I am using an Ampeg Pf500 into a Schroeder 21012 thats plenty for my needs ...................................at the moment

I have just bought one new , the TW model ,emerald quilt maple , beautiful , beautiful guitar , I love it to bits and can't put it down . The knobs don't have detents but have a ridge on top so you can easily tell where they are , the range of tone is incredible, the depth and solidity gives you so much confidence , plays like a dream , the sustain is just forever , it pumps out quite a hot signal . I will get round to personalising the set up slightly , but out of the box its a winner . I always played with a pick , but for some reason I feel a lot more confident finger style with this beauty, I am not sure why , I do still use a pick but I don't feel I have to , odd. I have had GAS for the Emerald colour for years , and the gig money of the previous year just about covered enough to let me order it. I am a very happy bunny

[quote name='WalMan' timestamp='1362169170' post='1996826'] Could bring it back to Sussex for Friday's gig, but then I disappear for a week or so, so unless its taken on the night that might be a problem as gigwise I then have sweet FA [/quote] Go for it , there must be someone close gigging who can take it on, I am not sure that gig handovers are going to work in every case , but as long as the handover is photo'd and documented I reckon the spirit is good , Jim will have the definitive on this , but just keep it moving would be sound. I would love to do the show but am gigging on Sat and off to the Welsh stages Rally on Sunday , on an invite, so I will wish all the BCers a great weekend , and hope the Baton keeps moving -
brilliant idea Si and very generous of your time.

Well done Garry , it got my vote , brilliant piece of work. that new pic looks like it should make it fun

[quote name='mep' timestamp='1362082437' post='1995592'] I have found my waistcoat and duly started the photo tribute to 90's Bassist & Fran. [attachment=128721:Fran & Me.JPG] [/quote] Top effort mep But I can't help thinking theres a scale issue with these two pics , Fran looks like he is short than his rig , You look like you are taller than your conservatory

Cheers Si I am getting a better feel for the sound now , though sometimes I know something isn't right but am not sure what treatment it needs , [quote] Bass sound is nice especially in mellow middle section! [/quote] I liked that too , I duplicated the bass tracks and had them EQ'd low and mid seperately and panned opposite, so that it had the effect of stretching the space , I think it worked OK when there was enough room to hear it

A Plea, a Rant, a Call to Arms, whatever ..

Great post Nige , Some of the music, bands and shows put on on by BCers are fantastic , I have been to a couple , plan on seeing a fair few more. It can be a touch awkward getting pass outs occasionally , what with gig and rehearsal time already taken out . Trying to write songs , learn DAW and mixing is great because I can involve the kids easily and it makes it fun , taking them to see the Terrortones or Dr Blue on the other hand , well I think I might end up a bit . But I will be attending more BCers gigs this year Deffo ed for atroshus spilling -
[quote name='wateroftyne' timestamp='1362040832' post='1994757'] He still hasn't responded to my email. [/quote] he might pop over for a nosey to see WoT the fuss is all about , did you mention BC or just send a hello email.

In a previous covers band the guitarist always insisted that we all had the right to veto any song we didn't want to play, seeing a grown man stand with his guitar looking like smacked arse while we jammed something he refused to acknowledge was hilarious. I left that band because it was damn near impossible to get any new songs in

Cheers Skol , thanks for the review , I think I am getting somewhere, some of the techniques are slowing getting in my head and I have bought that mixing book you suggested , onwards and upwards .
-
[spoiler] cheers Dave , thanks for that I was really pleased to see a vote [/spoiler] Thanks Skol for your thoughts , I shall try to remember , I am slowly getting the hang of it all

[quote name='wateroftyne' timestamp='1361920009' post='1993222'] He has email..... [/quote] [quote name='mep' timestamp='1361921046' post='1993246'] Edit. We have an email address on his webs site. How long do we leave it before someone contacts him? If anyone is up for it.[/quote]

I went for an audition for a band over 2 years ago and they still keep telling me that they will let me know. I keep going to rehearsals every week and even play at the gigs, I wont leave until they let me know whether I am in or not

Shall I [quote name='tedmanzie' timestamp='1361920098' post='1993224'] I'm a bit more concerned that he might not approve of this 'detective work' and track me down for revenge!! [/quote] Shall I re edit my post where I said big stu nailed it
-
There is an email address on the page , I reckon he will find 20 emails pointing him to the thread

I think Ted has it nailed , there is a photo on there that is a ringer . ed for muppetry

Si, I do vote for what I think is best , don't worry , I only made the comment because there was a vote for mine , I was being a little tongue in cheek really . I take it as read that my own is the best , but will always vote for someone elses to be fair .

[quote name='RockfordStone' timestamp='1361898906' post='1992726'] yay i got a vote [/quote] Same here , I am chuffed .

I have had a few good listens and put my vote in , and I didn't vote for my own

voted , and it appears to be a popular one , but it is superb .

[quote name='xilddx' timestamp='1361657312' post='1989055'] Brilliant! My gig on the 28th April at Bush Hall in Shepherds Bush London has just been confirmed, how do I get it added to the list please? [/quote] I think there is a thread Nige , If you PM Jim your contact details he will add to a list he has Emailed around , then just keep your eye in and shout up that you want it I guess , organise the baton handover and away you go. It is going to be fairly organic in the route , so if local guys organise a few dates to keep it local before it moves on fair enough , but as long as it keeps moving it will be good . Ed to add Do you have it back Jim ? is the next date available ?

quality entry again this month , some beautiful entries , it will take a few listens to decide on those .
