No power to building, no problem with loud rap music.Also no power to their A/C, and it was the middle of July in Oklahoma - we're talking high 90s - low 100s and very humid.When I left for work that morning at 7am, I made sure nobody saw me and I turned the power back on in case I had to do it again that night. Didn't want maintenance to figure it out and replace the missing lock on the switch (it was a huge blade switch to the side of the mains.)It was still off, none of the Rap Geniuses figured it out. Strangely enough, there were no more loud parties at that apartment.Pete Well done! I'm starting to have the same problem in my building. My neighbors above sure like their music, sometimes at all hours. Thing is, I've got my 1300W PA system sitting in my living room, and have warned my super that if these idiots continue disturbing everyone, well I'm gonna play some music of my own.

Members Marc Roy Posted October 29, 2006 Members Share Posted October 29, 2006 Originally posted by rememberduane It will. I'm thinking about another Z. We'll have to see if I can swing the cash. If I can, it'll probably be a Mazerati 1x12 w/ an AirBrake (for the dorm and jamming with my pianist friend). The biggest problem is UK voltage. I can't lug this damn step-down converter I have all over the place. Who knows. I may end up with a 50w Bass Plexi clone by Ceriatone, or a DC-30 clone. Either way, I realized I need a more mid-heavy amp again. The thing which floored me about the Z was the clean tone and headroom (not to mention that gorgeous reverb). Can't wait to see how it takes my OD pedals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't wait to see how it takes my OD pedals. Yeah, the Doc did an AMAZING job with that verb, and the clean tone and headroom are amazing. When I DID crank the amp, it had this really unique three dimensional quality to the breakup. Almost an acoustic, woody quality. That's how I love my amps though... JUST getting a bit of breakup, so that it can be clean to a tiny bit of crunch based on my pick attack and volume knob, then hit them with a great OD for different overdrives. I can't imagine better amps than Dr. Zs for that. The bastards are LOUD too . It's because of those giant trannies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The next time it happens in the middle of the night, I'm probably going to call the cops and just tell them that my dorm security isn't doing anything about it and I can't sleep or study.

I'd check your municipal bylaws if that doesn't work. Even though you're in a dorm, they should still apply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members KoaFreak Posted October 29, 2006 Members Share Posted October 29, 2006 My neighborhood has a strict Home Owner's Assoc., so anything really disturbing wouldn't be allowed. Thankfully, my basement is mostly surrounded by earth and has thick concrete walls, so I can get away with jammin very loud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Flametal Posted October 29, 2006 Members Share Posted October 29, 2006 Originally posted by rememberduane I'm living in a dorm, and the guy above me needs to be thrown from his third floor window. He plays horrible reggae/rap/dance music so loud that even with my windows closed, I can hear the highs completely clearly, not to mention the bass from his subs just shaking my ceiling. This would be "acceptable" if it were in the day, as I'm a pretty easygoing guy, but its like.. he never sleeps. It comes on at like 3 am, 5 am, 7 am. The other people on my floor and I have asked him several times to turn it down, even called security on him. He just turns it down for a little while then it goes right back up. To add to all of this, the kid thinks he's the next Jack Johnson but sounds more like an early-round American Idol reject. He cannot sing... at all. He is horrible on guitar, and sings out of key with it. At around midnight. For hours. Is murder acceptable? Can I say temporary insanity? Self defence (I thought I'd die from lack of sleep)? Oh my {censored}ing god, I want to shoot him, he just turned on a really horrible Black Eyed Peas song. :mad: :mad: I had a simular situation with a dude throwing parties every night when I was in a dorm. I usually did not mind but when I had to wake up early to do work and get to practice. I could enver sleep so I got my singer at the time who was a big skinhead looking fellow (not in the racist way) to give a knock on his door, bitching about how his guitar player can't {censored}ing sleep and thus practice. Never had problems again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I come back, I am going to aim that {censored} straight up and put all knobs on 10 and rock out some Zep or something. that is the correct answer actually.

You might be onto something. Roll it out to his door, crank it with some gain behind it, hit an A chord and wake him up when he's sleeping.

Members noseminer Posted October 30, 2006 Members Share Posted October 30, 2006 I lived in a quad where my quadmates listened to the latin reggae rap crap, but this guy wouldnt turn it off when he left his room. He also was one of these guys that would go out clubbing every weekend, sometimes on the week days. He would spend from 6pm to 12 am in the shared bathroom (between us and his room) preparing for the club, shaving his ballz and stuff (i know this because every time you hear buuuzzzzzzzzz flush) and i doubt he was cutting his hair over the toilet. He also decided to start up a buisness where he would cut other people's hair in our shared bathroom, but wouldnt clean up the hair for like 2 days so it was just on the ground. Since the bathroom was always blocked my roomate and i got in the habbit of pissing out the window in his rooms direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
