Reminds me of a time we agreed to do a charity event for "exposure" (drummers idea). We followed on from the kiddies Balloon Man, he went down better than us, and I killed up my valve rig from the generator. Cue £450 re valve and repair bill. Never again!

Another vote for the MB CMD 121H I've been using this for the last 2 years (over my Ampeg rig) and it holds up well against a loud mic'd up drummer and a 100W Marshall and 410. Everything is Di'd to the PA but it's certainly loud enough for onstage monitoring. AND it's seriously light at 16Kg

we play at least 2 Whitesnake numbers in the set, with a female singer. Pretty sure Mr Coverdale is/was taking the p1ss and even is he wasn't I'm pretty confident his dodgy old 70's Carry-On lyrics aren't going to suddenly misogynize our blue rinse punters too much. It's all fair in Love & War down the Dog 'n Duck...on a Saturday (before the last 11pm bus)

zoom B3n..probably...

It's hard to do an encore when the landlords put the Telly back on, switched up all the lights and put some hip hop back on the radio.

I think it's more to do with people desperate to hear live music than some sudden new found fans

They can F*&k^%g have 'em!!!

Thanks Phil. Our first gig is tomorrow, table bookings and..it's sold out! 100 people inside and loads more outside and at our last rehearsal on Wednesday I forgot whole sections of our 20 minute medley from hell, so no pressure!

Good Times Bad Times, by Zep. That little bass run used to be a major sweaty lip moment as I was on my own. It's ok now but there's a few other tricky bits in it that made me dread it coming up even though I love the song.

gotta love a committed skin beater

I know he pretty much divides opinion on here but I think this is a really fantastic bit of melodic and tasteful playing (well perhaps before the slapfest starts) There's also a useful link to the Interactive TAB below the video if anyone fancies learning it (it's hard btw). I'm going to have a go although the slap is well beyond my ability. actually starts at 1:07 https://tabs.ultimate-guitar.com/tab/davie504/s-l-a-p-p-guitar-pro-3445838

hope you're on the road to recovery matey.

This one really was. I was looking for recommendations on sub £5 (3 meter) guitar leads as our guitarist is too tight to put his hand in his own pocket...

we have 14 gigs booked up to December, the first one is next Sat (can't wait) But..it's been really hard getting them. Most landlords I speak to aren't taking bookings until after the 21st and waiting to see what happens.

hmmm. I tend to get mine serviced every 12 to 18 months. I don't gig it very much these days but when I do I'm pretty terrified of it and I don't want it blowing up on me. A re valve is horrendously expensive. Even if the tec takes a looks, gives it a basic service and says yep it's fine, that's worth £50 quid a year to me.

yeah just got my daughter a 2015 MacBook pro Retina display (?) with 8 GB of RAM for £275. Probably a bit weedy for Logic but she's into DJ'ing so runs RekordBox no problem.

If you have a decent spec Mac (expensive!) then moving onto Logic would be a good move IMO I only left macs because they can be so expensive to upgrade to, and reaper runs on a fart. The free plugins available now are so good that unless you're a professional they're good enough for most people (again IMO) But for £200 quid Logic will give you anything you will probably ever need. Good Luck!
