Fear of the Dark - Iron Maiden

No Surprises - Radiohead

Saturday night for a birthday do at a cricket club near Bradford. A few teething issues with our singer having had to shell out £620 for a new wireless mic and struggling to get it working properly; our guitarist was too quiet and our synth player too loud for the first set; there was a vox delay in the drummer's monitor so we had a few timing issues. Other than that we kicked butt, and my new Ashdown cab sounded gorgeous with my trusty Squier Precision played through it and the ABM. Dancing from the start and got good feedback from people who know what they're talking about. Even managed to find a fellow basser to geek out over gear with! Just need my blisters to fully heal before the next gig on 26th now...

She's Leaving Home - The Beatles

The story of last night in three pictures...

Not so lost any more, Rob Trujillo off of Metallica bought it. It looks a lot different now than it used to.

King of the Kerb - Echobelly

The difference in scale length, string spacing and finger positioning takes a bit of getting used to (be prepared for your fingertips to hurt!), but if you do it enough you'll be able to switch back and forth like nobody's business. There's plenty of two- or three-fingered chords you could play on guitar, and the limitations might even give you a unique style. Plus you could accurately describe yourself as a multi-instrumentalist!

True Blue - Madonna

I Guess That's Why They Call It The Blues - Elton John

Spanish Train - Chris De Burgh

The Classic Albums episode on Rumours is also worth watching.

Cigarettes & Alcohol - Oasis

Have A Cigar - Pink Floyd

Pork and Beans - Weezer

Or he was begging to go on Mastermind

Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band - Jollity Farm

Eurythmics - Thorn In My Side "Mum - mum - Mum-Ra!"

Bruno Mars & Marc Ronson - Uptown Funk

Cheers, that's what I was trying to determine! 😁

Ah, I'm getting confused between sound energy and volume it seems. In layman's terms (which very much applies to me) would it be vaguely correct to say that running the two cabs together would be about 10% louder than the 4x10 on its own, or in other words not worth the hassle?

Thinking about this again, doesn't a 1.5dB increase in volume mean a 50% increase, which would seem common sense since there's a 50% increase in speaker area?

Lynyrd Skynyrd - That Smell
