  1. Had an outing at E's skate team show at Transtion, old amps in action: Uploaded with ImageShack.us Uploaded with ImageShack.us Uploaded with ImageShack.us Sorry about the broken link.
  2. We now have an old A/H series 42 desk. Gigs will be starting at the beach and other outdoor locations imminently.
  3. Inch has a record of putting on relatively big name acts that are well attended - usually at the Station Hotel. This could be a good place to try initially. +1 on Elgin/Lossie area aswell. I have a vintage PA rig for use, including vintage desk if equipment a problem.
  4. Tell me about it. In fact if I put any three of the above heavy metal amps in a rack and it's well over 100kg. Still, who needs a back anyhow? See you had a HH mixer on the bay not long ago. You got a good price for that.
  5. The speakers are also vintage PA gear, consisting of: Cellestion bullets RCF loaded HH horns Emmie 12" flares HH 15" Martin 215 mk2 loaded with PD154 and we are currently developing modified 18" scoops. We are always looking for old gear to refurbish and bring back into service, so if you have old pa gear that needs a good home or saving - please get in touch.
  6. These are the vintage amps we currently use: Amcron DC300a MM Paice AP360 HH S500d Studiomaster 400c Studiomaster 1000 Citronic PPX450 We also have access to Void's and the legendary Amcron MA10,000!
  7. Try Millennium Child: MILLENNIUM CHILD ENTERTAINMENT , Millennium Child | Facebook bebo.com - Profile from The Hip hop school, Aberdeen <thehiphopschool>
  8. Had a gig at the weekend in an unusual place: On top of a scaffold tower in the centre of a climbing hall. A search light followed competitors in the national finals up a boulding course. Unusual view from the decks, people hanging around by their finger. Kids liked it, but everything had 5mm of chalk dust on it by the end. View from the decks, below is the view the other way:
  9. Yep, I moved the thread to a more relative section.
  10. This is what we are working towards: This is a scoop, it does sub duties: Check this WMD out: Contact me at my shop at 378 Great Northern Road.
  11. Participants are needed for Soundsystem crew. If you love bass, and want to help/play - then get in touch. Soundsystem plays any bass heavy music from Reggae to Drum and Bass. We use only vintage equipment from 30-40 years ago. This is the sort of bass levels to expect: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CfUs3-0EL8I...ram%3E%3Cparam Check fae 2:50/3mins in .....feel it. Please, we need your help to form a crew, ring 492902. Bless.

  13. Sounds like Martin, lol. Kia Ora dj's started there aswell.
  14. All thanks should be given to Martin Bell for getting the ball rolling, if it wasn't for his persistance and dedication it would never of happened. Drakes is solely down to him. We started a night for ALL music (called Four Elements - combining rock, funk, techno and reggae) down at Cellar 35, which we quickly outgrow. Martin then badgered the then owner of La Lambada every waking moment until, in a fit of rage and desperation to get rid of him, he threw the keys to the cellar at him. Martin then set about the place, and the rest is history...
  15. Just about got all the amps, racks, processing and cabling sorted. Also sorted Tops, Hi's, one set of mids (enough for now) and half of kick bass section. Currently saving for enough wood to start the all important scoops. Soon come.
  16. Can you describe what colour the crown amp is? what knobs on the front, etc. and the extension cab - I am after an HH 1x15. Cheers.
  17. You can learn hip hop dancing at Aberdeen Foyer, off of Crown Street. Word.
  18. Aye, you would need two cars for stereo. Seen 7.5T lorries done as mobile speaker stacks, one truck pulls up, opens the back to expose the stacks while the other pulls up on the otherside.
  19. Or get involved with a soundsystem so you can play anywhere, at any level, for any length of time. Interested, then call me on 492902.....
  20. If you want to know about one of the best British amp manufacturers of yesteryear then go and visit MAJ Electronic (who took over service and spares) or Welcome to HH Amplification (for flyers and details/specs). The VS Musician, VS Musician Reverb, and the VS Bassamp were drawn up in January 1976. Early versions can be identified by having two input jacks on the main channel, in lieu of the single jack plus "Effects Input" DIN fitted on later units. These were a natural progression from the IC range, and demonstrated HH's response to the necessary "Valve Sound" then beng requested by certain factions. These amplifiers all contained a sealed "Tone Correction Module" aka the "Valve Sound Module" which was promoted as the heart of the Valve Sound of these units. Used correctly it actually worked very well. Used incorrectly by the set the controls for the heart of the sun brigade, the transistor power amplfier took over and the subltey was lost. The non reverb VS Musician was produced in small numbers and is now quite collectable. OPINION: Although the passive EQ tones of the IC I00S are lost in these amps, used correctly the sound is very good, very 70's, and the VS function works very well. The VS Bassamp feeding a good 2 x 15 cab is an absolutely cracking bass sound.. Sorry folks, power and Sub FX is one thing, brilliant sound quality is another... It is also possible that the VS units were featured on Bolans last recordings as they must have been available to him (as an important endorsee and patron) before his untimely death in 1976.
