I am really annoyed. I understand that someone wants to move on, but to give three weeks notice is not cool. we have been together for over a year and he has really dropped us in it

Played at The Penny Theatre in Canterbury tonight for the first time and it went really well. They usually have tribute acts on a Saturday but the manager wanted to try a covers band and so we managed to get a slot. Wasn’t sure what to expect as we were told it emptied out by 10pm. We were a bit late on due to various issues and didn’t get going until 8.30 and then we had wireless and Wi-Fi issues but on the whole the gig was great and the manager said it was the busiest Saturday that they had had for months. I used my @Tech21NYC Steve Harris pre amp tonight. I saw the great man himself playing in British Lion on Sunday and so thought fit to use it. Unfortunately our drummer announced he was quitting after the gig, and said he would only do one more gig in a couple of weeks and that is it. Quite annoyed to say the least, as we have quite a few decent gigs booked this year including a wedding, and he has really dropped us in it.

I want one, but definitely don’t need one! I have till the end of March to get the want out of my head!
-
They are shipping at the end of March, the digital version looks very flexible. It has a compressor, noise gate, octave, tuner and access to 5 different Darkglass distortions

I have been looking at getting a Darkglass 2x10 cab which are on sale for around £800-£900, now I am thinking for a few hundred pounds more I can get a whole combo. Pricey overall though
-
They look fantastic, v jealous of those who bagged one!
-
I dread seeing how much these will cost, given their 2x10 cabs are around £900 and the heads £750
-
Some new combo's have appeared on the Darkglass website (presumably ahead of NAMM) https://www.darkglass.com/creations/ No info on pricing yet that I can find, but they look good. I have been looking at buying a Darkglass cab to go with my Alpha Omega amp, but might hold off and see what these are like.

I saw British Lion (Steve Harris solo band) at Leo’s Red Lion in Gravesend this evening. It was brilliant, and just as good as when I saw them in the same venue a couple of years ago. I find it amazing that he gives just as much effort and enthusiasm playing in a tiny place like this as he does playing at The O2. I managed to shake his hand as he walked past at the end as well.

That theatre is just a few minutes up the road from me. The land that the temporary theatre sat on was a huge patch of bare earth for years since an old coop was demolished. Quite a feat to get it up and running so quickly

How are you finding the 1 x 12 cab? I have an Alpha Omega 500 and am looking to swap my Orange cab for either a Darkglass 2x12 or 1x12. I’ll be using it for pub gigs, and not sure if 1x12 will be enough
-
I had my eye on ordering one of these when they were announced but missed out
-
Our local shop often leaves parcels piled up outside ready to be picked up by Evri!

From Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son: Can I Play With Madness The Evil That Men Do Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son All classics. I was 8 when the album came out, but was fortunate enough to see the Maiden England tour 4 times in 2013/2014 when the toured it again.
-
I’ve got my eye on getting a Digitech Drop. It’s looking like the band will be down tuning a couple of songs by 1/2 - 1 step. A lot of places seem out of stock at the minute though
-
That wireless looks cool, it would be great if the release a 5.8ghz version

New Tech21 pedal Frank Bello (Anthrax) sig. Now with video demo.

The Dug one looks like it has a small headphone button on it, maybe they changed the design -

This pedal sounds great. I have the Steve Harris version and I love it. I wish Tech 21 would include a better option for headphone use on these. The Steve Harris one is supposed to be able to power a set of headphones, but I have never had much luck in doing so -
Its really annoying, as it only seems to work properly at 50% of gigs. I pair it last after the other items are set up, but often just get a weird pulsating noise from my bass. I prefer using the Boss units rather than the Lekato ones as they don't move around as much
-
At our gig last week we had 2 x lekato XLR on 5.8 and I was using lekato guitar wireless on 5.8 and everything seemed ok. i tried to soundcheck with my Boss WL-20 which I prefer to use, but it kept cutting out so switched to the Lekato guitar wireless. I am finding more and more that the Boss WL-20 doesn’t work properly at gigs anymore.
-
I am using the Lekato 5.8ghz XLR mic transmitter set with Behringer P2. Its a bit bulky, but once it's clipped on my belt, I don't really notice it. It has really clear sound, and I have had no issues with it in the 6 or so gigs I have used it for now. I got mine off eBay for about £65, they are more expensive at Amazon at the minute, but the price seems to fluctuate all the time between Amazon & eBay. At our last gig, we had 3 things running on 5.8ghz with no issues. https://www.amazon.co.uk/LEKATO-Wireless-Microphone-Transmitter-Receiver/dp/B099ZBHQ3C

I do the same with my lekato 5.8, I plug an xlr cable into the mixer and the other other end into the transmitter and haven’t had any trouble. We stated using one for a wireless mic as well, but that goes straight into the mixer

Hi is this still for sale? -
Darkglass B7K Ultra V2 - £190 inc postage - *SOLD*

Hi - is this still for sale? Does it have an aux in? -
I have been to one before, and kind of cheated as I knew the band and their set list, and so learnt a few of there songs in advance. Unfortunately the ones I had learnt they played as the warm up to the evening 😂. in the end we had a run through of a few that I hadn’t prepared in advance and it was fine. There is a local one this Wednesday, and I am going to try and get to that.
