I had been without a guitar amplifier for the last six months. So yesterday I decided to do something about it. I bought a cube...more commonly known as a Roland Cube-1.5x. This thing has got incredible sound, power, sustain, and growl for an amp that is no bigger than an overnight bag. I'm gonna have some fun with this thing. And to boot...the guys in the shop just about popped their eyeballs out when I brought my 34 year old Fender Telecaster into the place. A really knowledgable fellow named Dave replaced a part on it, and now it sounds like the day I bought it. The guys pulled out a catalog, and found my guitar in it. They said with guitar, hard case, original strap, and untouched set of Fender Silver Bullet strings the value was somewhere in the area of two grand! I told 'em thanks for the info, but Ebay will have to wait for now. Anybody else play? What kind of equipment? Anybody out there???? |

That version is the mini amp, isn't it? I've got a few things knocking around, but I don't play them anymore: A Tanglewood Spanish guitar, which is dark mahogany A Tanglewood Semi-acoustic bass which is burnt red and a Yamaha 5 string bass. Strangely enough, I have been looking half-arsed at Roland practice drums ... like the ones what you just have the top skins rather than the full kit, as I think they might be too loud to start with. |

Went to the JobCentre today, and the Army were there going "Be the Best" ... now T-Mobile just told me I didn't have the qualifications to sell phones, Microsoft said I didn't have the qualifications to answer the phones, and the Army want to let me loose with a machine gun? | |

Hey, those little drum kits are neat. You can even play some types with headphones, so as not to knock the neighbors out of bed. Don't worry TJ, this thing is not loud enought to rock the neighborhood, as we are in the middle of 10 acres. However, it does upset my dogs quite a bit. You know, feedback numbs their little ears.

Damn you Cope, you've just cost me money. I bought a drum kit (2 actually!) http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/DD-502-Electronic-Dr...1QQcmdZViewItem some of those, and also another, cheaper set Keith Moon has nothing on me! It's all part of our master plan to form a backing band for Beth

Ahhh, that is way cool, Ade. Somehow, I always pictured you as a drummer....just beating the tar out of everything in site. Just like Moonie, don't ya know. One neat feature is the 215 samples. Some of those are way up on technology. I just got email from my old friend Dukes. He lives in Tucson and has been a musician most of his life. He bought a little amp that allows you to tape yourself for about a minute, then back it up and play along with it. What will they think of next? Does that drum kit allow you to do that? When will you get it?

Ah yes ... I've come across those ... very neat! [Btw, wasn't Roland Cube the original singer with the Cubists? ] |

Thought that was Pablo Picasso.
Yeah, the other one I bought you can hook up to the computer and it will teach you how to play, record you playing the track and then compare it. It's being delivered tomorrow morning. I have never been able to keep time when I played the drums in school, so it's probably going to be a learning curve! |

At that price I might just pick one of those up, too. My wife can play drums a little. I have a picture of her sitting at the trap set somewhere around here. Perhaps we can bill her as the red headed Karen Carpenter. Not! |

That's right ... it was Pablo and the Cubists, with Georgie Braque on lead guitar! I always preferred Andre Derain and the Wild Beasts myself! |

Heh. I have two electrics, a Hamer studio that I use as my main one, and a Fernandes Native Pro that I got mainly a) because of the sustainer and b) because the Edge has one (even got the same green finish as the one he played on the Elevation tour :)) I have a Marshall combo that I kinda want to sell and get sometihng else, but I haven't gotten around to it. I do have a Line 6 PodXT that I'd like to use at gigs, but I need an Atomic Amp first. |

Taking to it as quickly as I have (I am doing better than I thought, although I am already looking at lessons, for the technical side (i.e. I am smacking the shit out of them in order, but no idea why I am doing it), I can see I am going to have a few problems with Shopping Trolley and How Far. Can't see how the drummer has fast enough hands to do ST, and can't hit the relevant drums at the right time for HF. Quite fancy 'Bullet' though |

Ade, you still can't play as well as a certain blind guy.
