New Drummer day/New PA day/ a nice comment from the Newb

[Spudmurphy]

It's been a great week!!! Last Monday we rehearsed our new drummer and he was great!!
Then yesterday we picked up a second hand PA system Allen & Heath mixing desk, (true)1000 watts into two 15" JBL (American) speakers - can't wait until Monday when we have our next rehearsal with the drummer and get acquainted with the new PA.

After we had our rehearsal (he plays in another band with a 15 year old SRV clone) he said "Spud - I have to say that your Albert Lee sounds fantastic - one of the best tones I've heard" - I like the new drummer!!

Anyway gotta fettle up the Al this afternoon - playing at a big party tonight

Cheers guys I played at the party and one of the guitarists that played that night had just bought a new guitar. Just like me he had played a Les Paul for most of his time and he was very pleased with his new acquisition - an old Axis. He loves chrome fittings and he had installed chrome pick up rings on his guitar. We got talking "balls" for a while - I had to nip home quick and got my EVH to show him and he was knocked out by it.

I'm sure that one day he will come onto the forum - I hope so.

EDIT
I played through someone else's gear (I swore blind that I would never do it again!!) - an old Soldano 15 watt through a 2 x 12. I'm sure that the amp is capable of a lot better if I had had the time - but I was pi55ed with my tone that night
