What a wonderful, high scoring World Cup it's been so far
-
Goal of the tournament so far. I'm speechless, my wife is ending herself with laughter. Entertainment for all!
-
Thank goodness for that.
-
Very disappointing refereeing so far - surely it can only get better from here
-
Nuh-huh - the RD is a fantastic looking instrument, bass or guitar. Everything else, fair enough.

Good luck, I hope you make a better job of this driving lark than I have this week

You actually want my thoughts? OK. I think that you don't try hard enough to find the music you seek, because in my experience, it's way more varied in Aberdeen than the rather dismal picture you paint in your thread opener. Last Saturday I played at Drummonds with FaR in a lineup with an indie band and an electronica duo. Then I went to see some friends in their soul covers band for a bit. The week before I was at a new venture - an opera night, kinda like an opera's greatest hits. There's all types of music out there for those willing to seek it out. Hell, in my opinion it's more varied than what you describe at Toms.

No.

I still seriously doubt that we'll get out of our group, but a win's a win. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/27658776

I forgot to mention, the specific (discontinued) Ibanez Promethean I'm talking about is the P5110. There is a 300W Promethean (P3110/P3115) currently available but it's not got the removable head. It is louder in the combo (think it gives the full 300W) but delivers no more power if you plug in an extension cab (but will be louder because you'll be shifting more air).
-
Mind that's only when you take the head out and hook it up to a 4 ohm cab (or two 8 ohm cabs). Can't make it out much but here it is sitting on top of my 4x10 at Slains: I use it in the combo (250W) for band rehearsals and it makes itself heard pretty good (it is working pretty hard to be fair). Here's a recording from our rehearsal room. That's the room sound, recorded with a Zoom handy recorder, probably a bit of compression applied afterwards but no trickery apart from that.

It is unfortunate that the best tool that I've found for the job has been discontinued - the Ibanez Promethean or its "clones" (Harley Benton/RedSub). I have the RedSub BT5110. Here's mine doing a bit of solo practice: A 250W 1x10 combo, but with a removable head, so you can have a 500W rig if you present it with 4 ohms of cab(s). The combo is loud enough to handle gig volume band rehearsals (just), but you have the flexibility to really bring the noise if you have to (that's where the 4 ohm 4x10 cab comes in ). Loads of tone shaping options. Aux in, headphones out, DI, two button footswitch socket (mute/colour). I should stop. Suffice to say, it really can cover all applications (solo practice, quiet jam, iPod amplifier (got a tweeter so sounds really good), 500W amp head for a big rig). A bit chunky/heavy, not the bonniest cabinet (the Ibanez looks a lot smarter in this respect), but it's just so flexible. You might be able to find one second hand if you look hard. Other than mine of course, because I can't see a situation other than giving up bass entirely where I would sell this. Not sure which (if any) current products out there are quite as flexible, which is a shame.

What's your priority here? Size? Weight? Portability? Jamming with others - which others - an acoustic guitar or two for example?

Pardon me for interrupting with parochial news, but Shay Logan has signed for the Dons for next season. http://www.afc.co.uk/articles/20140527/dons-land-logan_2212158_3861256 Back to talking about the big(ger) boys now

NEVER download software from sponsored or paid links. Always go direct to the official source. Unless you like bundled malware and other assorted shite that you didn't ask for on your computer, of course

Aberdeen Mini Music-fest - Opinions Please
neepheid replied to MarkDrummer's topic in Music Discussion
I would definitely get behind this. I suppose the good thing about starting with the Tunnels is that you've effectively got two venues straight off the bat. -
I drew USA in the sweepie at work. So that's my team. Until the quarter finals at best I suspect.
