    My first rig - Peavey 450/700 or recommendation

    the ashdown mag410 is rated at 350 watts at 8 ohms, using the 700 at 8 ohms is 500 watts which means risking speaker blowout

    you should consider that if you buy the 700 you will need to buy a better rated cab or a second cab as you wont be able to run it at 8 ohms

    Jamming with drummer/guitarist

    for me at least when its myself, the drummer and the rhythm guitarist, one of us just starts playing something, calls out the key/progression then the rest of us lock in, we just figure out the details whilst we are playing. Half of the fun of jamming in my opinion is making a few small mistakes...

    Things other band members say or do that piss you off...

    The complete inability of my lead guitarist and lead singer to turn up anywhere punctually. Allways being told to turn down when the guitarists manage to point their own amps directly at their shins. Both really annoy me
