Re: B PS1 L1 (1 replies, posted in Guitars and accessories)
Depending on the age of the unit, I'd be looking at the PSU and visually testing any electrolyte capacitors for 'unusual' leakage or bulging - depending on your usage (locations, time intervals, etc) the caps can get hot and have a shorter life than expected. If you have a local electronics shop, I'd be asking them to have a look at it - if it costs $50 for a quote and it's only going to cost a hundred or two to fix, it may be a cheaper option than both of you buying a brand new system.
Good luck, which ever route you choose ... pop over to the chat corner and introduce yourself ...
Cheers

That's a very nice rendition Neo.
I have to tell - I totally enjoy all of your recordings and I am quite envious of your talents - but I think you have got to smile sometimes - you always look so serious when you are playing
I don't know - maybe that's what musicians do (I certainly am not one) - I just think it would add to the fab productions you do.
Keep'em coming my friend.Jim
Cheers for the feedback; that's my "concentrating" face, but I'll try to get it to smile more 
Thanks

Just one comment, I hope you don't mind me saying; maybe if you'd moved your capo up another semi tone? You seem to be struggling just a little with the low notes? It's great that you're performing all these songs and putting them up on YouTube, keep on please.
Thanks, I always enjoy constructive feedback, and I tried it last night one semi-tone up and you're right - it was easier ... I never know quite where to put the capo so sometimes just play when it feels right, but I've made a note on this song for capo on 4, not 3 ...
Cheers

Re: Video of my song and Phill's cover of it (5 replies, posted in Songwriting)
That was really great!! I must admit I generally 'skim' the written part of the songwriters part, so vaguely remember the post ... and I can't watch videos when I'm at work, so I'll have to go back and find it.

Re: Using Carnauba (Car) Wax To Polish....... (28 replies, posted in Guitars and accessories)

Neo I do not think it is the same. The Fender Polish is not combustible and the polish you are using is marked as Combustible which means it is not made in the same factory. By the way finder also sells a microfiber cloth for their polish. The polish you listed most likely has linseed oil if it is supposed to be mixed before it is used.
True - I didn't notice that ... I'll have to have a look on the bottle to see what it consists of; I bought it from the John Mann shop to increase my purchase to get free postage (if I remember correctly), as postage to Australia from the USA seems to have grown dramatically over the last few years ....

That's really well done, Neo ... you've got a great flowing guitar style and really good voice. For what it's worth, you probably didn't need as much reverb on the vocals. I loved your "No whistling" comment ... good stuff, buddy!
Thank you.
I'm using a single mic to pick everything up, so the reverb for the guitar is also the reverb for the vocals. Sometimes I get a good balance and sometimes not ... still experimenting
