    +1, live music is in decline (well Rock is), the next generation, with a few exceptions, don't have the passion for it anymore, too many other things in competition for youngster's attention these days, the fact that record sales have been in decline for a long time now must say something

    I would have thought it was simple, if you think compression does something and you like it, use it, if you think it does nothing, or you don't like it what it does, don't use it, I really don't see the point in one camp trying to convince the other by starting to insult them, me? I can't tell what they do but I use a sansamp bass drive sim so it's not surprising

    it's happened on occasions when someone has asked to join in on a song, they're always terrible, then you can't get rid of them, our singer's a bit of a soft touch when asked and normally will give them a go, (fortunately his partner is very good at dealing with drunks) , I always say, if I get asked, we're not karaoke that's next door

    so on it's own it's only 50 watts louder (which is next to nothing) than the Rumble 500, bit strange

    anybody compared the zoom bass driver sim to the sansamp? because that has a mid control late edit, on mine I have bass on -10 treble on -10, presence on -10 and mid on 0 as I want a bit of drive without affecting the EQ

    all this it true, I used the word 'just' to emphasise the point that there's no digital black magic going on here just someone deciding what multi fx settings you need to achieve a certain sound, nothing wrong with that, Trace Elliot were doing it years ago with their pre shape buttons

    forgive my cynicism, but aren't amp modellers just preset EQ with a bit of distortion in there if needed, and, if say you're modelling an Ampeg SVT doesn't it matter what you are actually playing through as well? I know that doesn't apply in this case because the modellor is built in

    Good man, if you can't come on here and have a good moan what's the world coming too? Incidentally, we kept things on good terms when the our Drummer and Guitarist left, we've used them both as deps since, so you're right, never fall out with someone unless it's unavoidable you never know what the future holds

    announcing stuff on Facebook without clearing it with everybody first is bad form and leads to difficulties all round, but some people don't seem to have any idea about good manners, if you want to do the gig they want you to do, do it if it fits in well with you, if not or you feel badly let down tell them to flip off
  10. PaulWarning
    yeah I do that for our guitarist, admits he can't sing but doesn't stop him trying, at a gig recently I kept turning him down all to no avail, still too loud, at half time I found out we'd mixed up the the usual inputs on the mixer, I'd been turning myself down

    I use a B1on for gigs, smaller, lighter, I don't change it mid song or make adjustments on the fly but the B3 is better for making adjustments just to see what happens, so I guess I'm very similar
  12. PaulWarning
    I had a MB 210 combo for a few years, no problem with it, nice tone and very loud, just moved onto something lighter, I don't think Marshall do class D or Neo speakers do they?
  13. PaulWarning
    surely, whoever starts the song sets the tempo? unless you're using a click track of some sort (having said that we still sometimes speed up when the drummer comes in), as I said earlier lots of bands play tracks faster live than the recorded version, it's called adrenalin

    after hearing the Dickies version of paranoid the Sabbath one always sounds a bit ploddy to me (and definitely Nights in White Satin)

    the internet has completely changed the face of retailing, Maplin and Toy R us are the latest victims, even Newsagents (I used to own one) are nearly all gone, around where I live anyway, who has a newspaper delivered these days?newspaper circulation is falling of a cliff

    because they can't resist showing off, it's the same reason most of us get up on a stage if we're being honest otherwise we'd just be happy rehearsing all the time (nothing wrong with that, some people are), but they really should resist the temptation, if the customer is a beginner they just intimidate them, if they're experienced they just think what a silly billy
  17. PaulWarning
    all good answer I just don't think about at the time, didn't buy the guitar btw
  18. PaulWarning
    I'm not that comfortable to be honest, they're usually run by some muso, who stands there taking sharp intakes of breath, the last time I went in one to try out an acoustic guitar I played 'That's Entertainment' and was told I was doing it in the wrong Key!
  19. PaulWarning
    Never heard a fingerstyle player play Motorhead very well, but yeah I know what you mean, with a bit of EQ fiddling both styles will usually do the job
  20. PaulWarning
    or half the watts if they're Trace Elliot, sorry just got back from the pub, the point is manufacturers measure watts in different ways and, IMO, for some reason Class D watts just don't seem as loud, maybe class A/B amps compress the signal, but not as much as valve amps but more than class D amps?
  21. PaulWarning
    I suppose it depends why you're in a band and what type of band, personally I wouldn't be happy playing stuff I don't like, and wouldn't really expect anybody else too, but we're all different. As for getting paid, yes you're more likely too if you're just a hired hand but not necessarily so, I know an originals band that is run by the singer/songwriter and they hardly ever get paid for gigs
  22. PaulWarning
    every member of our band has a veto, if they really don't want to do a song we don't do it, of course it relies on people not over using it
  23. PaulWarning
    when you here live versions of well known songs I've found they're almost always faster than the original recordings
  24. PaulWarning
    I'd much rather play with a drummer that speeds up than slows down
  25. PaulWarning
    I think you'll find that every older generation has said more or less the same thing about 'modern' music, remember the Rolling Stones and the Sex pistols being labelled as a bad influence on Kids? I don't like a lot of modern stuff especially rap, but I avoid saying it's rubbish, it's just not my cup of tea
