Saxophone is woodwind but is part of a brass section in the sense the origianal poster means. I do have a brass section however we are taking a break for several months while two of the guys go traveling. Give me a shout if you want some help.

I've just bought myself a Rocktron Banshee 2.  

I know that video is a bit of a joke but you can actually build your own if you can pull the bits together that you need.  I found some instructions ages ago but I'm not hugely technical and never followed it through.  The most expensive part is the horn driver.

Looks good!

It's a good starting point I guess.  I still say add a PA to the venue and remove the under 50 fee.

Assuming you can't get 50 people along and you have to hire a PA and potentially a sound engineer to keep you sounding good enough to charge on the door, it's not really a financially viable option for most of us in original music groups.  It's a shame this isn't an actual music venue as it could be cool.  Chris, stick in a PA, remove the 50+ thing and you might be on to something.  Look at how they are doing it in Cellar 35.  It's good to see a potential venue of your size but if you want to properly get into it you have to take the rough with the smooth!  

I think the fact I've been a musician in Aberdeen for 16 years and never heard of your company speaks volumes. You might want to look at your advertising to see if you're hitting your target market. I also don't know anyone who's used your services during that time, so i can't even go on "word of mouth" as a reference for your work.

 

What manufacturers are you approved by? Do you have a website?

 

Not trying to be a dick here but it's difficult to find a service when the provider doesn't seem to be actively doing anything to raise awareness of their presence...

These are Alan Morrison's details, he is based in Kingswells.  I believe he is one of the only keyboard repair specialists in Scotland.  I'm booking in my Fender Rhodes for a service with him.

Great.  Very much looking forward to this!

What are stage times likely to be for this?  There are a few people with clashing gigs to go to/play at but would come along depending on the time.

Ive seen threads on other production forums/threads that have a rule where you have to give feedback on a couple of previous posts before your new addition to the thread, helps to stop the thread just being somewhere folk come to post their tracks without even listening to any others - its a good idea i think anyway - anyone else agree?

 

I guess im testing the waters to see if its worth starting a new thread/ changing the rules of this one..

New track, was a bit of a cobbled together job but i think there are some nice moments in it.

I've an old stereo separate tape deck you could have.  Pretty sure it worked fine last time it was used but the plug was removed for something else.  I'll have a look see if I have a spare plug for it and get some more details. 

That sounds perfect.  I don't mind wiring a plug on if you can't find one!

Sounds good!

Finally someone has taken away the Casio FZ-1!  Thank you Young Adolesent, I hope you enjoy it.  Perhaps you could see if anyone on here has a floppy drive up for grabs to help load some samples into that beast.
 

I'm still on the look out for a working tape deck.  Even a loan of one would be welcome.  I need to convert a bunch of old tape recordings my folks made of me, bro and sis playing pieces when we were young from tape to digital.  I'll probably just bid for one off Ebay but checking here first.

I would like to reiterate conditions that should apply for all freecycles - if you find you no longer want an item or no longer have use for it you must repost here or on another freecycle site.  Selling items on is unacceptable and goes against the spirit of the process. 

I am looking for a working tape deck - anyone looking to get rid?  

I still have a 1987 Casio FZ-1 sampling keyboard free to a good home.  I don't have any disks for it but if you check out the SOS link below it will help however takes this.  Last time I looked there were huge archives of patches available for download too.  This is a big keyboard and is very heavy - built like a tank.

Fuck me Ghost of Bongo!! I had no idea you guys still played!  Good to see

This is a relatively new thing.  I suppose we're having that 10 years on itch.  I think we will mostly be playing our back catalogue this time before we chuck in some of the new material we're working on.

How cheap are you talking?  Look up ghetto talkbox on youtube.  Actually to save you the bother

GHOST OF BONGO

"We began life as a band in 2003, long before life took hold and gave us all responsibilities! In the beginning we practiced and gigged every week trying to make our way to stardom. We wrote all sorts of songs, all with our own quirk. Many of them we recorded at local studios - to keep a track of what we'd written as much as anything else. Music, for us, is all about the love of it."

Now, ten years later, they're ready for the comeback!

It has been quite some time

Is there anywhere in Aberdeen that would repair a CD deck/mixer? (It's a Numark CDMix1)

 

Thanks

I'm pretty sure Atmosphere Light and Sound have repairs department.

I totally agree with ca_gere.  This is the first I've heard about this particular site though, I had only heard about the power of crowd funding through watching a talk by Amanda Palmer of the Dresen Dolls on TED.  It is a chance for people to get involved in projects they believe in.  Also great for music lovers to be connected to music they want to hear too.  I'll take a closer look at your proposals later Dave, can't properly comment on your proposal yet.  I imagine this works well for established artists wanting to progress to a more ambitious release and already have a large body of work and many performance behind them.  

Free.  It's a TP Link

I will have a spare one in about a weeks time

Definitely make a demo.  I did that for a couple of my synths for sale and I think it helps demonstrate what you maybe can't in the 15 minutes someone has when they come to view.  Also I want to hear a track!

The Dark Energy is really good by the way... thanks.  Perfect little synth.

Looks cool... normally I'd be right on this but just getting into my Octatrack sampler.
