People will get affected, there is no doubt, as will the industry. What is asinine is to discount/paper over the view with broad strokes of the people that will actually have to live and breathe this.

Great based-I stripped, finished and refurbed a body for my bro, popped Haüssels pick ups and a Tonestyler Duo 6 in its the nuts

Good job Like that alot

I wouldn’t say they have led the planet in pop and rock, this is the nation that didn’t recognise the talent of Jimi Hendrix, he had to be discovered by a geordie brought over to England and then released back to them before they realised what they had. I think Britain has done ok in those genres and probably has the biggest bands/artists overall of all time

Pretty hard to adapt when A catastrophic event seals your fate.......

The pinch is already there. Gigs are all in the 20-40 squid bracket for venues like The Fleece up to the O2 academy in Bristol and surrounding areas, a lot of the time closer to £40. For up and coming bands/nights £15-20, which if you are taking a punt on seeing new music is a lot of money, crikey in my youth Pearl Jam played the International II in Manchester for under a tenner, House of Pain, Funk Doobiest and Cypress Hill toured together and it was about £15. Those days are gone now

I agree with writing and petitioning, there is a difference though for something being heard and something being ‘heard’. Live music venues are closing all the time with increased pressures from residences that have sprung up around them and after the venue looking at Noise pollution. When you have a venue as famous as The Fleece in Bristol which has housed Oasis, Emile Sande, Glenn Hughes, I think Amy Winehouse to name a few, which is almost in constant threat to close because the flats built up next to them were built without sound protection, hence the venue is at fault (absurd) and the fact that it could make valuable real estate - you know you are onto a loser, and this is a city with a supposed bubbling scene. Are issues unforeseen or not considered if brought to light

Thanks for your post. i agree doing something is the right thing, especially when there is an outcry, however my fear is that actually if due consideration was given from the start, it should have been a non issue and never happened. People in these positions don’t I think look at the whole picture and I am afraid that there will not be a public outcry for the arts and musicians and hence it won’t get sorted, or if it does, it will be so long that a current and future generation of arts/music related people will be put off or in a worse place. Yep, you can call it doom and gloom, but if you build a system to be reactive as opposed to foreseeing and proactive, then that is what happens

The DP3X has it at 325 and 700 using the switch Honestly it’s pitched just right

Not always! Entirely depends on what your guitarist is using and doing. Its more - the right Mids, not necessarily all mids

@Rich apologies for mine, I was typing whilst your request came on

@ambient I will say thanks about the Eurostar knowledge and prices, it’s good intel on a trip I may need to make

I love this choose your neighbours notion, take the Windrush generation. Open arms, come across all people from the Commonwealth. 50-60 years later having lived and worked their whole lives in the U.K. including paying taxes, remnants of this government decide that they need to prove where they went to school (many of which no longer exist) to determine their right to stay in the country, oh and by the way, sorry you got Cancer and needed treatment here is the bill for it, despite us saying your treatment is free as you have contributed your whole working life...... Yes it’s moved off topic, to other areas but it’s not surprising given the breadth of the subject, but also where people with little or no experience of how this affects musicians are passing broad comments on how it’ll probably be ok, and they just need to adapt, it’s a bit condescending unless they can come up with a magic secret sauce to help them other than “move or adapt”. For the record, I am no expert on it, but have talked at length with a very good friend who will be affected and sympathise, on the musician issue. The rest of it, I am skeptical as we have seen problems in my area of work even before and during this uncertainty which have a very good chance of getting worse

You won’t regret it aside from the brilliant EQ and crossover you have a tuner and the DI out in a small package, what’s not to like?!

Fusion

Tech21 DP3X will kill it - and you can probably close the thread. Its more versatile than people think as they maybe just hear one tone from it. Look up Time Starace’s video on the different ‘set’ tones the manual give you, it may even be on the pedals own thread on here. The ultimate Power Trio is Kings X, that sound is massive

Maybe yes if that’s the only way, but your UK based musician who would normally tour with the artist, is possibly frozen out, and like you say if they previously had a visa to enter Europe, but now need one for Europe and U.K., doesn’t make sense for them, so not only does he/she not get the european gigs, but doesn’t get the U.K. ones either.

Read all comments on this subject, and this is a slight aside as it’s a different work sector (healthcare I am talking about), but I am not sure how much most people know what a PITA visa applications are and how expensive they are. The conditions for it are rigorous (rightly so) but massively rigid. We had a really good chap who we wanted to keep on, but HR were dragging their feet, and there was a job to be created for this guy. He had to take another job and the Visa is very specific for the job and location he had to do. He couldn’t just take that job and then come back to this one in a few months as it would mean a whole new visa application costing thousands each time and had to uproot family etc. This is just moving jobs between cities in the same country, it will be so much more painful overall for everyone. Back to music, smaller touring artists often have musicians for their band stationed in Europe for when they come to play. The musician stationed in U.K. would usually be fine to play the european leg, is this going to lead to them not getting the work, or the hassle of having multiple musicians stationed in different countries. Its a nightmare, and yes many people will be affected

So long ago I can’t remember where either

At which point does your relationship move to the next level?

You defo can’t touch it.......
