Certainly, pm me your address and I'll send it on to you shortly.

[quote name='EssentialTension' timestamp='1374426379' post='2148593'] But what if some people do have dire taste in music and I am offended by that? What shall we do then? [/quote] Post to Basschat whinging about it, of course. It's what everyone else does.

[quote name='EssentialTension' timestamp='1374339106' post='2147818'] Dinosaurs is not a species. [/quote] Species is a singular and a plural.

That would contribute to the problem, the further forward the speakers can go (or the further back the mic), the higher the volume can go without feedback. The floor would be less of an issue than a hollow stage, which makes things boomy and where you can get feedback through the stage itself. I'd be inclined to look at the room generally and see what oddities it had.

[quote name='steve-bbb' timestamp='1373287796' post='2135641'] yes - and pointing the speakers at slightly different angles [/quote] How far forward of the mics were the speakers?

We used to play a bit of Quo in the ceilidh band - the middle 8 from "Burning Bridges". Great band, I saw them a couople of years ago in Brum and thoroughly enjoyed it. Don't think I've got any of their stuff on anything more recent than vinyl though.

[quote name='4 Strings' timestamp='1374177454' post='2146219'] It's not the noise from both, rather the assumption that the music has to stop because the all important tele may be disturbed. The tele, now indirectly disturbing the music. [/quote] Is the telly loud enough to disturb you? If not, then I think you may need to readjust the level of your playing field.

One of the pioneers of tribute was Bjorn Again. T. Rextasy are pretty successful. Another I've encountered (but never seen) is Alike Cooper.

3. tauzero - Tecamp Puma 900, TC RS112 (if there's room for more cabs), Sei 5-string everythingless, Warwick JD Thumb 4-string, Antoniotsai 5-string, probably a couple of Zoom things (B3 and/or MS60B)

AFAIK I can do either.

I'm up for it too. Seem to have a rather fallow period at the moment so I'm not particular about date, a Saturday or Sunday afternoon would be great.

Audacity is available for the Mac. I use it for editing audio recordings from a Zoom Q3 - generally just select a track, normalise it, and export selection. There's lots of other effects available.

Actually, I might take up the trombone. When I was at school playing guitar in a Glenn Miller tribute band, one of the trumpet players had a missing hand. He had a sophisticated hook for everyday use but he'd take that off for playing the trumpet and put on a special adaptor. And a while ago I played a gig at a pub which had a house band. I thought the (two-armed) bassist was playing with hammer-ons so he could make adjustments to his amp, but after a little while realised that he simply didn't have the use of his right arm. Turned out he'd had a stroke some time before but it hadn't stopped him playing.

I'm sure I'd find a way round it. After all, it's all that most of the bass players in the bands round here use.

I saw a bit of their Glastonbury performance. That was quite enough for me.

Could I join the queueueueue please?

[quote name='Happy Jack' timestamp='1373463368' post='2137875'] A deliberately damaged musical instrument is an aberration, a passing fad which will one day be viewed with contempt and amusement. If there is one thing it does NOT require, it's artistic skill. [/quote] Just a cold, cold heart.

I've heard back from Tecamp. Apparently some (nominally) 4 ohm cabs can be a little too low impedance and the power amp gets too warm and cuts out (though the case doesn't get all that hot), and there's a mod that Tecamp themselves do to add a fan by the ventilation slot (just glue it in with a silicone glue and solder up to a 12V supply from somewhere). They're supposed to be invoicing me and sending me a fan but I haven't heard from them yet. They sent me a photo from which I can make out that the fan is a Sunon MagLev 40x40x40mm fan, so it's probably a HA40201V4-0000-999, and they put a resistor in series with that, the value of which I don't know. If you're playing into an 8 ohm load, there's no need to worry.

Their website says "Precision crafted in a CNC facility by Korean master luthiers (highly experienced in the production of big brand OEM guitars)"

The words "It seemed like a good idea at the time" come to mind.

That sounds like a good thing to me. No crackly pots and the pickup works. If there was noise from the controls and no sound from the output, that would be bad.

I really should keep up here. The single-coil pickup is an original fitting on a Gibson Les Paul Studio Lite M-111.

I was another who got sacked so the best mate could join. What was particularly iffy was that they didn't tell me - eventually the rhythm guitarist (who hadn't particularly favoured bringing in the best mate) had the goodish grace to text me and let me know. That rankled for a while. There was a silver lining though - I was going to dep for a former guitarist's band, finished up joining permanently instead, then we drafted in Mrs Zero on vocals when the vocalist went AWOL. In an unfortunate twist, the best mate bassist subsequently developed cancer. I haven't hear any further news - I know he had to leave the band. I hope his treatment has been successful because I'm not anywhere near nasty enough to wish that on someone.

I'm in three bands: [url="http://thelightning.co.uk"]http://thelightning.co.uk[/url] - The Lightning, mainly classic rock covers but some originals, fronted by Mrs Zero [url="http://spiralsix.co.uk"]http://spiralsix.co.uk[/url] - Spiral Six, rock covers from 60s to present day [url="http://mixedherbsband.co.uk"]http://mixedherbsband.co.uk[/url] - Mixed Herbs, female-fronted club/functions band that isn't doing an awful lot of clubs or functions ATM Mrs Zero and I do the occasional bit of duetry as Second Time Round: [url="http://secondtimeround.org.uk"]http://secondtimeround.org.uk[/url] Hmmm, better remove the ceilidh band from my sig...
