Sorry but putting your foot on the monitor (even Mr Harris) is lame

I don't do it , but don't think there should be a law against it ?
Rehearsals for me are more about song structure confidence and making sure guitar and keys are covering whats required in the song etc volume is not required though in a small room it's often dictated by the drum kit
All knowledge is good
I have made a choice not to put time into it as I enjoying my covers functions work which I can do without much theory and have to many other things going on in my mid life.
Roll back the clock and I'll tell my teenage self to study it of course
If you do repeat venues you could inform them of price increase if your confident that it's still viable to those booking you. For one off functions just as in any business you need to be sure your fee is attractive
What kind of gigs you doing ?
Whilst there's all kinds of performances , from the shadows walk to the axe position and they all have there place , I do find people on stage just being themselves very entertaining , that could be someone who loves jumping around and sticking thier tongue out to a shy but talented person standing very still doing their thing.

I look all white but my dad was black
No joke
Often 2 , my favourite 4 string and one for a few that require drop D , either my 5 or a D tuned 4
Once did a gig on medium sized public hall stage and the guitarist brought so much gear the rest of us shared 50% of the stage , he got there early and we couldn't be bothered to argue
Yep, they've played it a lot , he's a versatile and talented guy old Shaky
There was a great documentary about him a while back, he certainly paid his low level gigging dues before he got commercial success

Were the late '90s a good period for Stingrays?

I don't know the consensus , but I'm very pleased with it, it's exactly what I wanted , flea bridge, string mutes etc

As a funk player would he. maybe want more "twang" when slapping the E-A and calm the twang on the popping on the D-G ?

That's the bass
Maybe for twang , but not sure he slaps that much
His ESP has reversed p pickups also , might be some reasoning on thier literature?
