Who him? I never do.
But he is going after tourists.
However, I can't help thinking, if he's been Prime Minister of England after the recent events, he probably would have invaded North Korea.

Steve, your comments are well taken & I will promise to refer to Kit as 'our' drummer in the future. Your point is actualy a good one & although in my particular case, Kit KNOWS that he is part of the band in a very important way & accepts the lack of democracy as a realistic working method, I can quite see why some drummers may not like this. As for being Kits guitarist, his family refers to me as such & I have never felt offended. Like I said, nothing derogatory was meant by it...it's just the way we work!

"...he probably would have invaded North Korea."

Or Wisconsin. It's North, too, don't forget.

Right on Anthony, keep up the groovy work. I am trying to record my 360-12 for the first time, it ain't easy ! As the wicked witch said, "these things must be done delicately".

Wow. Plots and subplots. Very cool, sorta like a Robert Altman pic!

I think I've hearrd of Wisconsin. Thats where cheese comes from. Also there's lots of snow there in winter. Aside from those things and a few misguided moose, I dont think there is much going on.

Go Yankees.

I've definitely heard of it! I bought a lap steel from there, and it's not at all cheesy!!

Howard, we didn't want to bust your chops, but that's not a lap steel. It's a cheese slicer with a pickup...

A quick boil of the strings will have it sounding like new! (temporarily)...

Your first live solo will bring about cries of "Who sliced the cheese?"...

I've been had!! Email sent........

I think my first solo will elicit cries of 'Who's torturing the cat?', Dane.

Steve, I have extensive experience of recording Rics. If you have a particular problem, then email me & I will help if I can....

Hey Tony ...
I could use a few pointers wrt recording. I have a Boss 1600 which we use as a mixing desk & a recording desk. The guitars both feed into Line 6 pre-amps but I feed the stereo output of my Ric 4003 direct into the first two channels. The output is fed into a stereo PA & sounds fine, but when I come to mix the recording later, my bass doesn't seem to 'cut through'.

The problem may be in the stereo Bob. Live it's great, but mono is generally more punchy & powerful. I would run the 4003 into a pre-amp, compressor & into a mono channel for recording. I routinely run a 4003 into a Joe Meek VC1, straight to hard disc, but before final mixing, I will send that through a valve amp & 4x10 or 4x12 cab & mic up to get the final sound.

Cheers Tony - I'll give that a go !!
