Hey Juan, I'm a big fan of your playing and that vid was great. Any news on a new Mars Volta album?

I've recently bought an Ibanez SB7 and its a great little pedal. I've had no problems with tracking and there are a lot of useable sounds.

I've been messing around with overdrives lately and my weapon of choice is the Marshall Jackhammer - really underrated pedal.

Local muso forums and FB events usually do a good job... if people can be arsed to come. EDIT: But regarding promotion, its the venues job to get the punters in. A local venue near to me thinks the exact opposite. They allow you to play (its quite a big venue which holds around 250 people) but they put up no posters or such advertising the gig. They give you tickets to sell for £4 each and you have to go out to friends/family/etc and sell these tickets and get the money off the punters. Once you've sold the 50 tickets or whatever the minimum is, you go to the venue the night of the gig, give the promoter the money you made selling the tickets and get £1 back for every ticket you've sold - HOW FAIR IS THAT?! And you get about 5 bottles of beer to split between the band... Nowadays when I play there I do either two things: 1. Get the tickets, chuck them in the nearest bin and when the promoter asks how many have you sold say 0. I'm not doing free promotion. 2. Get the tickets, sell the tickets, split the money we make from ticket sales between the band and tell the promoter we sold 0 tickets - this guy is never on the door trying to get punters in (so won't check when people arrive with tickets) and spends all day upstairs in his office.

Go to the BC For Sale section and grab a bargain.

The Boss SYB-3 has some pretty good Muse-alikes, it just takes time finding them sounds...

I have a Digitech Bass Multi Chorus which IMO had the edge over the Boss CEB-3 when I A/B'd them. EDIT: Or a Danelectro Cool Cat Chorus 18V which is a great chorus pedal.

Nobels ODR-1 or (what I'm using atm) Modtone Dyno Drive.

Jesus, no wonder Alex stopped posting... I wouldn't be surprised if Bill went the same way.

I have the MB115 and bought it for small gigs and practice/jam sessions. Really good amp for the money and very, very light! Recommended.
