Hi folks
If any of you are near to St Helens in merseyside tonight from 7pm were doing lots of Shadows music in the Black Bull,Knowsley rd near the old rugby ground.
Would be great to meet up with some forum members.
Its very informal, we may even get you up.
Cheers
Pete

Hi Jim,
it was only a glorified rehearsal but was a good session.
We are at the same venue next Saturday 16th, you are more than welcome, had a great sound with the Nos56 through the AC30, was well received.
cheers
Pete

Hi Baz
yes, the AC30 was superb, I had a great sound from it, I must have done about 50 shads numbers last night, I didn't realise I knew that many ha ha.
cheers
Pete

Hi Pete,
Glad to hear you had a good night and the Amp performed well (which I knew it would). Did you use the EF86 Channel?
Regards,
Baz.

Hi Len

Peter

Hi Baz,
no didn't use the EF86 channel, I just plugged into the brilliant channel, reason is, I have been so busy with work, I hadn't had chance to experiment with it but I was more than happy with the sound I had, I had so many comments on the sound from folks, so I just took it, it must have been a good sound out front.
we had a few issues with the rhythm guitar being a bit loud in the mix as we were using backing tracks too and was struggling to here the timing on the backing tracks but managed it.
cheers
Peter

Hi Pete,
Nice to know everything sounded good. If you had mentioned about your Trem being too high when you were at my place I could have fixed that for you.
Regards,
Baz.

Hi Baz
thanks re your kind comments, its not a problem as such re the trem, its just getting used to it, I'm getting more and more used to it now.
I took a couple of springs out so I could get it lower but it makes it more sensitive then and its this that I have to get used to, the trouble with playing shadows music, its very easy to overdo the trem work, so discipline is called for.
cheers
I will try to get a couple of videos up on here but Photobucket have now changed there set up and they wont have 3rd party hosting, unless you pay for it, as I understand it but don't hold that to me :-)
cheers
Pete

Hi Pete,
You don't have to remove springs to lower the Trem arm if the tension is how you like it. What you have to do is bend the Trem arm.
I look forward to seeing some vids, but I think you are right about the 3rd party hosting.
Regards,
Baz.
