Quote your sources and no plagiarism after the fact please! I'll start with: "What do you mean I'm not kind? Just not your kind." (Dave Mustaine, Megadeth) "It doesn't matter what you say.... ' cos they'll always find some meaning in it anyway." (Henry Rollins, The Rollins Band) [/quote] "What d'ya mean i don't pay my bills! Why do you think i'm always broke?!" (Dave Mustaine, Megadeth)

From what i've heard tho, older gibsons are better than new ones. I once played a 73 Standard and it was much better than a 95 custom. That is my only reference point tho it may not be completely true.

Why can't you like all of it! I love groove music, i love heavy technique music, i love crazy experimental music, trad jazz, cheesy cheesy pop music, classic rock. Non groovy music, punk. I don't get why you can't like it all!

[quote name='icastle' timestamp='1344199431' post='1761208'] Just make sure you're wearing rubber gloves... Oops - wrong forum... [/quote] Ha ha

[quote name='icastle' timestamp='1344198885' post='1761193'] I'm more of a 'verses, choruses and a bit of a tune' sort of guy. [/quote] Me too but i like sticking my fingers in a lot of pies! fnuurr fnuurr!

When i started at music college during theory lecture the lecturer addressed the class. He said "When people asked me what i do i used to say i was a pianist. They would say 'oh really di you know this tune, do you know that tune'. I got fed up of this so i started saying i was a musician. Then they would say 'really, what drugs do you take'. So i started telling people i was an Emotive Response Manipulator. They didn't say anything" I liked this so when people ask me the question............I say i'm a musician!

Does it sound exactly the same every time they play it? I ain't being arsey with this question. i write experimental stuff from time to time. I studied 20th century contemporary music (minimalism, serialsim, aleatory etc) at uni and fuse it with the pop and jazz rock etc when the feeling takes me.

Its funny to me how some are talking about hate for altered tunings. Its just a tuning. It's not like they've pissed in your face or slept with your girlfriend.

How about get your bass set up in C standard. Then relearn everything in that tuning and then you can play all your C metal stuff aswell.

[size=5][sub]I absolutely love her! My mum got me into her music when i was five. Then when i was older i fell in love for different reasons. Ha ha. her music and songwriting is genius. One of the best. There is good bass playing on loads of her stuff. Babooshka for starters. (good for other reasons too!)[/sub][/size] http://youtu.be/6xckBwPdo1c and check this out http://youtu.be/8CzKUmy6TFQ

[quote name='BluRay' timestamp='1343845101' post='1756284'] but are two small handbags better than one big one? [/quote] You would have a greater area covered with two handbags swinging at once!

[quote name='Marvin' timestamp='1343841617' post='1756205'] I agree entirely. I'll even go further and say that there almost appears to be an agenda behind the thread. [/quote] [quote name='Musicman20' timestamp='1343841789' post='1756211'] Seriously? Thats like me saying 'there is an agenda behind your defence to BF'. If you aren;t party to it, you can't tell if you'd be offended. Alex barely visits Basschat, or barely posts, whichever, so its odd that his return is an argument. [/quote] [quote name='Musicman20' timestamp='1343842125' post='1756217'] I'm quite happy for anyone to say whether they would or wouldn't be offended, but I have been singled out, and I feel a little aggrieved, so yes, not happy. [/quote] I've followed it all, all day. To me it was just handbags from both sides at certain points. i don't feel there were agenda's or people being over offensive. It was just a difference of opinion. Like in everyday life. It just got a little heated sometimes. Just handbags tho!

Is that a no on the trade with the peavey and marshall then?

[quote name='alexclaber' timestamp='1343838674' post='1756125'] Pete, we have a one month trial period and we don't want to waste people's time or our own time selling them an inappropriate cab, or waste their money and our money shipping it back and forth. Our smaller cabs (unsurprisingly) can't handle certain bigger gigs in certain styles and ones without tweeters won't do certain tones etc etc. Our Super Twelve T does everything you'd expect a great 4x10" to do (but better in other ways). But if you're chasing smaller and lighter than we wouldn't want someone to end up with something that can't do what they want because they're pushing the envelope too far. This all seems much more of an emotional and psychological issue than an amplification one! For the record, we ran an offer last December which was a pre-Xmas offer and it was clearly stated as such. Gareth emailed me in February and again in May asking if we could repeat the that offer or do another discount. We don't do discounts or endorsements unless there's a really strong business case (like Flea saying "I want a cab!") because it wouldn't be fair to everyone else, many of whom are working bassists, who are paying full price. Others ask as well. I'm sorry I mentioned it, I'm just getting tired of hearing the same things over and over and over and over again from the same person! [/quote] I'll swap a super 12 for a broken peavey 210tx and a faulty 400w marshall head from the 90's

Don't bother talking to the others first. Just stand up for yourself in front of the band and have it out. The rest of the band haven't said owt to him yet, and they should of, so who's saying they ever will. No time like the present. Sort it before it snowballs! T

I'm near manchester, I could find out all those details for you i.e weight, cost to send etc and let you know! Like i said may take a couple of days tho!

do you want me to take some pics of it and pm you? It's in good nick apart from it not working ha ha. It might take a day or two tho as it's not at my house it's where we store our gear.

[quote name='Mr. Foxen' timestamp='1343756843' post='1754753'] Most people don't like the tweeter on those anyway, so no horn isn't a massive deal. They don't sell for much but they are a sensible size if not weight. [/quote] Yeah, i always had it turned down really low and when it went i just disconnected it rather than gettin it fixed. I ain't bothered about how much i make, just want rid really. I just don't wanna lose money. Would rather chuck it than fix it and lose money.

Any info on the horn (titter titter!)?

[quote name='icastle' timestamp='1343756449' post='1754744'] Unless you know for certain that you've driven the cab too hard and blown both speakers, chances are that it's going to be a wire disconnected. At the very least I'd take a look inside and see if there's a lonely looking wire floating about... [/quote] Doh!

I have a Peavey 210TX (350w @ 4 ohms). It is broken. I don't need it even if it wasn't. I don't know whether i should skip it or fix it and sell it. i know it definitely needs a new horn. I have no idea how much they cost or how much it would cost to have it put in. Also no sound comes out of it. I don't think i've blown the speakers, I've never put a lot thru it. I don't know how much it would cost to fix it or even how much it would be worth if i did fix it. Obviously there is no point paying to get it fixed then selling it at a loss. What do you reckon? Any ideas? Is this a dumb thread?1 ha ha

It can be done, i did something similar however it wasn't a gig it was a rehearsal. In my late teens and early twenties i used to do a lot of local amateur and professional theater gigs. I got a gig doing Grease it was semi pro but at at a big theatre running for a week, pretty tidy money. The night before the second rehearsal i got totally shitfaced and the following morning turned up for the rehearsal still arseholed and without my bass. The MD wasn't happy. He asked what i was going to do. I spied a double bass in the corner. I said 'oh, I'll just play that!'. He asked if i could play it. 'Course i can i lied'. Found a couple of notes and blagged it brilliantly whilst rough. My fingers were grim for a while after tho.

Hi, Asedya require a new drummer. We are a Heavy Rock band who rehearse in Leigh, Lancashire. We play originals and covers (seperately). We have recently performed gigs at The Academy in Manchester and The Night and Day cafe. We have a gig coming up supporting Hellbound Hearts (ex terrorvision). You can listen to our music at facebook/asedya. If you like it, get in touch with Tom at [email protected] and we'll sort something out. Cheers

Soundcheck?!?!?

No, the drummer changes with me!
