Indeed.... I have two of the SX 5 String Jazzes that I compared against one of the 'Package' basses..... different beasts

...All those bloody groupies.....

For the smaller gigs we have our own PA/Lighting etc.... thankfully we have two pro engineers in the band.... generally for the larger gigs we hire in 10-15K rig @ around £1200 a pop...

Not sure.... I have an Elite Strat and the OHC that came with that is Brown Leather with Plush Red lining....

Hey Tony... I don't manage but I work in a very Pro function band.... My words of wisdom are - Investment, promotion and professionalism. The function band I play with (www.5catfish.com - www.myspace.com/fiveconsultantsandtheirfish) invest a lot of money into the band. This year (so far) we will turnover over 100k in gigs. The investment is high on our part but the financial rewards are great. PA/Lighting is part of it.... but the most important part of all is Marketing the band properly. We have done so and we are reaping the rewards... I'm very selfish and not going to reveal how here as I see that as potentially losing business... So far this year we have spent the best part of £12k on promoting our outfit. We are just about to run an advert in a very high profile magazine which cost the best part of £2k.... Hope that gives you some idea of investment... Feel free to PM me any questions you may have

My advice is..... make sure you tell them you wanna see the girls without c***s!

yes I agree..... I could never go back to a headed bass...

Oooooooo....... you may be better off all using the camera's on your phones.... I'll post the links to the samples we'll upload to our website (www.5catfish.com) in the near future.....

Has anyone any experience of someone they can recommend ?? We are working to a sensible ( read low ish ) budget but are prepared to pay for something decent ( we have tried doing things ourselves with home camcorders etc and it just looks amateurish ) Hope someone can help Tony[/quote] Gotta say..... we have just had ours recorded at a Corporate gig we do regularly..... it's not cheap (5k) but I've seen the pre-production and it's astounding.... HD too.... I have the contact details if your interested

I was a member..... sometimes it works... generally it sucks..... same as UK Music Jobs..... that sucks too

[quote name='LukeFRC' post='191185' date='May 3 2008, 12:55 PM']i looked at it, it was white and looked like it should be quite nice but looked cheap and plastky if you know what i mean. I would rather buy the reissue of the T bass, or find a nice old one [/quote] The new T-bass P****s all over the Lodestone

'slappers' section......... (I know I know....)

[quote name='dangerboy' post='189331' date='Apr 30 2008, 11:01 PM']My girlfriend IS a bass player. And a much more talented one than me. What are you all doing with these non bass-girls?[/quote] Is she a Slapper.......... (oh come on it was obvious)

[quote name='EBS_freak' post='189294' date='Apr 30 2008, 10:06 PM']...this it would seem.[/quote] ...... is this from YOUR girlfriend...... if so tell us what you did...

I wonder what the record is for the most threads on the same subject on basschat?

Before you pass judgement on the ever damned SC...... I't may be that they have done a deal with Fender UK and done a deal on stock without cases.... it does happen.
