  1. [quote name='Wil' post='758756' date='Feb 27 2010, 12:22 AM']It sounded like they were having a good time - that's what it's all about to me. Depends what you want out of a band really.[/quote]

    Thing is, I'd be happy to accept that this sort of rehearsal is pretty fun, but I think the major issue (to me at least) is that they did this in a first rehearsal which is a bit squiffy to me!

    and whisper,followed by a quick air guitar rendition.[/quote]
    Hah, yes! Love those!

  3. [quote name='tom skool' post='756829' date='Feb 25 2010, 10:12 AM']hi all
    I have got an old valve amp which has got one 8ohm output and one 16ohm output.
    Is there any way i can attach more than one cab for a bit more oomph?
    I'm guessing putting an 8 ohm cab to the 8ohm out and a 16 ohm cab to the other wouldn't be right for some reason.[/quote]
    I too think this would be bad juju. How would the wattage balance for one? Will let more techy people fill in the details though :)

    After seeing your two I'm equally tempted! Really wanting either another streamer or a thumb. Would love a thumb.

    Happenned in my third gig, was standing at the bar near the stage and turn around and there he is playing through it. Just assembled my first head/cab setup so I was not happy to say the least! Cue "Oh I thought that it was the venue's". He could have asked the tech who was right by him if it was or not! Sigh.

    [quote name='LeftyJ' post='755760' date='Feb 24 2010, 06:59 AM']Sometimes it has its advantages to be a lefty :rolleyes:[/quote]
    [quote name='leftybassman392' post='755256' date='Feb 23 2010, 05:49 PM']Sometimes it's just sooooooo cool to be a leftie! :lol: :lol: :lol:[/quote]

    One of the few advantages of our condition :lol: My views of it are- if they know what they're doing (a bassist in another band say) then I'm very happy for them to try it out. I was lucky enough to have the cash and find the deals that got me my equipment, want to spread the love! Besides, you can't find Warwicks or Musicmen in a lot of music shops these days so it might be one of the rare occasions they get to try such briliant instruments. If they come away thinking "that's what I want when I have the money" then I feel I've helped :)

    On the other hand, randomers are a biiiig nono. Get to utter the immortal line "Well I would BUT I'm left handed. Sorry!" :lol: Gets more difficult when they insist that they'll play it upside down. No you won't. You'll stuff it up somehow. I know how these things go down and I saw the getaway car outside. Be gone from me demon.

  6. If it's just for practising by yourself I wouldn't personally worry about tone too much. I mean I've spent years finding the tone I like in my gig rig but I'm happy practising through a rubbish 20w Axl amp thats probably worth about £20 :) I mean, why spend money finding your tone when all you're in your room and just need to hear yourself? Of course if you want to record through it that's a different matter. Guess the Tascam might help with that though?
