I must admit that's my close second. Not sure it's always easy if the band is good though, (It comes a bit close to 'if it's hard it's cause you're crap', which certainly isnt always the case) but that could well depend on other factors, who you know, local tastes etc. but as ever ymmv IMHO ime, etc

I just wrote this for something and it occurred to post it here too... I swear the hardest part of being in a band isn't the years and years of learning the instrument, it's not the hours upon hours of writing and arranging and practicing the material, it's not the nights spent writing biogs and emailing and getting the schedules of each band member to match up, it's not the time spent away from family networking or travelling to and from gigs and carrying gear, it's not the two or three hour sets on an empty stomach or the rushed (or absent) sound checks with landlords asking you to 'turn the drums down', or watching the volume limiter kill your expensive amp every time someone flushes the loo, it's not even the drunk guy shouting 'oasis' in your face all night and trying to play your precious instrument. It's getting those landlords and venues to simply answer the phone, or text, or email or return your call with a gig. That's it. That's the single hardest part in my twenty years gigging experience! What's yours fellow muso's?

I did the same thing. Taught me a whole new respect for singists too. I 'get' them slightly more now that I do it.

Which ironic given how battered it is lol.

It was a status I think.

Another happy Samson user here

Babies play mat on the right War machine and Halo toys on the left

Just realised I used it to do this video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9IbrUUT1XGY&sns=em Ignore the playing, its pretty shoddy, but gives a good look at the bass. Bridge pickup, tone rolled back into my rig recorded on an iPhone

Very cool, reminds me a tad of stabbing westward

Stuck on wonky by my own fair hand

Here's my basic guitar rig. Works fine for me though [IMG]http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d115/gafbass02/48ce2fcb.jpg[/IMG] Peavey Bandit and a Harley Benton cab. Job done

No number on mine anywhere as far as I can tell. I'd love to know more.

Is that a recessed bridge I see on yours? Nice

Why one of those godawful boombuckers though. Why not just a normal pickup configuration so it can make normal sounds instead of a big wooly whumf. :-/ Rant mode off

I must admit that part I intend to fix asap. I've a cable shopping list for obbm as soon as I get some cash in and 5m speaker cables are on it.

I picked up this v100 on the recommendation of a basschatter then changed out the parts for a bathroom vibe [IMG]http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d115/gafbass02/12fc801f.jpg[/IMG] Love it but les Paul's hurt my arm. Toying with selling it tbh. But I'm not sure it's worth it at the value. Damn cool looking though (imho!)

Sounds like a sound plan

Except in the Cotswold pub

Funny thing is I just used to detune a six string half the time

Hah hah 'like'
