Was wondering about additional pre-amp stages in front of the duet and home that might work in terms of gain staging and potential additional noise? My buddy was using the LA 6A in front of a duet as his duet and getting some great natural and squashy guitar and vocal sounds.... but if the pre-amps in the duet are as good they claim, is it worth postponing outboard channel strip hardware in favour of moar mic goodness?

I'll take pics of the nonemoreblack(tm) when I pick em up tomorrow (forgot the calling card today).

My "none more black" (black warp and weft) gustins finally arrived (at the post office needing an £8 customs charge to be released). Only been three months since ordering. Three months in which I've had the previous pair taken up three separate times and become convinced that I've ordered the wrong cut for the new arrivals.
By the time I've taken up the 35" waist regular fit for my stumpy 32" pins they look practically square. This is party cos i'm short and fat (34-5" waist and 32" instep) but , mainly a side effect of all gustins coming is one (stilt-like) instep size fits all. By the time they've been altered to fit short legs the hem is roughly where the knee was on the original cut. the result is a pair of jeams that make me look like depression-era hobo.
Anyone want to make an offer on the unadulterated 35"x infinity blackies? Will post pics when I pick up tomorrow.
Despite all the long wait (no biggie if you're in mad rush, which i'm not) i may still order another pair in the slim fit. The stitching and style is bang on and the fabric quality is undeniable.
pics tomorrow. shout if you wants.

still waiting for the goodies to arrive btw. gah.

Sorry missed the UA price query. Negotiable i'd say but around the £800 mark I'd have thought.
-
Awful news. Only met a couple of times but all if this love is justified. Very obviously a wonderful man.
-
Aye. The new Ty record is on Drag City so no Spotify. Dammit.
Highly reccomend the Ty Segall Band: Slaughterhouse record (which is on sptfy). Like a noisier, garagier, psychier Sabbath. It's f*cking immense.
-
Awesome. Been on a bit of Reatard (and Ty Segall) kick lately.
^^Sorry LW, can't think of anyone off the top of my head. Good bass players are always hard to find though so I'm sure you won't be bandless for too long.

^^^^Cheers tibbly. both of those sound right up my street.
Fibished the Goldfinch recently. Started so strongly then fell of a cliff about 2/3 of the way though. Huge disappointment.
Currently reading H is for Hawk by helen Macdonald which I'm really enjoying. Darkly twisted and very personal nature memoir. More about grief and obsession than nature really. Dig.
Also dipping in and out of of a bio of Thomas Cromwell and the rather dated Songwriters on Songwriting (a collection of interviews based firmly in the late 80s).

Yeah well, time to put my wallet where my mouth was. No more p*ssing around with budget stuff being uhappy with the results.
Mate of mine is selling one of these. http://www.soundonsound.com/sos/sep05/articles/uala610.htm
Anyone interested?

Holy sheet. I finally did it. Just dropped more than the cost of my last car on a mic and an interface.

Am a bit shell-shocked but looking fwd to getting it on with tube mic and quality pre-amp goodness.
-
Loooooool! Wow. Is that real?
-
Nope, sorry. I think I'm having a rush of blood to the head and am about to drop £1k on a microphone. Mojave MA-300 since you're asking. Gahhhhhh!

That's what god made ^ for

You knows it. Didn't attempt the twiddly-twiddly-twiddly-twiddly banjo rolled flourishes in the intro and outtro as I only really nail about one time in four. By the time I'd got to last verse without having banged a finger pick on the body or got any words wrong I thought; let's not tempt fate.
