Very useful link - many thanks for posting!

Anyone have a good mp3 backing track of parisienne walkways? Cheers, Me Sorted now - thanks anyway!

So you think the appearence of 5 individual coil cases is a cosmetic thingy? or do you mean each "single coil" is in fact akin to a stacked HB? Link to big pic of 513
-
From what I've read on the 513, it's not quire that. It's 5 single coils, the outer 4 of which combine to make 2 humbers. Now, of these four, each must be tapped somewhere within the coil to produce the lower output necessary for the reduced output humbucker mode. It is very interesting...

I played one some months ago and thought it sounded nice. Clearly had a meaty/bluesy tube tone to it. ← I've got the pedal board - the Valvetronix Tonelab SE. It's wonderful!

Like this you mean? ^^^ My Baby!

My Latest recording, a rant about the way that we poor nicotine addicts are being treated in the UK, is on sale. Bit Ramones-ish maybe, who knows. The third track on the EP - "Cwm Curri" - was a hoot to do. It's about 20 of me performing in the style of a Welsh Male Voice Choir, singing the Welsh Hymn "Cwm Rhondda" with new words about eating Curry. The whole thing can be got from my website.

PRS Dragon IIs. Love em to bits, and Mc'Carty's a close second.

I heard a guy play one when I was on holiday, and it had a terrific range of sounds.
-
It appears that way, but never having been to the US I don't know. They are going to ban it in public like (most places?) over there. Infact Ireland already has. ← It;s getting so faschist in the UK I wrote a song about it. Seems to me alcoholics are better tolerated here than nicotine addicts...

Hi, Not called in for a while as I#ve been busy so happy new year everyone, and I really like the new look on the forum!
-
lovely guitar Bill! How's she play?
-
I think so - as is the way with anything computer based, as time goes on , they get more powerful so you can pack more programming into it. I believe the xt has more voices, programmability and so on. I like mine for recording anyway.
-
I voted playability but equally important is sound. However, like looks, most things ca b sorted f the instrument is relatively sound to start with.
-
What's the other one? I've tele, strat and an LP with P90s that REALLY sing!
-
Hmmm sounds very interesting. How's it applied Setch?
-
Thanks for the reply! A Blue Vee appears to be on its way in that case! I'll still do some test strips with the dye though!

Not being faecetious - but learn to get the instrument in tune - get an electronic tuner and use it. Once, that's there, listen to some of your favourite music and just play along anything at all - playing your bass will help you identify what the bass player on the recrding is doing - listen for notes of the same pitch as yours plays. then, try to find the same notes he or she plays, and where they are on YOUR bass. This should give you an ear for where the stuff you're interested in is in terms of the sound of the notes. But remember no instrument is easy to play well, but perhaps bass is the easiest to start on.

I've done a search, but haven't had any luck at all. I'm wondering if it's possible to stain the wood (body and maybe neck) and then finish over the top of the stain with tru-oil? If no-one's tried, I guess my answer is to try it on some scrap and see what happens! But rather than re-invent the wheel, I thought I'd ask first.

All sorts of things! For my solo live stuff, I go into a Boss multifx then into the PA mixer. Band stuff, I use a Fender tranny combo, via the same multifx (but in manual mode, not preset). Thinking of adding... One of my studio rigs - the valve ZVex Nano-head through a boogie 1x12 cab (miked up for gigging as it's only 0.5 watt) Recording - all of the above plus a Pod XT direct into the mixer.
-
As long as the action is reasonable, I'll play it. Have different setups on most of my guitars, teh LP being higher than the others (and having the thickest neck) - it's nice to have something to fight sometimes - especially for practising!
-
PRS and strats are great shapes for me, but I admit to owning teles and an LP too. Can't say that the LP offers me problems - just prefer the look of a DC.
-
I'll try that - great suggestion! Many thanks. I've been using some sort of in-ears for a few years now - and I have to say they are without doubt the best bit of kit I've ever had - bar none - for exactly the reasons you give! They're also great on those nights where youcan never seem to hear ordinary wedges - it's just there right in your head!

Hi Guys. here's the scenario. I use the monitor out from my PA mixer amp to feed my in-ear monitor system. However, the output of the amp is too hot for the in-ear - even when turned right down I get distortion and have to keep the input level of the in-ear to an almost off position. I believe that soldering a resistor across the hot and ground contacts of the jack used would drop the level somewhat - but what resistance should I go for?
-
Yep. As for basses, I love my Warwick Buzzard, then an explorer next.
