11 and I can't read at all....so 11/15 with mostly guesswork!

We do a lot of our writing by jamming. Someone might have a phrase or line, play it and the rest of us will join in then somebody else might have an idea for a bridge or a chorus and we'll build a song from there.

I use D'Addario Half Rounds....the zing of rounds with the feel of flats which can also sound like flats

Money by Pink Floyd.....all the talk of it being 7/8 in parts and 4/4 in others kinda put me off trying it....but it's piss easy....shame my drummer can't count.

I had my GB STL 9.2 stolen I now use a TecAmp Puma 900 (tiny and VERY light) with my Barefaced cabs (S12T sometimes SuperMidgetGen3 other times) - It sounds awesome! I like it more than tI liked the Genz

I was burgled on Friday in Dunstable Beds The theiving scum targeted my car, a Toyota GT86 reg GT14 NGT. On their way out the lifted my Gig Skinz bag containing a Genz Benz Shuttle 9.2 head, a 4 way mains plug, a kettle lead and a speakon cable. And the charging cable for my John East preamp (!!!) if anyone is offered a cheap GB 9.2 it could be mine - serial number 12003713

After our successful visit to The Lexington last Sunday we'll be playing at Rock City in Valencia on Saturday 22nd November

The Lexington N1 last night. Sold out Launched a book managed to sell 30 copies I think out drummer may have had too much espresso before going on - next stop valencia Rock City [media]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PD1aHKiCVx8[/media]

[quote name='molan' timestamp='1412686133' post='2571008'] I remember Alex recommending the Carvin B2000 head to go with his cabs [/quote] in the old Brighton factory I saw they used a GB Shuttle6 for testing

They both do the job. I just had an email from Alex about my post. When i first got the midget I accidently had a -15dB switch on one of my pedals and couldn't get any volume out of the midget. Now (having restored the input level cut - DOH!) on my shuttle9.2 with pre amp set gain 9 oclock Vol 3 oclock, to achieve simlar volumes the output is set 11oclock for the S12T and 3oclock on the super midget. This is the volume we rehearse at with a loud kit and loud guitar. I think that that tells me you need a lot of oomph to drive the midget. Admittedly the S12T is a 4ohm cab and the midget an 8 ohm - I'd expect to have to crank the head to achieve similar results but this is a powerful head and 3 oclock is a long way round the dial i have rehearsed with both cabs this week as we have a gig on Sunday (first in UK for 3 years!) and I was undecided which cab to take - so proper a/b testing done. The S12T gets the gig - the sound is richer and fuller than the midget. The midget is stilll very new and probably needs breaking in a little more. Having said all that I just want to point out that both cabs sound great to my ears. I wouldn't say i'm a barefaced fanboi, like some, but I liked the product so much I've bought 2 now..... I would be interested to discover how a double super midget rig sounds compared to my S12T - that would be interesting - any super midget owners wanna lend me one for an a/b back to back test?

Miidgets need a LOT of watts.well my new super midget does... I recently got a super midget so i could go to rehearsals in my GT86! What an extravagence. My GB Shuttle9.2 has to be cranked much higher to get the volume I get from my S12T. I fear if i'd had anything with fewer watts than the 9.2 (500W @ 8ohm) then the super midget would not achieve required volume

this Sunday

Not long now....

[quote name='Dad3353' timestamp='1412009913' post='2564832'] [size=4]We had a HA3500 for a while - it was great. Only reason we replaced it was because we got a Hiwatt DR205, which is heavy and cumbersome to carry around..! We still have the Hartke as a spare, of course. It's our 'lightweight' option. [/size] [/quote] Mine was in a wooden box.....compared to my Genz Benz Shuttle 9.2 it was big, heavy and awkward to carry!

I don't know any hartke haters. I had a HA3500 for a while - it was great. Only reason i replaced it was because it was so heavy and cumbersome to carry around.

d'Addario half rounds are the way to go - feel of flats but brighter

not hard to tell which is which by looking at which is being played, is it?

Depends on the venue, the acoustics on stage, the supporting PA, if any.....too many variables to comment really.

just seen this thread - do I have time to do one?

[quote name='tedmanzie' timestamp='1388948220' post='2328009'], as the Squier brand now is [snip] associated with cheapness! [/quote] Hasn't that ALWAYS been the case?

[quote name='Dolando' timestamp='1388964955' post='2328319'] One other thing, when intonating it, I had to take the saddles as far back as they would go to get it intonation right. Am I doing something wrong, or is this normal for a 35" scale? [/quote] it's fretless - what difference would it make?
