  1. I haven't studied musical history a whole lot. 1000 years ago the only music here in NZ was the birds singing. What was popular music in 1021 anyway?
  2. Covers band turns into originals band while playing Dog'n'Duck gigs is a well worn path. The better you are as a band the easier it is to pull off. So far you have got to the stage of one hit wonders in your own Dog'n'Duck. I would be voting for churning out more original stuff and inserting the new tunes regularly, but dropping duds like hot rocks. Any cover gig can stand one original per set. Work your butts off to increase the number of your own solid gold hits to two per set. Then you might be getting festival slots.
  3. That's a perennial problem with Dark themes. ''Select All'' will make it readable.
  4. If you can't make a cab sound good with the GP12 you have a real duffer of a cab.
  5. Watts worked fine for me. Easy to see, no decoding required, simple and effective.
  6. The only compressor you will ever need. Bonus EQ balance can give an instant ''Reggaefication'' without changing the overall character too much, and then turn it back for the next number instantly.
  7. Nope. A cab needs several tens of watts at least for a drummer to hear anything. Depending on what is coming from your DI you may even need another preamp to make a signal for ANOTHER AMPLIFIER that feeds your cab.
  8. Exacerry! Never mind the colour, go back and buy it.
  9. I haven't played with the VT but you are right on track. On TB the almost famous Jimmy Miller once did a A/B listening challenge with a VT and a RedDI which is the gold standard for a tube DI. Only 75% could pick the RedDI which is only vaguely better sucess than a 50% wild guess when you consider that the audience are 'expert' qualified bassists.
  10. If the guitar combo works for you then no point in spending up on gear until you need a rig.
  11. Wins the prize.
  12. Clear as mud.
  13. Btw where is the EQ balance control?
  14. What are the new EQ settings?
  15. Good luck with that. Last I heard the chips in the compressor section are all out and no more to be had.
  16. How ever did Mason get before a judge? Do that.
  17. Try Faital or Beyma.
  18. I am quite fond of the DIY heavy cardboard plus duct tape creations. If you do it well enough it will work as a cab stand, maybe not a combo though. Some people use recycled coreflute plastic tenporary sign material.
  19. All this but Punk should also have either a buzz cut or 'lawnmower' cut, no gel.
  20. Be very careful about the replacement amp getting the exact airflow as designed. There's going to be special measures to take away heat from tubes as well as the power amp. It won't be the same inside by a long shot.
  21. So it's a layer of Marmite in a jar of peanut butter on sale, or you misunderstood and tried out a mix yourself in the interests of science?
  22. Amp gimmicks that don't work: Have you tried to read the positions of the knobs on Peavey's 'Trace Elliot' green backlit stuff in the dark? There's a reason Trace put the UV light out front of the green markings, so you could see it in the dark!
  23. Gotcha. So they are rank amateurs. The real pro marketeers would be horsing around.
  24. That looks like it's a jar of peanut butter branded Marmite. Whatever sells I suppose. Next there will be Marmite Honey and Marmite Raspberry Jam next to the Marmite Marmite.
