I have for sale a Marshall 100W Dual Reverb Valve Amp - 2 x 12" Full Range Drivers. The amp comes with footswitch and power supply cable. Valves have been replaced and sound loud! I am also reluctantly selling my Ibanez S-series Electric Guitar which comes with hard case, hex keys, lockable strap and gutiar stand. I will sell both for 600 or may sell seperately. If you are interested, please call 07919325404 or email schristie@avcmedia.com

i have recently dismantled my electro acoustic guitar. Wee problem though with the volume and tone controls. I couldnt get the volume and tone knobs off so gave them a wee twist . Think i have broken the transducers inside. Anyone know where i can get replacements and what the correct term for these parts is, if they are actually transducers etc. cheers steve

mixers, pas and lights. Would it not be true in saying that a performance is dependant on the atmosphere and signal quality from instrument to listener. You guys should maybe have look at A.C Lightings website and also check out D& B speakers (specifially E9's ) and the new midas range of mixing desks (The warehouse in edinburgh could give you details for suppliers.) They are all affordable for customers and beat half the shit bands have to put up with in venues. Also Le Maitre effects machines ( haze, smoke, ooooo bubbles!) They are all top notch. the shite ( peavey, celestion, behringer,etc ) that bruce millers and R&B try to flog is not worth the money that most people part with. You should definetly check out PLASA website.

cables You guys should make your own guitar leads to order. You can get Neutrik connectors and 100m of shielded top quality instrument cable for well under a hundred quid from Van Damme connections. The BBC use these guys for supplies. They stock absolutely bloody everything and will make to order as well. check out their brochure.

Any one who is anyone should drop in tomorrow at the malt mill. Open mic sesh. went last week and it was high standard stuff. drums,keys,bass,acoustic are available. i might even pluck a number. Oh did i mention cheap drinks.

nae luck well dont go near a modern studio im afraid!

bit of both methods i think if you want a rocking sound. record your kit live. good hint is double mike your snare drum. over and under. dampen the room as much as possible. duvets, carpets, motherin laws( only if she has big knockers!) gate each mic input when recording the kit, especially your cymbals and toms as they will pick up spill from the kick and snare btu vice versa. 7 mics is a safe bet for a standard kit.(kick, snare x 2, hihat,toms, overhead x2) then transfer each track individually onto your pc. this takes time but its worth it. use any program you are happy with but a minimum of 16 tracks is good. ive used seven so there are 9 left. i then individually record rough gtr(guide for bassand rhytm and should be deleted from final mix) bass, rhythm gtr, lead gtr, vocals( clean no effects), backing vocals( slight reverb) ,keyboards, samples etc etc i set my levels and add effects then put a 2:1 compression on the whole mix and burn to cd. no need for the studio if youve got a warm garage.

the signal chain you could argue till christmas about digital resolution but increasing the sample rate can increase the chance of data errors which results in reverb sounds becoming unsmooth (aliasing & quantisation errors). analogue recording doesnt have this problem as effectively it has an infinite sample rate( the true sound) increasing the sample rate basically allows more steps to replicate the analogue signal but allows easy data storage. 96khz will use more space than 44.1 or 48khz sampling but you will struggle to hear the difference. i believe in analogue for recording and digital for processing, that way you can cut out what you want and keep what you like.

nice tone and action. comes with strap and assortment of strings. negotiable ideal backup or beginners guitar.

yeh...my vitriol are ace, my fave songs are grounded, always: your way and oh father.
