  7. Warehouse VS Korova

    in Other Clubs & Venues

    Posted

    Shame for all the people who lost their jobs.

    All good people who didnt really deserve to be told at such short notice.

    I went to Korova every weekend - but then changed to Warehouse and had a much better night out.

    Cheaper drinks, more bant and no posers or 14 year old girls kicking around unlike Korova.

    So the choice now lies between Korova, Exo or the moorings.

    I think the moorings wins by a long shot.

  10. Valve amplifier assistance

    My HT fuse kept blowing in my dsl 100 resulting in no sound coming from the amp.

    Turns out a dodgy cab at cpt toms resulted in my transistor blowing and knocking out 2 valves at the same time.

    Took it to Kennys music in Dundee - sent it to Marshall free of charge and fixing it for free because its still under warranty.

    Why not rap about something that they are familliar with?

    Most Aberdeen folks ive seen that are in to this shit do nothing but drive arounnd in "pimped out" '95 corsas with stupid exausts on a Friday doing "lappies" of Windmill Brae and Bridge Street night looking to pick up any unlucky underage "birds" who didnt quite look old enough to get in to Liquid.

    Almost makes me feel embarrassed to say im from the deen.

  22. Second hand tube amps?

    in Musicians' Corner

    Posted

    i bought my marshall tsl 100 second hand about a year ago, and it's definitely been a better option than buying new. it's in need of a service at the moment, but even if i'd bought one new it would be needing a new set of tubes soon anyway.

    the only thing i can advise is that you definitely don't need 100 watts. the tsl has a switch which changes the wattage from 100w to 25w, and even at 25w i still can't run it at much more than half. i know ross said earlier in the thread that you'd need a more powerful amp for DIY shows etc, but from personal experience this definitely isn't the case. i'd also advise saving up for a really good head, because otherwise you're going to want to upgrade in a year or so and end up paying more in the long run anyway. you could put the money you'll save towards getting a good cab or a set of v30's for the one you're running (:

    As i said earlier in the thread "you rarely need more than 100 watts"

    Finlay is right - save up and buy something decent so you dont have to replace later on.

    You just cant beat a good valve marshall.

    Lots of gain - but retains clarity.

    Used my DSL in the studio too and its a great amp to record with.

    I do wish id bought the 50 watts - but when playing live i tend to just crank it anyways - but its never usually louder than 4 - 5.

    Marshalls are fairly reliable too. The 6505 used to always cut out or fuse after prolonged use.

    If i had the cash, id buy another DSL as a back-up because they are amazin!
