An ability to switch your brain off, a good book and a sense of humour is required, but won't stop you going mad. Make sure everyone washes! You must be organised and playing music that makes it worthwhile. Get that right and there's nothing better.[/quote] Wise words indeed......

Nice!!!,,, yes keep us posted on this one !!!

If it didnt work,,, ie,, not fit for purpose,,,, yeah,, course you are entitled to your money back,,,

and too prove a point,,,,, the first guitar,,,, of Mr George Harrison,,, wasnt great eh !!!!

No brainer really,,,our crack conveters have at least 5 basses under £50, that, with a set up and strings,, would beat a lot made by fender in the 70,s ! ,,,,,,never mind a 60,s budget.....

Doc,,,, your just bad!!!!!!!! Tell me the truth,,,, do I get rid of those EMG,s in the Jazz????

[quote name='bassicinstinct' post='918917' date='Aug 8 2010, 05:34 PM']He is, indeed, a top fellah. We did the Gunthorpe one last year and I have to say that the Sound Crew, given the 15 minute turn arounds and diversity of the bands who were playing the date, were nothing short of brilliant and a pleasure to work with. Apologies for kidnapping the thread!! [/quote] No worries from me,,,,agree about how good some of these guys are,,,,, the Butlins crews are bloody first class !!

Nope,,, not us that one.... The guy that runs the fake festivals seems a top bloke,,, but venues are booking so far in advance are we usually miss out cos were booked,, ,, was just hoping someone else was playing so we could have a "basschat"

[url="http://blondieuk.com/"]http://blondieuk.com/[/url] Dude this is our outfit.... went for nealy ten years as "heart of glass" but re-badged with a couple of new members etc... Luckily the singer and drummer are the same cos they really shine ..

Cor,, come off it guvnor,,,,,have to earn a crust dont I ?? seriously tho,,,the two vip jacuzzis swung it for me !

Daft head......

[quote name='Ian Savage' post='918477' date='Aug 8 2010, 12:15 AM']My intial thought is that they must have a hell of a vocalist! Yeah, as previous posters have said, get as close as you can to everything, but do your homework most on the ones that have definite endings on record so that you can some spend rehearsal time nailing the ends of fade-out songs. I find that usually someone's got to give a signal that the last four bars/two bars/bar/end is coming, and it's usually the singer or the drummer, so work those out early in rehearsal and make a note on the setlist...[/quote] Hey yeah,, thought the same,,,,especially if he/she is sticking to all the original keys,,, looks a good set tho,,,the ol flea bassline "in you oughta know" is great fun to play......

Played a Warners Hotel last night in Sommersett,,, great night ,,,, drove down from Hull, did the gig,, and drove home again......long bloody way... Why oh why are agents struggling to double up these days??

[url="http://www.tribfest.co.uk/"]http://www.tribfest.co.uk/[/url] Looks fun....

Unsure of the exact model,, (sonic2, perhaps) I had,, looked identical to this tho and 300w,,,, used it with a marshal cab and it was sweet,,,,, kicked ass in fact,,, The Warwick blog says it can cover a loud drummer,,, so dunno if you have a problem somewhere??

Order placed,,,, cheers guys,,,, exellent service and highly recommended.....
