Members Fender&EHX4ever Posted August 15, 2009 Members Share Posted August 15, 2009 very good! reminds me of Sponge, or the dudes that sing "closing time". great vocals!Thanks, goodhonk I'm not familiar with Sponge yet, but our keyboardist loves the song "Closing Time." I hear the similarity, though we pre-date Semisonics by a decade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear the similarity, though we pre-date Semisonics by a decade that's what i was thinking; wasn't that song out in '98? maybe it's not Sponge, it's the dudes that sing "sixteen candles down the drain", they had a couple of other hits too, probably around '94-'97. edit: it is sponge; they sing "wax ecstatic" and "molly (sixteen candles)" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members orange worker Posted August 15, 2009 Members Share Posted August 15, 2009 16 candles is by sponge. Rotting Pinata and New Pop Sunday have some great tunes on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members monty4 Posted August 15, 2009 Members Share Posted August 15, 2009 In a band and a side project, plus my solo stuff. The band board is pretty basic, solo stuff because its done at home has alot more pedal action. All are pretty much budget, meaning not bootique.

Members TheBumRush Posted August 15, 2009 Members Share Posted August 15, 2009 I'm in a band. I own zero boutique or hand-built pedals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members griffstar Posted August 15, 2009 Members Share Posted August 15, 2009 I play in a band, as well as do some solo stuff on the side. Live I mainly use an Epi SG Jr, Riviera P93, and a double neck through a Marshall TSL122 with a Vox wah, HOG, TU-2, trem, Script Phase90, Murf, 2 DL4's, a Seymour Duncan boost and LPB. I've got a couple of shelves of other pedals, some other guitars and amps also that I like to use in my studio. Most of which wasn't very expensive. Check the sig if you want to hear the band.

Members who235 Posted August 15, 2009 Members Share Posted August 15, 2009 I'm in one band that actually gigs, and I {censored} around with other people once in awhile or on my own. The band I'm in plays originals, mostly garage/punk type stuff. We just like to get drunk and rock. My normal rig includes The Fender Ratocaster (partscaster) or Ibanez Jet King 4 > dirt and fuzz and delay > Peavey Delta Blues 1x15. I try to rock on the cheap whenever possible. When I get expensive {censored}, I just get paranoid that I'll piss on it or spill beer or blood on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members KoskineN Posted August 15, 2009 Members Share Posted August 15, 2009 I currently play in two bands. Lots of fun with these guys! We play gigs from time to time, but we are all quite busy with our jobs and family. I have about 12k$ worth of gears, most of it my my sig.

Members christianatl Posted August 15, 2009 Members Share Posted August 15, 2009 In a band. Gig regularly. Getting ready to tour 4 realz. No pics of the guitars I use in the band, but they are: '52 MIM Fender Esquire reissue and a '90s Fender Tele. Most recent board: Loop One: Fulltone '70, ZVEX Mastotron, Fuzzhugger (fx) Algal Bloom, Xotic Effects AC Booster, Dunlop QZone, Boss SD-1, Boss TU-2. Loop Two: Barber Trifecta, green Russian Muff, SD Pickup Booster. Amps (please refrain from the tape over logos comments/questions. We've already been through that): Traded the 800 for a 100 watt Super Lead Reissue, so now it's a late 60s 100 watt Marshall Super Lead into a Marshall 1960 B, and the reissue into a Marshall 1960 B.

Members juice Posted August 15, 2009 Members Share Posted August 15, 2009 In a "band" I guess you can say (church), maybe another soon. Currently play about 3 weekends out of the month. Gear is kinda changing up at the moment, but it for the most part has been Jazzmaster into Vox AC15HTV1 and a medium sized pedalboard with stuff that would make me fit in better at TGP.

Members jlantsberger Posted August 15, 2009 Members Share Posted August 15, 2009 Seems a lot of us are in bands after all, and some with pretty expensive gear. I'm in two bands, organ in one and guitar in the other. One gigs, the other is a bit too new to be at gigging levels yet and is more relaxed, so I'm not sure whether we'll get to the point of playing shows any time soon. Organ setup: Farfisa Compact Deluxe (for sale, btw :poke:) > pedal board > Ampeg VT-22 Guitar: RI Tele Deluxe or DOT > pedal board > Peavey Rag right now, Ampeg GII when I can afford to fix it. Pedal board is the same for both bands for ease of practice, though I only use volume/fuzz/DMM for organ. The signal is: Hendrix Crybaby > EB Volume Pedal > TU-2 > IC Muff > DMM > FX-90 Stuff that stays home: 91 RI RAT (used it in my last band, never know when I'll need to use OD again), Red Witch Fuzz God II (funny enough, my one boutique pedal doesn't get gigged).

Members Josh S Posted August 15, 2009 Members Share Posted August 15, 2009 I play in a band, and have for years - but I think it's a generalization to say that all people playing in bands have cheaper gear than bedroom heroes. I'd say, au contraire! Sure, if you're in a garage rock or a punk band or something, yes, you'll have cheaper gear... But for me, playing solid professional gigs - well, I've got a lot of stuff. If I were to add up the cost of my gig rig (JUST what I bring to every gig), it would break down like so: Pedals: approximately $1900 Pedalboards: $1000 (including switcher) Power supplies: $400 Cables: $600 Amps: $2500 Keyboards: $600 Guitars: $5260 Total cost of just my own personal gear to each and every gig? over $10,000. ...That's not cheap gigging ha ha Especially when you factor in the bassist/acoustic guitar, the 2nd guitarist, the keyboard player and the drummer, sax, and backup singers... And my trucks, etc, for getting there Organ setup: Farfisa Compact Deluxe YES! That's what I have too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I have too Yeah, I just wanted to see how many of us were actually gigging; didn't really mean to offend anyone who owned expensive gear and wasn't in a band. I think the majority of us do use our gear in live situations, rather than just let it sit in our bedrooms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
