I've recently got into a new band. Had a couple of false starts getting to this band. It's all been a mix of word of mouth, social media and sites like JoinMyBand. Use them all. They all have mixed results. The only route that has never been successful for me have been jam and open mic nights.

We had a very good practice last night. Part of last night was getting our sound and mix sorted. And without much effort it was very good. Especially when none of us have much experience or have dealt with that end of things. We're a new band and have our first gig in a few weeks. We went through the songs we have and they sounded really good. One of the new ones to the list, played it first time, it sounded like we'd been playing it for months. Very happy all round. Can't wait to hear the recording the drummer made.

Just scanning over a limited discography of her work, it's phenomenal. She has been overlooked for far too long.

I've never heard that expression before. I may, if you OK with it, start using it myself. 🙂 There's nothing unique, special or stand out about the band I'm in currently. If you were to put the set list in front of me and say do you wany to go and see this band I'd say, "not really". Most of the set is material that has been done a million times over.

They seemed to start out as a second hand/recycling guitar shop. A few years ago they moved into Mansons old shop in Exeter. However, it seems that the shop has been cleared and remains closed of now. There seems to be mixed opinions about the shop and its owners and business practices from comments on social media. Anyway, that's another guitar shop gone.

Thank you 🙂

Just a quickie 😁 Could I send out a monitor mix from my mixer using the control room connection?

It's seems to be a brand that's disappeared from the UK. I couldn't find anywhere really stocking them.

I thought it was all about heft. 😁

I really like the look of the Omen series and Stiletto. I've only seen one Schecter in the 'flesh', an Omen Extreme 4. The build quality was very impressive. They look better than the equivalent priced Yamaha TRBX504 however, I prefer the controls on the Yamaha (a mid frequency control and passive/active switch). That said if I were to be looking at buying a 5 string, the Schecters would be on the list of possibles.

I've not been very active on here for a number of years so didn't know Sam. However, I've just read the depression thread and it's heart breaking. Whatever the cause of her passing to be that unwell mentally is awful and must have been terrifying for her. It's very upsetting. Rest in peace Sam

Good to see you again @Bilbo

There only a handful of Who songs I like so I'm in no way a fan. Daltrey always comes across as utterly ignorant and rather unpleasant to me. So it'd no surprise if this fall out is as a result of Roger tantrum.

I'm completely out now. I bought a power supply for my pedal board that I'd bought recently. 😁
