    College Gigs?

    i'll hafta agree on the charity gigs, that's how we got our foot in the door. If you go to a lot of the open mics, there are usually people/activities directors there looking for people to play @ benefits. If you play @ an open mic and they like you, they'll approach you. At least that's what...

    First clinic post

    Thanks for the reply. Could you be more specific on parts that do not seem original or trite? It's funny, b/c that song actually won the originality award at a local Battle of the Bands...i just want to improve as much as possible, so any specific comments would be greatly appreciated.

    Thinking of buying a Vox AD50VT

    bought an ad120vtx a few months ago b/c it was on sale for $799. Although it set me back a few hundred, I never regretted it. And you're right about recording...it can reproduce some of the amp sounds very convincingly, and it's all I use for recording/gigging. The variable wattage is also...

    having problems micing a vox ac15 amp

    Get a Studio Projects B1. I use it with my 57 to mic my vox ad120vtx and it's probably the cheapest, but great sounding LDC you'll find.
