We base ours on £500 per man.... that's what we think its worth to us.... not pub though

This surely

[quote name='fumps' timestamp='1348137874' post='1809757'] Ya see mate if my local has booked a disco band I'd be there to see that. Another covers band doing what you list before, I wouldn't come in from the smoke shelter. [/quote] It's mad... we don't play many pubs because of the pay... but we are getting loads of offers at the moment and I'm using them as a showcase gig for our function/wedding clients

I was doing a dep gig with a band last week.... Typical 'pub' band..... sex on fire, Dakota, Don't look back in anger, you know the set..... Was speaking with the Landlord of the pub and he's moaning that most of the bands on the circuit (Essex) have a similar repertoire and he and his punters have noticed this..... So I tell him about my band (Disco Genre) which he likes the sound of..... and get booked in October for a try out and then he gives me another 6 dates for 2013. Two days later I get a call from another pub in the chain given me another 5 dates for 2013... and he say he's gonna recommend me to another pub....

Let's hope Stuart Zender is on the cards ;o)

None at all with my set up..... and I use low D,C and B extensively in my band

I find it drives well. Be aware that as with all of these types of pedals you do have to drive the input stage hard! I use mine with a 5 string status with an 18V pre and it has a hot output so it's great for this type of pedal

I don't think Tower of Power even think they are a Funk band..... I recall them describing themselves as Urban Soul....

[quote name='Phil Starr' timestamp='1347901408' post='1806410'] thought I'd posted earlier but it doesn't seem to be here. We're looking to upgrade, we have the Laney 12 and our keyboard player had a Laney 10. they are cheap and reliable but the vocal sound is pretty poor to be honest, hence looking to upgrade. I was looking at the Wharfedale EVP's in a shop in Bristol which are well spec'ed for the price but the sales guy said the Alto's sound better, I didn't have time to check this out but if I do I'll get back to you. Our singer uses a Yamaha Stagepas 300 for her vocal monitor. Sounds good and is very compact and comes with useful mixing facilities (4 mics + 2 line) for the smaller gig. The only problem is the output is limited at 112dB which is struggling if you are very loud . Let us know how you get on [/quote] I bet you are using these - http://www.laney.co.uk/show_prod.php?prod=cxp-112 Which are pretty much like a 'my first monitor' The one's I posted would be more than adequate compared to Wharfedale and Alto

Cheers... I saw that Pic Spoombung, though we don't build anything that big any more

Cheers guys!

Sorry guys its still on the cards.... I'm a bit swamped with the PA product range at the moment. Unfortunately it's taken precidence over the back line products. I will be looking to get combo's out to people but I cannot say when just now. Apologies to those that have shown interest. Please bear with me. Jay

These would easily compete.... and you get a 5 year warranty http://shop.whatpa.co.uk/laney-cx12a-12-active-165w-speaker-2241-p.asp

We like the Camp Golfer look....

[quote name='Spoombung' timestamp='1345801683' post='1781658'] Not a great pic, but here's a shot from rehearsal yesterday. Note my 'vintage' amp sits astride my new prize. Oh, yes, you can hear it live at our gig at the Buffalo bar on Wednesday 5th Sept: [url="http://www.buffalobar.co.uk/listing/2012/09/05/guided-missile-presents/"]http://www.buffaloba...ssile-presents/[/url] Dude... can I nick this for the HH facebook page?

Literally have just walked in the door from spending the day at PLASA catching up with some old friends and clients. Have to say what a poor turn out this year was.... will be glad when it moves to Excel next year.... at least it will only be three stops on the train for me then. Nothing really to talk about from the manufacturers... this caught my eye and is now on my shopping list - http://www.allen-heath.com/uk/Products/pages/ProductDetails.aspx?catId=ICE16&ProductId=ICE16&SubCatId=

My boss Lyndon has a lot of ties to the Brum and Black Country music scene... http://www.laney.co.uk/history.php

Depends on the size of venue.... we have six but sometimes rent in extras... I'll try and post some pictures

We use GDS Liteware. Not cheap but it's powerful, wireless and IP rated so safe for use for those outdoor gigs http://www.gds.uk.com/gds-products/liteware

[quote name='spinynorman' timestamp='1346970571' post='1795639'] What about berets? Seems to be the headgear of choice for blues bass players and jobbing members of Jethro Tull. And the US Olympic team. [/quote] .......... and Frank Spencer Tributes..... and Curiosity Killed the Cat Tributes....
