Guitar Nerds Anonymous

Can't disagree.

Without going into too much detail - and I probably did overstep the mark a touch - I think the main reason for getting booted was I got into a debate with WH who basically tried to tell me that Islam is not homophobic and that she recently went to a gay muslim wedding overseen by an imam. I tried to continue the debate by PM which was harrassment apparently.

I would argue that I have not got a clue what 'islam' (if you actually get the uncontaminated truth) says on homosexuality, but I do know that in my experience I have met a lot of muslims, many, many of whom hold views that make the casual homophobia of my father's generation look like an extreme version of Peter Tatchell. I am all for tolerating different views and opinions. I am happy to judge each muslim as an individual. But I am not happy debating with people who live in a fantasy-land where islam and homophobia are thought to be utterly unrelated.

True Dat.

Gayism and Islam/Christianity etc are totally incompatible. Its like a black person trying to join the KKK. It is a fundamental part of these religions that homosexuality should be punished by death. So why does either side (the gay couple & imam/vicar) even pretend that its a non issue?

If you want to be gay be man enough to accept that definition of your "faith" you are evil and must be destroyed. Why would a gay person even want to be involved with religions that condemn them?

Confused?

Oi you lot! Get off to the "Going to a Mosque" thread. Go on! Shoo!

Cool man, have you had any problems with it? Some of the reviews mention a vibration of the cab on certain frequencies, which isn't really acceptable for £1000 ! The guy who makes them sounds nice enough, but courriering an amp to and from southend could get pricy if it needs to go back for something silly...

im pretty much sold on the idea, the only alternative in the price range really is a deluxe reverb reissue at £800, packed full of printed circuit boards and put together in a factory... i much prefer the idea of the cornell, its just Convincing myself i need one !!!

I naively offered a guy who failed to sell a used one on ebay £400 quid, he rejected, with hindsight i should have offered more

wanna sell!? :D

honestly do it. its worth 1k imo.
i spoke to dennis about the rattle issue over the phone once. the cabinets are made elsewhere i believe, and apparently there was a batch of 20 back pannels which were the wrong size and created a slight rattle. i spoke to a guy who bought one of those. he called dennis and the next day he had a new one delivered. dennis is a super efficient guy and always makes sure his customers are 100 percent happy with the amps.
the amp wipes the floor with any fender amp, even the expensive hand wired ones i tried. i couldent be happier. ive had metal head friends of mine turn around and say "that is the nicest guitar sound ive ever heard."
trust me you will not be disappointed. i will never sell this amp. sorry.
if you buy one and dont like it, you can punch me. twice.

you will not have to pay for any courier fees.

I could equally have mentioned our debates on christianity.

What would you say to a female bisexual who believes in contraception and abortion and who describes themselves as a catholic?

Depends, is she fit?

I'll let dennis know that i was talked into it on a fixed gear cycling forum!?

:)

just realized you have an eva !

now a cornell opposite an eva... would be nice. very nice.

you have lovely taste.

lol yes the EVA is very very nice,
some people joke about amps being so loud they will attract attention from the police...

but on sunday i cranked the amp in my apartment whilst my only direct neighbours were out, and heard a loud knocking at the door after 20 minutes of playing, had to explain myself to two disgruntled police officers - although they did say it sounded good!

weber attenuator on order.

Ha. Nice work Barber. Weber make good stuff too. I have their Sig8s in my champs. Always wanted to try one of their "proper" speakers. Apart from anything else they look super cool:

I too have been interacting with my neighbours via the medium of loud guitar. My aussie neighbour accosted me in the hallway last night to compilment me on the AC/DC!

haha nice one.
im surprised you dident go for the thd hot plate?

he's not straightening his hair.

The THD hotplate is a much lower quality item for twice the price, as far as i can figure.

It uses resistors, whereas the weber uses an actual speaker motor (magnet minus the cone) and splits your signal between your 'real' speakers and its 'dummy speaker load' creating a more realistic attenuation, rather than a bunch of cheap resistors which just get really hot,

also THD in their narrowmindedness, make you buy separate models for 8 ohm, 4 ohm, 16 ohm set ups etc...

The Weber is switchable between all three, and so can be used with virtually any head and cab, or any combo... 3 hot plates for the price of half a hotplate !

Atleast, thats what i can figure from reading the various blurb about each item...

fantastic ! sounds much better. im just not familiar with the weber. will look into it.
i dont have much use for attenuators anyway. i have big boy amps at the studio and little amps (like the cornell) for the home.
let us know how you get on with the weber

Back from the painters yesterday...

looks nice- what is it?
who did the finish?

Bonkers! Want!!

YouTube- Red Witch Fuzz God II

looks nice- what is it?
who did the finish?

One of my own creations for a customer. Finish was done by a local car painter (just clearcoat like)
Today's job is to oil the back of the neck

very nice, jammy.

very nice jammy, im not usually into stuff like that, but when you see a good quality piece of wood and craftsmanship you can't deny it

are you a proffessional luthier? is that your job?

im sure its probably like asking, how long is a piece of string, but... what kind of price range do you custom build acoustics within?

are you a proffessional luthier? is that your job?

At the moment, yes!

im sure its probably like asking, how long is a piece of string, but... what kind of price range do you custom build acoustics within?

Basic acoustics start at around the £1200 mark and go up from there.

This is a bit of a cheeky long shot but… would anyone have either a bass amp or just a smallish cab I could borrow for a gig next weekend?

I’ve finally had to give the beloved Ampeg combo back and my friend who’s long-term borrowing my 4x10 cab has unfortunately managed to temporarily knacker it. They’ve offered me their Hartke 3500 head to borrow but that’s not much use without a cab. I don’t need a lot of welly just enough to play a small venue un-mic’d. It’s for a low-key (mostly 1950s rock n roll covers) band at a family party next Saturday so it would only be used by me (by which I mean our wonderfully delicate bass player) for 2 sets. Anyone got anything? Can offer beers/cash/cuddles.

Can you help a funk brother?
