If you end up with a cab with a port in the back, put it close to a wall to strengthen the sound projection. I'd also say cut the lows and boost the mids/upper mids a bit. Have a wander out front when you sound check to get an idea of how loud you are in the mix. I've had cabs in the past that don't disperse the sound very well, and what is barely audible on stage is deafening 30 feet away.

Got my tickets on order. Probably won't get another chance to see the best rock singer ever (in my opinion) performing the stuff where it all started. Can't take your money with you.

My bid is in. Hope I don't win it though - could lead to divorce.

Website is crucial in my opinion. If it isn't good enough get it sorted quickly. Live recordings, video clips, Youtube links, testimonials, still photos, bits about band members, equipment you use etc, can all make the thing interesting. Sort out your own publicity stuff as well with posters and business cards so that you leave something there when you visit a potential venue.

Sometimes it's more convenient to have a particular sound available in a pedal rather than setting up your amp to achieve it. You may not want 'that' sound from your rig the whole time but need it available for a particular song. The drive pedal I use is the Tritonlab one in this clip. It produces all sorts of tones that I really like. People have read up on these (not very well) and been put off by the bit that says it runs at 33v. It does not need a 33v power supply - it's internal wiring steps the voltage up from a standard 9v input. It also has 2 gain stages with different flavours to mix and match. Love mine. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S8aQExhdSj8

Looks interesting. Analogue or digital? The 5th option is cool. Look forward to your review since I like an octave here and there.

Blimey! Let me know if you're coming round my way and I'll move out to a safe distance. Are you related to the Kenny Everett character called Reg Prescott by any chance?

A nod to Bobby Vega.

Just down the road from me and got nothing on the calendar so will more than likely make it.

Don't play it in my current band but Lip Up Fatty used to cause absolute mayhem on the dancefloor. Also used to do a ska version of Tom Jones It's Not Unusual.

T Bone was such a cool dude. Miss him.

Juan Nelson, although you'd never say he didn't break into a sweat.

Thanks for that Oops. Can't find the manual to mine and am also a complete Luddite so that's a big help.

I've found the B3 a bit limiting because I've used some of the patches to create a 'global' sound (as in compression and light drive always on). I've then used the third patch to add an effect (e.g. octave). To maintain the global sound it's necessary to set up adjacent banks with the same compression and drive with a different third patch (eg fuzz),but toggling between banks is too slow. Anyone tried 2 B3s in line?

No mention of Play That Funky Music yet?

Mandolin. Hands too big and brain too small.

Could you not keep the Eden head and swap out the 4x10 for another aguilar 1x12?

Works alright if you take out most of the bass and a fair bit of low mids eq.. Electric guitar through a Fender Bassman is a classic sound.

Leave all that stuff to the flouncing flamingos.

Obligatory mention for Fender Rumble.

The worst 'song' I've ever heard would undoubtedly be some piece of Gangsta Rap garbage that I managed no more than enough time to turn it off - so I can't actually name it. I loved David Bowie but this is like finger nails down a blackboard for me. Dreadful cacophonous racket. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zc_9EpooJ2o[/media]

Yep! I use my thumb to play a fair bit on the bottom string as well whether a 4 or 5 string. I also rest my thumb on the pickup if using 2 fingers on the bottom string. Can't get used to having no anchor point and too old to change what isn't broken.

I use a fret wrap on my 5 string to mute open strings, or should I say, to cover up lack of technique.

[quote name='uncle psychosis' timestamp='1484820237' post='3218672'] This. They're dreadful. [/quote] Probably why they (Pink Floyd) have done so badly over the years.

I've got an older Roland Cube 60. Brilliant little thing with plenty of usable sounds from clean (same as the Jazz version I believe) through to crunch and full on distortion. Pretty loud if you need it to be as well. The other amp I have is a first generation Laney LC30. Laney don't have a great name to be honest but the LC30 is an absolute gem and not too dear for an all valve 30 watter.
