Would anybody have any experience taking apart their Bugera Veyron amp at all and had a look at the voltage input side of it by chance ? Mine is 240 now and I will need it to be used on 120 VAC. I'll be using my amp in North America eventually and was curious how easy it would be to convert the...

Thanks ! We also did Highway Star but I never got around to finishing the video off properly. I'll PM you the link though if you're a DP fan.

We used to do a lesser played Deep Purple Track at a few gigs. Our singer did pretty good on it.

Ha ! - I play in a Mac tribute band. I only just heard that 'mistake' just now. Nice one. I won't play it like that though as it doesn't sound right.

Okies - I'll try and shift it down 65 cents and see how we go. I also shift out of pitch songs down for the other band members. It's really odd but I just played it against the original and all the bass notes are perfect while I'm playing it - Except that odd F (plus) note. I even made...

So, lower the whole song 25 C ?

Yeah - I have to do that with a few Beatles tunes and some VH songs. I believe with the Beatles they did speed a few things up, but with the VH tracks, I think Michael just used to tune to Eddys guitar ! A few others I've had to retune are - Our Lips Are Sealed by The Go-Go's and The Boys are...

Hmm - I don't think it is though. All the other notes are fine. I do agree that that one note could be 65 c higher, but all the others I think are on the money. Here is a screenshot of them playing it live where he is just playing the F# - But on the Album, that note is slightly lower, being...

Has anyone ever tried playing this bass line and noticed that you have to pull the "F" about halfway to get "F" plus 50 cents to get it right ? It happens for me on both the E and the A string when F is played. I thought at first it was a tuning artifact during recording or something else but...

Heya Kipp ... Well here goes ;-) I started playing bass in the 80's and always used a pick. Always. I never once even tried playing with my fingers back then. I played with a pick for the next 25 years as I preferred the sharper tone I could get using the edge of a pick. Even on older...

Hey Kipp From this 1976 article : [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] "Tiran: I play with a pick only occasionally. Generally I go with my two fingers." ... however, he appears to be using a pick for China Grove in the clips I've seen ...

Sure is - He's amazing ... !

Hey FD Thanks for the kind words. During the pre-chorus part in the earlier section (at 50 seconds), there is a slide up into "Well, ya talkin' bout ..." which I start at that same lower fret section. I play all the pre-chorus parts the same way. Tiran plays that same slide up from the same...

Ahh ok - Nice one. That was done a few years back. I did all those bass vids the same day one after the other so they might not be exact but I think it's pretty close ... Glad it helped ;-)

Hi I made a video clip of me playing China Grove if it helps at all : There's a few other Doobies in there also.
