I guess she doesn't have a spare bass to bring 🙂

They look pretty bloody good to me!

Reckon he's still there????

Bad trousers and mullet here 🙂

Never mind, could be worse. I was too old apparently. My 50 gigs a year experience, transport, flexibility and pro gear all counted for nothing when I told them I was 60. First time in my life I've been discriminated against despite being half deaf, half Welsh and a bass player! 😂

There was a band called Navarro looking local to you a few weeks back...

80 years old, recovering from the flu, stupidly hot weather and allegedly spent £300,000 of his own money to bring the full band over from Vegas for this one gig. He's earned his time for me so I'll cut him a bit of slack...

I can confirm that a Monaco fits nicely in the frunk of a Porsche 986 Boxster if you pop the spare wheel out first 🙂

Oh and if you ever change your MX5 in for a Boxster I can confirm it will fit in the frunk with a bit of room to spare.....🙂

I have a Monaco. Used it for the first time in anger at an outdoor festival last Sunday and I've done a few rehearsals with it. Bloody brilliant. Dispersion is fabulous and the cab didn't break a sweat with a 5 string Spector. The build quality feels better than my Barefaced BB2 cabs I used for 10 years - they never failed on me but the cabinets always felt a bit fragile. I've used various Bergs as well and sold them all after a couple of gigs - they didn't have enough booty for what I was looking for at the time. The thing I haven't seen anyone mention so far is that the Monaco is really good at lower volumes too. The BB2 was always a bit full on for home use - it just sounded huge all the time which isn't necessarily great for in the living room. Wholeheartedly recommended

I have an LFSys Monaco and it's fine with a 5 string Spector.

If it's standard pub songs you would probably know 20 of them already. And I suppose the potential for further gigs with the same band comes into play as well - if it's likely a one off you would be less inclined to put too much effort in. We had 2 dep guitarists and a singer that we used regularly (they probably did about 8 gigs a year each with us) and over a few years they gradually picked up the whole set. They really became valued extended members of the band, never needed to buy a drink and came out for a free curry at Christmas. We also learned a few songs off their wish list.
