I like my VM4 passive, though the last but one gig I did I went active at half time to boost the bass after an audience request. My 71 P with flats is the deepest bass I own.
Played a village hall ‘Pub Night’ in the wilds of Dorset with the Otis Jay Blues Band.
The audience came to eat, but were in decline numbers wise thereafter which is always difficult - you’re not the main attraction! But some nice comments from those who stayed.
And what a stage! I hardly knew what to do with the room I had.
Acoustically, brought my MIJ Jazz ‘Sonic’ and GK MB200 through two Barefaced One10. Sound was so boomy I used bridge pickup exclusively, but seemed to work ok. Image is pre-gig, obviously!
I said I would prefer local gigs to ones that involved too much travelling. He interpreted this as an insult to him - how I don’t know, cos he never got us a single gig anywhere! Maybe I am just not ambitious enough…
We do have other options but this would be the easy one.
Keep em coming chaps, thanks!
Funny how drummers keep cropping up. It is a drummer, he quit without notice but now his replacement has moved in he is suggesting he might have made a mistake. We are using him as a dep initially but the future divides our band. One wants him in, one is undecided. And there’s me!
If you have experience of re-enlisting a former bandmate, please feel free to share.
Has it worked for you?
Do previous problems recur?
If someone quit without warning would you trust them again?
Ta!
