brentrocks Posted January 4, 2023 Posted January 4, 2023 My band played a private party at Bells Brewery last night!! I took my H530 and a PRS. Played through a 18w 1x12 Marshall bluesbreaker clone. It sounded awesome!!! It was a great gig in a really cool room!! Big fun!!!
DetroitBlues Posted January 4, 2023 Posted January 4, 2023 Looks awesome! Playing a P90/Hollowbody using that amp, did you have any issues with feedback? I used my 535 in band practice a couple weeks ago and the feedback was tough, then again, we practice in a very small space, maybe a 12x12 room. Perhaps a stage allows a little more "breathing" room where its not a problem?
Gitfiddler Posted January 4, 2023 Posted January 4, 2023 Brent, that H530 looks great on you! Rockin' good times at Bells.
davesultra Posted January 4, 2023 Posted January 4, 2023 Nice gig pics Brent! So I’ll ask the million dollar question… Does your 530 neck dive at all?
yoslate Posted January 5, 2023 Posted January 5, 2023 Looking more and more "in your element" with every set of pics, man! 530 looks great on stage!

I use a leather strap that has a rough backside, so I don’t have an issue with neck dive. If I were using a nylon strap, it may a little.

brentrocks Posted January 5, 2023 Author Posted January 5, 2023 We were very fortunate. We played Bells 2 times in one month…that is unheard of for a cover band!! I say it’s part being a well rehearsed band and part being at the right place at the right time.
mtpatty Posted January 5, 2023 Posted January 5, 2023 excellent photos- thanks for posting! looks like a great time!
Kuz Posted January 5, 2023 Posted January 5, 2023 If neck dive does become an issue, switching the heavy grover tuners to Kluson deluxe tuners can save a lot of weight on the headstock/neck. I have done it before myself!
ElNumero Posted January 6, 2023 Posted January 6, 2023 I’m looking forward to seeing Brent on the cover of Vintage Guitar soon!

Dick Seacup Posted January 6, 2023 Posted January 6, 2023 Funny the giant jenga tower fell over right as she closed out the last line in that first video. LOL Nice job on My Sharona. You need to jump around more, though, buddy.
kennyv4 Posted January 6, 2023 Posted January 6, 2023 I love that H-530. Your band sounds great. Thanks for the videos.

Kuz Posted January 7, 2023 Posted January 7, 2023 22 hours ago, ElNumero said: How so? Tuners probably weigh 1 or 2 oz at most! Here's how.... Grover Nickel Tuners = 9.9oz Grover locking tuners 10.4oz Kluson Deluxe = under 5oz So you save approximately 5oz. Put an extra 5oz on the headstock of a guitar with a light, hollow body and see what happens.
Kuz Posted January 7, 2023 Posted January 7, 2023 Nice job, Brent! Way to put yourself out there and go for it! I would have done the same thing you did on the solo of "My Sharona". Just do my own impromptu solo over the song and don't even attempt to play the recorded iconic solo note for note. It is one of the most melodic and among the greatest rock solos ever recorded. I think this is why more bands don't cover this song, because they don't even want to attempt that recorded solo.
