Edit turned into double post. Shagging forum upgrades.

Give yourself a week to put together a band for the Jan gig before canceling. That gig is your trump card to recruit real players quickly. Singers and drummers are usually the hardest to find. I'd take a so so singer way before a dodgy drummer.

That's plenty enough reason to give this 'band' away, even if he was on course and pleasant.

There's going to be at least one with some spare time soon!

There must be plenty of bands available in January. Better to let it go now when guitar hero shows zero inclination to fix his lack of appreciation of form. He isn't going to come around so you would be serving up trainwrecks if you persist.

Not really. Outrage is a strong word. Why not back it up with some real numbers to clarify where you might start to get miffed?

Hyperbole by lack of maths? I wouldn't be too interested in a gig that only paid 200 anyway. A 500 quid gig that they wanted 125 out of instead of 100 I might feel left out depending what else I had going on.

For my money I would just put the Elf in a cupboard to damp the fan noise.

Tonight I am jumping in and barely holding up my jazz end. The guy who was lined up for the gig turned out to be antivax and the bar won't let him in. I got the call on Tuesday night. The band is incredibly appreciative and don't seem to notice the bum note and clanger rate is awful. If there's any chin stroking going on it will be of the 'that ain't jazz' variety. They are probably going to tell me turn up. Troubling to me there's a cover charge on the door to keep out riffraff non real jazz fans and pay the band.

That's a tough one. What's it worth as a going one? Needing fixing 3 times previously doesn't speak well for the repairs. You would have to wonder what else might be on the way out that isn't on the main board, but maybe nothing and they are correct that it will be better than new. £200 might be a good deal. Still a fair chunk of change. Other deal where they keep it and give you £100 off something you fancy?

Orher way around. A lower number = higher sensitivity.

Most of the last eighteen months has been incredibly difficult to navigate band practices. Plus

What rock have you been living under? They would have had long enough between kickoff and the world going to hell in a handbasket to have done something but I can understand a project stalling out in the meantime. It's not fun. There's no gigs. The music isn't there. 2/3 is survivable but 0/0 = bail yesterday. You already gave it your best shot at getting guitar hero to act like a musician and he's still thinking he's the rockstar. There's no way to fire him without losing the singer. Try to hang onto the drummer.

OP decided already already.

What are the cabs and drivers in them? If you're lucky you might have an option of rewiring the cabs to 16ohm each. Needs a strong amp for when you use the one cab but that's not uncommon.

A joker doing a concert in a live music bar did it the best. Dude takes the stage. ''Good evening''....silence.... crowd settles down....silence.... crowd settles down some more...... silence... just one table still jibber jabbering.......................... actual silence. ''You done yet?'' Round of applause. Gig starts.

Sorta. It didn't work. I pressed it again. It worked. Twice.

Hell's bells. As the gig finder you have the power. Exercise it to the max. Demand the issues are resolved immediately or you are going to cancel to give the client time to find another band that has its kaka together.

Am I wrong to size up the band as a 50 something bassist hanging with 20 somethings?

A bit rich considering you effectively 'left him at the truck stop with the singer' and he's only just realized what's up. And if any Admin is watching, this double up occurred from quoting a selection while on the previous page.

I wouldn't have lasted a month with that.

A newfangled 12'' wipes the floor with any old 15 if you give it enough wattage, in a cab you can throw farther than you can spit.

If you didn't try a different amp with the cable and cab then you are still at square one of trouble shooting. Test the amp with a good cable and cab before looking to fix the amp.

I think you need to edit the thread title to include the word SOLVED in there.
