  1. What to do jj is go into R'n'B and try a fender hot rod deluxe if they have one.....or a twin...only draw back with a twin is you have to attain stupid volume before it breaks up ....the deluxe is a nice amp....or ask Kai to give you a shot of his Messa budgie.....they should deliver the noise you desire....the stones use boogies...!! G...
  2. well heres another equation for you...... Lime = arrogant prick.
  3. You have some bloody nerve claiming Ian is condescending....!!
  4. Shit.....I was just away to say that..... G...
  5. hmmm....very interesting.....so in short, there are a lot of greedy bastards out there running bars..... so....Alyssa's Wish are owe about 10000 in total.....cash please. How much is a stab vest?
  6. well you actually increase the Resistance and, I'm not sure what the equation is but, as rule of thumb if you have say...two marshall 16ohm cabs you would set your marshall amp at 8ohms.... On the other hand trannie amps are quite happy to run at anything between 2ohms - 16ohms with no adjustment from the user, but as Ian pointed out they will have their sweet spot where they run most efficiently, probably about 4 ohms so two 8 ohm cabinets are the way to go..... Is that about right Ian? G...
  7. Spoonie....you rascal!! 400w 4ohm 4x10cab would do the trick...nice tight sound with good bottom end (oooherrr) Or same but 1x15 if you like your sound a bit more rich and bassy. Or if you have plenty of cash and a van a 1x15 + 2x10 setup would be really nice remembering to make sure the ohms match the amp. G...
  8. Eh ian....I think you meant "an amp" with 300w output.... And I have always worked with a 50% saftey margin (with valve amps) cos rms figures aint always very accurate. G...
  9. Its all down to the output wattage of the amp..... There is no point in trying to drive 400 watts of speakers with a 100 watt amp. It also depends on what sound you are looking for, some people like to cover the whole tonal spectrum combining 10" and 15" speakers sometimes with HF horns thrown in for good measure, or you could go for an all 10" setup or 15's or even 12's which are less fashionable these days but sound great. G...
  10. .....let this thread die for goodness sake...!
  11. Nasty one tone wonders......thousands of better amps out there...
  12. Im sorry but how does that work? are you suggesting that by coming from another pub to triple kirks and being refused entry that is some kind of scientific test.....?????? You arent 12 by any chance are you? or do you wear full combat gear on a night out....
  13. Me and the bass player from Pallas saw tony levin play one in a keyboard shop in london in the 80's....cool or what?
  14. Re: what a head fry! You seem to be missing a couple of things....1 the guy went on to cause trouble elsewhere (not the actions of someone who has just been beaten up)....2 drunkenmonkey has made no futher comment since Rob got involved (indicating he has no futher proof that the guy got a hiding) Can you explain your no 6 further...am I missing something?
  15. But its not their place to do so....we have a legal system that dishes out the correct punishment, if a bouncer gives anyone a kicking it makes them as bad as the the guy getting the kicking, and they are breaking the law....dont get me wrong, I gave a few guys a slap during my bouncing days but its nothing Im proud of, other than this time when.......no im not proud!!
  16. He has every right to complain ...... A LOT!! There are correct ways to go about it, posting it on a message board is the way a 14 year old would do it.
  17. I worked on the doors and as a steward for 10 years and let me tell you its sometimes very very hard to resist knocking some offensive loud mouthed drunk out....I worked the doors when there were little or no regulations with regard to a doormans suitability (nor were there cameras) for the job and there were a few animals doing the rounds, but now, I have loads of respect for these guys. All accept drunkenmonkey....what an arse...I notice he's shut the fuck up since rob has commented....why post shit like that on here? especially when your not 100% sure of the facts. For what its worth I have always found the door staff at HJB's and Moshulu to be diamond geezers....!!
  18. Guitar tech and bass player for 30+ years, and I can assure you if you are a serious player then boiling your strings is not big and its not clever...it improves them tonally for a very short time by, as you say, washing out all the crud from the windings but makes no difference to the corroded and fucked core of the string....in fact, it possibly makes it worse....as I said "old wives tale" Look after them by cleaning them with a lint free cloth afer every use, and change them when they need it, I know they are expensive but its the only way im affraid.
  19. Yes and you can loose the feeling in your head and still play guitar
