Gear

Hello I am new here or I should say it's been a few years. I have just started playing again. I had sold my Fender Bassman. It had a fantastic sound but was too heavy sometimes. I am looking at the Harp Gear 35 and can't seem to find any reviews. It looks like it could have what I want , size, power and hopefully bassman like tone. Has anybody here played one?  Thank you

Hi everyone,

I bought one of the above at the end of last year because I wanted a tube amp and it was new but half price. My only concern is that it is maybe not working properly. For example if I turn the gain down all the way it cuts the sound completely. Is this to be expected, anyone know or advise who I might be able to speak with?

Thanks,

Graham

Hi David and everybody!

First, I would like to say that harmonica are an inspiration that changed my life!

These days I came across a harmonica model, "octave", watching videos, I fell in love with the sound...

I would like an opinion on which keys to buy, in order of priority, especially for blues... as they are expensive, I thought about buying one or two a year.

Thank you all!

... but it's OK to PUT it in your mouth.

I have an email subscription to Lee Oskar Harmonicas' newsletter. With each newsletter there's a drawing of five names, for a free harmonica. I'm one of those "I never win anything" types, but lo and behold, all of a sudden I was a winner! And when after a few weeks of filling out the shipping info I hadn't received my free harp and I sent an email, I got a phone call from Lee Oskar himself, updating me! continue reading...

Hi,

Not sure if I am in the correct forum or not. I seem to remember a recording of Backing software but cannot find it. 

Is there any experience of using iRealPro as a backing music tool or is there a better solution for Harmonica players? Secondly, is there a search tab for this excellent website that I maybe missing?

Thanks

I recently switched from a wired USB phone headset to a wireless headset for recording, and when playing back noticed I was consistenty a fraction of a second late on the beat. Now, I still sometimes struggle to stay on beat with quick passages and partial triplets, but not this badly; so I went back to the wired headset and had no delay. Anyone else encounter this? Is there a fix? I record using Audacity on Windows 10. 

Thanks,John

I have used Audacity very successfully for a number of years but am now experiencing problems on a new computer. (No issue with RAM) When recording on Audacity the program experiences intermitant freezes. Stops goes silient then continues until it happens again. BTW my old computer with Audacity 3.2.2 on does not experience any problems. Done all the usual things to rectify like updates and drivers. Spent a lot of time on the Audacity forum looking for sullutions without success. There seem to be a lot of other users experiencing similar issue and not resolving them. continue reading...

Just started playing harmonica and new to the site. Any thoughts on using a Fender Hot Rod Deluxe for harmonica?

Anyone else tried one of these? I was intrigued, so just got one (from Rockin' Ron's Music) the other day. It's a fun addition to my collection of home grown tin cans (including an "official" Ortega Chili can just like the one Joe Filisko uses!). continue reading...

Good morning,

I'm a beginner and would like to buy an Harmonica in the key of A. I'd like a plastic comb and I'm reading that a Rocket might be "better" than a Special 20.

My question : Would the Rocket be a better harmonica to start practicing than a special 20 ?

Thank you
