That's one of the main reasons I got hol of my sound city b120, use for both bass and guitar, just swap cabs around. I think it sounds good

What cabs have people been using it with? I have it through an Ampeg 1x15 at home at low volumes, but its probably gonna go through the Marshall 2x15 I've been gigging with lately for anything else. Been playing some guitar through it with a Marshall 4x12 at home too and that's sounding pretty lovely!

These gigs were not in Moho, the sound guy mentioned was from fac251.

Fantastic set from you chaps the other night, really enjoyed it! Check them out people!

[quote name='deepbass5' post='1249551' date='May 29 2011, 07:37 PM']Just had another couple of listens, like the making of. Is Cold hands a number you have already done as a band electrically and adapted for Brass band for the energy? If so have you changed your approach or part to accommodate the sheer power of the lower brass instruments? Just curious All the best it deserves to get noticed[/quote] Thanks man Yeah, Cold Hands was already done as a band, when we had the opportunity offered to us to work with the Leyland Band, it was kind of meant to be on another of our new tracks, but the idea of brass on that just seemed a bit too much like shoehorning it in and didn't feel like it would have fitted right, but we felt that it would be really suited if we took a bit of instrumentation out of Cold Hands to make some space for the brass to build the sound that it would fit really well. The original idea we had was to film a lot more of the process of the collaboration between Dresden and the Leyland Band, a bit more of the meeting and talking, and working on arrangement etc. but unfortunately we didn't have the cameras or film people involved as early as we would have liked to get that on tape... We often have grandiose ideas but lack the equipment or contacts to pull it off. That said, I'm still over the moon with the finished thing and very proud of it

You should be rightly chuffed about it Let me know next time you're playing locally around Manchester - I'd certainly like to see you guys live.[/quote] Thanks very much mate We try not to do 'normal' gigs, but we played a gig last night for the The Laboratory Project indie label that have included this track on a compilation, its on iTunes and all other places now, so I reckon we are looking at September for our next event, I will let you know Thanks again for watching, its nice to know people are

Thanks for watching Here is another slightly longer video, mainly has a load of waffle at the start, but its got footage of us setting it all up to record. We set it up to record ourselves, all sorts of mics (that our keys player/producer could tell you) I can remember some neumann's being there but I'm not massively techy on that side of stuff myself. All just set up and ran into protools behind the stage. We had a plan of how we were going to position the mics prior to turning up, basically just singling out the brass in sections, and seeing how it sounded. We did about 6 takes altogether for the camera crew to get lots of angles, but they had a couple of cameras that they found to be defective AFTER we had finished, so we didn't get as much footage of the brass band as we would have liked to be honest. We have mentioned with the band the idea of doing a full gig with them, and they were really excited at the idea, but it may end up hard to put together due to the space needed to have us all there, and they have a very busy schedule generally... I'm really hoping it does happen though! As far as us, Dresden, you can get our debut album for free at [url="http://dresdenmusic.com"]dresdenmusic.com[/url] This track isn't on there, its one of the first we have started recording for our 2nd album, but we are in no rush with it at the mo.

Here is the finished video in case anyone fancies a watch - Cheers.

Oh, and cos it looked like a few people like to see the insides and all that, I took a quick pic with my phone whilst Dave was looking at it... Is this a nicely wired one? I dont know what Im looking for, lol.

Haha, cheers, but I reckon it will... Got up this morning all excited, and... [b] it wouldn't turn on [/b] Just been in and had it serviced with Dave Lunt, he said it was one of the best kept ones he had seen (its still got the original plastic cover) He had a bit of a fix around, replaced the heavy duty mains switch, the treble pot, bias trimmer, bias cap and something else bias that I cant read on the invoice. Now its sounds sweet on first listen, gonna go platy some more

[quote name='pete.young' post='1243904' date='May 25 2011, 09:19 AM']Dave Lunt in Stockport - his address is in the 'Recommended Amp Techs' sticky.[/quote] Thanks for that, I should have probably searched... Oops. I picked this up today, so am looking fwd to getting it plugged in and having a good go tomorrow. Prob get is serviced pretty soon just to make sure it's all tip top

Anyone recommend a good Manchester amp tech?

Cheers folks, I like the sound of it being hard to kill!

Getting hold of a Sound City b120 mk4, and its my first foray into the world of fully valve amps, so I'm pretty excited! Who's got one? Any tips or tricks, or any good or bad stuff to say about them?

Management is the one thing we really need too, but it all seems a bit of a nightmare getting anyone... best of luck mate.

I will be there mate, as I play bass in Dresden Shaping up to be a great night all round by the sounds of it.
