Hi Guys, still in slovenia. Done two cracking gigs so far. One open air gig in the town square at Celje which was great and last night we played a gig in the grounds of the castle at Kranj which is about 80km north west of the capitol Ljublijana which was filmed by a couple film crews and that was a fantstic gig. The crowd were a little hesitant to get rocking at first. I guess having classical guitar orchestra playing before you doesn't really warm the audience up for a reggae experience lol.
But I doubt if there have been many reggae bands touring here in Slovenia as no-one I spoke to had ever seen a live reggae band.
It's a really nice country from what I've seen and the people are very friendly towards us.
The alembicised strat is holding up well sound wise and at stage volumes, my reservations about the filter knob having enough range in the bright side of the travel has been blown away. I've been able to alter the settings and get a change of tone without losing too much of the brightness, which was my main concern.
Fortunately They had a fender Twin Reverb, unfortunately it had an intermittent fault and on both gigs during sound check the sound either disappeared or just went into a 50hz hum.
The tried and trusted traditional repair technique
of giving it a bang seemed to work for at least the length of the gig.
I'll post some pictures when I get back home.
Catch you later
