Wake me up before you go go - Wham

I use the Donner Wireless DMX dongles. They work well, but you do have to remember to charge them! I also use a Bigfoot DMX foot controller. Like all manual controllers it's tedious to program but once done you can operate the lights with your feet. We also use some external coloured led floodlights as general uplighting. They aren't DMX

Banana Republic - Boomtown Rats

The Funky Gibbon - The Goodies

Skirt Tunnel, Lovers Plums and Groaning Toss....all memorable suggestions 🤣 Almost as addictive as the Sandberg configurator!

If you are looking at 2x8 cabs then I can highly recommend the GR Bass GR208/4 500w. Thunderous little thing and easily copes with live gigging and acoustic drums in a pub rock band. I use a 500w head with it and it does seem to like a bit of power.

Loving my Reverend Mercalli- plenty of Not A P options here https://reverendguitars.com/basses/

Exactly what I was thinking- just stuff that does what you need. More about utility than attachment. 😉

Not sure if this has a thread - I did a search, but Gas gets mentioned a lot! 🙂 So, I was just doing a bit of home headphone practice and realised I have not once thought of changing my venerable Zoom B3 which has sat on my desk ready to go for years. I can' t think of many other things that I haven't changed or even thought of changing. What have you got that's a permanent fixture to bass life? (BTW. I'm well aware you answers may instill GAS but let's risk it...)

Look out for a used Zoom B3. More settings than you'll ever need, plus it's a ready made pedal board or DI should you ' go live.'

Thanks, that's interesting about the different alarm types. We have used smoke before in a bigger venue and they switched from smoke to heat alarms for us. But, not likely down the Pie & Ferret!

Yep, always would. Just wondering if anyone has had issues with sparing use of a hazer triggering alarms, or not 🙂

Hi all Having set off more than a few smoke alarms in the distant past with my venerable smoke machine, I've not taken it out gigging for some time. Popped out to see a mates band who made good (sparing) use of a Hazer this weekend. They said they didn't experience issues. Not looking for anything more than just a little bit of atmosphere for the lights. Interested to know if anyone else uses one and any issues?

I saw the Kris Barras Band at The Apex in Bury St Edmunds last night. I don't know their stuff but what a great modern rock band - loads of energy and a very talented bunch. The bass player was all over the stage all night - no standing at the back looking moody 😄 Awesome venue too. Highly recommend, would see again!

We do 'Like I Roll' - would like to do a few more, but their tuning makes it tricky as swapping guitars is too much of a faff in a pub! We like playing it and it's a decent first set song, a bit of a country feel so it's different to the rest of the set.
