Monthly Bandeoke slot last night. The woman who organises and runs it was ill so we relied on the regular punters knowing the score and the landlady running around encouraging other folk to get up.
It wasn't a total disaster.
I played through the souped up TC Electronic 2x8 bought from @Stealthof this parish. He'd basically put in more powerful speakers which turned the cab into a 4ohm mini monster.
People who've heard me play through every rig imaginable in previous months, came up afterwards to tell me it was the best sound I'd ever had. I said I was concerned a 250 watt amp might not cut it in such a big room but was told you could feel the bass in your chest right to the back.
So my small rig solution is sorted!
Last minute gig last night - saved me from a dead weekend.
I arrived first, "where do the bands set up mate?" "Over there under the TV"
In between the two toilet doors. Nice. Wait, that space is the width of a TV. Umm
One of the most stupid/hilarious anti Harley Benton comments I've read recently (and they're almost all just cut and paste by people with zero real life experience) was a guy who says once he'd cut off and thrown away the awful strings it was a much better bass.
The instrument came with D'Addario strings as standard.
