  1. Hughes and kettner statesman. They are awesome.

    Have had a few fenders as well (pro reverb, deluxe reverb reissue and a supersonic)and they're very nice but the statesman has a clean channel that's splendiferous and a dirt and boost channel as well. They also take pedals really well. Plus they go for peanuts 2nd hand.

  2. we went there.  It was clean, shiny and new looking and well thought out. decent environment for working on songs writing or a quieter type band. 

    we wouldn't use it for a full out  loud rehearsal.      If you've got a loud drummer  or mr marshall stack man.  then the PA ain't gonna hack it. 

     

    people were cool and friendly tho.  I'd give it a shot if I was in an originals band that isn't about volume

  3. ok no worries. 

     

    good luck with the hunt.   Have you tried Oil City pickups btw? he handwinds em and is as good as any of the other hand winders imo, but is a bit cheaper than them.

     

    failig that irongear/tonerider are always worth a pop, plus don't rule out axesrus own  pickups. Had a set of those, and thought they were pretty good tbh.

  4. Had a flashback, and its not as good as the TC nova or repeater.  the tap tempo is a pain in the butt, and the controls are quite irritating if you need to make changes during a gig.

     

    I am selling a TC nova Delay IB modified if you're interested.   Fantastic pedal, mint condition.      Has a separate tap tempo switch, can save presets, and sounds awesome. Also contains built in modulation.  Give me a shout if you like to have  alook.

  5. at a festival  a few years ago,  the headline act guitarist let me use his matchless DC30..  Blew away everything i'd ever played before. Completely different level.

     

    I'm a valve man personally, but there are plenty of good solid state amps that sound great.  most fender solid states are decent, the Roland Cubes, JC range, and the old sessionette amps are all very good and perfectly giggable.   

     

    tried a blackstar ID amp couple of weeks ago, sounded very good to me.      for the bang for buck they look very good.

     

    guess what I'm saying is that you're best having a look around, and playing lots of different amps.

  6. For some reason this is reminding me of my commute to work this morning. On the train next to a group of really loud inner city youths boasting about their various sexual conquests (who has that kind of conversational energy at 8am?)... one of them stops the others mid-conversation and postures like he's going to say something really profound. "ey yo!..." he begins, patting his compatriots on the arm to further grab their attention "... you know what?!", the others turn their heads in willfull anticipation of the wisdom he is about to impart "... Bitches be looking different on Facebook!... I'm sick uh dat shit!" The power of his words seemed to be lost for a split second until it really sunk in and a fitting response was found. "yeah n**ga!"

     

    He has a point, I thought as I alighted to join the throng of commuters at the station... Bitches do be looking different on Facebook.

    montrose has really gone down hill.
