bassmansam Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 Does anyone know where I can rent dummy guitar/bass amps for a music video? Based in Milton Keynes and video shoot is in Uxbridge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uk_lefty Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 Ask Ashdown? On their site ages ago they were selling some empty 8x10s that had been "used" on the McBusted tour. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NHM Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 isn't it easier to use, er, normal amps and cabs and not switch them on? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulThePlug Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 (edited) Marshall... might have sections of the fake wall for hire... from the looks they are about 6" thick but full height stacks!

We run silent stages so don't own any amps. Normal ones are fine but the rental companies are too far away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They did one on NZ Idol that was cardboard boxes painted black and lit from inside or might have just been cards with 8x10 etc holes and backlit screens. Go wild. It will be more interesting than a bunch of real cabs. You could make quite a wall of doom in cardboard that stores flat and slots together. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guitarist in my last band was a huge Rush fan, and we had to agree to differ. It is not genre-specific. I like what is loosely called Prog Rock. Of course, it also means anything endorsed by "The Great Man" is out of bounds for me. It may be irrational, but there you go. Maybe I should start a ban Jaco campaign and get banned from Basschat?😀 Edited November 4, 2022 by Chienmortbb 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BassmanPaul Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 OP as a musician I know lots of bands. You must too. Can you not talk to some of them and set up a get together/party to record the video? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It works for their material. He's no slouch. I saw a video of him playing 'Roundabout' with 'Yes'. Not everyone can play like Chris did. Geddy nailed it, including the tone.
