Stroopy121 Posted November 20, 2011 Report Share Posted November 20, 2011 An idea has popped into my head; to try to put together a charity CD of local artists' recording covers of really obscure, old songs they wrote back from their first bands etc, or covering old tracks by other local (or local-ish) artists that they think are either really awesome or hilariously terrible.Would anyone be up for submitting anything or this?Any thoughts on whether this is a good idea to actually follow through, or one of those "it's a nice idea, but no-one would actually buy it.." kinda things?xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, you could get some oldies from bands that are slightly bigger now and such. I think that's a great idea. Those that will remember the bands back then will feel nostalgic while new fans will be like "they recorded this? BRILLIANT." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HateEvent Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 A question for guitar-mod types.My guitar has two humbuckers, one volume control, one tone control and a 3 way switch. Is it possible to get rid of the tone control (as I never use it, and just have it set to full, like those guitars that just have one volume control and nothing else) and change it to a volume control? That would mean I'd have two volume pots. I'd like one assigned to each individual pickup. Is that actually possible?Also, can the middle toggle on the three way switch be set as a kill switch, so it would go BRIDGE > OFF > NECK?You could always bypass the switch, use the volume as a master volume/neck volume and use the current tone knob as a pickup selector that works as a blend rather than distinct 'neck, middle, bridge'.Failing that though, the suggestion that you made at first is easily do-able.

Soda Jerk Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 I'd record a song for that too. I'd probably cover a lesser known Sisquo song. That one about undies. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think a blend would be much use to me, as I really ever only use one or the other, and rarely ever use both together. I'm basically wanting to do it so the neck pickup volume is set really low, so I can keep my OD on all the time, so the bridge will be set high, for the full gain tone, and when I flick over to the neck, it will be less gainy, a tad quieter and alot cleaner.

kirsten Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 Hey, I'd bet if the $p33d guys recorded some of their work from before they went commercial and sold out, minds would be blown!xxI still don't like this new version of Lone And Lonesome Road that's on their myspace. Where is the hell is the emotion in the "DADDY OH, DADDY WHY?" of the original? Get them involved and they can rectify this in the new recording.

KarmaTsunami Posted November 24, 2011 Report Share Posted November 24, 2011 Do One Up still buy in second hand CDs?I realise they don't give you a great price but I've got a bundle I want to shift and I'd rather do it in one go as opposed to bits and pieces through the trading forum.

Guest Gladstone Posted November 24, 2011 Report Share Posted November 24, 2011 What's the market like for 1 bedroom flats in Aberdeen right now? (Buying/selling that is (nae the lease market)) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soda Jerk Posted November 24, 2011 Report Share Posted November 24, 2011 Musicmagpie are alright, though they can only accept stuff that has barcodes on them. I've got a whole heap of stuff released on little indie labels which have no barcodes.OneUp still buy second hand CD's, though they are picky about what they take. I took two bags-for-life full down to OneUp, and they didn't want most of them. Only the pretty mainstream stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Gladstone Posted November 24, 2011 Report Share Posted November 24, 2011 Depends if you're buying or selling...The market will still be the same! Whether you're buying or selling will make a difference as to whether that makes the market favourable or not for you!Are 1 bedroom flats going for a lot of money just now? Are there a lot / few on the market? Etc etc.I'm possibly interested from both sides of the market. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Easy Wishes Posted November 24, 2011 Report Share Posted November 24, 2011 We were recently looking at two-beds. Basically, there is a shitload of stuff on the market, both shit heaps that need loads of work and quite nice places, but it's very much a 'buyers market' in the sense that sellers are finding it difficult to shift property.Bargains are to be had, for sure.
