RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE

[quote name='Adrenochrome' post='669774' date='Nov 30 2009, 09:25 AM']I saw various bands when I was growing up at festivals, bike rallies etc. I think the first name band that I was aware of was Slade at a daytime roadshow gig in about '82 but they mimed and I was dissapointed. I had a ticket for a Cult gig in 85 that was cancelled, so I guess the first big gig I went to without adult supervision was Dio with Warlock in support in 87. Both bands were great for different reasons.[/quote] Yeah,I saw Dio and Warlock .Hammy odeon tho'. Really good gig. Apart from being a real stunner,I think that Doro is my fave female singer

That was good

[quote name='pietruszka' post='668189' date='Nov 28 2009, 12:40 PM']Is it the plywood rack mount one? If it is, it should let the head 'breath' as you put it. I suppose they wouldnt make them if they were'nt suitable. Plus, theyre really protective! You cant go wrong with it! I have the padded case which is excllent, obviously you cant leave it in the case when using it but it does the job well to transport it. Hope this helps. Dan[/quote] Thanks Dan. Think I'll get one .

[quote name='Clarky' post='668193' date='Nov 28 2009, 12:44 PM']I had one a year or two back when I had an AG500. It looks great, is very protective and has no obstruction for the venting. The only thing is - as it is open front and back - it doesn't completely surround the head (unlike a rack case with removable ends) so if you are carrying it in the rain between car and venue door you will need to drape something over it to keep it dry. Otherwise highly recommended, if a little pricey[/quote] Yeah,its an Ag 500sc I have. I notice that the head is not properly protected,and a little pricey. I'd probably use a carrier bag between car and venue. to protect it. I 'm gonna get a tweed one . The main concern was the ventilation. And of course ,it makes things easier if I can just leave head in cab ,play and take home without putting it in an out of case. Cheers

First gig? Girl/Quartz/Praying mantis(not in that order) Sept '79 music machine(now koko) 1st gig as a fan(ie I went because I was a fan) AC/DC Highway to hell tour with Def Leppard Nov'79 Hammy o

[quote name='MacDaddy' post='668341' date='Nov 28 2009, 03:06 PM']Monsters of Rock 1988 Helloween Megadeth Guns n Roses David Lee Roth Kiss Iron Maiden still have the tee shirt.[/quote] I was there.Never forget the stampede when Guns came on,seriously dangerous. I was wondering why Megadeth were so bad,but Mr.Mustaine nearly died afterwards apparently. I was a fan of Helloween,but I wasn't too impressed with them there. The rest were good,and Maiden played a blinder

I remember seeing this lot ,on the 'crazy Tights' tour at wembley. There was a post strike(no internet in those days).Lots of empty seats. They were appalling,and were going through the motions at best. They couldn't wait to get off ,and we just thought 'good riddance'. Paul Stanley was so irritatating, touching his hair as if he just washed it. Saw them at the Monsters of rock ,Donington/Cologne the same year , and they were much better.

....or useless. I was considering getting one of these,but I don't know if there is any room for my Aggie head to' breathe' . So, should I get one,or leave it??

What about the headcases, are they any good anybody??

If you love it,and are willing to spend another £200.00 approx, you could try S.I.M.S or the like. Or get loads of stickers

Shame , hopefully the locals could make the place rat infested and get the place back to a music venue.

Haven't used them yet,but it's nice to know that there is great customer service alive and kicking

That's a girl's drink that is

[quote name='chris_b' post='664588' date='Nov 25 2009, 12:46 AM']Guys, check out the trolleys at B&Q, Homebase, etc.[/quote] Thanks CB will do

[quote name='warwickhunt' post='664379' date='Nov 24 2009, 09:38 PM']Loads of places will supply casters BUT if you are fitting them to the base of the cab have you considered how far you would have to bend down to push it? I'm looking for a sack trolley to put mine onto.[/quote] Cheers for the quick reply Warwick Yeah,forgot about that. If I was the size of Ronnie Dio ,or even corbett castors would have been better. Think you're right about the trolley. A while back, a nice BC sent me a link to a good one. Then , my computer had problems making me lose everything..........

I'd rather get a Dean Taxi bass....more cheerful, less cluttered

A couple of things have been nagging me lately. (I don't have a wife) I was wondering ,regarding the DB112 Cabinet whether I could get some castors for it. If so, where? (Those narrow prison like spaces in practice rooms are getting to me) Regarding the Head, are those 'Head Cases' of any use? Can the amp breathe? If so, I would like to get a Tweed one. Please advise Cheers

I met Cliff once,and I asked him about the effects I should buy. 'Get a phaser' was his reply

Nice....... I was after a GK setup a while ago. If the Aguilar never came up,I would've probably got something like that

For that price, go for Hohner jack . Or you may get a Washburn Status off ebay for around £250.00 max. I forgot, the Washburn may not be 'punk' : enough

Get a Fender Mustang?

Thanks Chaps I'll stick tomy Aguilar after all . I'd be mad to sell it . I wouldn't let anybody else use it. You can probaly see from my sig, that I have enough to be getting on with I was contemplating , selling 1 or 2 effects ,but after your input I think I'll keep'em for now. Cheers

Wow! A white hamburger bass...une rareo Love the Telecaster basses. That green refin looks lovely ,tho'slightly overpriced. I see they have a full bodied Hamburger bass(same as mine).Price isn't too bad. Wish the value of the Euro was the same as 2 years ago
