[quote name='Who's Who' timestamp='1331838012' post='1579777'] FWIW I have this exact same rig, and as you'd expect it's an absolute monster. The cabs are probably one of the most manageable 4x10's about and they sound great. If anyone is considering this rig, then just go for it, you won't be dissapointed. I thought about the Hydrive range for some time, and I'm so glad I went for it in the end. Best of luck with the sale mate. [/quote] +1 ... cant over emphasise how good the hydrive cabs are

Caffe Americano in Swansea, Wales... terrible management :(
steve-bbb replied to BigBassBob's topic in General Discussion
[quote name='thepurpleblob' timestamp='1331678526' post='1577211'] It turns out that at the end the manager refused to pay on the grounds that he hadn't made any money and we didn't bring anybody with us. [/quote] the venue manager cant dictate the terms of the contract after the event to suit himself it is reasonable to expect a band to turn up and play in a consumate manner - it is unreasonable to expect the band to be time travelling mind readers and anticipate that the venue manager would come up with such a crass excuse after and as a consequence of low attendance/takings - if venues are going to take the attitude that bands are expected to bring along a reasonable number of punters to put money over the bar then the venue need to specify it explicitly -

[quote name='Adrenochrome' timestamp='1331490585' post='1573678'] Small claims court fella, should an easy win. [/quote] this +1 breach of (verbal) contract write to advise them first giving them 14 days to sort it out otherwise you will take matter to small claims court - dont forget to include the gig fee and a "reasonable admin fee"- and if youre feeling really cheeky you could include a bit of wear and tear on the PA from the damage caused by drunk persons on their premises and if they make it a long tedious drawn out process just copy the whole thing in to the local council licensing officer for good measure -

[quote name='kjb' timestamp='1331389768' post='1572228'] Get some lessons, learn more about music, not just bass, but actually music.....theory, harmony, rhythm etc. If you 'know' something is right, because you've been taught that it is, then that'll improve your self confidence, and your playing.

[/quote] no realistically all they will do (if their web admin is doing their job and examining referrers regularly) will be to email the offending referrer (ie BC) and request it be removed - not a great deal more they can do its often considered netiquette to email webmanagers/site owners if you have a website yourself and want to paste an in-depth link into their site as forces new visitors to by-pass the homepage but from a web forum??? if anybody gets snotty about that then good luck to them if they think they can do without the publicity
