First Gig (Edinburgh)

Will have a watch later, well done on popping your cherry.

told you about too many pedals didn't I ?

thomasross20 · December 2014

God yeah... I like it simple! Guess I'll try and get used to it. I like the fact I have some redundancy in there if one or other of the pedals goes. Only thing I'm missing in terms of redundancy now is a spare guitar head.

Spare Head more important than spare pedals tbh.

thomasross20 · December 2014

The more I look at head and cab (and it'd be so much lighter) the more I realise there are more compromises to be made there than my current combo situation. Might stick with what I have for now - will see (really don't want to have to lol). As for spare head... I'll trawl back through old posts to see the recommendations!

I'm glad to have the Blackstar footswitch as if my pedal-board in-built PSU blows, I can rely on the Blackstar.

What a great city for live music. Have fun dude!

Yeah, I also thought the bass was too low. Unfortunately he used the house amp and when turned up started to make funny noises - lesson learned for future - use your own gear!

I try to use house amps as well, particularly when I'm playing bass, but that one was just not up to the job. Reminds me of when I went somewhere I was told there was a bass amp, and it turned out to be an ancient Carlsbro 60W 1x12"… I took one look at it and realised it would probably die in the first song if I put my usual bass sound through it! Luckily a couple of phone calls turned up a 200W Trace Elliot 4x10" a couple of streets away that I was able to borrow.

Haha, man with connections!

I love Edinburgh, but I keep hearing Glasgow is the best for music. We'll see!

thomasross20 · December 2014

Yep!!

Guys, I also put "Eye of the Tiger" on my Google Drive:

Sound's not great but it was done on a phone (guitar sounded a lot better in person)!

That's the business! Mind, you've got more 'move room' than I've usually got.

thomasross20 · December 2014

Really? I felt pretty confined!
Thanks

thomasross20 · January 2015
