  1. You don't see many of these on the market these days. I'v had it for a few years but it's in great condition, only really used it for practices so it's not been in and out of cars too much in its life.

    I'v mainly used it for pop and rock type stuff which i'v found it good for. I would imagine it would sound good playing anything with a driven sound as the midshape boost adds quite a bit of definition and or growl.

    Heres some of the info

    300 Watts into 4 ohm, 200 Watts into 8 ohm Output

    Built in Compressor

    XLR lineout

    Tis this model.

    Looking for 170 as i bought it for 350 or so. I'v not got pics just now but I can get some if anyone is interested

  2. Well the album is finished and mastered (2.5 years later). Although we are going to sit on it for a while, see if we can get any label backing to give it a glorious release. Here is one of the last songs we did, it's our reggae/kiss inspired number.

    Any feedback is appreciated.

  3. i'd like to add, do not i repeat do not brush your teeth with dog shit. also clothing and footwear is useful as people don't like pasty skin and the lights may reflect off into some poor buggers eye. take your instruments to every gig as you may need to play them to make noises. but most of all, have fun and don't worry.

  4. you should worry about being from "out of town". alot of bands that throws themselves out there will be from out of town 75% of the time. alot of the advice on here is really sound, the band i play in is from forres so we have to travel a long way for most of our gigs. to add to some of the comments i would suggest the following

    1. don't be afraid to turn down some gigs - it's not the end of the world missing an offer. You should pick shows that you are comfortable with, can make it on time for soundcheck and generally know it won't end up in drama (although this takes a bit of practice, as most bands know). With time you will get offered more and more shows.

    2. keep gigging - the more you gig in different places the more familiar you will get with different customs, people and expectations.

    3. talk to the other bands/sound guy before you play - arrange sharing gear if the other bands are up for it. it saves time and builds trust, it's good seeing a band respecting equipment and using it well. as for speaking to the sound guy, one of the best things a band can do is make a tech spec, a sheet of paper or file which illustrates the exact set up a band needs on stage. this seriously saves time, looks professional and leaves a good impression with promoters.

    4. concentrate on being good and treat a new crowd/city/town as a blank canvas everytime. first impressions mean everything in this game.

  5. i think my main gripe is that it is over 3 days. you are effectively exposed to the elements from thursday until monday. i don't mind camping for 2 nights but the whole round trip is what knackers me, combine that with insane amounts of walking and drinking (just to get by) and you have a long ass week. i doubt that even ray mears could do it without a post festivle grumble.

  6. i don't really care that biffy have done this. they stopped being good a long time ago and to be fair they produced some good stuff over the space of a decade. i'm happy enough to listen to that old stuff and completely ignore all this x factor crap, in the same way i completely ignored puzzle and that last album. for some reason i can't help but think about bob dylan switching to electric guitar and being spat on by hippy scumbags.
