My 69er doesn't vibrate. Feel free to interpret that anyway that you will.

Try www.easily.co.uk. I find them excellent.

The best promoter and cheapest, will be yourselves. An agent, if you can find one or a manager will cost you up to 25%. Just phone round or visit the venues.

Definitely digital for me.

Didn't I see something about that on TV a while ago?

I hope that this isn't too posy, but here's what I get up to. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6-hcSG5GUJc I'm the one on the left.

1,2,3,4, is no good with our drummer, it's more like 1, 2, 3, 3 3/4.

The heaviest bass I ever owned was a Shergold 4 / 12 twin neck. I never weighed it but a hour of it over my shoulder and it got painful. It is basically 2 guitars. The lightest is my Danelectro long horn at virtually nothing.

On the rare occasions that we practice, it's in the studio, shed?, that I built in my, admittedly large, back garden. Home made electronic drums into an Alesis DM5, guitar, bass and vocal mics straight into an old peavey mixer. Guitarist uses effects if he feels the need but generally doesn't. No DI, just straight in to the line inputs. Aux 1 out goes to an old stereo amp for the drummer. Aux2 again to another stereo amp for the guitarist and because it's all mine, I get the main outs for my stereo amp. We all done headphones and play away. The sound is great and brilliant quality and the only thing that might be heard is just a few voices and laughter over mistakes. It's all set up and ready to go and free.

Would love to do IEMs as well, but our drummer can't / won't put things in his ears and Keith Moon couldn't keep headphones on so neither will I. Oh well, never mind.

Yes, The Fabulous 6Ts will be [s]suffering[/s] appearing at Ramsgate Working Mens Club, Chatham Place, tonight from 8.00 pm. Not stop 60s all night. Come along and join in the fun.

Had one once in the 80s and with the Fender 2 x 15, the sound was glorious.

Jedson, Zenta, Kay? Same bass different name. Generally considered crap. Sold in Woolworths for not a lot.

These are surprisingly good, http://www.thomann.de/gb/behringer_xm1800s_set.htm, used them myself and they work a treat. Worth a look.

Excellent service. Order with confidence.

This is interesting, http://basschat.co.uk/topic/10362-wireless-system-licensing-guide/ and it's at the top of the page with this thread on it.

Are you supposed to tune it then?

Why not put a jazz neck on it.

Use them both. If one plays up, use the other.

When I used a VHF system, I quite often used to get other users on my frequency, a lot of taxi firms as well, believe it or not, so had to go back to a lead on those occasions. The great digital tv switch over was all about selling analogue frequencies to mobile phone operators for 4G. This has made most wireless musical equipment that also used those frequencies obsolete overnight, however, if it was me, I'd just use it anyway. You're unlikely to be arrested or even noticed, but you might get the odd mobile call out of your amp sometime in the future.

[quote name='Acebassmusic' timestamp='1377772540' post='2191521'] I did think about getting our kick drum skin done but then thought about where most of our gigs are - pubs, where the bass drum is below eye level and hidden behind our singers legs. I went for a banner for behind the band so all the audience could see who we are. Just my 2p worth.... [/quote] I did both! You never know who may be laying on the floor in front of the band.

Being UHF, it would be the AKG for me and the AKG transmitter is considerably more convenient. They are both only single channel so are likely to pick up other transmitters using those frequencies but less likely with UHF. Are the frequencies still legal?

You can tune a bass but you can't tuna fish!
