This is 3 years old but I like the thing going on at 15.00 (3/4 way though)

I predict I still wont have completed my current song 3 months from now.

That is flat enough. I can deal with 12" rads ok, and even 10" if needs be. I'm just amazed that the whole digital emulation occurs between conventional pickup and output jack. Sensible. I'll be here...

I’ve just done a search on these. Lots of info on the Line 6 system, not much on the Yamaha guitar spec. What scale is it? Can you use a regular amp, or does it have a digital output of some sort? For some reason I thought you had a variax before. I’ve never played one, but I would love to try out some of those sounds. The tones in that vid you posted are incredible, especially the jazzy ones. I’m also curious as to how the digital tuning works out. There was a (Cort?) model with this feature. You could change tunings mid-song with something like that. DADAGAD chords, change to Concert for a solo & swap back again. I like Yamaha guitars. I have a silent nylon string model.

Instant Karma - John Lennon

it stinks alright. I played that song last night at a seaside venue to an appreciative audience (me & 6 others) in Lee-On-Solent. The Music Business was always more business than music, but the golden goose was spared in order to keep the egg supply going. Now I know that the business has suffered massively due to the nature of modern tech, so this looks like their way of passing the hurt on to the goose.

You put it nicely into perspective Randy. I'll keep 'em, but not in the front yard.

Well we still pay more than 20% more than you in the US. Nice links. I like the variax interface. So much easier than the Pod HD which is like this I am used to it now. At first I tried doing all the sound construction on the Pod unit itself. Damn is that hard! Now I just connect to the laptop and tinker away. I left the Pod HD400 at home yesterday and played with Vinyl Frontiers using just the little Fishman (built for acoustics) Loudbox Amp. We played very quietly as we were at a beachside restaurant and had to carry all the gear down the banks from the road. TBH it was nice for a change just to just use the amp by itself. I always learn something when you post Mike. Thanks

I have note books full of waffle with lyric potential. Most of them will stay unused. Sometimes I wonder if I should throw them away. Are they keeping me mired down in the past? Some song ideas that never came to fruition are worthy of rescue though. Who else has this problem?

Mike, Do you mean never made it to Europe? I find it amazing that Fender made a Les Paul (Esprit/Flame) and that Gibson made a Stratocaster (Victory).

Circles - Ace of Cups Ace of Cups were a 60’s all girl band. Damned good too.

Ive now gigged the Esprit with both Blown Out (soul-ska-rock) on Saturday (2-7-16) and also Vinyl Frontiers (jazz-pop) on Sunday (3-7-16). Blown Out is a lot louder & I used my Fender Stage amp with a Line 6 signal processor. I used a small Fishman Loudbox Artist with VF. Clean tones only. The Esprit sounded very good in both roles. However I've been wanting a (Fender style) single coil sound for a long time and thought this might be the guitar to do it with. UK pickup maker 'The Creamery' make such single coil pickups that fit into humbucker apertures. They are called Domino Split Coils. I'm still wondering about it. The Duncan Designed pickup were a lot better than I thought they would be though.

very useful Rob. Thanks

It was nearly 'Ring of Fire - Johnny Cash' until Tull occurred to me. I tried to return with 'Tubercular Balls - Lol Coxhill' but there are no videos of it, so now it's old Quo instead.

Ring Out Solstice Bells - Jethro Tull

Hi Mahesh, I have not heard of FLAC or DAC. I was one of those who thought CDs sounded the same or better than vinyl. MP3s do sound a bit thin sometimes, but it does the job. I prefer not to use headphones, but will sometimes. Super-Car? Your not old enough to remember that. Mike Mercury never had any music in Supercar and I've seen all the episodes. I cant listen & read. Thats multi-tasking. I have no prefered listening method-environment. I'm aware thats boring. Maybe I should. It certainly aint the shower or in the car. I'm open to suggestions though.

I wont normally listen to music posted in musicians lounge, but I made an exception here John. Great sentiment. Needs saying. Fine job. I tried posting a comment but I'm not where I can access my login details.

You are almost certainly unaware of the fact that 'Frigin' (not to be confused with 'frigging') is actually one of Geldof's names. It's Robert Frederick Zenon Frigin Geldof. Frigin being a tradition Irish name of Celtic origin.
