My sympathies, Delbert. At least you're never alone with tinnitus and it's a great tool for checking one's plugs are in properly when the tinnitus is the loudest sound. Ah, the perils of yoof. I've recently moved away from musician plugs & onto these [url="http://www.ultimateear.com/Sales/squidgy.htm"]http://www.ultimateear.com/Sales/squidgy.htm[/url] - now I have no fear of further damage




Strangely enough, when tinnitus becomes really, really bad, they give you a high-powered hearing aid to enable you to overcome it.

Nah, biscuits to make more mess.

Playing this tomorrow night, apparently. Any one help a lazy non-reader out with a tab for a 5'er before I settle down with Best Practice and a biro? :brow:

Cheers, Lager.

Mr C, have you tried Komedia in Brighton mate? They always sell out the decent rock trib bands and a straw poll of the punters at Iron-On Maiden indicated you'd sell a fair few tickets...

Mr L.

If you can find them, the SPL loaded Sunn 215B's or the EV loaded Mesa/Boogie Road Readys are the nuts.

Might pop down the basement in a couple of weeks then...

The LH-1000 works well with the Big One. My low B is detuned half a step & no problems at all through that set-up. I don't normally need any EQ either. Good luck.

Punk band - same largely original songs & line-up for hundreds of gigs & > 20 years; now infrequent gigs invariably to mates who come for the social, therefore audience expectations are of 4 40-somethings making a righteous din & shouting = total zone out.

Covers band - few gigs so far; real songs to uknown punters who expect them played well = worrying about the guitarists tuning issues. I expect more gigs / familiarity & the guits buying tuner / mute pedals to improve things significantly.

I used copper tape with a conductive adhesive, overlapped everything & it seems fine. Found it on the 'Bay. I connected the cavities with tape over the top. It's my beater though, so I wasn't too worried.

Welcome to my world mate.

Looking good, Shep.

Best Practice does exactly what you want. And more. [url="http://www.xs4all.nl/~mp2004/bp/"]http://www.xs4all.nl/~mp200 4/bp/[/url]

Chickenfoot. [i]Runnin' Out[/i], [i]Down The Drain[/i] & [i]Going Down[/i] all on the list for the covers band. Know what you mean about Hagar and Van Halen, but his Montrose stuff & CF are great. Rather see Hagar & Anthony than some 12 year old bass player who stipulates a '[url="http://www.thesmokinggun.com/file/van-halen-08?page=2"]study room[/url]' anyday.

Dimarzio Model P. In cream. +1 for redoing the wiring / shielding too.

[quote name='Johnston' post='929408' date='Aug 19 2010, 09:28 AM']Has anyone ever managed to get into or start a band just for the craic with none of the politics involved?? Just get together play some tunes from over the last 6+ decades .[/quote]
Yep, there are some issues surrounding noisy gear, tuning, dynamics, when not to play, feedback elimination, where the vol pot is and why it may be prudent to tuck your lead through the strap, but they're good players & good fun though so wtf.
