Members Adrenochrome Posted April 16, 2006 Members Share Posted April 16, 2006 I just use one cab (1x15 usually) with my moderate volume covers band. It works fine and I always have the cab on a table/crates/bar stools to get the sound aimed nearer my head. It's great to only have to transport one not very heavy cab.

Members Emprov Posted April 16, 2006 Members Share Posted April 16, 2006 Originally posted by Thunderbroom I'm about ready to go live! None of the links work. Clean, simple, idiot proof navigation, and the colors work really nicely together, great job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Jazz Ad Posted April 16, 2006 Members Share Posted April 16, 2006 I liked the old one better.This one looks too much like a company site, mostly due to color choice I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Thunderbroom Posted April 16, 2006 Author Members Share Posted April 16, 2006 Good thing I save the old one. I'll have to wait to hear what my bandmates have to say. I took (I think) the advice of some of the web designers on the board in making the changes that I did. I guess it looking corporate doesn't concern me much. I do know that it is plain looking. My goal was for a more colorful site that is easy to navigate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Jazz Ad Posted April 16, 2006 Members Share Posted April 16, 2006 It wouldn't be a problem if you band was "Progressive Spirals" or "Yuppy Schack" but it's YFC. It needs skid rows, empty beer bottles and a rusty Chevy door laying against the wall.Catch my drift ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members One Bad Monkey Posted April 16, 2006 Members Share Posted April 16, 2006 I like the progress from the first one, because while this one does look "corporate," the fact remains that it's still a lot better than your original one. The license plates are a nice touch, however I would've taken it one more step by using a closer license plate font and not had them all sitting straight across. Color is a tough thing. It goes well, but if you found a couple colors in the same family but popped a little more, it would be stronger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members One Bad Monkey Posted April 16, 2006 Members Share Posted April 16, 2006 For a second, I thought you were going to talk about the Foo Fighters tune, "Live in Skin" (although why you'd play it in YFC is beyond me). Killer bassline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Killer bassline. Sorry 'bout that. I realized after our gig last night that I'm gaining confidence in my playing. In the audience last night was the old bass player for the band. In the past, it would have likely bothered me. I played my heart out, nodded to him on several occasions and kept the groove going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the biggest buzz-kill for me is when my old singer would come up and say "Dude, that other band's (insert musician role here) was totally jealous of you/me/our guitarist!" I'm sure they enjoy playing as much as I do, so what's the real point? But, as far as you saying you're feeling better in your bass player skin, WAY TO GO!!! I'm slowly working on that with my six string. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Thumper Posted April 16, 2006 Members Share Posted April 16, 2006 Originally posted by Thunderbroom I'm starting to feel more comfortable in my bass-playing skin. I should hope so---you being a mod with a bazillion posts and all I was actually quite concerned when I saw the thread title. 'Comfortable,' 'play,' and 'skin' all in the same sentence bring to mind a '70s porno soundtrack, heavy on the baritone sax and wah-wah pedal. Maybe Lug could cobble something like that together to celebrate your new comfort level. (hides from Lug and T-broom...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ZedsDead Posted April 16, 2006 Members Share Posted April 16, 2006 It has a good layout, it's easy to navigate and it loads fast. It is exactly what a band website should be. Upcoming Shows, Bios, Song List, Media and Contact Information. I respect the fact that you took the time to do some learning and put together a good website for your band. It looks 1,000 times better then THIS (Harmony Central) website and look how many people use it. Content and Navigation are the keys to a successful website.

Members bassman1956 Posted April 17, 2006 Members Share Posted April 17, 2006 I think it needs the rusty old Buick from the previous site as a ghost image on this one. Otherwise, yeah, in ways, a big step forward! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't use that picture as part of the site layout. I am trying to figure out how to work it in though as I do think it's a cool picture. The problem thus far is getting it light/washed out enough for the text to be read over it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members lokidecat Posted April 17, 2006 Members Share Posted April 17, 2006 looks good, but perhaps some Feng Shui for the page. I added the hubcap for "design" element. What ya think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
