Getting a bit off topic here, but for Bacchus... I hooked up my M13 MIDI Out to my M9 MIDI In. Tap tempo is sent - but so are any selections made using 2A, 2B, 3A, 3B, 4A and 4B on the M13. I suppose that could be useful if you could work out how to use those combinations. ISTR that expression pedal...

For the soul band I have a Roland GR-55 and I have a GK-3 pickup on a Squier Stratocaster. As a pedalboard the GR-55 is limited in the number of effects you can apply and control in any one patch but you can change patches. It's fairly old tech now but still sold. For the other (rockier) project I'm...

Looks good.

What's that white stuff on the pickup?

Not that it matters too much now that it's sold, but if you believe the site below (which personally I am inclined to do based on various other forum posts I found), this guitar is a bit of an oddball that was only sold for a couple years. Pieced together from MIM and "Eastern" parts...as...

I used to use an HH VS Musician solid state amp into an Altec 15" guitar-voiced speaker in an open-back cabinet. I thought it sounded fine. The other guitarist told me it sounded crap.

Mind you, he was trying to sell me his De Ville.

I tried listening on my laptop which has half-decent speakers.. still couldn't hear the bass but this morning I hooked up the laptop to the stereo and played it through some big old Kef Calinda speakers - yep, can hear the bass now!
I do think the bass should come up a bit.

Beautiful.

Very elegant.

Listening to it on the tablet I enjoyed it but couldn't hear any bass. I'll listen to it again on a decent system.

Hmm, it's £60 cheaper at Wembley Music Centre.

I popped down to look at acoustic guitars in Guitar Village for an hour today and came away with an itch for a Rathbone short scale acoustic. http://guitarvillage.co.uk/product/rathbone-no-1-mahogany-natural Guitar Village's ad says it's 36" scale :shock: but the brand website says otherwise. h...

Yeah. Sorry.
I did set up an account, downloaded the WTF? 270MB for the downloader/manager?? and haven't installed it.

This popped up in my FB feed; I don't use a DAW so don't know how much use it is but free until Oct 31st 2023. http://www.uaudio.com/uad-plugins/compressors-limiters/teletronix-la-2a-tube-compressor.html?utm_source=fb&utm_medium=paid-social&utm_campaign=store_meta_giveaway%2Bpersona_music-in...

Looks pretty neat.

I was at a wedding recently and the guitarists and bassist were all going through helixes. Sounded really, really good. They also had an electric drum kit. Drummer had a tiny mixer for his kit, bassist had a tiny mixer for everything. In ear monitors all round, they sound checked silently, brought ...

Best offer accepted at 20:30 BST. I hope the buyer knew what they were getting.

Looks like it's disappeared from eBay.

I also think the last figure of the date looks dodgy.

Do these look right for a '99 USA Stratocaster?
