    I'm very much into my old school metal, but 'Soft Cell' did one of the best gigs I've ever been to.

    Custom Shuker. I designed it and it's couture, for my body size, arm length and how I position my arm when I play.

    Well to the chagrin of the detractors, I used my f[color=#333333]ully CE marked and EN certified, £2.19 earplugs at rehearsal yesterday (metal band, 2 gtr, drums, vox, bass). [/color] [color=#333333]They were comfortable, the attenuation was perfectly acceptable (although to be brutally honest a slight reduction across the board in the top frequencies, but I can happily live with that ). The only drawback was I had to take them out during normal conversation level conversations.[/color] [color=#333333]Edited as autocorrect changed drums, to droms. What the hell is a drom?[/color]

    Absolutely, but assuming something does not work because it is inexpensive is erroneous.

    Or go very cheap with plugs that work http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/161224332150?_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649&var=460275025651&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT Yup I've got some [size=4] [/size]

    [quote name='Cato' timestamp='1457167571' post='2995891'] If anything the industry is slightly more honest about manufactured bands & writing pop music to formulas than it was back in the days of the Monkees. [/quote] That's rather unfair to The Monkees. It was only ever meant to be a TV show. However its success fuelled by public demand led to the actors becoming the band. Micky Dolenz said something along the lines of 'an equivalent would be Leonard Nimoy actually becoming a Vulcan'. The original Tin Pan Alley had a corporate stranglehold over popular music from the late 19th century. So as others have posted, it's nothing new.

    This seems to be rather in vogue of late.

    2 bass amp models (along with all the guitar ones) Peavey and Trace Elliot. Each has 3 channels, which have different characteristics. Bump.

    I've only had my Tecamp Puma 500 a month and a bit. Glad I got it when I did.

    [quote name='MacDaddy' timestamp='1456583065' post='2990475'] I tried a 350, and used it at a rehearsal with a metal band (2 git, drum, vox). We rehearse at ridiculous near gig levels and it was plenty loud enough. [/quote] BTW this was through an 8 ohm cab.

    ok, amp details here: [url="http://peavey.com/products/index.cfm/item/1192/118347/"]http://peavey.com/pr...em/1192/118347/[/url] pedal details here: [url="http://peavey.com/products/index.cfm/item/0/118366/Sanpera%26trade%3BII"]http://peavey.com/pr...ra%26trade%3BII[/url] Both are in perfect working order - I will be using them tonight with the Junkyard Dogs (Chiswick Social Club 9pm kick off if anyone is around ). The amp is not that old and still under warranty, but there are scratches from being gigged and carted in and out of vans. I have tried to show this in the pics. If I was keeping this I would just stick some black gaffer on. Also the pedal is in used condition, and also has a couple of chips on the corners at the bottom. This sounds worse than it is, and I have again tried to show this in the pics. [attachment=213410:IMG_1163.JPG] [attachment=213411:IMG_1168.JPG] [attachment=213413:IMG_1169.JPG] [attachment=213414:IMG_1167.JPG] [attachment=213415:IMG_1166.JPG] [attachment=213416:FullSizeRender.jpg] [attachment=213417:IMG_1165.JPG] and similar on the opposite corner. Works fine though and is still stable.

    [quote name='discreet' timestamp='1456582574' post='2990471'] I don't agree, given the Tone Hammer's versatile Gain and Drive controls you can easily get that Ampeg-like harmonic grit playing a P Bass with rounds and a pick, and at high volume too. It's a great amp for practically any genre. IMHO. [/quote] I tried a 350, and used it at a rehearsal with a metal band (2 git, drum, vox). We rehearse at ridiculous near gig levels and it was plenty loud enough. TBH I probably needed to spend a bit longer with it to get to grips with the drive and gain controls, but I got some good sounds from it. Ended up buying a tecamp puma because it's simpler and smaller.
