Hi Gibsender
The guitar is a Fret King Elise (Black Label) Trev Wilkinsons brand. I have a perfectly good Mexican Strat that I now never use. I just love playing this Fret King.

Thanks for the nice comments. the guys in the band wanted authentic when I joined them.
I tried to join a second band recently doing more up to date covers. When they saw these videos they said they didn't need me No imagination some people !

Cheers,
Paul

Hi Paul

Thanks for the info on the guitar, will check one out.

With regard to the other band, their loss.

I have been in bands playing everything from country and western to Foo Fighters and Killers etc..

I have been a bass player and lead vocalist, strummy rhythm player, Lead guitar (in current band) and drummer. Mix all this and you get a wealth of background to pull stuff from, so the fact your are in a 60's band now doesnt mean you cant play anything else and guitarists should be respected if they cover many genres

My band,http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2xs2q9fW ... detailpage The Bones does covers from 50's to 2013 and thats what people want us to do. We love it so its good alraound - and that is what is important. Enjoy what you play regardless of what it is then you will spread the good vibes to others.

Cheers

Couldn't reply before because the forum went down.

Thats a great mix of songs there. Looks like the crowd were loving it. I have played (or murdered depending on who you talk to) quite a few of the older songs in my past and it brought back happy memories.

I have the extension cab to go with Soloist but haven't used it live yet. I'll let you know when I have how it alters things. On the HT40 everything seemed to get muddy.

Will be very interested in how you get on with the extra cab. I have played some sizeable gigs and the soloist handles quite well although i wonder if it is too directional and if a second speaker might help... But then again, i might just get deafened in both ears .

Seriously though, please report back.

I have put my gear on the competition thread if you want to see my simple setup.

Cheers for now

If I could make my purchase all over again I would just get the 60w version to give me more headroom but I would stay with Blackstar. download apps streaming apps
