Finally, digital modelling put to good use!

"You dream about tone. You practice relentlessly. You dedicate yourself to mastering your instrument."

Forget the POD, this is where it's all at! OH YEAH!

Feylya's going to go mad for one of these.

Doctor J

Wow, 12 of the world's most sought after cowbells :eek:

The mind boggles

fish-head

Hahahaha... That's ridiculous.

dabhoys

Respect

NotMe

That's mad. What next.. digitally modelled drum sticks?

John

Unfortunately the "Power Users" section is down. I think it's a good idea, don't know if I could be bothered but I'm sure it'd have its uses.

Mystic Fibrosis

If the dude on the front is in a band, I want to hear their stuff
I mean, imagine if cowbells became a staple instrument in the rock/metal arsenal!

feylya

Yeah, saw this a while back. Had a discussion about different cowbells on the way to a gig the other day actually.

Voodu Child

Digitally modelled cowbells are complete sh*te, they sound fuzzy and processed, and dont have anywhere near the depth or subletely of a genuine, vintage '59 DaisyBell 5000.
Its all you hear on recordings nowadays though, and its a complete discrace, they all sound the same... :mad: :mad: :mad:

John

The Rapture make great use of cowbells live. Very rock.

Mystic Fibrosis

I'm sure Einstürzende Neubauten could do something interesting with cowbells...

(Then again, they can make any instrument interesting)

John

The only instrument they refuse to use is the saxophone.

dimerocks

thats the best invention i have ever seen.

I was hung over.

jcoote

Eh, no problem

jcoote

so u gettin one of these cowbells fey.

feylya

I don't know. I prefer the proper ones. Got one downstairs. Not fond of this whole modelling thing. They always seem to lack real "tonk", ya know?

jcoote

i hear ya i'm using a flextone :rolleyes:...think a selection of real cowbells isn't that pricy so why go for one of these feckers... besides the novelty like

feylya

Tried a RG2320 or something like that through a Flextone III. Very Meh!

Eh, I'd say that's a piss take site tbh J.

jcoote

sorry i was being sarcastic there not very well done i'm afraid..meh is the word i think (altho shouldn't be saying that when i'm trying to sell it)...its just the overdrive i have a problem with its a lovely clean and would really suita mild to mid od player but i like high gain...conallesque

feylya

Conall doesn't have that high a gain though! The amp wasn't bad as such, it just didn't do anything for me. Neither did the €2300 RG though.

Sorry, it's too late to interpret sarcasm I do like real cow bells though

jcoote

i'm totally void of emotion for cowbells...although baggio has a couple and u can get severly cool latin beats with em...ok well it lacks punch then thats more what i meant..i'd be more inclined towards a jem for that money...

feylya

Wouldn't touch a Jem. I couldn't crank the amp unfortunately.

What would RATM be without it's cowbells? Honestly?

jcoote

cranking doesn't realy help the flextone...i'd like to let u try it with the gmajor and a good tele or something its really nice on clean...i posted a clip before...i'd like a jem i have to say but if i was paying that much i'd probably get a prs or a lp or something...cowbells do add a lot to percussion but i just don't think they be essential thats all

feylya

Always happy to try out amps

If I was spending that much on a guitar, I'd get a custom.

No instrument is essential in music.

jcoote

always happy to try out anything ...yeah a cutom is the way to go never thought of that (strat or tele if i was getting custom although a jackon might just interest me)

feylya

LGM 6 string for me I think

jcoote

yeah not bad...thats what i meant when i said a jem :rolleyes:...they are really nice i must say

feylya

Very metal but by all accounts, incredible!

Now, if I could just get some custom cowbells!

jcoote

bloody cowbells...what could u customize like besides the finish??

feylya

Spoiler, go faster stripes, sound holes, neons? The possibilities are endless!

jcoote

your turning me to religion here do u know anywhere that dos them...altough it'd be as handy to diy

feylya

Hmmm, some sheet steel, bending bars and a welder and you have yourself a cottage industry

jcoote

if u could just put one of your ideas into motion you'd be loaded bud

feylya

I could call myself the Cowbell Baron! Or Baron Von Cowbell!

jcoote

the second one is cool...what about senor tonk tonk

feylya

Naaa. Anyone can be a Senor but not everyone can be a BARON!

jcoote

but what about senor ding dong u have to want to be like him

feylya

Not really. That cape could have been dangerous.

But the Beer Baron! He had a hat! I've always wanted a hat. Then I could walk round town, playing my cowbell*, proclaiming that I had a new hat.


*Notice how I kept it about cowbells? Eh? Did ya?

jcoote

i did and well done thats tremendous...i'd pay u to do that with your COWBELL once i could pick the hat...i think we scared kh off on this one

feylya

Pick me a good hat and I'll do it! Playing my cowbell all through the streets!

Yes, I'd say he's rather confused at this stage.

But you're still confused, so my point is valid!

jcoote

its just u are uncharacteristically (how the cuk u spell that) quiet..good to see u back ...i'm goin for some tea and a biscuit* talk later dudes


*can of coke and a mars bar

No it isn't. You said I'm probably confused at this stage, which suggests that I wasn't confused previously. You're the one confused on this matter, Baron Von Balloonenstein.

jcoote

i'm glad i'm goin now i'm confused...we really should be doin somethin more productive with our timesies
