Post by: sambo on February 14, 2006, 07:58:50 PM: beatle- the finish is indeed VERY rough... no smooth nonsense here! its barely a finish to be honest just a plank of wood...

Noooo ...the Laney is damn good! The only problem being is that its just TOO loud! The lil baby crate is jus a wee nipper compared.

Post by: sambo on February 14, 2006, 11:08:16 PM: yes BUT.... i need an attentuator cause the laney is a tad poop at low volumes...

Post by: Elliot on February 15, 2006, 09:20:46 AM: That looks soo good - has the tap problem been sorted yet? If so what does it sound like?

Review required dude...
Title: pics of my new p-90
Post by: sambo on February 15, 2006, 09:24:36 AM: yup its been sorted- sounds sweet!!! the difference is subtle but still great- it goes from a quite twangy/trebly sound which gives me a bit more "cut" to a slightly softer sound with the edge taken off. its a bit like switching between rhythm and treble on a normal lp (which i obviously cant do as i only have one pickup). can give you detailed info maybe a sound clip if you want: are you interested in getting one then? the way i see it you might as well get a tap fitted on ALL bk's you get as tim does it for no extra charge!!!!

and tap aside, the pickup itself is magical.... like i said earlier its brought my crate to life and at the moment i prefer it to my laney lc30!!! the only thing lacking from my crate before was some 'oumph' it had some pretty good tones but was a bit of a weakling... it was loud enough but it was balls not volume that it needed and now it sounds like a beast.... ive got a quick clip of it that i recorder last night but ill have to get on to that hosting site business to post that...
