    in my head i got some great moves...in reality im stuck to the spot,afraid to make mistakes!! some times i forget to breathe while playing,or if i move i cant hear my monitoring,but some of our best gigs are after i made mistakes and i dont care then!! but i cant move to far as im behind a box containing midis...im not operating them singer is! as for dressing up im up for it,i have goggles,wich im not allowed to wear...i also have a emulsion suit and face mask but the rest dont want to wear them!!,i wear black tshirt n cargo pants in black,i tried to get the others to do it but they wont one wears tees with stoopid slogans on,on stage due to the box it dont leave much room to move,but being techno rock we couls adapt a cyber kind of image,but we would be better with lights and visuals...anyone know any cheap ones? also we would like a dancer or 2 like hawkwind!

    anyone use them? as saturday i played at the hope n anchor islington,i didnt take my bass gear,so i got there and the only thing there was a battered 100w peavey keyboard amp with 115. thinking oh this is gonna be sh*te,thinking 100w would be a fart in a caulinder....plugged in give it about 10 oclock and was really suprised with the sound...some one a good 15ft felt the air being pushed like nuclear fall out!!!! i was quite impressed.....!!!!
    i thought it was 100w but seems to be 75w!! so loud!

    yea i did run a mic pre amp thro it,and i just tried it with EQ,wich to a degree boosted it,it 4 ohm which is what speakers im using,so its running correctly,ill look out for a cheap pre amp,or are there any pedals? sans amp is bit expensive!!

    ive had this a couple of years nowt about it on web,its supposed to be 150w b4t is no were near my laney,i had it checked some time back as if u crank it full it clips/farts out,as itsa power amp...i thoight it would be well powerful it was tested and the bloke who did it said it was only producing 100w!!....i only use it as a practice amp at home,but wanted to gig with it,i need to paint all my gear psychadelic like in uv and this head is ideal,as theres nowt on the front,i did have a mic pre amp wich boosted it a little,but thats now knacked!!,i dont really want to get in to buying pre amps ect,but would the farting be related to the drop in power?

    i neither like fenders or the beatles....i cant say there rubbish as they both very popular...i just think the davieses or the wilsons were far better song/lyric writers...the who were technicaly better band,the beatles just rode gravey trains...like a statement they pioneered psychadelia or prog.....pahleeesseee....moodys were there!! but each to there own i like others think they are overrated....
