone has a Gibson LP they could bring I'd like to AB it with my TS Epi LP.

Meant to post this at the time. A beer from the Southampton beer fest, brewed in honour of Jet. Apparently he was local?

so, anyone going to the SE Bash who wants it first?

[quote name='cheddatom' timestamp='1348563775' post='1815120'] I think sometimes you get an over-abundance of musicians in the audience, and a majority of them would rather watch you play than dance about. [/quote] that's me. I'm the one staring intently at the bass player!

Does intelluctual property rights not apply?

last night's gig was very much a last minute affair - the call came through at lunchtime. A gig on a school night? What the hell, why not. It was for a do in a pub on the river (Thames), not sure if it was a birthday or engagement, but we announced both. Despite being asked to play quietly for the first few numbers, then turn up as more people were in the pub, we had a full dance floor and the punters seemed to like us. There were a couple of minor issues (i need to have another look at my noise gate) but overall a great paid rehearsal for our gig next week - details to follow on the gigs forum. They even had Old Peculiar on tap - dangerous for a school night! Unfortunately my enduring memory of the night, will be that on the way home on the tube, a woman opposite projectile vomited on the woman sat next to me. I sh1t you not.

Good gig, MacWifey enjoyed it too Great db sound too, a lot of clarity and not just a dull thunk. unfortunately I won't be able to make the November one as my uni course is on Wednesdays .

at the moment i rarely play any of mine, as I play guitar in the band I'm currently in. It's nice just having them here though, sort of like a comfort thing.

will take a walk down later

[quote name='dave_bass5' timestamp='1347960196' post='1807076'] Do you know that the companies doing so aren't paying royalties or a licence fee to use the names? Who are you talking about? [/quote] Good point, no I don't know. But having seen the disclaimer spinynorman posted - and similar ones from other companies - I'd hazzard a guess there are no royalties. Could be wrong though.

[quote name='Jacqueslemac' timestamp='1347811600' post='1805313'] Please add me to the list. Thanks. [/quote] first or fourth (or fifth)?

[quote name='LukeFRC' timestamp='1347739154' post='1804568'] how can you trademark a sound? You can patent the circuit that makes that sound if it's special enough - but a specfic tone? sure I can deconstruct that and remake it digitally to make a look-a-like, cos it's not the real thing- it's a digital copy. [/quote] but if I make a digital copy of my vinyl albums then sell them, that's illegal.

So it's illegal to copy music, copyright infringement applies to instruments, but it's okay to copy an amp sound - say which amp it's meant to sound like - then sell it? Confused?

[quote name='silverfoxnik' timestamp='1347544501' post='1802217'] Had a look at this and it looks worthwhile.. Are there any other good causes people want to suggest we donate to? [/quote] Can I suggest The Amber Trust? http://www.ambertrust.org/ "The AMBER Trust was created to help blind and partially sighted children, who have a talent or a love for music. Music really is of special importance to these children.... For others, many of whom have severe learning difficulties, music therapy may offer a lifeline, helping them to reach out in a dark and confusing world."

oooh! beaten by seconds in to second
