Great. Genuine seller. A pleasure to business with. Thanks Pete.

Personally I'd hold on to it in case you get the bug again in the future. With Covid, no gigs for months, so many bands folding and so many venues closing, it's a buyer's market at the minute. I've seen so much gear for sale recently for absolutely ridiculous money, it almost makes me wish I was still in the UK.

I feel the same about Oasis. The Happy Mondays, The Stone Roses or any other band that came out of Manchester in the 90's while I was listening to Maiden. Metallica, Guns n Roses and Alice Cooper. 🤘😆

I suppose it depends on where you joined the party. Seventh Son was the current album when I started listening to Maiden. It was one of the first albums I ever got into as a whole, and probably the first "theme" album I ever heard. I loved the story telling aspect of it as much as the music. I worked my way backwards from there and found I equally enjoyed everything that came prior. However, nothing that came after had nearly the same impact. The same with Metallica. The Black album was the current album when I discovered them. Although a lot of die hard fans will say that's the start of the decline. To me it was, and always will be their best album. Although Justice and Ride the Lightening come pretty close. Then came St Anger which I thought was absolute dross and I lost all interest. I haven't really been able to get into any new stuff since then. A lot of it I suppose is because they were the album's I was listening to in my teens when I was forming my musical tastes. Nothing I've heard in the following 30 years has had anything like the impact of those first albums.

I've just given this a first listen, and I'm not sure if it's my ears, or my sound system, but the mix sounds good awful to me. With both the bass and the vocal totally washed out. Does anyone else think the same, or do I need to readjust something?

Wow! Absolute bargain for somebody. I know the 8x10's aren't very popular these days, but still..... If I was anywhere near I'd have that like a shot! Even though I've got absolutely zero practical use for it.

I don't know. But I hope someone beat it to death with an iron bar then set it on fire.

I love Iron Maiden. Or at least I did up until the Seventh Son album. They kind of peaked there for me and I could never really get into any of the subsequent albums. Although I've seen them live many times and it's always a great show.

Nice to see there's still some paying gigs around for those in the right area. 👍

Nice one Dave. I bet it felt good to be out there doing your thing. 👌

Vintage have always punched well above their weight. Until Harley Benton came along, there was absolutely nothing that could touch them at the budget end of the market. Great instruments at a ridiculously good price. I'd almost feel guilty picking one up for£50. 😂

I ordered some a few weeks ago. They're pretty good, but took me a couple of attempts to get them working properly. Can't fault them for the price.

I think I might have written this. I mean, I know you wrote it, but the words came straight out of my mind. 😂 I absolutely loathe Oasis. Trite nasal whiney drivel sung by an absolute w@nker.

Yup. Sorry. My mistake. 2x8ohm cabs, totalling 4 ohms. 👍

I have the Bugera and it's ridiculously good for the money, and louder than you're ever likely to need. As Phil says above 2x4ohm cabs is perfect. That's how I run mine and it sounds monstrous.

Yeah. Good luck with that. 👍

Well done. The box at the front seems to be thoroughly enjoying his evening.

Agreed! 😁 But then again, I also like tambourine and shaker, which our singer does extremely well.

Funny. I was thinking rather nice headstock spoiled by yet another boring Fender clone body. 😅

Whether you need it or not, only you can decide. What I will say is it's an absolutely superb bit of software. If you are recording however, Superior Drummer 3 is in an entirely different league.

This thread has just turned into pointless bickering now. Ridiculous really. Some bands play for free. Some don't. End of It's been fun. I'm out.

The definitive reply. This thread can now be closed. 😁👍

And they have every right to do so. Whether the paid bands like it or not How else are unknown bands going to build up enough of a following to be one of the paid bands?

Maybe the gig was so bad she's gone into hiding. 🤔
