  10. Pickup selector problem

    in Musicians' Corner

    Posted

    I have a slight problem with my pickup selector for my 72 Telecaster custom and was wondering if anyone knew the easiest way to fix it? If I select the neck humbucker (which I usually use) it keeps on popping back into the centre position. I have been using tape to hold it in place but it is frustrating as i occasionally flip to the bridge pickup mid song. If anyone knows how to rectify this problem, you're knowledge would be much appreciated!

  14. Hiwatt Hi-Gain 50watt Amphead

    in Musicians' Corner

    Posted

    I've got the 50w Hi-gain head without the reverb controls, made in england. I think it's really good! without being an amp aficiando I went for it without properly hearing one, read a bit about them on the internet, saying they were good with pedals etc. also cosiderin Duane Denison, J Mascis and Pete Townsend are fans.

    I find Hiwatt amps have quite a Marshall characteristic about them. Trebley heavy and lots of grit. I personally like the Marshall sound, so it depends on your tastes. You could probably colour the distortion to your needs with a Tubescreamer or something.

    No point in the 100w model, as you won't get that crunchy break-up at the right volume, and you'll spending a few more quid on a Power Soak/Hotplate.

    As you say. it's good gettin the crunchy break up using the master and I push it with an OD3 which works for me. Wouldn't go as far as saying it's perfect but when do you ever think that with amps? It's really responsive and it's got a nice gritty sound which doesn't stray into metal distortion unless you use the hi gain channel (which I don't)

    With the Hi gain channel, it makes it more versatile I guess. It's perfect for hardcore, it's clear sounding but you can make it sound very aggresive!

    I like to think of it as sounding imperfectly perfect :up:

    Just to let you know I bought mine new for about 600 from Fret Music. The boy said it was slightly mare expensive as it is English made.

    How you enjoying it?

  15. Scotland's World Cup Qualifying Campaign

    in Sports

    Posted

    I think Burley has been quite unlucky though: no-one saw the Boozegate affair coming, he's not had the rub of the green with injuries, and the Glasgow centric wanker press have had it in for him since day one. He has made the odd selection blunder here and there, but which manager wouldn't considering the overall lack of quality in the squad?

    Anyway, that's me getting ready to head down, my first Scotland game for about a year. Mon!

    :up:

    Spot on! :up: Hope is important!
