ok... I'm jealous. Well done

I hate you

PM replied. Damn I want this

400 for a 5150! I think I just came!

If you've got a multi-meter, you can bias the DSL50 yourself, it's piss easy. I'm a tard, and I managed it

I use Elixir LTHB's on all my guitars and they feel great to me. They sound good out of the packet and they last for... months and months and months. I had a set on a Les Paul for 10 months, they still sounded, felt and played as good as new.

Worth every penny.

I used to use D'Addario's too... they are great strings. If they lasted longer, you could count me in that club as well.

I actually feel embarrassed for him

I did love the grabbing of the crotch as he walked off though... superb

You have some odd choices there.

I had a 60's Mustang(not a re-issue) and it was hands down, the worst guitar I've ever played. Sold it on.

Why spend 1800 on a Les Paul when you can buy a lovely Fender Mustang for ~ 500?

o_O gtfo

Yep, sure has. Gibson LP Standards... or Traditionals are they're now called, cost 1700! I just got a 2008 Classic for 1250. Fender are about to put their prices up too. Bad times to buy a guitar.

Mark did the stuff with us as well.

How awesome were the huge dogs? haha

As it turns out, my band recorded at the Byre too.

Astronot - Recording Soon! on MySpace Music - Free Streaming MP3s, Pictures & Music Downloads

It was a good experience, but I wasn't majorly impressed with the final results

Yeah, hook me up with some as well Dan

I'm just demo recording at home, so it's real handy for me

With the impulses, you still use your amp head, it's just another way of tone shaping.

I've got the Ampeg SVX and Amplitube software. I can get some fuckin awesome bass sounds with the SVX, I'm very happy with the sounds I've dialled in. I've still told my bass player he should purchase a Sansamp. He's gonna wait and hear Nick's I think

Anyone here using cab impulses? It's basically a cab modeler, you take your direct input signal into your interface, then run the cab impulse on the DI'd channel. Pick the cab you want and the position you want the mic in etc, voila, super.

I guess it's cab replacement. I'm going to experiment with it this weekend when we do some demos. Run the miced signal and then a DI, play around and see which sounds better

Apparently it's also good when you record quietly. I don't have a link or anything, just check out teh google

This thread is teh lulz!

Adding a room mic to drums is awesome. It brings out a lot from the cymbals and if you compress it right, can add a nice crunch to the drums. I find it to be great for effects.

My mate just bought a new car, so he's out.

ass-cabbage riffsr.

I just lol'd

It's doable. I've been learning how to do home recordings for 2years now. I've noticed a huge difference from those demos to where I'm at now. It's all about practise and reading. Don't expect awesome results straight away, I haven't got awesome results yet. I've got pretty good home demo recordings though. Other people have told me that they think it's good, but I spend a LOT of time reading about this shit.

You'll need good equipment to help you along. But start lower down the ladder, if you can get decent sounds from shit gear, then an upgrade is worth it. Beg, borrow and steal what you can. I found that recording in studios really helps you along. If you wanna learn, watch producers like a hawk.

My band are recording with Nick from MMW in March, I'm expecting to learn a lot from him(and Dan) when I'm there. It's a steep learning curve, but a lot of fun. Good luck.

It's for a mate, could be picked up when we're at Nick's next month, I'll see if he's interested.

How much you looking for?

Happy Birthday Dan...

Mesa Boogie .50 Caliber+ head. New tubes in the power amp with less than 20 hours on them. Has a nice sound but isn't what I'm looking for. Will take 470 + postage(I'm based up in Thurso)

Note: This is a 110V amp and needs a transformer to run with it. I've got one, but it's too big and heavy to post. Pics available on request.

It's a nice amp and I've looked after it well, I'm just looking for a more modern sound.
