Thanks Martin,

I don't know if you have heard the live tracks from Maestoso in the 80's ( I think) recordered ( handheld cassette?) in Vienna on the "songs from the black box" CD but the tron sounds totally different to that in BJH Live from the early 70's. I am not sure if this is because Woolly wanted a different sound or perhaps had a different sound system. Any thoughts? Although I can get many different sounds out of #1565 the BJH Live sound is still not one of them.

Cheers

Mark

Woolly used the M300 throughout Maestoso in the the early 80s.

Hi Andy,

Do you know if Woolly was still using the M300 after he left BJH? To my admittedly inexpert ears the tron never sounded the same and I wonder if he used an M400 when he toured Austria with Maestoso.

Thanks

Mark

For all the gigs I did with Litmus, I never got stagefright, my theory being that I wasn't the 'responsible party', and no-one could hear me anyway. However, when I played with England's Robert Webb at the second Mellofest, I shat a brick... (prob.too much info. Sorry). Shyness is often mistaken for rudeness, I've observed. Woolly has a totally different personality. Speaing of which, I keep meaning to call him and get him to give me an interview on his M300 use throughout the BJH catalogue.
