an open string is there to be used!!!

tbh it depends which gig it is. my function or jazz gigs generally we use stands, but mr Rock / Metal gigs not at all. i voted yes since most of my work is with the former (i gotta go where the cash is!)

[quote name='Toasted' post='33587' date='Jul 18 2007, 01:40 PM']I thought it was OK, but you need to use the bespoke power with it... IIRC. Which is no good for me.[/quote] a bespoke power suply is not neccessary. it runs beautifully from my Gator Gbus 8

the ibanez weeping demon has both switchless and traditional modes with nothing more than a flick of a switch.

SC are (or at least were) the importers of Spector into the uk. However (along the grapevine again!) i have heard that they owe around £20+ million, and have been on borrowed time for at least a year!

all done!

great idea, ped. look forward to hearing more next time in "the Low Down" !!

ifound mine to have many very versatile tones available. the extended voltage just seems to keep the sound powerful, and the boost control, is a great addition. a great pedal even at full rrp ( even though it can be found much cheaper!)

apparently, Hulk Hogan was quite the player before he began wtrestling properly! can't remember where i read it though! also, Keanu Reeves is the bass player in a band called "dogstar" i think!

thomann also sell one. goes for about a fiver, but you'd have to factor the postage in to the equation. i have one of the thomann ones and i find to be a very funtional piece of kit. BTW, i must say that i have tried the mp3 case thing as well, but didn't work too well for me. I found that i couldn't do it up well enough to hold it - as I'm a pretty active monster when it comes down to it, and i didn't like running the risk of stomping on the transmitter!

i'm a lefty as well, and play right handed. not really for any reason other than i found it more comfortable that way. I now believe though that it is an advantage to have my stronger hand on the neck! as a former music store employee, i know the difficulties of getting lefty instruments. it's not the shops that are the problem - it tends to be the manufacturers.

i use the Nady VHF bass system mentioned before. I find i get the EXACT same tone through this as with a good quality lead. I have never had any problems with it, and i regularly use it in halls with 500+ capacities. The sound guys are often that impressed with the signal that the EQ is switched out on the bass channel

sorry guys, it's a bit too far for me- with the spaces i have avasilable at the mo. sorry
