[quote name='geoham' timestamp='1408972205' post='2535039'] How long do you guys play at a wedding? Pretty standard to do 8pm to Midnight up here in Scotland, with a break for the evening buffet. [/quote] Everyone I've ever done has been maybe 2x40, sometimes 3x40 though the last set usually runs on to maybe an hour. There's usually a disco too though. We're booked for our first wedding with our new 'acoustic' line-up in 3 weeks time, we're asked to play for an hour early evening while everyone's arriving and talking etc. There's a disco on later for the main bit.

Non.

[quote name='BurritoBass' timestamp='1408867781' post='2534091'] I think a lot of people wrongly assume kit share is automatically somehow magically sorted by the promoter or venue which can lead to misunderstandings. I too agree it isn't an age thing. A young idiot probably won't suddenly grow into a wise old sage! The last two idiot bass players I met were both (coincidentally) mid 30s; the last one was a guy who came up to tell me how much he loved my bass and tone until he realised I had a Squier and not a Fender so promptly started doing a u-turn on how it wasn't quite cutting it and selling me short. The one before that kindly lent me her upright bass and then afterwards approached my singer right in front of me and said she'd dep for me as she was better! She'd been drinking and I have to say having watched her set I actually didn't agree she was a better player. I think it all comes with the territory and the reality is I've met a bunch of cool players too. [/quote] She'd have to have had said bass surgically removed 😊. Why can't people just be nice to one another ? Mind you it's not just gigs is it ? You see it on here too sometimes 😊

Dunlop's are better, and if you use a comfort strap attach it like this. [attachment=169943:Photo on 23-08-2014 at 17.21.jpg]

What an amazing band.
