Sorry, bad link. Here's the right one!

Got a couple of studio projects on the go at the moment and need a competent drummer to come into my studio and record. Fast rock/metal double kick type stuff. Must have own kit. Contact me for more information.

Just looking for a bassist now. Anyone keen?

Looking for a female singer and a bassist for a wedding/function band. We already have a male singer, guitar, drums and keyboards. If you're interested or have any questions please get in touch.

thanks. Not really listened to They Might Be Giants but I remember they did the Malcolm in the Middle theme tune which was pro. Might go download an album.

Maybe you can all sing it while you're drilling on the rigs? Hope you enjoy.

Selling my Peavey Classic 60/60 power amp as i'm saving for a mesa or a 5150 and have no need for it. you can find all the technical info in the manual here: Peavey Classic 60/60 review - Classic Series Amps I've never had a problem with the amp whatsoever. Also i should mention that it has a UK power supply which is a rare find on these things, the other guitarist in my band has a US one and has to carry an extra transformer in his rack which makes it ridiculously heavy. Heres the ebay link: Peavey Classic 60/60 power amp on eBay (end time 04-Oct-10 01:52:01 BST) I'd take 250 for it which is a bloody good deal. Any questions feel free to ask.

Selling my Rocktron Prophesy. Its been a staple part of my rack and studio for quite a while now but i want to try something different, probably a 5150 or a Mesa. Its exactly the same as the Prophesy II except without the artist presets(which you can download for free off of the Rocktron website) and overall a bloody good amp. More effects than you could ever need as you can see in the generic tech spiel below. The preamp is in perfect condition, like all Rocktrons it was originally from the US and so comes supplied with a UK step up transformer. The Prophesy II new generally sells for around 1200-1450 so get yourself a good deal! Any questions feel free to ask. Product Features: - Dynamic Tube Replication Technology (DTR) - User Definable Effect Configurations - User Assignable Stereo Effect Loop - Tap Tempo Delay and Tremolo - Built-in Chromatic Tuner - Stereo XLR Outputs - Real Amp Knobs for On-The-Fly Tone, Volume and Preset Adjustments - "Pluck Detector" (patent-pending) and ADSR for Dynamic Effect Control - Pre and Post Distortion and Global EQ - Pre Distortion Effects and Post Distortion Effects - Programmable Speaker Simulator w/ Parameters for Speaker Size, MIC Position, Reactance - Preamp Section The preamp section of the Prophesy features four channels each with their own distinct "voicings" to provide a vast array of desired tube amp sounds. Each voicing may be thought of as a "channel" and each channel has its own basic gain and master controls with bass, mid, treble and presence controls, all easily accessible with "real amp" knobs on the front panel, just like a regular amp head. - Channel 1 or Clean American, replicates some of the most sought-after clean vintage tweed amps of the late 50s and 60s. - Channel 2 or "Texas Blues", is a vintage tweed with a bit more "kick" and "bite" often heard from the famous southwest bluesers ala "Billy Gibbons, Stevie Ray, Eric Johnson, Etc.". - Channel 3 or "Vintage British", is a traditional "Plexi Style" tone offering some of the most dynamic rhythm tone available. - Channel 4 or "Mega Drive" is considered the Holy Grail of almighty heavy tone of modern music pumping out everything from early Van Halen to Megadeth and everything in between. The preamp section also features a parametric Pre EQ, which allows you to "pre-shape" your tone to simulate the characteristics of several different guitars (such as fine-tuning your Strat to sound more like a Les Paul, Etc) as well as an additional parametric Post EQ to add extra Lows, High, or scoop out the Mids. And if thats not enough, we also included a Global Parametric EQ which adjust the overall output of the Prophesy on all presets. Effects Section The effects section of the Prophesy is divided up into two sections, Pre distortion (or pre-preamp), and post distortion (or post preamp) for unlimited configurations of effects. The pre-effects section features Wah, Compressor, HUSH®, Pre-EQ, as well as one assignable effect of your choice. The post-effects section provides ultra-transparent, high-quality effects which completely preserve the tone of the preamp-thick reverbs and lush choruses can be used without coloring the sound of the preamps tone. Four assignable "effect blocks" allow you to assign 1 effect pre-preamp and 3 post preamp effects in any order you choose, including Phaser, Flanger, Chorus, Pitch Shift, Rotary Speaker, Ducker Delay, etc. Prophesy also features a versatile mixer section to control the mix between dry and wet signal output of every effect used in the preset. If the effects in the Prophesy are not enough, we included a true stereo effect loop which may be assigned anywhere in the effect chain just like an internal effect. Want just an incredibly powerful effect processor? Just bypass the preamp section completely and use the Prophesy a stand-alone effect unit. The ADSR (Attack/Decay/Sustain/Release) function features Rocktrons Pluck Detection patent-pending, and allows you to configure any of the Prophesy parameters to be controlled dynamically by each pluck of a guitar string. More about the ADSR as Guitar Player Magazine says: "its an incredibly musical application that is very different from the usual expression-pedal tricks. You could do some groundbreaking stuff with this killer function!" Other features include a visual representation of the assigned effects signal chain, preset title, the voicing (channel) being used, are all conveniently displayed on the first preset page. The buttons in the 16 button matrix show the effect status (in or out) as well as allow you to instantly jump to those effects parameter pages for instant adjustment. Of course, the Prophesy maintains the high quality operational features that Rocktron processors are well known for, such as glitch-free preset switching with no signal drop out or lag time and the most natural sounding effects. Specifications: Input impedance: 470K ohms Output impedance: 150 ohms Maximum input/output level: +20dBu MIDI in: 7-pin DIN MIDI out/thru: 5 pin DIN Input jack: 1/4" mono Output jacks: 1/4" left and right Recording output jacks: XLR left and right Power requirements: 9VAC / 3.4 amps Dimension: 19" x 3.5" x 8" UL, CSA and CE approved operation

