How Long on Stage Before You Get Your Mojo on?
JapanAxe replied to xilddx's topic in General Discussion
Ooh... Varies a lot. Sometimes mojo is engaged from the get-go (please address all complaints to the management), sometimes barely at all. Very much related to how we perceive the audience methinks. -
Marcus, perhaps you can ease your pain with a Tanglewood Rebel 4k... Or perhaps not
-
Never had this problem but solely use Macs (ooh that warm feeling of smug self-righteousness - almost like being a cyclist!)

I found it a bit annoying to start with but soon found it un-put-down-able. Of especial interest to those with relatives suffering from Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, strokes, and goodness-knows-what. Re EDIT: enjoy!

[quote name='tonyquipment' timestamp='1367442206' post='2065836'] yeah line out from the 1x15 into the 4x10. it was heard 100 yds away.. my friend said as he came back into the building afterhours and could hear me from the main road! huge success! [/quote] Aarrgh! A 'smile' on the graphics. Sorry but did you use your [i]ears[/i] or your [i]eyes[/i] to set that!?

I would GAS after one of these if it were not for the stripes in the hedstock. [i][b]WAY[/b][/i] too 80s!

At this point may I recommend the book [i]Musicophilia[/i] by Oliver Sachs. It seems music is a key function of the human brain, with the power to access other...bits.

Erm... I took a look at the website, but I'm still not clear what material is being used.

[quote name='Graham' timestamp='1367444801' post='2065901'] I used to have a Hartke Pro 4200 cab which was enormous and weighed a ton and had a rather daft design flaw where the handles had raised, embossed logos on them which left said logo imprinted on your hand when you carried it anywhere. [/quote] Now that's product placement!

In case anyone is interested, when I was in Crack Converters in Salisbury at the weekend, they had a blue Stagg EUB for £249. Didn't try it but looked in good nick, complete with gig bag. I am not affiliated to Crack Converters etc...

Arguably Roland's two best guitar synths were the GR30 and the GR33. Later versions simply dumbed down the concept for technophobic guitarists. This GR30 guitar synth served me well in my function band days. Package includes the following:[list] [*]GR30 floor unit (obviously) including 384 sounds to work with. [*]Original box. [*]Manual. [*]Genuine Roland power adaptor. [*]Expression pedal - can be assigned to various parameters. [*]Bank up/down pedal (saves having to fiddle about with shift functions). [*]CD containing GR30 editor freeware (works up to Windows XP, don't know about later versions of Windows), manual, quick start guide. [/list] To use the unit, you will need a guitar equipped with a 13-pin synth pickup, e.g.:[list] [*]Roland GR-ready Strat [*]Godin guitar with synth access [*]Brian Moore guitar with synth socket [*]Any steel-string guitar with a GK2 or GK2A pickup [/list] There are many resources available on the web for this synth. [u][b]NB: - [/b][/u][list=1] [*]If you have a Casio synth guitar with a standard MIDI socket, you would be better off using a GM synth module, as you will not be able to access many of the functions of this unit; [*]The unit will not work with a bass guitar (so don't even think about it!) [/list] I m looking for [size=5][b]£185[/b][/size] delivered within the UK. [attachment=133936:GR30.jpg]

Still up for grabs and open to sensible offers. Derisory offers wil initially be treated with the utmost contempt, then I'll go back and say 'Hmmm...' If you would rather not do bank transfer, I am happy to accept regular PayPal (i.e I pay the fees).

Serious enquiry received from a BC mate but nothing firm yet so still up for grabs and open to sensible offers! -
Monday bump!

Monday bump! BTW if you were worried about ever-so-slight prominence of the skunk stripe, you can only feel it - you can't actually see any difference. -
As others have said, it all comes down to what was agreed beforehand. I have actually paid a dep [i]more[/i] than the other band members (including myself), in recognition of the fact that he was a professional making a living at it (unlike the rest of us) and was saving our bacon.

This thread is just on the cusp of turning into a coffee-table-fest! **[i]duck and cover[/i]**

It's been widely commented on already in this forum and elsewhere, but TC's model numbers do not relate directly to the output power when measured conventionally. Some of their kit has built-in tricks to make it sound louder (it works!) - this is the case for the 450s and 750, not sure whether it applies to the 250 and 50 models.

[quote name='seashell' timestamp='1367102414' post='2061407'] Two at the moment. This is fine because a) we have no gigs and b ) I have no life. Seriously though I was only thinking today that I seem to be spending all my spare time learning and practising songs for the bands. So I have been neglecting my theory and general 'music' practice of late. :-( [/quote] That is true actually, I too spend a lot of time working up material for the next gig, and end up without the time to explore music-making possibilities that don't have a particular goal in mind. It's my own fault really!

the reason relationships and bands are a bad idea

[quote name='4-string-thing' timestamp='1367069888' post='2060896'] PMSL!!!! [/quote] What? Please try to take this seriously. 'PMSL' just will not do, you need at least a 'LMFAO' for this situation. -
Kids grown up and gone, working 4 days a week in my day job, so I manage: - My own band - My own other band (same guys so no clashes) - A 7-piece soul band (only works occasionally and has plenty deps to call on) - Various deps So basically 3 bands, or 2, depending on how you look at it.

Gobsmacking! Imagine having to play the fingerpicked intro in front of that lot! [quote name='thunderbird13' timestamp='1367076371' post='2061038'] Was it me or did the gutiarist miss out a bit in the solo ? [/quote] Yes it was edited down a bit in the arrangement, but not fatally.
