be careful you are not reincarnated as a mouse

is the bishop dropping a few space cookies in the green room ?

to reiterate many of th eabove - the extra cab will make a phenomenal difference - i used to struggle with a 250w head through a 410 cab always maxed out and only just getting heard - added the 115 cab - loads more air shifting amp runs at 4ohms instead of 8ohms so kicks out full 250w instead of about 180w but the biggest difference is the amount of air it moves - now i only need the master set half way so loads more headroom

The client turned out to be avant-garde American musician [url="http://www.bbc.co.uk/music/artists/e20747e7-55a4-452e-8766-7b985585082d"]Frank Zappa[/url]. Frank asked Pauline to type up the lyrics of his album, [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absolutely_Free"]Absolutely Free[/url] – a task she found somewhat baffling. Out of this encounter a friendship grew, and Pauline was invited to work for Frank in Los Angeles, where regular visitors to his log cabin home in Laurel Canyon included Mick Jagger, Eric Clapton and Captain Beefheart. It was the height of the Summer of Love, although things would rapidly change… Pauline’s book about her experience, Freak Out! - My Life with Frank Zappa, has been adapted by Matt Broughton and will air as part of [url="http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b042jhlc"]Radio 4's Afternoon Drama slot on Tuesday 6 May[/url]

[quote name='kevvo66' timestamp='1399191795' post='2441804'] Hiya, people,heres my problem sorry I'm sure this as been asked a zillion times ,I'm running two ashdown cabs with a Warwick profet 3.2 head 300watt, 8ohms, just not cutting through the mix these days, I'm up against two valve amp using guitarists, my question being is time for bigger head I can't really push the head anymore for fear of killing it,the cabs seem okay with my eb180 head but alas she's semi retired now so is living a quiet life now, oh the dreaded clipping at high volumes on the warwick. The warwick for sale on here can't give away lol,any ideas please.confused and p%**ed off. Kev [/quote] it's usually the guitarers fault turning their bass and lows up to high because they like how it sounds at home w***nking away on it and they cant turn the volume down or they wont get 'their sound' blah blah blah blah what two cabs are you using? i use a 1x15 with a 4x10 hooked up to a 250 watt head and it sounds massive but agree it would still struggle if the guitarer cranked his 50w valve job all the way up - we had gig last week at large outdoor event and were onstage doing sound levels and the sound guy says to guitar in a matter of fact tone ...'is that the volume you usually play at? ... because i can hear it above the PA' - i LOL'd onstage

wordpress or tumblr would be suitable for basic stuff to enable all those who dont have access to facebook

facebook + very simple website youtube and soundcloud accounts to uploads clips and embed them into your website

you need a van then you can get an 8x10 monster rig it really is the only way to scare some guitarers hope this helps

we played last night i had new strings sounded fab that is all

yes maybe they should have called it the pianotar

[quote name='Phil Adams' timestamp='1398934708' post='2439096'] Is it anything like the "Gizmo" that 10cc pioneered before Godley & Creme left? [/quote] i dont believe so - wasnt that some sort of bowing/rapid plucking device? [url="http://gizmotron.org/"]http://gizmotron.org/ [/url] [media]http://youtu.be/oyT6o3aT1a8[/media]

i agree i dont dislike the sound but .... wouldnt it be easier to have some sort of thimble/hammer widget on the end of your finger? bit like this

let's[s] rip this to pieces[/s] constructively debate this i can see how but im buggered if i can see why [url="http://youtu.be/HyzuzvWme_Y"]http://youtu.be/HyzuzvWme_Y[/url] [url="http://youtu.be/TB88QLzR8wA"]http://youtu.be/TB88QLzR8wA[/url] im not looking any more please tell me there's not a bass version of this

[quote name='Japhet' timestamp='1398590077' post='2435454'] Greg Lake? [/quote] not saying he is not good but have you listened carefully to keith emerson's solo piano stuff? [quote name='TheGreek' timestamp='1398591549' post='2435487'] Mark King??? [/quote] sorry but allan holdsworth once played with L42 anybody care to make the call on weather report or queen or any of zappa's line ups? and how about one of our basschat favourites, snarky puppy? - i would put my money on the keyboard players or the drummer or some of the brass section and to take Skank's analogy one step further, surely Ringo was the best in the beatles? any other drummer and they would never have sounded the same

only had one low B'er and that was my old trb6p - the scale length on that is 33-7/8 and the low B was awesome
