never bothered using ebay.. few peeps i know been done over on it so i avoid it.. does it usually take long for items to come once ordered?

its depends where they come from.. that thing i just bought is coming frmo a company.. and they'll ship today so i'll have tomorrow..  sometimes it can be ages.. every seller is unique.. thats why theres a feedback system.. ebay = addictive :)

just my feable attempts at playing... its easier to hear where your timing is out when you hear things back :)


its got a cool retro look huh? its a brand new thing.. its just a little practice amp.. i looked around and this got the best reviews out of all the ones i could find out about.. its only about the size of a CD in height! :)

snuck out of work anc picked up a little multi voltage adapter since i dont wanna pump it full of 9V batteries all the time..
and got some new batteries for my mic 

you're really supposed to use a mic pointed at an amp (or acoustic guitar soundhole) to record.. but this thing also has a headphone out for silent-ish playing with the overdrive (and any other in future) effect on.. which apparently this lil thing does real well..

* excited *

Title: Re: is it here yet?
Post by: Mindless Minority on December 07, 2005, 11:10:17 AM
Not too shabby a song list that. Sunshine of Your Love = guitar classic.


How's things with you anyway?
Title: Re: is it here yet?
Post by: Don Seer on December 07, 2005, 11:12:07 AM
yeah will be nice to play it when that lil amp (its only 12cm high!) is here so have some distortion.. my electro-acoustic sounds way too clean!

me same ole same ole..

You trying to fuck your next doors neighbours off or something?

Any reason why your starting with the guitar playing? I was considering it a few years back but figured it's something you really need to pick up as kid so I never bothered with it. Interesting hobby though I bet.

naww i want to record.. as its easier to tell when my timing is out hearing things back (and see how shit i sound to everyeone else) .. the amp has a headphone out so i can listen with phones on and not piss people off or pipe the output to the PC and record/run through my stereo..

main reason i started was that new bob dylan documentary called "no direction home" that was on bbc2 about 3 months ago. amazing docu.. and inspired me a lot.. i've always liked the idea of playing something... my mates got a what you'd called 'normal' electric guitar (fender copy) and its been useful to get tips off of him too.. the guitars are strung the same so i can play on his when go round.. just that i dont need an amp if i dont really want to. had a go on his with an effects box he's borrowed from someone on sunday and it made whole load of difference.. since notes would hold longer once you'd moved onto the next one etc.. all these pedals give you more time over playing raw acoustic.

So I'm guessing your broadening your music taste to coincide with all this shindiggery as well eh? I know you've never been just a rap man, but you must be listening to some more rockier stuff like. Two words mate - Arctic Monkeys.

Was gonna watch that Bob Dylan documentary but I think I probably just got drunk instead. Like the music, but the man himself has always got on my tits a bit. Got into a really good Bob Dylan biography awhile back mind, can't remember the name of the author but it was quite the read.

Post by: Don Seer on December 07, 2005, 11:34:06 AM

yeah i;ve always listened to other stuff.. but i've got into dylan a lot, a bit of clapton.. i've always been into hendrix (dude had 6 fingers i swear! ;)..

i'm just doin it to have fun and try play songs i can pick up

Yeah, I've got a mate who is obsessed with Hendrix. Just playing Hendrix covers is boring though.

Stevie Ray Vaughan - Pride & Joy

Check that beast out.

Title: Re: is it here yet?
Post by: Don Seer on December 07, 2005, 11:55:55 AM
well i have been messed around on ebay before.. but this i'm sure is good. the seller is a record store with over 8000 feedback.. part of ebay is learning to use feedback etc..

Should have took my advice earlier, been going on about them for god knows how long. And the song is more then good, it's fantastic. Best intro to a song I've heard in fuckin ages. It's going to get some serious airplay in coming weeks, depending on what else gets released on Jan 5th then it will probably get Number One too. I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor was Top 10 for 6 weeks!!! For a first release from an indie band that's fucking crazy.

Album will get to number one without a shadow of doubt.

Shit, best guitar player ever in my opinion! That guy is way to good, he's all solos.

He's no Jimi but yeah, one of the best. Pride and Joy is one of my favourite songs.
