Cold As You ~ Taylor Swift

Cold As Ice - Foreigner

Over the years I’ve played and owned Teles, Strats (hate them), Les Pauls and SGs but, I got rid of them all and now I’ve got a Yamaha APX600 and a 335, they are all I need 😃👍🏻.

Enjoy! It’s a fun versatile pedal.

Really interesting to hear this guys knowledge. And Prince,s 3 part harmony and bass hook.

Heard a few horror stories about The Bull, as I'm sure you have. Not played there for a while. Hope tomorrows gig goes better.

Just got back from The Bull in Braintree - a venue that apparently hasn’t been putting bands on for long, but they have a nice area and very friendly staff. The gig itself was a mixed bag - halfway through the first set we had a few dancers/singers up and moving about, but with one song to go in the first half a *really* drunk guy came to the floor and was acting up. We hit the break, he continued to play up, there was a scuffle and he was thrown out. It killed the atmosphere and we didn’t get anyone back up until 3-4 songs to go in the second set. It is what it is. Back out again tomorrow, playing a social club where they’ve asked us not to play anything ‘too heavy’ - so we’re intrigued by what crowd we’ll have!

When it comes to breaking down some of the greatest records of all time this is the guy. Hes a great bass player/multi instrumentalist. In this vid he breaks down the woman in my profile pic. His other vids are just a real lesson in how the greats make their music.

Women In Uniform - Skyhooks

You'd probably expect the SRM450's to be louder. I think the original models used RCF drivers and all other things being equal you'd get more volume from a 12 than a 10. My memory of the SRM450's is that they were slighly bright sounding wheras the ART310s are very neutral. I mainly use mine as stage monitors where a flat response helps keep feedback down. Remember too that the 310's are the base model in the range and now discontinued apart from a batch that Thomann are selling off at a good price. The ART 710's and ART 910's are slightly more sensitive (louder) and probably better sounding, but I haven't tried them. The QSC 10 would be worth a look too but is slightly pricey. Adding a sub to any speaker lets you push it harder as well as improvingthe bass response. You shared some video of your band with me that I enjoyed, I don't think you are looking for out and out power and you might get on well with a couple of decent 10's and it does reduce the carrying in and setting up to use appropriate speakers. The vocal quality of the RCF 310's is great and they do acoustic instruments well. They are also reliable and hold their value well. If you are looking for a compact system at a good price they are well worth thinking about. I don't think I'd use mine with a loud drummer for a full on rock band in a bigger venue. Up to 100 people with your style of music I'd say you'd be OK and they are a damn sight easier to get onto the poles than the ART745's

I have temporary custody of a pal's '63. As far as he's aware, it's never been taken apart It plays beautifully.

I love it.. It weighs too much but the sound is truly magnificent - there's a bit of extra EQ (two little graphic pedals) and an Ampeg Opto Comp in the FX loop but the V6 is a fantastic tool..