Amazing guitars, ive been waiting for one to crop up on ebay a while but i eventually ended up importing one of these: ESP | EDWARDS | E-CY-165CTM

I actually know alot of girls who would consider themselves groupies and have shagged relatively famous bands. To be honest i don't have any respect for them what so ever.

Oh yes, Infact the type of music i play is defined by what kind of groupie i wanna get. I play in a power metal band and our groupies are generally goth/metal girls which really isn't my thing so i started a happy hardcore/commercial trance band for the sole purpose of getting some hot girls who aren't covered in tattoos or have a face full of metal. Anyone got any interesting groupie stories?

Bangin recordings Seagate is pro as fuck

I know! Hes overhyped and just plain amateur, almost as bad as Russel Howard.

I spent alot of time looking around and i think the best deal is at bandbanners.co.uk or something like that. Its not particuarly cheap but you really need to get one made out of polyester fabric if you want a professional quality banner. We bought ours a while ago and im looking at getting another even bigger one and i'll probably go back to them. They do full colour and can work to a deadline too which is always helpfull.

The epic artwork is my doing i originally had no idea what to do for it. The girl wasn't originally in the middle and i had a wide open space which i had the ridiculous idea of filling with a tardis as Kevin was a massive doctor who fan and even had one in his flat! But then i realised how ridiculous it was and eventually solved the problem with a hot bird!

A few weeks ago my good friend Kevin McGee made the decision to end his own life. As a tribute to Kevin me and Nick from Ascension spent a lot of time arranging a power metal cover of the song "Listen to your Heart" originally by Roxette. Within a couple of weeks the song had been arranged, recorded, mixed, mastered and the artwork finalised. The single is available for free download through the link at the bottom but if you can find it in your hearts to donate some money to the charity PAPYRUS - for the prevention of young suicide - young suicide prevention - resources and support for depression and mental illness:Support PAPYRUS UK, it would be much appreciated. If you would like a hardcopy of the single you can send 2.50 to doc_metallica@msn.com via paypal(postage included) with the note "1 x Listen to your Heart single" as well as your name and address and it will be shipped out to you ASAP. The single also features the song "Time for War" and all proceeds will go to the Papyrus charity. Copy the following link into your browser and it will take you to a page where you can download Listen to your Heart and also the Durins bane/Time for War singles. Free File Hosting Made Simple - MediaFire And of course you can always hear the single and check up on us at the Ascension myspace: Ascension on MySpace Music - Free Streaming MP3s, Pictures & Music Downloads Cheers, Fraser
