is it just me, or do they both look pretty much the same?

a marshall 7400 head, a white demonator and a tone hammer

They don't tend to have vast amounts of bass stock, but what they do have is normally pretty reasonable.

although their reputation is not great, i have been able to try stuff at the bass cellar on denmark st. there is normally a few interesting bits to try. the other option is music ground, who have moved into the old "andy's" shop on the corner. there is normally a pretty good selection there, and they always seem keen to help. I've also had good experiences with Macari's on charing cross road. again, keen to help, and normally some good stock / prices too.

it depends on the situation really. with more driving material, the drive is always on. howevr when doing more 'souly' material most likely not. horses for courses!

i'm full time too. when i'm not gigging/ recording/ writing, i'm teaching. the key thing for me has been the networking side of things - these are the avenues for people to put you forward as a player / dep / sessioneer. great chops, reading, and image help to open avenues too. as has been said before dogged determination can take you far ! PS. monday's my day off too!

+1 to the intellitouch tuners. great units, dependable and accurate. i always have two - one in the office / teaching space, and one in the teaching bag! TBH most of the cheapy ones are just that! i have also used the ENO brand. As long as the battery is good, you'll have no issues (as long as you make sure the only string vibrating is the one being tuned) all this obviously IME. YMMV of course!

+1 on the marshall great sounds, great price!

absolutely tragic.

picks from Kerry King, Mick thompson, Rob trujillo (whilst with Ozzy), Zakk Wylde - not the ones you get with strings or emgs!, gary moore pick used on the song "parisienne walkways", carmine Appice drumstick from a show i did with him. Gene simmons signature, Steve harris' signature a few times over!, Flea's autograph, EVH's autograph, an Iron maiden promo vinyl boxset of best of the beast signed by the band at the time (steve, nicko, dave, janick, and blaze), zakk wylde signature, michael angelo batio. signed records, cassettes signed by nicko, Chuck schuldiner, terry butler, bill andrews, paul masvidal, sean reinert, steve di giorgio, kreator, acid reign, morbid angel, cathedral, ian paice, chad smith, carcass, entombed, sepultura (arise era), xentrix i'm sure i'll remember more later, but that's it for now

the m*nge box ??

i have a friend who was the audience clapping on a peter gabriel live album. apparently they were out of time with the performance, and the clapping sound was sampled and my friend had to sit through the particular song 'clapping' on a keyboard. whenever i have done live recordings, i'll not re do anything. either it's good enough to release or it isn't!

if you have a p bass, try raising the g string side of the pick up. should help to balance the output of the bass

would he take an air cheque?

if only...... saw them a couple of years ago in London. totally awesome! mind you the sound was aweful until my mate (who was in the welsh guards at the time) threatened to teach the sound man about mixing have a beer for me, and enjoy!

i did see a weeping demon wah pedal on ebay the other day. It retails around £110 yet the seller had set his buy it now price for a used example at £185!
