Re: UPDATED Auckland Gearfest - November 17th
yes indeed I do I reckon with the amps we have we could fill a stadium or empty it I'm thinking 70's more than 80's though but anything thats excessive would be good - so 60's thru to 90's and 30 minute songs... with 3 verses. and 18 people on stage with 2 drummers.
I have been planning this

Re: UPDATED Auckland Gearfest - November 17th
Had a great time yesterday. Thanks all you fullahs.
Loved JVPP's Yamaha bass. Huge GAS for one now! The Radian P-Bass also got my bass juices flowing. If I ever play bass in a band again I'll be heading in one of those two directions I reckon.
Finally got to try BG's Ratty Tweed and compared it to the Rhino. Very similar tones out of the two with the Rhino being a touch brighter maybe?
Capt Black's low watt studio amp is damn cool as well- although it sounded better when he was playing it than me.
Cool day all round, although it would have been nice to have a few more peeps there (Conway- I'm looking at you).

Funny. I'd thought the Jansen with a Celestion Blue was a very bright sounding amp. Sitting between two AC15s, it proved to be quite the opposite.
Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

I'd lean towards emptying... but watching people run for the door would be worth it. I can do 70's and excessiveBG wrote:yes indeed I do I reckon with the amps we have we could fill a stadium or empty it I'm thinking 70's more than 80's though but anything thats excessive would be good - so 60's thru to 90's and 30 minute songs... with 3 verses. and 18 people on stage with 2 drummers.

Yeah, usually I don't like playing other people's basses, but I don't think my got plugged in for anything other than a tune up this time. Both the Yamaha bass and the Radian were superb. As much as I'd love one of the Yamaha basses, opportunities like that don't pop up all that often, so I'm now considering how to wrangle one of ASH's P-Bass pickups into my Jazz.benderissimo wrote:Loved JVPP's Yamaha bass.

Bender's green amp (is that the Rhino? It looks like a surf green fender hotrod to me) sounded awesome, didn't matter what was being played through it. JVPP's little Laney cub amp had an impressive sound for a small package too, and BG's amp sounded great. I didn't use it boosted by the GE7 for long enough (cable fault) but even clean it was luverly.
Plenty of tasty chops on show too... sitting outside listening to DM and Single Coil jamming in the 'loud room' has to be one of the best sounds I've ever heard coming out of a gearfest. Could have been Billy Duffy in there, sounded very Cult.

Quite possibly although I suspect I'll still be working 26 hour days, 8 days a week...Darcy might have a view.benderissimo wrote:Tronfest in Jan?

You don't fluff notes in a jam, you experiment...Capt. Black wrote:DarcyPerry wrote:Looks like a great time had by all. Loud? I could here you guys in Hamilton!
