Hi James, welcome back to the clan....

They are good solid basses and for £200, wow!!!

I can't access it.... It's saying 'Video Nit Found'.... Am I doing something wrong?

Hi Dave, welcome to BC......

Hi and welcome.... There's sure to be a tutor close by on the sub forum...

Welcome to the best forum on the web.....

Welcome, BC is a friendly family so any questions, just ask......

Thanks for all your recommendations. We've booked our slot and I'll post more once done and dusted.

I've got a Protec Contego and I find they appear to offer plenty of protection with three nice useable sized zip pockets. I'd certainly have another if needed...

As above, I use a pair of AKG 99's. Comfy too......

Anything by K &M has my stamp of approval. I've got a K&M mic stand that I've had for around 4/5 years now and it has to be the one item of my gear that I'm not previous with. It has knocks and missing finish all over it but every tightener and clasp has remained perfect and holds the mic at whatever position you want without the slow droop you get with others. I think I paid just short of £30 for it and it's been used regularly. Fellow band members have purchased other makes ( Quiklok, Stagg etc ) but my old trusty has out-lasted all of them and still works as it should.

Ezbass; you must have been sitting next to me because it's likely I followed you out! Very disappointing. The walking out part during an event is very unlike me, but there was so much more I wanted to see and time was pushing on....

I went on Sunday and had a great day. Just walking around, having a look and listen soaking up the ambience of it all.... Saw Mo Foster and Lee Sklar who I thought were both great. Lee Sklar I found particularly inspiring even to the extent that when I got home I downloaded 'Rubberband Man'....... I haven't stopped playing it since. Even now I'm getting fidgety needing my fix!!! Yes there were issues with the sound levels etc especially when trying to speak about gear to exhibitors. Hopefully if the organisers read these comments, then they may change their approach for next year. However, it's the same comments that crop up year after year. What do they do at drum and guitar shows to kerb the volume? Can anything be learnt from the organisation of these? As said, I certainly would not like to lose the show and will continue to support it year after year.

It's been almost an hour into it now....... Where's the photos ???

Aren't we supposed to be moving to plastic coated notes soon anyway like the Australians? Apparently a lot harder to copy....

There is so much fake curency in circulation that the police and banks can't keep appropriate tabs on it. As said previously, not many people including myself, see £50 notes that often so don't really know what they are looking for other than it's feel and general look. I don't like accepting £50 notes in payment, nor do I accept them from a bank. I find them a complete pain as on the occasions I've tried to spend them they've been refused and I end up having to go into my bank to change them down.

It's a nightmare!!! Came up with what we thought to be a great band name, only to find out that if you sign up with an agent they want a different name in case the potential clients book you independently !!!
