  1. well Im lucky enough to own an 82 JV squier which in its day was a budget alternative to the fender. The fact that these have become a bit collectable probably tells you all you need to know about the squier brand and their quality control. I know theres a few dogs out there (like fenders) but by and large they're quality kit on a shoestring budget.
  2. he's in Newton Abbot (Devon) next Friday (the 8th Nov), £12!! Cant wait! Just learnt hit me with your rhythm stick - well impressed!
  3. well perhaps, but i was more than happy to let her have a quick fiddle on the thunderstick even if she was crap.
  4. So i splashed out on one of those 2i2 scarletts on here 2nd hand £75 it works great but, and its a big but, does not like my old PC, (100 quid second hand windows XP), so make sure you're running a decent laptop/PC/Mac etc. [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/218012-best-audio-interface-2nd-hand-for-under-l100/page__fromsearch__1"]http://basschat.co.uk/topic/218012-best-audio-interface-2nd-hand-for-under-l100/page__fromsearch__1[/url]

  7. Did I mention the limiter? Ooops forgot that bit, that went off at the sound check which prompted panic from the (2 weeks new landlady), re routed the mains to under the dartboard, covered the mic input with gaffa tape and put the band banner over the green/yellow/red strength indicator, christ, what a night.
  8. Oh I forgot to mention, the manager (ess) came up afterwards and said the feedback from the regulars was very positive and they would like to book us again???
  9. T'was better when we sent the little scamps up chimmneys TBH, I know I would appreciate a little less screeching and bickering around my house.
  10. So at last nights gig at a particularly sh*te pub, there's these 2 rather lovely very skinny but generously upfronted (?) girls, very drunk, dancing when one goes up to the guitarist/singer and shouts mid way through a song (like they always do) if she can sing. He smiles and shakes his head, so she moves on to the drummer and yells if she can have a go on the sticks. He shakes his head, she takes one look at yours truly and just walks away... charming. The girlfriend of said guitard then throws a punch at skinny girl and all hell breaks loose, guitarist amp dies and we set of the smoke alarm with the new haze machine, all for £60 each in a storm. Rock n Roll.
  11. youve got me watching loads of isolated bass tracks, excellent! [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=80dsyo2Ox-0"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=80dsyo2Ox-0[/url]
  12. 250 euros per day seems fair as its going to publication, your travel and accommodation expenses are immaterial. 10am to 7pm is a long day. Im a humble painter and decorator in my other life and that pays 150 euros (in pounds) per day so as a professional musician/ sound engineer with a degree? Charge 250..
  13. [url="http://www.thecadence.co.uk/"]http://www.thecadence.co.uk/[/url] Based in Devon , bass player founded judas priest, but don't hold that against them, they're fab!

  15. Ive heard this stuff is good but only seems available in the US, unless anyone knows better? Is there another long lasting for or haze fluid anyone could recommend?
  16. im completely in love, if she had a willy i think i would probably emigrate.
  17. bekoz i iz shifased at 3 in the mornin to b honests.....
  18. ordered some status hotwire flats on thursday night because of this thread, 40 60 80 100's. Arrived Sat morning, played them tonight (Sat) at the gig, very impressed all round. Not clangy but not dead, nice and light but punchy.
  19. [quote name='bassmachine2112' timestamp='1381559772' post='2240596'] Slightly longer than 10 minutes but strings direct will get you the new string sound quickly. I ordered a couple of sets of their strings on friday afternoon and[b] got knocked up by the postman[/b] on saturday morning New string sound [/quote]
  20. [quote name='Mr. Foxen' timestamp='1381164769' post='2235244'] I've been put through to the design engineer when I called Ashdown (Dave Green), someone less used to dealing with gruff Northern amp engineers might be less than impressed with his customer handling skills. Stuff like 'Who the f*ck" gave you my number?' will do that. [/quote]
  21. Dont suppose you're thinking of taking a small trip to devon in the near future are you?
  22. Hey Guys, i didnt want to start a war! Im happy to admit I wrecked the driver, as alex guessed, I play in a stupid loud band but i did think that 2 x 400W drivers into a 700W cab would be fine, obviously I wasnt aware of quite how important it was to get the cab measurements correct, I just thought the worst that could happen was that it might sound Sh*t rather than destroy (the good) one. Hopefully the guys at Blue Aran might take some of this discussion on board and put up a advisory. No falling out here! Don't want to get booted out by the mods!
