FatHand Posted April 24, 2007 Report Share Posted April 24, 2007 send a text or leave an answer phone message and they will get back to you.Musical vision is a great practice place. The good thing about Aberdeen practice places is that the guys who run them are always willing to help you out. Least they deserve is for people to treat the equipment that they are using with respect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted April 24, 2007 Report Share Posted April 24, 2007 Although it was during the day it was only 20 for 3 hours or something like that. I'm sure Tom's used to do cheap deals during the day.I like Tom's. You can usually get a decent sound (although some of the amps are worse than others) and there's plenty of rooms so getting a booking isn't a problem. I only begrudge the price when the drummer/bassist doesn't turn up and we have to pay extra. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam 45 Posted April 24, 2007 Report Share Posted April 24, 2007 Aye, Lofi is amazing and uber cheap. Berkely is meant to be cracking as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Afro Droid Posted April 24, 2007 Report Share Posted April 24, 2007 Tom's does three hours for the price of two during the day at the weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HummerOfIntenseEvil Posted April 25, 2007 Report Share Posted April 25, 2007 Its a shame mark nicol doesnt do the place down at the harbour it was great place to practise.Shite sound, mind. But it was good if you got the last slot of the day and could basically stay as long as you wanted, having a laugh at the latest recordings on the PC.Lofi is a fucking paradise: CD burners, decent amps (if you can't be bothered lugging your own about), good sound, spare instruments, clean rooms, and best of all.....AIR CONDITIONING.With a remote control, at that. And all for 8 an hour. The guy that runs it is sound too.You can practise in Glasgow for as little as 3.50 an hour (depending on time of day, obviously). And none of the places we've been in thus far have been anything less than the standard of Musical Vision, So there really is no excuse for the high prices in Aberdeen, unless there's just no great demand for practise time - Glasgow practise places are always packed, but then it is a bigger city than Aberdeen with even MORE shitey bands.

framheim Posted April 25, 2007 Report Share Posted April 25, 2007 i think musical vision is the place to be. they have a lovely bunch of amps and some fine sized rooms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FatHand Posted April 25, 2007 Report Share Posted April 25, 2007 Until a third practice venue of the same quality and size opens up in Aberdeen there is no reason for prices to drop. Glasgow is so cheap because there are so many places. It is worth travelling down to Glasgow just to practice in Lofi once in a while, highly recommended.
