  1. So, Nile Rodgers & Nile Rodgers?
  2. It's not really "& CHIC" is it? 😟
  3. Maybe have a rule that on the hour for 15 minutes amps are turned off / muted?
  4. Similar thing happened to me a few gigs ago, fortunately @Happy Jack was on hand to sort out the speakon cable which wasn't fully inserted in to the cab.
  5. Last gig while soundchecking, no sound from the bass. Soundguy "Is the amp switched on?". Me "yes". Now in my defence it looked like the amp light was on. But it was an outside gig and it was just the sun shining on it, making it look bright. When the sound walked over and turned the amp on I looked like a right 🤬 I've only been gigging for 40 years 😖
  6. Mine balances quite well, but it's an earlier one and doesn't have the metal plate on the back.
  7. Not quite, it's short scale 29" but the difference isn't too noticeable.
  8. Mainly open strings I'm guessing?
  9. The Exploited , when they headlined F*CK Reading in 1996. It was so loud pitch was indistinguishable. And I was wearing earplugs. We left after the first 2 noise assaults.
  10. Paid rehearsal.
  11. @Clarky are you back in a metal band?
  12. What did the punters make of it?
  13. https://snap-dragon-guitars.com/products/snap-dragon-e-bass
  14. Guitar players whose playing would not be affected at all, if the little finger of their fretting hand was amputated.
  15. You can usually treat bursitis with things like rest, ice packs and painkillers. But prevention being better than the cure, @Happy Jack has a video on here somewhere, showing how to warm up before playing, which will help prevent reoccurrence.
  16. Runnymede Live, Victory Park, Addelstone. It only took 2 years but Electrik Soup finally got around to doing a gig! The phrase 'herding cats' was invented for this band 😆 Outdoor gig today, fortunately the weather was good. We were the first band on at 12:45pm. Set consisting of mainly 90's indie and Britpop (hence the bucket hat). One of the guitarists forgot to bring the bass amp, so I used a Warwick Gnome belonging to the other guitarist, just as a DI. It sounded really good, with a surprising amount of 'heft'. On stage monitors were plentiful and although we didn't have a sound check the on stage sound was sorted by the third song, and FOH sounded great according to the punters I spoke to. I only took a clip on tuner, which died as I was tuning. All I needed on an out door gig 😖. But Shuker 3 is awfully resilient and tends to stay in tune regardless of environment. So I got away with it. Gear: Shuker 3 > Airbridge wireless > Warwick Gnome (DI) > FOH
  17. But that's 2 louder 😯
  18. What bass do you play? 😉
  19. Frank Skinner (voice of Ozzy's audio biography) on when he first met Ozzy. Frank: I used to be in a band who played Paranoid. Ozzy: So did I!
  20. What country is it made in?
  21. Is the improved tracking on v4 going to filter down to v3?
  22. It's an excuse for your band mates to get together before going the pub.
  23. I watched the video but got distracted by a couple of things...
