Really?

Got this great new app yesterday called Dark Sky. Does really good live precipitation radar which is accurate almost to the minute. Best bit is being able to zoom out in 3d and watch weather systems all round the globe. Oh it has an alert setting you can give yourself up to an hour's warning of rain wherever you are. Pretty handy for commuting by bike I reckon.

Sweet!

I used to buy cheapo squier teles and covert them to esquiers with a few upgrades. Might do another one soon actually. E-squier with a Bigsby?

Chest infection. No energy for running or "proper" cycling in nearly two weeks. Fatty fatty fat fat. Urgh

Heh! cheers gents.

Nnnnnnnnnice.

Finished this yesterday, it's off being mastered now. There's even a bit of twin guitar harmony action in there. *kitchen sink

The pre-amp in a pedal idea seems sounds. Or just find any OD type pedal you like that works. Josh Homme plays though a bass amp in QoTSA doesn't he? I have a feeling David Gilmour played though a bass amp too.

Just started thinking about the worse pedalsI ever owned (Dod "Grunge" by a mile)and it lead me down a misty memory lane of early terrible sounding gear. Powerful nostalgia ju-ju. Gonna complie a post of my first "rig" for my own amusement.

PS - got a gig at green note in camden tonight if anyone's bored...

how was it? I keep meaning to get in there.

Howdy sorethroat. PM coming re: Boardman.

Cheers bro. Just re(mix 14)tweaked a couple of things and sent it off to be mastered in Tchermany. Will probs hang on till it's come back tomorrow night to go fully public with it.

Where's this studio at then? Can't see anything on the main page. Those Nest Collective dudes have been studiously ignoring my calls/mails/messages looking for a gig for a year now. I wouldn't mind but you'd think they'd show a bit of solidarity to the dude who used to run the acoustic night upstairs at the OQH bitd (ahem).

I'm sure they're sound in person but like so much of these things, I find you need to get face to face (and preferably play live in front of) anyone before they'll give you the time of day. Understandable I guess but easier said than done when their open mic is so sporadic and oversubscribed.

I'd play that. In fact I have a gig coming up that I'd like to play it at. Drop me line.

Cheers Fest'. Incoming !

Ok gather round gather round.

^have at it

My homage to 1950s surf music:

Hehe. Nice

Think I got it.

Had: A slight boost centred on 41hz and 110hz (idea being that these are fundamental frequencies of low E and A on a bass) and a brutal high pass cut-off below that to manage eny super-subby energy. Despite the theory, any boost below about 50hz is just going to manifest itself as sub-bass I think. It was very indistinct and blooming. Almost sounded like it had reverb on it. Most odd.

Have now: Moved the slight boost just north of 100hz and substituted a low shelf (-3db reduction of everything below about 100hz). Have lowered the threshold in the low frequency section of the multipress (multi-band mastering compressor) on the output and added very slight roll off of very low end on the master Eq. Might need just one more tiny tweak tonight to check it's still solid enough in the low end but I think I'm about there with it.

EDIT: that was this morning. the below is mix no.13. I'm still not really happy but I have to move on or i'm going to lose it.

Now, who can recommend me a London recording studio with a good sounding live room for recording acoustic instruments in? Not Soup, The Premises or Goldtop please (used several times and want a change). Cheers.

Jeez, I did eight... EIGHT separate mixes yesterday almost all of which were due to the inability to sit an upright bass track in the mix. Every other one seems to veer between "no bottom end" and "massive blooming flubby sub-bass". The sweet spot is proving elusive.

Great cars.

Accelerated like a angel but braked like a devil.

alright Jezza

In a World... In a word, hilarious...

Just came here to post that. Loved it.

shiny! knobs! awesome.

We should have a sort-of terrible quasi-pun thread.

You so quasi

Jonny on Brompton, cab road, Waterloo. Howdy. Would have shouted but I've lost my voice.

Decided I want to put a bigsby on my Tele. It's a yr 2000 American Standard with a Glendale bridge http://www.glendaleguitars.com/glendale20.html and compensated brass saddles. Anyone know if it's possible to keep the bridge (modified I assume)?

This looks good but I want to retain my bridge plate. http://www.vibramate.com/vibramate-v5tev2-install.php
