My Aunt also keeps her grand piano in the lounge. The violins, basson amd oboe are in the dining room. To be honest I think musical instruments should be kept in the music room, that leaves the dining room, lounge, drawing room and library free for their intended purposes.

I think the "Oh wow, a woman playing a bass" sentiment is still too prevalent, and certainly being played on here. Suzi Quatro and "the girl who played for Robbie Williams" (Yolanda Charles) at a stretch, would be the only two the general public would be aware of. Very sad really.

The problem is a PA is physical item that has monetary value. The storing, transport, setting up and operating are invisible costs of time and can probably be offset if someone has a big enough house. I've known people storing PAs in their hallway. My wife would go mad. I went down the line of buying a PA and hiring it to the band for each gig and that was budgeted into gigs. For that I made sure everything was replaced when broken or when anything went missing. It went a bit wrong when after a few years the drummer said they must have paid for the PA by now and started complaining about 'his' £10 per gig. Pointing out that I'd spent afternoon's sourcing and replacing tweeters and fixing broken speaker stands, fell on deaf ears..

Don't feed the troll.

The last girl to join was accused of being AI. 🤷‍♂️

I think that will heal well. I shut my right mouse finger in my toolbox on Sunday. It's cut and sore and frustrating as I have a lot of cutting and pasting at work. No playing for a week or so.

They used to be my goto place to get anything. I honestly thought they'd stopped trading a long time ago, they certainly never came up near the top in any searches. Gear4music and Amazon seem to have cornered the Web market. They used to send out a hard printed catalogue every year. Seems they moved to Luton which would explain why their shop on the North Circular had disappeared.

When you play/sing arranged music it's very important you stick exactly to the arrangement. The human brain is very good at interpreting and misremembering things. No matter how good you think you are and how closely you think you're playing a song to how you originally learned it, it will morph over time. That's especially relevant to bands who are playing covers as everyone slightly adapts their arrangements to fit the instrumentation lineup and the ability of the players. Don't position a music stand between you and the audience is my only rule. You're creating a physical and visual barrier between you and them. It's only really obvious from photos because you're peering over the stand, and can see the whole audience. The reverse is not true.

I think the playing since she was 7 is key here. Most of us (all?) come from a time where you weren't taught electric instrument, you bought your first electric guitar when you were 15 and joined a band and learned in your bedroom. Couple that with the fact shes actually 26 years old, older than she looks and there's obviously a lot of marketing going on here. A young bass player suddenly appearing on the scene isn't normal, regardless of gender. Usually it's singer songwriters on guitars. Personally, I think that wikipedia article needs a lot of work. It doesn't really fit the Wikipedia guidelines, there's a lot of dressing up and wooliness, it reads like a typical stage bio/CV.

Bryn Davies. Along with her many studio and side projects, Davies currently tours with Darrell Scott, Jack White and Scott Miller. Davies has lived in Knoxville, Tennessee since 2014 and received a bachelor's degree in Nuclear Engineering from the University of Tennessee in 2019. As of 2020 she is employed as a safety engineer at the Y-12 National Security Complex in Oak Ridge, Tennessee and continues to play bass as a sideline to her new career instead of as a full-time profession.

Carole Kay plays an Ibanez SRX700. Which were about £850 in 2006 Blu is all over my socials at the moment. I don't understand why anyone would be famous for being a bass player, unless they'd got countless recordings under their belt or been in a famous band for a long time. I see Daisy Pepper quite a bit. She plays with a few of the local musos. She's streets ahead of many bass players I know, she has a DarkGlass endorsment but she's not driving the socials as well as Blu.

Oh yes. Google and other ISPs are now insisting Name, SPF and MX records etc being bullet proof to stop spoofing etc. Your ISP should have been keeping you updated on those requirements.

It's the temperature change that will affect whether the water condenses or not. If the room is sealed and the temperature drops you'll get condensation. If it's ventilated there's a good chance the fabric of the room will follow the temperature of the air in the room. As mentioned above, the warm air will rise, if you ventilate that warm air will escape.

"Above Dew Point". If you're heating the space to work in, and then letting it get cold - that's a rapid temperature swing.

The Greene King thing is well known and there's at least one thread here on the "Concur" expenses system or whatever they use. We lost a nights pay because the drummer threw a strop about not getting cash, got involved and gave them his email (we already had the singer dealing with it all) and then deleted all the following emails.

Yes. Twice at Covent Garden and once at Park Royal. Packed the places out each time - but somehow "no one had come to see us", despite everyone being given "tickets" outside to give in as they entered forthe vunue to assign numbers to. So we lost our pay and our deposit. Properly ripped off. After that we hired our own venues and sold tickets ourselves.

Humidity is relative. As the room warms up, the air will absorb more moisture, and then when it cools down, the water will condense on any surface. You can not keep humidity out unless you keep the space above dewpoint temperature. That's why "living" spaces must now all conform to building regs and planning permission. If you haven't insulated, ventilated, and kept the space heated, you will get problems.

The JOYO Double Thruster is a Darkglass B3K clone depending on which Darkglass pedal you've already tried.

Saw this and someone wit had commented that they'd be good warm up act for Oasis.

A few bands ago, one of the guitarists turned out to be quite deaf, a bit doddery and not very well dressed. I thought I could put up with it as the singer and the drummer were very good and the other guitarist was reasonable. Then the singer was asked to leave as there were issues with his attitude. The whole thing eventually was solved when the drummer moved house out of the area and I made my excuses as we now had no singer and no drummer, and I moved on (well, I was already playing with a couple of other bands anyway so wasn't too big a step). So you do have the option of leaving. I'm not a fan of sacking musicians, it kind of marks you as being a bit arrogant and above the others if it's just a hobby band. Have any audience members or bookers said anything? Are they playing badly? Missing sections, playing wrong notes, slowing down as the night progresses, ordering hot chocolate at the bar...

Ambleton? You'll have to be using USB-MIDI converters somewhere in the system to drive the video software.
