Think NY’s bassist is on his fourth bass 🤔

….and it’s sublime

Young’s lot finally get their BVs together 👍

Magic, band feels like it’s from the 70’s

Ezra Collective 👍🙏❤️

....and what a voice 👍

Outstanding 🙏

Nothing between $279 and $3299?

Looking at the site it's an odd range, either stupidly cheap or (perhaps) stupidly expensive?

I simply don't associate the Peavey brand with expensive. Well built, functional, reliable, yes, but I suspect that anyone looking to spend that much money would have too much (US-built) choice to opt for the Peavey?

This 100%

Gigged my Ashdown Drophead 200 head with a Mesa 1x15 and Mesa 16 (1x10, 2x6) and if bandmates and audience are to be believed, the effect in the room was at times visceral. The Drophead is not the most versatile of units by comparison with my Mesa heads, but it does has something rather special lurking in the glass 👍

....I'd also let her know in no uncertain terms that, having first spoken to your solicitor, you will within the bounds of the law name and shame on social media

Gigged it Sunday, the set required the drummist to hear pretty much every word of the singer, and it worked rather nicely 👍

I'd get @d_g to do a light relic finish so that the bass retains a sense of 'well-played but generally well-maintained '74....', he's somewhere between a scientist and an artist when it comes to finishes 👍

I couldn't agree more, especially the final sentence re the arts. I found myself in exactly that spot a few years back and it was not a happy place. It's why if you go into business you really do need to study the science or principles of going into business beforehand

There are tales on BC and Talkbass of lutheirs who fail catastrophically, and reading some of the tales I can't escape the feeling that many of them failed because they didn't have a good understanding of how things might look in two years time if they proceed on their present trajectory, for example, promised timelines, post-sale care etc. Working methods/T7Cs that work fine when you have 10 orders can fail disastrously when you have 15 Either way, good luck @Silky999

Intuitively yes, but not if the seller is a business

Electricity and water, read the above? If you're going ahead and rain's a possibility, get an expert in to check the circuits and supply, check your insurance (esp public liability), and veer on the side of caution. BTW I did call off one of the gigs referred to in the original post, which was a birthday party for a friend which ended up as to all intents an acoustic singalong under a gazebo in torrential rain

We had a similar thing happen with what looks like a similar type of operation Steve (large community arts centre). They did it in a slightly different way, that is every person we spoke to directed us to someone else. When we found the person responsible for payment they tried the 'Your quote wasn't in the correct form' thing. IIRC our singer just persisted, went to everyone about it (local council etc), and after a couple of months we got paid. What really annoyed us was the the gig was rammed, with the businesses in the space itself (food, bars, retail) telling us they'd never had such a large crowd in, in fact one of them ran out of food, but the people who run the place are just creating bad PR for those businesses by ensuring that bands like our will never play there again 😡 Hope you get it sorted Steve
