Soooo.....anyone want to buy an original DOD chorus pedal, with the original box....?
-
Edited original post - I want to daisy chain other 9v pedals to it.
-
I have an original DOD FX62 bass stereo chorus pedal which won't power up with a 9v adapter. The blurb says to us a 10v adapter but it obviously powers up with a 9v battery. I want to daisy chain other 9v pedals to it as well. Am I missing something or just being monumentally thick...?

If Bowie rated Lorde that much then she was probably the only logical choice. Other than just having Bowie's mic stand at the front of the stage and the band playing behind, without the vocals. Because really, who's going to be able to follow him? No-one.

[quote name='ambient' timestamp='1456243767' post='2986980'] No problem, I'm glad to be of help . Have you got Transcribe software ? Get it if you haven't. It's free, and is amazing. You can isolate sections, phrases etc, and slow them down. It's really useful for parts like this.

Thank you Ambient, it was me who was on the verge of a bass/window interface trying to learn this for a new project, this might well help.

If Kanye didn't exist, the world would be a lot less entertaining. In a "can't wait to see what utter horse $hite he comes out with next, cos he's obviously deluded on a biblical scale" kind of way. More power to ya Mr West, looking forward to the next instalment. 😁

8/10 by guessing most of em. Which, by default makes me metal as f**k.

[quote name='Jebo1' timestamp='1454542247' post='2970765'] How about £210? I know "we're only half way there..." But, "Whooh hooh we're living on a prayer." Sorry. These are lovely guitars BTW. Good luck with sale. [/quote] I read that first bit and thought "cheeky git"... Comedy genius.... 😁😁😁

A great sounding guitar, the double humbucker at the bridge really kicks. I will chuck in a strap for nowt too. I would prefer collection as I've had bad experiences in the past with couriers. I am on the Isle of Wight but I can meet at one of the ferry terminals (Portsmouth/Southsea/Southampton/Lymington) no problem.

I used to play in a rock covers band whose guitarist/singer had never heard "Alive" by Pearl Jam. He's in his late 30's.

Having given my last band notice back in August that I was leaving and was willing to honour dates until the end of the year, the others put an ad looking for a replacement. Auditions took place in September with four different bassists. When I saw the guys again the weekend after, I asked how the auditions went. Number 1 was the classic "all the gear, no idea", had turned up with a £3000+ bass, but didn't know how to work the rehearsal studios in-house bass amp head. Told the guys he was a session player with loads of recent gigging experience. When asked how many gigs he'd done this year he reply was "two". He then proceeded to "solo" over every song he'd been asked to learn. Number 2 turned up on foot as he didn't have any transport of his own. When the guys asked him if he wanted to go through one of the songs on the audition list, he replied "oh yeah, should be ok with that one, I learned it on the bus on the way here."

The Next Generation Of Players To Inspire.....?
Grassie replied to spongebob's topic in General Discussion
I think there are players influencing the next generation, but really only within metal and jazz. The players that influenced (and continue to influence) me are people like Mark King, John Taylor, Mick Karn, Pino, Nick Beggs, Flea, who pretty much all worked within a "pop/top 40" format (ok, maybe not so much with Flea). Maybe that's the point the OP is trying to make - that kids will have to dig deeper for influential players rather than just turning the radio on and listening to Radio 1. 😊 -
I thought Hootenanny was good this year, but then its the first time in two years I've watched it... Definitely less alcohol on set this year as Vic Reeves wasn't nearly as pissed as he usually is. And Ade Edmondson stayed away...

New Order with no Hooky is just not cricket. Saying that, if the new bass playing lad had had his instrument strapped round his knees, y'all would've been ragging on him instead of Barney enjoying himself. Pioneers nonetheless. 😉

Have had 45-105's on my PJ for 3 years (although tuned down half a step). Now I've finished with my band I've taken the old strings off, given the bass a good clean and ordered some 35-95's. Been meaning to go back to a lighter gauge string for a while now, but only ever used 40-100's before. Fully expecting to make some truss rod adjustments, but have always set my own basses up, so not a major issue for me. 😊

Mark King Fans. They're a sensitive bunch.
Grassie replied to bubinga5's topic in General Discussion
Most people think of slap bass and Mark when they think of Level 42. The other vital ingredients (for me anyway) was Mike Lindup's falsetto and Phil Gould's songwriting and drumming. Level 42 would have disappeared without a trace after a couple of albums if it weren't for those two dudes. And as far as looking for stuff that MK has recorded that doesn't involve slap, check out Dominic Miller's album "November" from a couple of years ago. His playing is unrecognisable. -
Adored STP. Loved Velvet Revolver and was lucky enough to see them in 2008, just before Scott quit. One of the last great frontmen, derailed by drugs and demons, but always armed with a melody and a great voice. Now playing "Thank You" at not inconsiderable volume. RIP Scott. x

[quote name='timmo' timestamp='1447693137' post='2909560'] Seems to me that it is just people getting offended by nothing. I have no idea what timing has got to do with anything. Would people still get offended if the magazine was released ln September when 145 people died and hundreds injured in Nigeria? [/quote] Who's offended? Not me particularly. Again, it was an observation.

[quote name='fretmeister' timestamp='1447669190' post='2909308'] Magazines always get flack for this sort of thing - but the final copy was probably signed off 2 months ago. I remember when Guitarist Magazine was vilified for not mentioning Gary Moore's death - the mag was on the newstands 1 day after the death was announced. There was a huge amount of people who clearly thought the mag hadn't been printed 1 day before arrival in the shops. Tossers. [/quote] I wasn't giving anyone flack for the photo, I merely stated in the thread title that it was bad timing. No-one's fault. Although taste is always subjective. 😊

Tim Commerford is this month's cover star. The feature starts with this photo...

Nothing (probably) until May, then it'll be Adam and the Ants at Portsmouth Guildhall.

I would really like them if it wasn't for that twatt!
Grassie replied to ubit's topic in General Discussion
Stone Temple Pilots too. I know Scott Weiland is a monumental bell end, but that band is not going to be the same without him.
