New cabinet


I picked up this Trace Elliot cabinet this weekend. I originally bought a Hartke 2x15 cab, but had to return it due to some weird cackling sound it was making. I wanted to exchange it, but they didn't have anymore in stock, so they had me try this one. I blows the Hartke away... Great low end, and clear... Sounds great with the GK. Can't wait to try it along with the 4x10 Hartke.

My Space

Just testing it out. I posted a couple of tunes... bad recordings, but you can get an idea of what we sound like.

Update

We went from not having enough ideas to having too many. We have quite a few unfinished songs right now... Not bringing anymore new stuff to the warehouse until we finish this stuff up. The hardest part now is just putting stuff together, making smooth transitions...not very easy. I feel that this is the best material that we've come up with yet. Although it does seem a lot harder than it used to be back in the old days. Life is a lot different now then it was 10 years ago...

Our once a week practice needs to be fun, after all it is getting us out of the house, but at the same time it needs to be productive because it is only once a week. Satisfaction needs to replace fun, and that's ok. We still sit around drink beer and BS when we're done playing for the night...

Goal:
10 to 12 songs
Record 5 best for a demo

Then I guess we can start playing out a bit. That'll be weird. I cant wait to here what this stuff is going to sound like in the studio!

Ok, enough of that crap. I'm looking at getting rid of the Tahoe, and replacing it with a Cherokee. Been looking around. Went to a few car lots, not fun at all. I really hate car salesman... They're so full of shit!! So I've decided that I'll look for a private seller. There are quite a few on http://www.autotrader.com/ for very reasonable prices. I'm going to buy one first, then sell my truck to pay myself back. I just want to make sure it's really what I want before getting rid of the Tahoe. The big problem with the Tahoe is that it's a 2 door. A big pain in the ass if you have kids. Dropping them off to school is not fun at all...

Rain this weekend

We really need it, but I was supposed to take Tera and a friend to the Lil' 500 go-kart track on Saturday. She'll be pissed if we end up not going... I'll have to make a backup plan in case it does end up raining all weekend. Movies or something.

Looking for a Hamer Daytona Strat copy for Eric. He's been wanting a Strat for a while, and heard some really good things about these guitars. I found a few on Ebay, watching one now, and may bid on it if it stays under $600. Sunburst with seymour duncan pickups. Cant have enough guitars! This would be a nice addition to his collection. I think it's good for the band as well. We need change every now and then.
