Harley Benton seem to have managed to avoid the vitriol that is aimed at Behringer.

Watching this with interest. Mike builds lovely basses and is a top bloke to have a natter with.

Heft? Is it any good for metal?

My band DEMONSKILL are after a guitarist. We play metal but influenced by the old school - Megadeth and Iron Maiden, are big influences. We rehearse near Putney Bridge in that London. Have a listen and if you can play this kind of thing and want to play it with us, get in contact. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC8imaIl2gBt-fhWRtZFtHIg

[quote name='alyctes' timestamp='1460935440' post='3030005'] True. But I doubt a silent band would be any different. [/quote] Not true. 4'33" [u]is[/u] [size=4]silent. The score states 'tacet'. [/size] So whatever else is going on volume wise, it's not the performance.

[quote name='Oil price' timestamp='1460106402' post='3022566'] [/quote] I've got one of the Trax guitars which sounds great. I haven't heard the basses, but there's a demo here at 1:43. The guy is playing over the neck though, so I'm not sure how much difference that is making to the sound. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AeZVOsdqReM&nohtml5=False

even if he doesn't get paid?

Tigertailz used a similar design. IIRC they were Royals?

How's about a Snapdragon folding bass?

This was the itinary for yesterdays gig. It was one of the quarter finals for the m2tm competition which has a slot playing Bloodstock as a prize.

No refreshments for any of the bands, not even a complimentary drink. Obviously no pay or expenses because its a competition, but the £7 door fee goes somewhere, even though other regions do not charge.
