What's yer band called? Are you on their Facebook page? Have you been loving the fact that everytime you seem to go back there's suddely an extra half hour on their damn licence?!!! Hehe. I think the bar shuts at 1 or 1.30 now. Anyhoo, back OT, I didn't gig this weekend, I moved into my flat and started painting and sorting the little electrical and shower problems!

Yep, my mate's band supported Busted once and saw exactly that happening. As for McFly, I'm embarrassed to admit to auditioning for them. Well, it was an open audition with no band name mentioned so I popped along, thought "ug, pretty boys" and played [i]terribly[/i] for 30 seconds (some people got less than that!). Needless to say 6 months later I spat out my coffee when I saw them on TotP for the first time. Close shave.

Gig sizes would be a maximum of 200 I play punk-ska Although...Has any seen or heard a place to get marshall jubilee heads all i really want is the sleeve but the actual head would be nice![/quote] Be the first one on here to get the Marshall and you can tell us all what it's like

How long is a piece of string? What style of music do you play? What sort of sound are you after? Gig sizes? Probably discount the Laney based on what I've heard about them but it might be right for you! Just remember, the opinions you get here are probably biased towards what we all like and your opinion may be different!! (I personally wouldn't have any of them, I'd try to track down a Trace or an Eden Nemesis combo 2nd hand instead) If you can, go try them all...

Just to add another +1 to the "Status are cool" band, love mine to bits

[quote name='Deep Thought' post='80553' date='Oct 28 2007, 07:43 PM']Ok forgive me if this is a silly question, I was never any good at this sort of stuff. I have two combos, an Ashdown Mag 300 4x 10, and a Trace Elliot 7215 SMC 1 x 15, which was originally intended to replace the Ashdown. However since I still have both here to hand, I have hatched the plan of hooking them up together to give me some more wallop onstage. Both are 300 watt (although I'm told the Trace only produces 200 through the onboard speaker and 300 when a cab is used, although there's no mention of that in the manual) and both take a minimum 4 ohm cab. Can I do this, how exactly, and is there any disadvantage other than the obvious weight/size issues? Thanks.[/quote] Both the Ashdwon and the Trace will be ~200W into the 8ohm internal speakers, 300W into a 4ohm load. So to ge tthem both operating at 300W you'd need two extention cabs anyway. However, using them both at 8ohms will already be increasing your air movement so will certainly help! To link 'em together, take the line out from one and stick it into the input of the other. Or split the signal before the amps... Have fun, should sound nice

If you don't buy it can you tell them I will?

Have fun and let us know how it goes! We're doing our first CPC next April I think, should be a giggle

Sod it, what I am going to do is sell the Trace head + flightcase. It can help pay a bit towards the electrics or shower. Then in the future when i need to, I can buy somehting else if I want. It'll be in for sale soon, once I have some piccies!

Mike that is stunning, well worth your agonising wait! I like the Shuker case too, the "S" looks remarkably similar to the Status "S" to my (very bad) eyes. But back to the bass. Wow. Hope it gigs well tonight

[quote name='shaundixon666' post='76340' date='Oct 19 2007, 09:18 AM']Glad you got everything sorted [/quote] Cheers. Here's hoping my crap soldering skills hold up now!! Can't wait to try it properly in a rehearsal room to make sure the F# woof was caused by my environment at the time, or else I'll be having to do some maths to change the port sizes

Thanks people! I think I slept on it funny on Wednesday night so had this crazy idea, I woke up today being less convinced it's a good idea. Flat electrics it is

For some reason this week I've decided I don't like my Trace 12-band head as much as I used to (especially compared to the V-Type combo) so I'm pondering swapping it out for one of these: Jamie's other V-Type combo (4x8" speaker config) A brand new GK 700RBIII (£435) A brand new Eden Nemesis 320W head (£280) I was considering ~£400 for all of the following: the head (well, obviously) the 5-way footswitch a custom made flight case (£170 last year) [b]Am I going mad?[/b] Can somoene slap me and tell me to worry about buying my flat next week and the electricity problems there? The combo would be awesome but space might be an issue so that's why the two heads are in the mix too. Or should I do it?
