  1. To have 2 guitars you need 2 guitarists who are prepared to 'back off' when needed. Their gear is important too as they will need to sound different whilst not hogging too many frequencies. Having a few problems at the moment with our (young) rhythm guitarist who uses a Les Paul and is often too loud and all over the mix. Wish he would use a Tele personally. More instruments always means more discipline and knowing what not to play.

  2. Have only experienced this once. Bloke came up to me between sets and told me my technique was all wrong. He said I should be reaching over the neck and fretting with my thumb (!) so I politely pointed him to the guitarist, who according to him had his eq all wrong. We're pretty hot on not hogging each others frequency, so during the next set the guitarist pretended to change settings without altering anything and got a big thumbs up from the numpty. Was told after the gig by a couple of locals that the bloke was an expert on everything and a constant source of entertainment for them

  3. Can only speak from experience but I'd go for a Genz Streamliner. You can drive the valve preamp for grunge if you want and have bags of headroom with a 900. I use a 600 through a very efficient 2x12 cab and to be honest, if you need more volume that that you're ridiculously loud for a pub band and you might as well leave the drummer at home.

  4. I'd have that 2x12 combo in the blink of an eye if I wasn't fully loaded with gear already. I have TechSoundsystems gear (2x12 cab and also a custom made 2x10 combo) and it's all top, top gear in my opinion.

  5. Take a look at the TechSoundsystems 2x12 in the F/S section. I bought the combo that goes with it a while back and would have bought the cab if I didn't already have a vertically stacked Tech 2x12 cabinet. It will be tiny for a 2x12 and will undoubtedly sound the biz, handle whatever you throw at it and weigh nothing. Build quality on this gear is second to none. That's my 2p worth.

    Richie Blackmore used to swap his strat for a cheapo woolworths special before sacrificing it on the alter of Rock 'N' Roll and the [b]Marshall stacks he used to destroy were made of cardboard.[/b] It was all just pantomime for the teenage boys in the front row.

    I hope this bit of inside information has calmed you down.

    But....but.....those cardboard boxes could have provided somebody with a temporary storage facility! Outrageous!
