  1. I would recommend ableton. It can do everything you want and more. There are various "toys" like keyboards and midi controler that give you ableton light for free so you can try a cut down version before you buy the full version and if you don't like it, these "toys" can be used with any other decent package.

  2. One thing I've found with my Jag, though, is that it's crucial to use the right gauge of strings, otherwise the playability and overall sound of the guitar will suffer. I know that can be applied to almost all guitars, but I really have found this imperative with Jags in particular.

    I'll second that, they (Jaguar's) really need to be setup well and looked after or you will have lots of issues with tuning and buzzing. I think this is just the style of the guitar rather than an issue on where it was made.

  3. If you've seen us you'll know that we play a style that can be described as electronic based indie music, with drums veering towards dance beats. You can listen to us at Free Korps on MySpace Music - Free Streaming MP3s, Pictures & Music Downloads

    Anyway we are looking for someone who is into our sort of music and can play to a click track

    If you are interested (or know anyone) please send us a mail via myspace or email info@freekorps.co.uk or send me a PM

  4. the boys from free korps said they had a good time and definitely made some new fans.

    Indeed we did! This was a great night, well put together and lots of people came out in support!

    I would recomend this to anybody looking to play somewhere different.

  5. peavy classic, orange rocker, ???? what styles do you play

    I play with alot of delay, kind of like U2 or some Coldplay sounds. (We don't sound like them though! I'm just talking guitar sounds) I use the drive/distortion from my GT8, but normally push a little gain from the amp in.

    This should give you an idea of the sound.

    Not really thought about peavy amp's, I've had no experence with them.

    I could go above 700 for the right amp.

  6. I've decided to get ride of my Marshall TSL-100 Head and Cab because i'm fed up lugging the Cab about & I only use 1 channel on the head.

    I'm look at either a Fender Blues Deluxe or a Hot Rod Deville. Obviously I'll try before I buy but has anybody got a view on these amps or is there something else of similar size I should consider. 1 or 2 speaker is enough, I don't want another monster. Same kind of price as these 2, less than 700, and like I said I only use 1 channel.

    Any help or recommendations would be most welcome!

  7. I concur with everything you have said. After we signed up for this last year, we got all the information/terms through and we decided to not take this serious at all. It is a money making battle of the bands competition that will rip off your mates and fans.
