  1. cheers, if i see one in a store ill have a look...i just got a t-rex overdrive though that does a really awesome crazy horse kinda thing and i can get pretty close to tweedy with that, theres just something really special about his tone on that record though

     

    does anyone know if there is a pedal for taking all the bass out of your tone, like a bass cut or something

    i do it all the time on my amp to get really snarly horrid lead tones but it would be awesome if there was a little pedal that could do it

  2. am i the only person who was left disapointed after hearing a P&C in the flesh, i got the guy in the store to show me how it worked and it just didnt seem to do much, just made some slighty synthy squelches

     

    its funny cos the second i mentioned it he knew i must be a tweedy nut, and said Jeff had actually been in the store recently to buy a pickup

     

    which i suppose adds up what with him being in the UK recently

     

    anyone have the RX overdriver, id love to be able to get that ALTWYS tone

  3. do you think the CD+DVD will be available in shops also or do i have to pre order?

     

    see i dont wanna pre order cos it wont come on the release date

    but if i go to the shops and they dont have the dvd ill have to pre order and wait even longer to hear the record since i dont wanna buy the non-dvd one aswell

  4. That's crazy talk.

     

    Well, about AGIB anyway.

     

    just cos you dont agree...doesnt mean its crazy

    i just think its a great sounding record, reminds me of the white album a bit

    its just really loose and free and the songwriting is flawless

  5. thanks for everyones input, i went to music ground in london yesterday, with is pretty much all pedals, and ended up with a T-Rex Mudhoney, pricey but such a beautiful tone i couldnt resist it, sound incredible with the holy grail too

     

    i asked the guy in the store if he would show me a prunes and custard just out of curiousity and we got talking about wilco, and apparently Jeff came in their store a couple weeks ago for a pick up

     

    AND, Conor Deasy of the Thrills fame was in the shop but i didnt have the nerve to bother him

    im kicking myself now

  6. i desperately need an overdriver/dirt pedal just for a bit of crunch and so i can cut through more for the odd lead parts.

    the lead guitarist in my band has a big muff and i definately dont want anything that vicious

     

    think Crazy Horse/Cardinals kinda crunch

     

    ill be using it with my Tele + Holy Grail and the old marshall combo at the rehearsal studio's we use

    what does everyone else use and what can you recommend

     

    i dont really wanna spend over 100 quid

  7. anyone got one of these, i desperately need an overdrive pedal of some sort..just a nice crunchy pedal

    i know Ryan adams uses a blues driver with a holy grail (which im already using) and i love his tone so i'm looking into these or the Nano Muff Overdrive

  8. there is a big article with Tweedy in uncut this month, great photo's and some babyshambles bashing

    i read it at work yesterday but ill pick up a copy later and see if i can scan it maybe

  9. everyone here has great taste in music, its good news

    im not actually gonna make a CDR cos i cant, but it would look something like this

     

    The Clash - Train In Vain

    Blur - Charmless Man

    Oasis - Hello!

    Nirvana - Lounge Act

    Rufus Wainwright - Poses

    Neil Young - Powderfinger

    The Band - Arcadian Driftwood

    Mannassas - It Doesnt Matter

    Jackson Browne - These Days

    David Crosby - Almost Cut My Hair

  10. I agree with LH, the production on A Ghost Is Born is the greatest ive heard on any modern record

    and i would imagine all their stuff was done analog, live

     

     

    sucks i cant get this vid to play

  11. im exactly the same mate, i wont buy anything if i cant keep it forever

     

    you can get the GAD ones, Fender's chinese made Guild's but to be honest there is nothing like a US built westerly guild

    the fender ones are ok, but i reckon you could pick up a second hand westerly for a good price if you hunt around

    try slightly newer ones, like 80s-90s before the fender takeover but still not old enough to be 'vintage' prices

  12. what alot of people do anodyne is tune them to Eb or D and use a capo, to prevent what happened to yours, but still...its usually over a few years that would happen

     

    the guild ones have a duel truss rods, so they take the strain a little better, i think Taylor do it to
