General Music Chat

And Mark - there was a Thunderbird bass that me drooling on the counter top where I was chatting up a young lady who worked there. etc...sorry.

well, i hope you were polite and cleaned up your mess. i still pine for that '66 non reverse T Bird IV i let go. Most don't think the non reverse ones are as cool looking, but there was something about the "ugly beauty" of that bass that did it for me. (not just a looker...it was a fine playing and sounding bass too. dumbass me.)

It almost drove me crazy in the beginning but I have a good handle on it now. I used it at rehearsal, tweaked it then used it at a gig Friday night. A good friend said all my patches sounded really good. I am creating patches for each artist we cover. This thing really is the bomb. To heck with carrying around a heavy amp. I plug direct into the mixer via two XLR cables pan one hard left and the other hard right. It is a HUGE stereo sound! I just got my Marshall back from repair sent it back to Sweetwater those folks are great didn't charge me anything not even shipping both ways. I am selling the Marshall. I have been using the Blackstar Series One 50 keeping it for use if I ever need a real amp. Frankly at this point I just don't see a need but just in case.

I am completely enamored by the new Helix I can't even tell I am not using a high end amp. It responds to the guitars volume and even has feed back like a real amp! here is a video of me using it last Friday and Saturday

I liked the sound of the 2nd video much batter than the first link. But I liked what you were playing, just not the tone.
Thanks for posting because I was able to watch a bunch of your videos that showed up in the side bar. I like them

We used to have our own demon dancer who had to spend the night "dancing" all by himself for most of the night at one of the venues we played. Since the camera never sees the light he can be your own "Shadow dancer"
