scientists are currently developing their latest transport invention which promises to make the all advantages of the car available to those who cant afford one and guess what they are calling it?

You could get from town (o'connnell bridge) to cabra (church) in ten minutes on a bike no bother. That's no excuse for scomper not being polite to possible customers though.

I'd be impressed if you can do this on a bus at six o'clock midweek.

 

[scomper]

oh im so sorry,im only joking.

Scomper why do you spell centre the AmericaN way?
Are you mother of gods AN AMERICAN????
One American on these boards is enough

Shut up Janer.

bikin it with guitars and pedals n shit could be quite cucumbersome though. bands that are interested should just move into the local area as to decrease travel time and commutive expenses

 

[scomper]

im not mean really im not. i just post junk so people will look,
boring posts get no attention,my previous post just stated the facts about the studio and got 20 views.

 

[scomper]

yeah but i have equipment storage included in d pricey, and if you rent the room for a month it works out way better you can jam into the night and i have a separate control room which is dead handy for recording.

During the summer I used to cycle twenty minutes from Killmainham to Templogue with my bass on my back no bother. It's called dedication.

From my experience, the gear in the music centre is dreadful. It can be very difficult to bring your own amp (esp if it's a valve amp) along with your guitar so it's a major problem.

TBMC room size is grand, location is great but if you can't get a decent sound out of the kit/amps, services like scomper's will always be a welcome addition in my opinion.

Scomper, I'd say you genuinely have a good offering there without having to dis the competition in public and exagurrate travel times. It's no secret that TBMC has flaws.

That said, if they get there act together gear-wise, you can only hope to catch those who can't get a room in TBMC.

!bog

 

[scomper]

sorry meant to say 2 five hour sesssions per week which
obviously works out at 8 per month for 300 hundred,
which is 75 euro per month if you are in afour piece
which is under a tenner per practice

Hi Scomper, good on ya for trying at least. I hope it works out for ya. The TBMC is in a fab location (apart from there being no parking). It does boast terrible rooms at an exorbitant price IMHO.

My band travel out of Dublin to rehearse. We pay nothing like those rates and we don't have to put up with other snotty nosed kids like us.

My advice to any band rehearsing twice a week is find yourself a lock-up room. Cheap compared to TBMC etc. And you can leave your gear set-up...luvley.

 

[scomper]

thanks divil, i dont have any real beef with the music center except that it is expensive, most of the amplifiers are broken,hi hat clutch? whats that? cymbal stands? "can you not just lay them on the floor like your supposed to"
i think its an irish thing(im irish myswelf before you all kill me) to be complacent about inferior product and just pay anyway,my studio is getting off the ground slowly but surely thanks for the encouragement i also produce and record bands for very reasonable rates.
