  1. If doing straight covers then learn them at home along to the cd. than at practice have a listen through as a band so you're all on the same page as to structure etc then have a go!

    be prepared to "fudge" the songs a little to help with the flow depending on the make up of the band (replacing keys sections with guitars etc)

    also that set seams like a very varied set so could be quite a stretch for your singer! be prepared to change the key that your playing in to suit.

    just make sure that they're fun to play and up tempo! they won't need to be spot on, but the crowd will need to recognise them!

  2. I have applied those stickers to all my basses!

    got them off evilbay for a few quid and well worth it! They are clear to see but aren't as bright as the led markers so don't look tacky and over the top.

    the led markers always remind me of the guys with all the neons under their cars i.e. the fast and the furious

    nail varnish is a good tip! mine didn't fall off but used to slide around on the neck before the varnish.

  3. i've stuck my ampeg rig on ebay!

    I bought it a little while back to record my bands ep with as my old ashdown had a problem with the Di out.

    Since I have got my hands on a custom marshall pre valve rig and I love it to bits the the ampeg has become redundant and its a real waste for it just to sit in my garage gathering dust ( and i could realy do with the readies at the moment!!!)

    I don't know if it's just me, but i was lured towards the ampeg after all the exposure they have 90% of bands on telly are using them! but I just couldn't get on with mine, I don't know if its the 'classic ampeg tone' but it just didn't suit my style/sound i want (i miss the wooley sound of my old ashdown), Oh and it weighs a tone, But dont let that put you off, each to their own


    anyway follow the link and have a look

  5. ok.

    I have an ampeg classic 15" cab. the problem occours at half volume upwards.
    basicly at low volumes it sounds lovely, but when it gets louder the cab starts to buzz/rattle, Its starts to sound like it has a seriuos flatulence problem and my lovely clear, deep and warm tone dissapears.
    I've eliminated it being the amp or bass driver by replacing both of these.

    is there a way to fix my problem, for example sealing all the joints (especialy the front baffle board where the speaker is mounted) with a silicone sealant like you use around the bath?

    or is it time to nuy a new cab?

    your help and advice is much appreciated

    Jim

  6. ok.
    firstly i need to replace the driver in my ampeg svt-15en classic 15" cab.
    i don't know if i am being really dumb but i can't find a way into the cab to get access to the speaker, my old ashdown grill unsrewed, and my marshall guitar cab back comes off, but the ampeg cab seams to be a sealed unit with no visible joins or screws?

    is it atall possible?

    then secondly, the cab is rated at 200watts at 8ohms. with my head being rated at 350watts at 4ohms and 250watts at 8ohms.

    If i bought a 15" 400w at 4ohms driver would this work ok with the amp? (i'm not planning to add any more cabs, I understand that two 8ohms cabs would equal 4ohms)

    your help is much appreciated.
