« on: September 17, 2009, 11:11:26 PM »
And my Vigier.. and my modded RG..

Going back to Uni and I just played the most awesome time with my Vigier and RG and the VHT sounded like the beast it is.. and I go back tomorrow at 11am.. :(

Back to the Toneport.

There are fewer greater tone-falls possible.

Ner ner ne ner ner.

But on the other hand, youre a scummy student with a VHT. I didnt even get a TSL till 4th year!

Since 2000 to 2004?

I think not.

You just have a far better amp and guitar than most guitarists in your position (i.e. between the ages of 18 and 22 and at uni) have. I'm rather bemused as to how a student can afford that gear, even at very optimistic second hand prices: you've got it good, dont complain!

When I was at university, I had a Peavey Bandit 65 transister amp...

Mind you, that was 1990...

A carslbro GLX80 did me for 3.5 years of it - even the TSL was a 21st birthday present!

As a student (1981-1984) I had a Laney Mighty 8 practice amp, then a Roland Cube 60 (old style, not the new ones with loads of digital effects!), then a Sessionette 75 which I still have (doesn't work any more though).

My only guitar was a nice one, my Hamer Special.  They were a bit cheaper then, though - £250 new.  :)

The Sessionettes were GREAT amps!  You should get that working again, PQ...

Yeah, Elliot was telling me they're pretty simple and easy to fix.

Then again, I don't do electronics any more complicated than two volumes, two tones and a switch.

Guitar into Amplitube 2 works well enough for my uni practice rig! Obviously not as good as the Laney I have at home but its not terrible. I have a Kustom KGA65 I could bring but probably not worth it.

while i was at uni i went thru a mesa mk4.. a 6505, a vox ac30/6tb.. (the vox was a straight swap for the mesa though).. total waste of money was that lot.. all of them trade on thier name imo.

Yeah I'm back to the Indie, and everything else is going just to have cash rather than guitars. Keeping the Toneport and this belated response shows I have no Internet at my place where I'm living and I have to make trips to the University just to use the Internet, balls!

Hopefully get that sorted by next week and have Freeview going for some endless Dave :P
