Hi all Wondered if I could ask a bit of advice on how people deal with audience members coming on stage uninvited and disrupting the performance? I get its an occupational hazard but there is a balance between being respectful to audience members and keeping performance going but also protecting yourself and your equipment. Was just interested in strategies people have learned for navigating/reducing this as a problem? 99.9% of audience members in my experience get it and are respectful and even those that want to come have a sing along with the band can be fine. I'm talking more about when people (due to drink/other reasons) don't stick to the boundaries that keep performers safe and/or keep the performance going. Some examples that come to mind from the past few years are: Trying to play instruments (while in use by the performers) Taking back up instruments off stage Playing with amps/pa gear Climbing on equipment Inappropriate physical contact Aggression (both verbal and physical) Thanks as always Tom

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Three-Note-Voicings-Beyond-Guitar-Solo/dp/1883217660 is the amazon link but a lot of it can be translated to a bass with a high c from memory

There's a lot in 3 note voicing and beyond that might be of use?

The double thumb technique might be more forgiving in that context? Just a thought but slapping through and resting on the string below might be more reliable. 16mm is always going to be tricky though

Also I may not have appreciated how expensive starting this thread might be.... some of these look rather cool

Mostly things about using blank loops were the real eureka moment for me

Hi all, I have been getting into pedals semi-seriously over the last few years and have slowly been building up a board for experimenting with new sounds etc. From reading these forums there is clearly a depth of knowledge and experience here and was interested to know which pedals/effects have sparked the most new ideas/new directions for people. The ones that spring to mind obviously for me would be: Line 6 DL4 (particularly after some pointers from Steve Lawson) Meris Enzo But really interested in other people's experiences... Cheers Tom

Chords are just combinations of melodies... took me ages to get the full significance of this

My copilot android is my favorite pedal on my board. The tremelo option is pretty useful on it too for ambienty stufg
