That was the plan but to an original style vibromatic, just like you should have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom 13881 Posted February 15, 2018 Author Share Posted February 15, 2018 I think it has to be signed for Still £20, it's a few sets of strings or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 34610 Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 I've fallen in love with Duesenberg guitars. Showed my lass one yesterday and she just goes "Ah it's not that much more than the one you've got." I think she thinks all guitars cost 2 grand. A wonderful development.

Andrew 4226 Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 Josh Smith on That Pedal Show this week, absolute monster of a player They've been recording a show with Graham Coxon this week which I'm looking forward to as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 34610 Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 I like That Pedal Show but it is unbearable when Dan goes all dreamy over their guest playing. The silences as he sits with his awe face on are always way longer than is comfortable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cos honestly it borderline spoils the video for me at times. I feel bad for Josh Smith. He handles it well to be fair. Unbelievable player btw. Him and Ariel Posen must have been a good show.

Andrew 4226 Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 It must, who wants to go to swindon though? Additionally, absolutely fuck 13s on a Fender scale length in standard tuning! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 13881 Posted February 17, 2018 Author Share Posted February 17, 2018 I had 13s on my Cabronita Telecaster trying to squeeze a bit of a SRV sound out of it....never again. A lot of the time the concept of thicker strings is utter shite anyway. it's what a lot of pro musicians are comfortable with and that's fair enough but a lot of the time these guys also have rare, insanely expensive amps as well. Perfectly set up... I think Joe Bonamassa uses pretty thick strings live but he's been playing since he was 4 The closest I got that I actually enjoyed was Ernie Ball 'skinny top/heavy bottoms' which were pretty cool.

Tom 13881 Posted February 18, 2018 Author Share Posted February 18, 2018 A model pro. This was the set up tonight...making synth sounds on an old Casiotone. It sounded mental as fuck...so much so that I played for hours and missed the boxing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 13881 Posted February 20, 2018 Author Share Posted February 20, 2018 Got myself a Boss DS-1 with the voucher (and a bit of my own dollar). Its standard but I literally don't own a sensible drive pedal. I've never owned a sensible one in fact. Gonna use this primarily with the Marshall Class 5 as it's only got one channel.

Tom 13881 Posted February 21, 2018 Author Share Posted February 21, 2018 I don't really do exercises anymore I suppose....perhaps I should? Really impressed by the DS-1 by the way. Will report back later if needs be. It's pretty easy to dial in classic sounds or even if you do something random it sounds familiar. I've only had it through the Orange at the moment so I'll be interested to see how it works through the Marshall Class 5, which is basically the amp I bought it for. I've got high hopes anyway...

Andrew 4226 Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 It should do pretty well through the class 5, not a lot of headroom in a 5 watt amp (in theory) so it should push it quite nicely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 13881 Posted February 22, 2018 Author Share Posted February 22, 2018 Yeh I'm hoping so. My problem with the class 5 is that it's scandalously loud. My other amps are comfortable at reasonably low volumes but the C5 really shifts the air & the low end is fucking mental. If it goes above 2 the entire street will hear it. It feels as though they missed the point a bit, unless you live on a farm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
