Guitarists... why are they such knackers
Lozz196 replied to spacecowboy's topic in General Discussion
Guitarists haven’t been a problem in every band I’ve been in. But in every band I’ve been in that has had a problem it’s been the (lead) guitarist. My theory is that they simply can’t handle being “number 2” as no matter how good they can play the focus is on the singer. This fries their fragile minds/egos so they become difficult in order to be the focal point. -
I have done it before, at the time it wasn’t my preference as getting levels in monitors for the rest of the band was tricky (as in they were awkward) but now I feel that needs must, my back is going to dictate this direction. I’ve got a pedalboard amp for gigs where there’s a provided cab, for gigs where there won’t be a provided rig I’ll do the ampless thing from now on.

I have to admit I’m seriously considering this route too. All my gigs have FOH & stage monitoring so I’m finding more & more reasons to get in on this.

Must admit I’m thinking of the ampless route as well. All my gigs go FOH and all the stages have monitors so am looking into this and at the successes the various members on here have with this.

Suggestions for something similar to replace my Little Mark III
Lozz196 replied to ikay's topic in Amps and Cabs
I found they had a fairly big top-end roll-off, get a good biting on stage sound and what came through the DI to FOH had considerably more highs. Maybe the intention there was to make things easier when using the DI and not have too much low end going to FOH? But whatever the theory I’m in agreement, they have a very good in the mix sound. -
A new experience for me - how a band gets put together in 2023.

Buy 10 then send 5 back & get a refund for £4.59, they’ll have paid you 10p for the pleasure -
Like that Steve

Watching a thrilling snooker world tournament semi final, both players really pulling some shots out of the bag in this.

How old were you when you did your first gig?
Lozz196 replied to odysseus's topic in General Discussion
My first performance was at 16 playing bass for the school orchestra on the annual Xmas play. Only played on a few numbers tho as had only been playing for a year and had only learned Sex Pistols songs so wasn’t that proficient at orchestra type music. -
The One You've Never Tried, But Really Want To

Having been to The London Bass Guitar Show I’m surprised there are any angels left the amount of that that goes on there! -
I hope my awareness of my own limitations stops this happening to me. I really do……

That’s a pretty awesome bunch @Rayman, many of a certain generation would have been very starstruck there, including me.

I used Markbass gear for a few years because of this. Seemed whenever I went to see a band play and like the sound it was a Markbass rig the bassist was using, sounded especially great with Fender basses imo. Only moved on as needed some gain/drive. -

Given the reputation I’d like to try a Wal. -

Going to see Moving Pictures (Rush tribute) at The Craufurd Arms, Wolverton on June 9th. Never saw Rush so will be nice to see a tribute.

I had the 1x15 Black Widow cab and that was heavy enough - especially as I lived in a 2nd floor flat.

Wowzers!!

I’ve always thought that Stiff Little Fingers were similar @cheddatom, their lyrics could be taken to be left by some but they’re really just about fairness & decency.

I’ve been using a SubZero setup which is similar to the WL20, works on 5.8Hz, not had any problems so far.

Agree, ideal for a short term solution at a gig, think I’ll be getting one of these

Good call
