By the time my kids have grown up, they'll be making and listening to music in ways we haven't even dreamed of yet.[/quote]

Good point. Seen as though my day job is in geek land, I was amazed to see what is effectively sci fi now. It's demonstrated here.... [url="http://www.musionmedia.co.uk/cisco_day.html"]http://www.musionmedia.co.uk/cisco_day.html[/url]

Watch up to about 1 minute (beware the content is boring business blx) into it and people will get the idea I think - the possibility of virtual bands, bands playing virtually live in your living room etc...

what's your budget?

whereas at the other end of the scale, these cheaper rays seems have popped up, looks lovely too - £689...

cheers for that, will have a sign up see what gives

[quote name='uzzell' post='471636' date='Apr 24 2009, 03:54 PM']I will be putting up a couple of photo's this evening. I'll be honest and say that its not the best kit in the world but i manage to get a pretty decent sound out of it at the end of the day.

I'm based in swindon, west country. Due to the nature of the kit there is no way i am willing to sent it so collection only i'm afraid. I really need shoot of it soon because i am moving soon and really cant be bothered to take it with me only to sell it anyway. As a result i will be likely to reduce the price every so often to ensure a sale for myself and a bargain for the buyer.

Like i said, pictures to follow.[/quote]

awesome, look forward to seeing the piccies. Can't be worse then what our drummer already has, given between every song he has to re-tighten everything for starters

where are you based and do you have any piccies.

Our drummers kit it uber poo and he's tight so won't buy a new one

Luckily mine was one of the last, so they'd fixed a lot of the issues. If it does start smoking though, I'll probably start laughing and get the marshmallows out

[quote name='EBS_freak' post='471537' date='Apr 24 2009, 02:27 PM']Which specific model? Which year?[/quote]

he's got one of the re-issue cc2's - get's very hot and smelly. Recifier valve went the other month, quite common unfortunately.

Most reliable valve amps I've used have been musicman/fenders.

Although I'm guessing it doesn't help in the fact that most practise rooms have terrible power supplies and are likely to spike like buggery thus destroying ones lovely valve amp.

I've got a superfly and whilst it does get hot, it doesn't feel like it's going to catch fire. I prefer the weight advantage of not having the big chassis and heatsink because I'm lazy

[quote name='EBS_freak' post='471507' date='Apr 24 2009, 01:47 PM']Sounds like a fire waiting to happen [/quote]

nahhh, that's our guitarists ac30

finally got chance to try one of the much hyped classic vibe basses the other week. I was shocked as it was much nicer to play then the 3x cost fender equivilent next to it.

Good work squier

[quote name='thisnameistaken' post='462527' date='Apr 14 2009, 09:52 PM']Every time I'm in there it's that impossibly pretentious hairy boy from Idle Jack and his cronies. He brought a theremin along last time.[/quote]

Well rob the singer from Idle Jack runs the night, so he will be there, but there's usually quite a few good acts on. I was just pointing out for warwickhunt on the offchance he fancied something a bit different. There's also a good one at Dusk on a sunday night too, which was responsible for my monster hangover on monday... grrr


[quote name='thisnameistaken' post='462527' date='Apr 14 2009, 09:52 PM']Yeah City Screen's often got good stuff on.[/quote]

Heads up for 30th April - James Apollo [url="http://www.myspace.com/jamesapollo"]http://www.myspace.com/jamesapollo[/url] for an ultra fine slice of Americana if that so takes anybodies fancy.

just a quick note to say tubedepot [url="http://www.tubedepot.com/"]http://www.tubedepot.com/[/url] is a great place to get stuff, and they'll even mark down the customs packets for you so you hopefully won't get stung. I've ordered tubes and speakers from them in the past, never had any problems

I've just had a quick look at the listings for the main places and to be honest, you'd be better off going to Ye olde Starre inne on the thursday night for the open mic acoustic night. Most of the people in the best (original) bands in york tend to shufty down there on a thursday night, so you'll see some fantastic, and drunk stuff!

Also worth a mention is the rather excellent city screen basement bar. Not the best layout for a venue, but incredibly intimate and they have some fantastic acts on there from out of town.

£3800 starting price for a Warwick vampire !!!!!!!

[quote name='beerdragon' post='453112' date='Apr 3 2009, 11:03 AM']I ordered an item from this place on wednesday, [url="http://www.dangleberrymusic.co.uk/"]http://www.dangleberrymusic.co.uk/[/url], i used Paypal and paid an extra £6 for next day delivery. i received an email saying my order was being processed. Thursday, nothing. fired off an email asking for a refund on the postage as i did not get the next day delivery. i got an email off them today, (Friday) saying to use the the fill out form to contact them. what the did they think i used to get in touch!. there's no telephone number as far as i can see. when checked my paypal account there's no money gone out of it. so what are they doing? don't whether to tell them to stick it or what. anyone else used these people?.[/quote]

if you've payed via paypal just stick in a dispute with paypal, you should get your money back.

[quote name='PauBass' post='452137' date='Apr 2 2009, 08:15 AM']I really dig bands like Lettuce!, Incognito, Jamiroquai... any more bands out there you'd recommend?[/quote]

anything from the acid jazz label is a good start, so Mother Earth, corduroy, james taylor quartet, galliano etc...

A little know band (now defunkt) called DAG, Prince, Spearhead and one of my personal favs - G love and special sauce

but for me, still can't beat the original p-funk

I've always found most the stuff on denmark st to be overpriced, but I expect that because of what and where it is. I do love looking around, but do have a chuckle at some of the prices, but I think fair play, as most of the people I see playing the stuff in those shops are all suits who play for a bedroom style hobby who can afford to spend £1500 on a whim for a nice guitar.

Horses for courses really.

The only thing that bothers me is the attitude of *some* of the staff in the shops. Given I was interested in buying a new bass, I asked if they stocked X bass, and all I got back was "no". No sign that they wanted to try and help me chose anything different, or anything like that.

+1 I'm afraid.

First thing I though was nice photos, shame the guys look like every other band out there....

bloody corporate arses.....

i don't know that much, but if it's monitoring you want then buy specific in ear monitors, not expensive headphones. The difference being is usually that the specific in ear monitors will give you what you are looking for, plus act as almost earplugs as they are moulded to completely cover your ear if that makes sense, so you don't get as much bleed from the live sound. What you linked to are just expensive headphones, and I'm not sure would be much use in a live situation to be honest.

sounds more like ocd to me then anything else.

worth mentioning donald duck dunn i reckon too, i always forget how good he is

just to echo the "there's nowt you can really do" comments.

+1 on the explain to the bride and groom about the fact that there is a sound limiter and chances are to get it loud enough for people to enjoy it will trip. Then just play. Not much else you can do I'm afraid. No point in worrying about gear as I'm guessing a large wack on the snare will do it practically every time.
