not strictly related, but if you can get your hands on a PA, find an old warehouse or something.
we used to go to rehearsal rooms and stuff down in the edinbronx. then we got our own warehouse. best thing that ever happened to us.
Rocking out on your own amps, whenever and for as long as you want.
Took me two years to find a place though.

We're happy for someone to drag a 4x12 onto stage as is' date=' and we'll get an OK sound from it. BUT a 1x12 will sound better in absolute terms (non subjective terms). That's just physics. Dual and quad speaker cabs have phasing issues. More importantly the instrument mic should only be pointed at a single speaker. The best results are obtained by turning the output up quite high on that speaker, facilitating less gain on the mic to obtain the desired signal, and therefore less bleed from other sources (since less gain means reduced sensitivity) resulting in a higher signal to noise ratio. This is nothing new. It's no big deal.

The thing about 1x12s is that they are generally open back. 4x12s are closed back, and this does make a big difference to the sound. As for disconnecting speakers in multiple cabs, you're gonna mess around with the wattage it can take, and the impedances - which can lead to fried amps or cones. Plus, with a closed back cab you have to unscrew it and hope it's wired up with spade terminals, else you'd have to get the soldering iron out.
And, as for the phasing issues, the cabs have designers. They are designed to work with their particular drivers to produce a line array effect. Or at least, decent cabs are.
And, amps being a minimum of 100W? I play a 50W valve amp, and it will shred your ears above 3..... Since they're going through the PA anyway, do they really have to be that big (even SS)? 15 or 20W would be alright.
But, this is just generalities. Maybe they guitar rules need re-thought a little.
We're coming up to play in October, and I'll bring up my head and a 1x12 anyway.... 4x12s just don't fit in an Astra with 4 people + gear...

I'm selling my attenuator as I have no need for it with my new amp.
It is a Weber MASS 50, which means it works for amps up to 50W. You could use it with a 100W amp, but not on full attenuation, or something might fry.
Unlike a hotplate it has variable instead of notched atenuation settings, and also unlike the hotplate this version has two impedances - switchable between 4 and 8 ohms. It also has a built in DI with seperate volume and B M T controls, based on a fender tone stack.
These are unavailable in the UK at the moment, I imported this from the States, so you are saving yourself the hassle of importing, customs, taxes and the chance that it doesn't work and you have to post it back to America to get fixed. This one works perfectly.
The chicken head knob for the attenuation has moved round it's stalk, meaning it is on full attenuation, but shows 6. This is easy to fix, but I don't have the rigth screwdriver to take the knob off and re-set it....
Info on it here: http://www.webervst.com/mass.html

Shipping is at buyer's expense, or you can wait til our next gig in Aberdeen (October)

I'll give you 30 next time I'm up in the 'deen (October).
Don't hold it for me though.

Dunno about this rape stuff. Been known to dabble in borderline underagers, but who hasn't?
Next Aberdeen gig is October 26th in the Moorings, courtesy of the AUBL with the Stick Finlays and Atrium.
There may be an earlier one at Drakes.
All the info you could ever want on the band is on the site....

The nice guys at the deadenstereo ministry of culture have decided to up the ante by releasing a track previously only available by PAYING FOR IT.
And paying for stuff sucks ass, so we bring you our recent split single track A PERFECT SECOND, free to download at
However, if you're too lazy for all that reading about the band and wanna go straight to the track - deadenstereo - A Perfect Second.mp3 <- just hit it straight from there dudes.

Deadenstereo are a much more interesting prospect. Mixing haunting guitar melodies with fragile vocals, Deadenstereo could find a wider audience if there's more where this came from. - The Daily Record
deadenstereo are a little more of a complex case, going for a more adventurous and subtle sound on their song 'A Perfect Second'. they definitely steal the show as far as this single is concerned.This mellow and moody rock track progresses to an intense finish - fans of radiohead take heed - with fitting tender melancholic vocals throughout. The dark atmosphere created by the song is in tune with the lyrics, which are centered around the story of a man falling in love with his own (accidental) killer. Very impressive - keep an eye out for these guys. - killthenoize.net

well, we might not be local, but we've been compared to Oceansize before, and should be able to get a few punters in for ya.....

check out the Kent Armstorng version. I got one for around 40 online in the uk - pretty good distortion sound, I used it to record.
-
Chris, check your PMs.

we were ment (meat?) to support them at the dungeon a couple of years ago, but they pulled out.
they would have whooped our asses, metal style - we played shite that night.

my bad - sorry Dave.

If it's not a Model 7, what is it?
According to all the research I did, plus the people at the Jackson Charvel Forum, it's a model 7, and so does this guy think it's a model 7 - http://www.geocities.co.jp/MusicHall/8766/norioguitar.htm
Here's some pictures of other model 7's from the jcf forum. Look pretty similar to me.
As for ebay, i don't give a shit of it's against the rules. The guitar shop I worked in did it for all 2000 things they sold since they started on ebay, and every auction I see does it.
As far as I'm concerned, if my guitar sells at 200, then I expect to recieve 200, not 194. If someone doesn't like it, they can send a cheque - I'm in no hurry.

The ENGL rips.
Those Marshalls aren't really "vintage" anyway, just old ones, that sound good.
I don't think the re-housing thing is a big thing as for affecting it's value. It's still a 1978 JMP head.

It's up on Ebay

street team? aug 2004 start date?
where does one get one of these street teams? I'd like one. They could be like a pack of winged monkeys I could send out to hunt down people who slag off our band, or nick my guitar leads.
-
am ah playin' the geetar.
Here's ma gear:
ENGL Thunder amp
Tokai Les Paul
Charvel Telecaster
Yamaha SG
Boss Tuner Pedal
Boss Line Selector
+ Marshall Shredmaster and a Big Muff, both of which are busticated.
Started playing in 5th Year at School (before the internet!) am now 22, so about 7 years. I can play some tapping stuff, and some nice blues scale leads, but I prefer making up solos that fit the song, so to speak.

changes an unbalanced (i.e guitar) signal to a balanced one. A balanced signal doesn't degrade so much over long runs of cable.
A DI box can also provide a ground lift, whihc can help stop ground hum.
Probably.
-
I maybe thought I'd get more, but I got enough to buy a new, better amplifier and have a couple of quid change left over.

Don't suppose you guys need a band for sometime in August?
Been a wee bit since we came up North, and we reckon Aberdeen wants us.

I really wanted to fill your slot too.

VOX are coming out with a 50W Valvetronix, or there is the the AV60 or whatever it is.
Not much point in selling an anniversary head to buy a 900 series.
