[quote name='MythSte' post='1033357' date='Nov 22 2010, 11:11 PM']Christ you guys are lucky! Its all Ashdown EB180 combos and Crate something-150's.[/quote] Aren't they! Rehearsed the other night and it was a Fender Rumble 100. It did the job. If I'd spent some time tweaking I'd probably got a sound I preferred out of it. I've got a rehearsal tonight, somewhere different, (as long as things go to plan) and arranged to hire an amp (mine won't keep up). I'm a little worried as last time we went there we hired a kit and, well, it wasn't particularly impressive. I've just found the website for the rehearsal studios, apparently it's a quid for a 50w practice amp. Oh well, should make for an interesting session EDIT: also describes itself as state of the art? Uh, well, not really.

[quote name='pqs' post='1031607' date='Nov 21 2010, 05:51 PM']Well we had a practice yesterday and had a really good time,although I have been playing weeks and one guitarist has played for 7 years and the other one has been playing at least 20! I got a bit nervous when one of the guitarists opened his cases and had a Gary Moore Les Paul and his back up was a Fender Strat compared to my Yammy. We had a good time and are meeting up in a couple of weeks this time with a drummer (he couldn't make yesterday so we used the drum machine on a Line 6 combo). I played through an Ashdown Electic Blue 15 180 watts it was ok seemed loud but didn't have it two high as I tried to hide a bit at first but turned it up as confidence grew. I am looking to probably buy one of these next year when I have saved a few pennies although one of the guys has offered to let me use a [b]mesa boogie rig.[/b] Thanks for your help Pete[/quote] Ooooh, you lucky devil you Good to hear it went well. Nothing wrong with they Yammy, it does the job it's asked to do. Cheers

Once again I must send my apologies for not be able to attend, what promises to be, a delightful event. Jeez living in Devon can be so dull sometimes All the best. PS. Has Pete's avatart resigned yet? I'm still available for the tour, I've cleared my diary

[quote name='chris_b' post='1029690' date='Nov 19 2010, 05:48 PM']They do.... the last three things I wanted to buy got snapped up before I even noticed the ad![/quote] Indeed. Happens to me too. And then there's the fact that most of the stuff I look at and go 'I'd like that' is miles away and collection only.

[quote name='silddx' post='1014257' date='Nov 6 2010, 01:40 PM']Just got the orange ones today and put them on my Corvette Fretless. They look incredible, even in normal daylight. God knows what they are like under a black light. I got them from Guitarsuperhero on ebay for about £20 including shipping. Bargain. Only took four days to arrive aswell. Acoustically they sound rich in the mids and bright, and they reek of quality! [/quote] Damn it man! Just stop it!

[quote name='thisnameistaken' post='1024723' date='Nov 15 2010, 03:13 PM']At least we're still safe with "How To Steal A Million". Whoops...[/quote] Oh well that's another one gone. I've got images of Nigel turning up at a Take That concert dressed as Audrey Hepburn, for some reason

My year? Well some ups, some downs. Some swings, some roundabouts. No gigs, maybe a band. So so.

I may have posted asking about these before. [url="http://www.gallien-krueger.com/products_mbCombos.html"]GK website, MB combos[/url] Has anyone got any experience of them? They seem a very good price for what you get, under £500 at most places. However, some of the reviews I've read there have been concerns about reliability - mainly speakers, uhum, farting. Didn't know if anyone could shed some light on these. Cheers

[quote name='silddx' post='1023846' date='Nov 14 2010, 07:56 PM']I wear them because I like to look like Audrey Hepburn [/quote] Please don't say things like that, I thought Audrey was very attractive - now I've an uncomfortable image in my head. Do you go the whole hog? Which movie do you go for? Charade? Roman Holiday? Breakfast at Tiffany's? In actual fact don't tell me I wouldn't be able to watch them again

Didn't like any of it. As a bass player he's very talented and so are the others at their instruments, but musically it doesn't interest me in the slightest. And promo? It came across as bits and bobs recorded on someone's mobile phone.

Probably for their approach Paul McCartney Mike Mills - REM Kim Deal - The Pixies (despite not actually owning a Pixies record I like her style) - but a nod and a wink to the chap from Doves.

[quote name='thisnameistaken' post='1022092' date='Nov 13 2010, 01:51 AM']I would rather kill myself. I used to try to offer humourous modes of death in response to questions like this but I no longer find any joy in it. I would just kill myself.[/quote]

[quote name='silddx' post='1021914' date='Nov 12 2010, 08:45 PM']I had a white headless Steinberger double neck until recently, mrs silddx nearly left me saying she couldn't tolerate that level of sheer ugliness in our home. I thought it looked beautiful [/quote] She's obviously a women of impeccable taste mrs silddx You've done a cracking job with paint again, you've got a bit of a flair for that. Good work mate.

[quote name='Sarah5string' post='1021721' date='Nov 12 2010, 05:37 PM']Hello! bottomendian grassed you all up asking about me... Thought I'd quickly check in and say hi, my bassiness is kind of on hold at the min after both my band and lessons went balls up for totally random reasons. I'm not fulltime at work in a really stressful job, and currently battling generalised anxiety disorder and bad panic attacks. Other than that life's peachy I keep meaning to come back and say hi but I've been feeling sh*te recently so haven't been doing much of anything other than work! I will be back soon when I'm feeling more 'me'...[/quote] Good to see you visiting I think you need someone to buy you an interesting drink in the BC Arms and have a game Mornington Crescent

I found two transcripts - one is just root notes, and [b]just[/b] root notes the other is a bit more interesting, which I think is the actual line. Which one do most of you play. I don't like being different....well sometimes I do
