well you know Another 2x12 would never hurt.

Sure I can order cloth. You should think of other things you might need 2

Not if you ask TB, the added impedance from the second cab could bring down the efficiency of your entire rig causing you to actually lose volume, because you know your mixing speaker sizes n what not....

I all ready have a list Mainly neutrik cable connectors and other little things.

I just live in a place with a very lacking music scene. There are like 5 clubs in the 3 whole surrounding counties that put on proper gigs but they only put on hardcore bands from a very cliquey scene, and all of the pubs/bars only put on blues bands.

I genuinely own one of the loudest rigs for about 100 miles, simply because no one else actually devotes themselves seriously to having good gear. It's awful, watching death metal and hardcore bands go up with 20 watt Marshall MG combos, and kids bopping around like it sounds good, because it DOESN'T. We're so cut off from anything REAL that no one seems to notice and THIS is why I can never start a real band and why my dreams are dying more each day.

Wow thats harsh dude, I seriously feel for you. You need to start brainwashing your friends, make them smoke some herb till they cant think for themselves anymore and shove some doom down their throat convincing them that it will be the ultimate band for you area!!!

Man, even my friends who play wont commit to buying any serious gear. I know a band who toured with MSI for a few shows with some of the worst gear I've ever seen, and had no intention of upgrading.

My mate and I were going to start a band called Dopper (a hilarious word for...), but he wouldn't buy good gear because we would need somewhere to put it and practice with it, and it went around in circles, because he wouldn't chip in for a practice space unless we had the gear to justify doing it. So it never happened.

Me and my girlfriend live together and we're both at uni, and my nan is ill, so I can't move away so easily

Not everyone gets it my friend, especially if they don't take playing music as a serious profession. I grew up around cars where your tools are how you make your money, and if you keep buying cheap shitty tools you spend more money then you end up making because your constantly repairing or buying new cheap tools. I carried that over to my musician skills and believe whole heartedly in it.




P.S. a trade deal has been reached! Incoming: Emperor 2x15, Outgoing: Emperor 2x12

Congrats Ancient!


So I've got a job interview next Friday for a graphic design spot at a University. I'm excited and nervous. It's also for web based stuff which I don't have much of in my portfolio. Going to make a website this week to present to them next Friday along with my print portfolio...

Thanks dude! And congrats to you!!! I wish you the best!

[skullservant]

Thanks man. I'm really nervous.

I'm going to make a wedding website for me and the lady. I want to show diversity in my portfolio and go outside of my comfort zone, while still being able to make something that effectively shows my skills enough to be considered for it. I definitely have enough print experience, I've just never actually put my coding to much use

[black mess]

So what doomy stuff have y'all been listening to?

I listened to Hail Satan, Worship Doom and Monoliths and Dimensions yesterday, as well as skullservant's War Pigs cover. My girlfriend is going to like really long heavy tunes whether she likes it or not
