    Never fainted... But there was one gig where i was incredibly uncomfortable, my band were playing Portsmouth University and the main band setup differently to my band, i usually stand my drummers snare side and with the guitarist that plays the rhythmic stuff, in this instance i was shifted to the far right miles from the drummer and in ear shot of the twiddly *w***ing on* guitarists Orange rig and his on stage monitor, i had the vocal monitor to my right, i had an incredibly hot lighting rig at head level to my right and i couldn't have my bass rig loud as the temporary stage shook too much *volume on the markbass was 0.7 NOT EVEN 1!!* and the guitar amp mics picked it up!!! worst gig i have played, couldn't hear myself, i was boiling hot *wearing a cardigan too* i forgot my ear plugs, we were being recorded and being broadcasted live on Radio huge pressure and i just didn't want to be there. Gigs like that are best forgotten! heres a pic of that bastard Orange stack, lighting rig, and monitors...... urgh!

    ahhh thought that the white pups may generate some questions, they are indeed just white covers over the exisiting "Duncan Designed" pups, however! i have replaced the white covers with the original black ones as something just wasn't working visually, the new "vintage knobs" remain though! they're just so much cooler than the stock chrome ones.

    [quote name='alexharvay' post='647166' date='Nov 6 2009, 12:47 PM']The drummer from Reuben worked in Debenhams in Guildford while they were still going.[/quote] Reuben took me and my mate out for a pub lunch when we met them in Newcastle, hands down the nicest guys you could want to meet, they had what they called "Reuben Money" to spend and bought us lunch! Likewise i was in Virgin in New York *as you do* and i saw Talena Atfield of Kittie working there while the band were off tour.....

    When my band played with "Baddies", "The Coronas" and "Idiosync" every single one of the bands had taken out a loan £18,000 - £24,000 and were touring the country on that, every band had a "mate" who acted as a driver, financial manager, roadie, booking agent etc and got a very small wage from that, guess if you want to get around you need to spend money. Rock Sound magazine champions bands like This will destroy you, and sponsers them on their tours in the UK for coming over to play, 65 Days of static again huge in Rock Sound, have been DIY'ing their records for the past 12 years and that will definitely keep costs down, but it will in no way be a glamorous lifestyle! Don't forget the bands main income of Merch sold at shows, thats how a band will really fund their night in a travel lodge.

    [quote name='GreeneKing' post='640603' date='Oct 29 2009, 11:16 PM']a 9v battery should last 100's of hours, or at least a lot longer than you need. Pop a new one in and don't worry [/quote] The 9 Volt battery in my Stage II lasted a whole year with me actively recording and gigging with it, it was an energiser lithium and i have used them religiously since!

    [quote name='KiOgon' post='646479' date='Nov 5 2009, 05:34 PM']Yes it was a faulty string - wateroftyne - you got it in one![/quote] Thats only happened to me once, the G,D,A strings were bright and beautiful, the E string sounded like i'd been playing for 15 Years, very bizzarre how it can happen. Glad you got it all sorted out though!

    I was going to reluctantly sell my VMJ to a Basschatter called Marcus as he really wants one, however i am firmly holding on to mine after playing it for 5 hours straight last night and after realising i have a really special one, the body wood grain is beautiful, the neck is perfect, the bass sings, its superbly playable and for that reason its just not for sale, i have passed the advert on to him via PM so he may be in touch.
