    :) So if I suggest something idiotic and chris has to spend hours talking you down from the idea he's going to blame me isn't he?

    personally I would be looking at this and asking Chris what he would think about making this part of the design.... http://basschat.co.uk/topic/239238-acg-eq03/page__p__2513463__hl__acg__fromsearch__1#entry2513463

    Cheers Luke, is exactly why I posted this thread, to extend ideas and see what's out there, ultimately I will be trusting Chris's judgment of course, that's why I am commissioning him as my luthier:)

    Aguilar OBP-3 pre. Find a good sweet-spot and stick a Bartolini M4 pickup there.

    That is all. ;)

    I got a modulus with the ob3 and barts which should be grrrrrrrrrrrrr heaven, but to my ears just sounds "pleasant".
    Go figure!

    I was just throwing the question out there for shits and giggles, and to ask in the best place know:) I have chosen alpher over many prospective luthiers, I considered lull, sadowsky and shuker amongst others, and having been to the sadowsky work shop NYC, and actually playing jj burnells shuker p (which is the most aggressive, resonant bass I think I have ever had the privilege to play) I am going alpher.
    Outstanding build quality
    Chris lives 10 miles from me (easy to go for a pint etc)
    I dig the alpher design.
    Just need to pull the trigger now hence this thread just kinda topping and tailing for me!

    I am very close to pulling the trigger on an alpher, and I want this mofo to have the most growly, ballsy tone achievable.. I already have a very good idea of how I want it to look, but what pick ups woods etc are gonna give the best sustain and clarity?
    Start your engines........

    I can now tap dance in a far more organised (but just as useless) manor thanks to Pete selling me his pedaltrain board. Fantastic transaction, even though I was away with work, and he even shipped it buck shee!
    What a gent.
    Cheers mate,

    Make sure the tech spec/ channel count is correct as of today. (If your mate dave, driving the van suddenly wants to get up and play tambourine it can cause issues)

    If you have any in ear monitors PLEASE include these in your spec as the frequencies will need to be compliant

    Set up as much as humanly possible BEFORE getting on stage.

    When on stage remain SILENT until asked to make a noise, and maintain eye contact with the monitor engineer as much as poss.

    I find on a busy stage the best way to get levels quickly into a monitor is for everyone together to raise your hand if u want an instrument, eg kick drum. When u have enough put your hand down. That way visual feedback for the mons guys is simple

    Do not put beer/water any where near anything electrical or cables. It sounds obvious but if camera people are wandering about, they WILL NOT see your drink.......

    Find a towel if one is not provided (they should be)

    Stick to time, if you have a 30 min slot, and you play 32, u just shafted the next band, and could be fined. Poor etiquette...
    If 8 bands all play 5 mins over then the headliner does not get to play......... Trust the stage manager, they are your friend.

    Although this sounds like the Ten Commandments, have fun and be polite. If you are inexperienced let the stage manager and crew know. They would much rather coach a band properly than deal with rock star egos, especially if the egos are clueless!!!

    NEVER GO OFF SCRIPT ( no jam endings or double choruses if not rehearsed!)

    HAVE FUN even if it's going Pete tong. The crowd might not even know,

    HAVE FUN

    HAVE FUN HAVE FUN!!!!!!!!!
