[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1335716016' post='1634917'] today I passed an audition for a balls-out rock band. YAY! All well and good... but the drummer likes to hit his drums [i]really really[/i] hard, and the guitarist has... some serious kit, shall we say. THEY ARE [i]LOUD![/i] [/quote] Is it safe to have your Gonads out around loud music ? Garry

Yep, another thread a few months back.

These companies seem to be knocking prices down at an alarming rate. This one is very good - demo available. [url="http://www.valhalladsp.com/valhallaroom"]http://www.valhalladsp.com/valhallaroom[/url] Garry

Good stuff, and glad you got the video working. Garry

Please, someone follow this up - i did a European tour with a Circus many years ago which was a great experience. This chance would be great fun, a great play, and you will end up with chops like super man. Go for it. I have just linked your post to my Facebook account , i know a few guys who might be up for this. Garry

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1335050692' post='1625313'] He certainly would. He's dead. [/quote] He just faked his own death, so he could start a heavy Blues band [now in Bath] Garry

Indeed, even Jacques Cousteau might have a problem getting to the bottom of this one. Garry

I missed that - thanks for posting. Garry

When getting excited Jaco would often really dig into the strings, causing really hard note attack. I did see Jaco once, when he used a volume pedal for Upright type Legato [< >] and he often used the volume control[s] on his Bass for this. With a typical gig set up Bass, you could only really use a Bow on Electric with any kind of articulated success, if you were just bowing on the E and G string [four string] And this would have to be somewhere towards the head stock end, the horns and body would be in the way. Because there is no serious bridge arch on Electric, it would be [and is for me] nearly impossible on the inner A & D strings. More than likely some clever geezer/geezeress on Youtube to prove me wrong though. Garry

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1334829994' post='1621883'] Gabriel Roth of Daptone Records uses ONE mic, thus: Obviously in this case placement is fairly critical! [/quote] And the test tube with blood in it helps as well. Garry

I thought the North [East] started around Watford. Garry

[quote name='charic' timestamp='1334565875' post='1617536'] Keep hard at it and you'll stand out from the crowd [/quote] Indeed.......... Some covers bands can end up at a very high standard, as can an original band of course. I have seen one particular covers outfit a few times. They play songs that were written donkeys years ago, the venue is always full, lots of merchandise,CD'd/DVD's, always have a good sound and can be loud - they have great management. The don't seem to make a lot of eye contact with the punters, and quite often the band leader has his back to the audience. They seem to attract a lot of the female gender to the gig as well. I do know one Musician in the their set up, and he is very happy with the Euro's he gets paid. They are called the Berlin[er] Philharmonic. Some people go to listen to [what they feel] is good music - others just go to have a good time regardless of the band, but like the venue. The OP's venue might just be the later type of venue.
