Bwhaha! Allkinds... Well shit has happened to my drunken metalbands too. :D Regular 3-band set, we were playing last, during the second band, our drunk guitarist climed to the stage to mosh with the performers, a couple of drunken headspins later he takes a step forward... Right off the stage...

Allright, I can seriously relate to your point about the cash. Valid point there. OK, we're promised usually a cut of the ticket-sale, but after paying the techs and PA rent, that's usually a hundred bucks or so per band... (Usually three bands per night, usually some gig-booker-shmuck taking...

Wtf??... that's one messed up dude or one big stage! :D

Yes... The "hostile" clientele is derived from the main event, they are a "longterm" local biker/sleaze-rock outfit, the bar is a rock-bar named Nevada. We're rockish, but nonetheless, a blackmetal band.:rolleyes: We released an EP some time ago, and requests to gig have come from metal-bars...

This is a dilemma for me... believe it. The "scene" here is this; There's a plethora of metalbands around here, all doing gigs for a meal and a couple of beers, just to get on the stage to be seen. Not effective, done it for a couple of years, nothing changes. It gets on your wallet and nerves...

Please, someone sell me a Tube Midget head, I'm begging you. :cool:

That, my man, implies that there is something not up to par with the recording technique. Find the sweet spot from the grille with your mic. Get an other mic, and find the sweet spot from about 3 feet away. Then mix these to taste. In my experience, cabs sometimes sound better when miced from a...

I thought you couldn't do that?.. That if both are plugged the low-input overrides the high..? Yes, I'm not going to starve my girl or the kid. :D I've done overtime, and some money fell to my hands. ...I'm not that sure Tube midgets ever get sensible prices around here. It's 550 euros, not...

Aaaarrrggghh!! The Tube midget from France I've been looking for would cost me nearly 800 EUROS with shipping... I have a pregnant girlfriend.. Someone PLEASE convince me that it won't be worth it!!:( ...Or I'll buy it, convinced it sounds good, and I can't get it for less in Europe. A JCM800...

Haha! "I like the noise!" Rayc has taken too much coffee.:) Thanks for them replies! The distortion increased tenfold going through Izotope Ozones middle-push-master-plugin, or something I threw in there to get some volume. It's actually recorded DI through a mesa V-twin with gain just above...

Hi!! I've been jonesing for a high-gain Sovtek for months, ever since I bought my mig-30.:o But Sovteks are VERY rare around here.... They shipped them all to U.S.:p Now I finally have a shot for a Sovtek mig-50H, from France, But the price is high, could get a JCM800 for the money...:(...

Hello. I decided to throw this one here since it's been ages since I posted here. I now play bass in a frequently gigging band and guitar in a band starting out, not much time for home-recordings.:( (plus a daytime job...) I also lost a good setup of drums, orchestra and choirs and whatnot, as...

Hmmm.... I'm probably gonna get a good spanking for this... but hell, everyone needs one once in a while!:rolleyes: I for one have never oiled or watered or moistured anything in my basses/guitars. Never have anything cracked, splintered or dislocated. Now... people go to lengths finding...

Whatever. I bought a Sovtek Mig tube amp with less money than the latest POD. Couldn't be happier!!:D Now, I'm going to build something for myself... Wanna take a guess between a Tube amplifier or a modeler?

Awesome thing to possess. Even though I've got decent enough gear and all the soundmen on gigs have their own DI-boxes... It never leaves my basses hardcase. I'm kicking myself right now since I didn't thought of it recently when doing some recording..:o Oh, on a couple of gigs the soundmans...

Hmmmm..... It did get very straight. Maybe a slight bow would've been better. The thing is, that the nut in the truss rod was VERY loose, I had to tighten a couple of twists before I felt that it was tensioned at all. After that, I twisted maybe less than a half a turn, checked after five days...

So, lowering the pickups and slightly lifting the strings should help. That was what I thought. Thanks for the assuring. :D

Hi! I recently tightened the neck-rod of my Studio baritone, since the 0.14 gauge strings had slightly curved the neck. The neck straightened OK, and the strings/action got lower and easier to play, some marginal buzzing.. I'm going to raise the action a tad. But as the neck straightened and...

Coolest thing, ever. Damn! http://www.amtelectronics.com/upload/shop_1/item_catalog_73/shop_items_catalog_image73.jpg Rambled through the interwebs and heard clips somewhere too, pretty convincing high-gain. :D Mailed them, asked more info about the structure. It's shipped abroad with 2x12ax7...

A simple volume pedal??
