Firstly, o2 have a rubbish deal with Apple, effectively they sold they're soul or company profits to Apple.

Anyway - just something I noticed while watching the iPhone advert. All works suprisingly well doesn't it on the advert - the speed of the thing, applications and GPS gizmo-tronic functions loading at giga-motic speeds!

Just take a quick look right at the end - almost passes for the famous * not guarrenteed * bit from the simpsons.

Just as the o2 logo flashes up and normally this screen only lasts for a second at most.  Under the o2 logo - and I quote "Sequence Shortened" 

Crafty isn't it. 

Hayze are a local band in Ipswich with 4 members, one of which (the bass player) will be leaving to go back to Yorkshire. His last gig is on the 6th December at The Loaded Dog with Hayze in London which is also their single launch with support from Man from Reno

I will then be taking over the bass helm with my first gig on January 10th playing at PJ McGinty's in Ipswich - should be fun :)

To hear the single visit Hayze's Myspace page :) its all good.

I wasn't on the look out for one, but low and behold the wonder of ebay strikes again.

I am now the proud owner of a Trace Elliot GP12 300W RMS (580 peak) 4 x 10 monster combo amp. Happy days as they say.

I have just joined a new band called Hayze who have alot of plans for 2009 and I expect a lot of gigs with them, and a great bunch of fellas they are too. Infact I'm off out in an hour to have a few drinks with em. Anyway, I was after a 4x10 cab for my current amp (Laney R4, which I have loved using and has served me well over the past few years) and stumbled across the Trace. I couldn't resist, its great buying new things - although in fairness this amp isn't new, infacts it abotu 20 years old, but the reviews speak for themselves and the history of Trace Elliot is solid. 

Watch this space for hopefully a glowing post of how happy I am with it once it arrive - I hope the neighbours have ear plugs - I'll be running the obligatory tests on it when it turns up on my door :)
