First band practice...........
OK, after the first rehersal, we knew we had to get the arrangements sorted, so we booked a rehersal room, and got stuck into it last night, for about 5 hours. By the end, we played the whole set through and barring a few fluffed notes and chord changes, we nailed all the arrangements, and were really starting to just have…

Nothing As It Seems effects
Sorry if this has been asked before, I didnt have much luck searching. Just wondering if anyone has effects tips for playing NAIS, in particular the solo and interlude bits, aiming for a sound like Mike gets on the Seattle 2, 00 bootleg. Is it a combination of delay and the fender blender? Any wah or way of doing it…

Has anyone here ever tried an old JAX Vibra Chorus?
Hendrix used one, and in fact, that trademark onstage Woodstock wobble was made by a combo of the JAX and the Univibe. Just wondering if anyone here ever got to try one out. Apparently the bloke here, playing Machine Gun, is using one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FwwhWge6tIo

For you Strat Players.........
Do you find that the 5 way switch position is in the way when your strumming chords? Say your in the neck/middle position do you find the position will change on you half way through a song because your hand accidently hit it? Maybe I'm just not used to playing Strats yet but I find the the switch to be a little in the way.
