[quote name='bremen' timestamp='1347271966' post='1798565'] Haha, you do like your gear as heavy as your music don't you! I'll PM you when I get rid of the power amps I replace with ClassD [/quote] Heavy gear is harder to knick but I currently have a RH450 and 2x RS210s. Not exactly heavy weights I'm just not adverse to weight in a setup. Quality comes first for me, then cost, then practicality

Just found this for you [url="http://www.skiffy.com/docs/menufr.cfm?taal=gb&ID=1&order=order&pagina=inhoudfr.cfm&pag=imgindex2.cfm&img_id=13"]http://www.skiffy.com/docs/menufr.cfm?taal=gb&ID=1&order=order&pagina=inhoudfr.cfm&pag=imgindex2.cfm&img_id=13[/url] They have transparent screws etc

[quote name='bremen' timestamp='1347270365' post='1798536'] My opinion on power amps is that they're too heavy. [/quote] Man up Don't mind the weight ourselves (we'll happily get a rack on wheels ) Thanks for the offer for help

The band is starting to get some momentum behind it again and we're thinking of getting our own PA so we can broaden our horizons a bit. The vocalist is pretty handy at building stuff so he's thinking of building a couple of BFM PA speakers (we're thinking the DR250's but not REALLY looked into it a great deal YET). We're also thinking some subs would be handy considering we're a pretty heavy band with plenty of lows so a couple of Titans too? We're a heavy but melodic death metal band where the drums are programmed and as such need a lot of OOMPH through the PA without compromising the vocals (a problem we've encountered on some PA's) So, questions:[list] [*]Is this a good setup? [*]Any suggestions on PA to drive the setup? (I've experience of live sound but never had to set up with subs before and it's confusing the matter) [*]I'm guessing we'll need a crossover for the subs too? [/list] Any other thoughts? I'm basically thinking out loud here and opinions are appreciated

[quote name='watton_earth' timestamp='1347182081' post='1797653'] That really is amazing work....sound clips please. May I ask about the headstock? Why change the design from the original? [/quote] I believe that may have something to do with our favourite person

You would think at that price postage would be free

[quote name='RockfordStone' timestamp='1346943884' post='1795148'] the singer will be all important in that act lol, if shes any good go for it. playing bass in an evanescance band is easy [/quote] Lol that's what I said!

Funnily enough there's someone who's trying to set up an evanescence tribute locally(ish). Quite interested, if the singers any good I'd be quite interested in joining then possibly leaning to originals a bit later

[quote name='zero9' timestamp='1346939811' post='1795076'] Bad luck Rik. I'll try and get to another local gig if I can. I'm intrigued who the 'wiser one' is. Wil [/quote] Cheers I'm going to be disappointed if he's not in a jedi robe

Like that a lot Give me a shout when the physical cd's are available Also Cerberus Cell may be up for gigging with you if you're interested (and we're back to gigging)

[quote name='bluejay' timestamp='1346934914' post='1794989'] And hadn't they known your age/seen you before they asked you to audition? [/quote] Nope

[quote name='Happy Jack' timestamp='1346934514' post='1794977'] You can't just leave that on the table and walk away! What does it mean? You were 20 years younger than the band? [/quote] Nah, was his own words I was pretty much the same age as most of the band but experience wins out. In all probably they were probably a better player than me too

Yeah no hard feelings etc All decent guys and if they're local at any point then I'll drop them a line and go to one of their gigs

Thanks, considering pushing the originals a little bit harder to get gigging properly.

Just heard back, I didn't get the gig unfortunately. I was told I played really well and they would have accepted me but I was beaten to it by someone with more age and experience in this particular genre of music. Back to looking for more bands

Isn't the logo on the status just a decal... couldn't you just remove it?

Usually (smallish gigs)... Get the vocals as loud as you can without feedback, that's your reference point. Everything else together shouldn't be louder than vocals. At this point I usually get the band (no vocalist) to play bringing each part up gradually (but not worrying about EQ) until the band sound good together. Then ask for one more number, this time with vocalist. First bring the band up to sit well with the vocalist. Then start twiddling EQ to make the band sound good as a unit. By the end of the track you should be done. To be honest this is my "long" sound check. I have done band soundchecks in under 30secs when needed and only ever struggled in venues where I can't get the vocals louder than acoustic drums without feedback

Quick point here but how many originals bands play weddings and functions
