Maybe the band he's in now just doesn't suit the Ric? The next one might.

Can I be the first to say that Dave is an honest gentleman, packs stuff nicely and gets it in the post when he says he will despite having been up all night with a new baby :-)

I have one of these http://compare.ebay.co.uk/like/200825741619?var=lv&ltyp=AllFixedPriceItemTypes&var=sbar&adtype=pla&crdt=0 very little use, any interest? It's very heavy. Whereabouts do you live?

[quote name='Graham' timestamp='1359639606' post='1958048'] You didn't go to Anglia Polytechnic did you? As I remember there being a Torque there, and you are in Cambs..... [/quote] Anglia Polytechnic University, or 'APU'. They ran an advertising campaign on the sides of buses in 2001, slogan 'Make it APU in 2002' I looked forward to the following year's campaign: 'Have a wee in 2003' Anyway. Crap amps. I had a Marshall transistor amp, 100W (yeah right). Looked like the classic Marshall but ran over with a steamroller. Sounded as thin as it looked.

On the other hand, he's maybe just not very good at expressing himself in text and is so afraid of timewasters he's overdoing the seriousness.

[quote name='silddx' timestamp='1359496103' post='1955825'] You missed a couple out mate. It won't make it any less bizarre though [/quote] And what's all that about pimps? Has someone been deleting stuff? edit: go lemoncello!

[/quote] [quote name='tonyquipment' timestamp='1359440610' post='1954709'] Appearance is irrelevant, that was uncouth and uncalled for. [/quote] bizarre.

And if it's a valve output, don't switch it on without the speaker connected! That's very likely to release the magic blue smoke.

[quote name='okianok' timestamp='1359487665' post='1955576'] what cab could i use with the pre amp and power amp [/quote] A lot of love for Barefaced here.

[quote name='lowdowner' timestamp='1359135704' post='1950581'] I had a heated conversation with a muso friend who claimed that some instruments are very much inherently easier to learn and play than others, and drums were particularly easy. [/quote] Can he play drums then? All instruments are easy to play. No instrument is easy to play well.

I wouldn't worry, Wayne is definitely not a scammer/rip-off merchant.

First name 'Chris'. Surname...'Morris'?

It's business time!

[quote name='thisnameistaken' timestamp='1359386293' post='1953914'] One or both of them will turn out to be total psychos so your decision will be pretty straightforward once you've met them. [/quote] This.

[quote name='KevB' timestamp='1359380743' post='1953785'] Despite really good singers being a rarity I'd have to err with the majority on this one. He's not just going to be your singer, he's going to be your front man. He will be the main focus of attention for the audience. He's [i]selling your product [/i]to them and to the venue who you are hoping for a repeat booking from. If he's not commited to the majority of the material it will probably show sooner or later and make the whole band look a bit lame despite the musicianship on show. [/quote] Problem is, he doesn't appear to want to sell the band's product - he wants to carry on selling his old band's product.

Where are you from? I could drink beer and listen to that

According to http://www.ampeg.com/products/pro/svt4pro/ the SVT preamp has a completely different circuit; it uses three 12AX7s whereas the SVP has four 12AX7s and an ECC81 (mine does anyway). I promised you a bunch of resistors didn't I - I'll get on it, sorry for the delay!

Can I be first? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QMWUYMWlEyo

[quote name='yepmop' timestamp='1358596397' post='1941861'] I've been frustrated at trying to find my sound for a while, oddly enough I can achieve it when using my Vox headphone amplifier!!! but my Ashdown combo does't come anywhere near. I really love that Motown bass sound (and yes I know a percentage of it is from the player). [/quote] Have you tried amplifying the headphone output of the vox?

[quote name='Dingus' timestamp='1358519857' post='1940717'] . Regardless of any debate about the actual playing ability ( or lack thereof ) of the musicians , a legend has been built up around those bands that the music never really warranted any level . [/quote] It's all a matter of taste though, isn't it. Or as Lol Coxhill put it: beauty is in the ear of the beholder.
