Count Bassy

Impressive (though not unique). BUT, why put something like this on You Tube?

I though he said some pretty sensible stuf, but nothing that's not been said before, but boy did he take a long time to say it.

[quote name='KevB' timestamp='1449242337' post='2921913'] And that's the point a lot of 2 guitar bands miss. The good 2 guitar bands build a sound where the 2 complement each other, harmonise etc. If you listen to classic Thin Lizzy, Wishbone Ash and even Quo the 2 guitars are often playing different things. As you say, 2 guys chugging away on the same thing in the same time quickly turns to mush. [/quote] Pretty much what I was going to say, especially re Wishbone Ash.

[quote name='FlatEric' timestamp='1449232849' post='2921783'] the drummer thought he was Animal, from the Muppets, [/quote] Nothing wrong with that! Animal is my favourite drummer of all time.

Whitesnake's version of Ain't No Love

My lad has also used PMT in Northampton and has had great service, both buying, and getting a ssymbol replced under warranty.

Oh, and Johnny Winter

I was transfixed all the way through. Thought it was brilliant. - and a real eye opener on the man. I thought Wilko came out of it very well.

Joe Cocker, and The Blockheads with Ian Dury.

Neither of those two items but I run a 112MNT (with an LMIII) and I love the sound.

I've experimented with compensated nuts/zero frets, and I've got to say that the effect was remarkable, tuning in the first 3 or 4 frets was noticibly better, without having to try too hard, and the variations at the bridge became much smaller. However the lower the action at the nut/zerofret the less noticable it becomes, and these days I have it a lot lower than I used to.

I have the Quantum (32" Cricket Bat). Brilliant tone & action (IMHO). Sadly I've moved onto 5 strings, so it's not played much these days. Re the sharp string end! What you do is clamp them up, markthem and cut thjem about 3mm shorter. That way no sharp ends sticking out, and you can use any strings rtaher than hving to hunt down double ball ends. (and I've never had a string slip on it either).

[quote name='Phil Starr' timestamp='1447080059' post='2904643'] So the answer to your question is 'because they have differing power supplies.' [/quote] And output devices/Heat extraction.

Although doubling the watts "is hardly worth it" in terms of volume , is there any case for saying that if you are running a 250 watt amp at 250 watts then it is running flat out, so components will be maxxed out. For the same watts and volume from a 500W amp the amp and its components will running well below max, and hence might be more reliable? I might be talking Bollocks.

[quote name='seashell' timestamp='1446837837' post='2902847'] So are some of the tracks mentioned above just pieces of music that happen to have a bit of singing in them? [/quote] Quite. My comment re Tubular Bells was meant to be tongue in cheek. Same goes for Pick Up The Pieces

[quote name='Count Bassy' timestamp='1446837315' post='2902839'] Mike oldfeild: Tubular Bell's Can't be arsed to time it, but the vocals don't come in until well into the second side of the LP! [/quote]

[quote name='bonzodog' timestamp='1446587729' post='2900682'] Motley Crue tomorrow in Birmingham supported by Alice Cooper [/quote] My, how times have changed.

No, no, and thrice no. Saw them a few months ago and was not impressed. Not my sort of thing at all.

Having seen Royal Blood, I (personally) wouldn't bother to try and emulate anything they do.

Maggie May?

[quote name='TimR' timestamp='1445439302' post='2891496'] Usual way to do outdoor PA like this is 100v line transformers. You could probably hire a decent setup for the day and have something that does the job properly quite cheaply. [/quote] Thanks. I'll make enquiries.

[quote name='keving' timestamp='1445585375' post='2892507'] It sounds like you are looking for one of these [url="http://www.performanceaudio.com/item/rolls-da134-distribution-amplifier/32581/"]http://www.performan...mplifier/32581/[/url] or these [url="https://www.studiospares.com/ProductDetail.aspx?p=359431"]https://www.studiosp...l.aspx?p=359431[/url] [/quote] Thanks for the idea, but those would have the distibution at the to of the hill, and cables of, sy, 20m, 100m, 150m, 230m etc running down the hill. I was hoping for some way of daisly chaining, like a multidrop network. - also the second one is somewhat expensive!. I guess I was thinking of some sort of reverse DI box. XLR in, line output (to the local amp) and buffered/boosted XLR Balanced output (to go to the next box)
