What to do when you got mardy neighbours?

[quote name='BassTractor' timestamp='1383594280' post='2266412'] As you may expect, I'm not able to say anything about culture and reasonable expectations in the UK. But IME, in order to limit the amount of noise experienced on the other side of walls and floors, in addition to reducing the bass frequencies, the best thing is to augment your cone area, IOW to buy an extra Compact. Though it may well be that my experience is too limited, and this idea defies physics. Me, I always use two cabs, one placed in ear height when I stand, and one in ear height when I sit (leaving just enough space between them for the amp to sit). I then play sitting/standing within one yard from them, them pointing directly at me. When I check with the neighbours (my ex and my daughter), they'll always tell that they hardly heard me, and it wasn't annoying at all. Of course my ex isn't a grumpy stranger, and also she herself is guilty of playing a classical guitar every now and then (which I wisely do not criticise ). [/quote] such scandinavian sensibleness! Wouldn't work here! -

ok so i feel for you but honestly, you are in a no win situation. Your neighbour has the high ground in the eyes of the landlord and there will be absoloutely nothing you can do about it. Practice at home through headphones or a very small practice amp and save the noise for rehersals with the band, why do you need to use it at home anyway? I have a 700w amp, 1 x 15 and 4 x 10 sitting around at home but practice and learn material at home through a 15w practice amp and give it welly once a week at the village hall and every weekend at gigs? Your neighbours will just think Jaco is a din and probably love "Strictly"...gotta comprimise buddy, sorry.... -
Good Choice with the GK, and congratulations for wading through so much navel gazing and oneupmanship from the usual suspects !

I am cab-less! Also, I know what I'm ordering now!

but the clarinet might be going through an all tube head? -
well Im lucky enough to own an 82 JV squier which in its day was a budget alternative to the fender. The fact that these have become a bit collectable probably tells you all you need to know about the squier brand and their quality control. I know theres a few dogs out there (like fenders) but by and large they're quality kit on a shoestring budget.

well perhaps, but i was more than happy to let her have a quick fiddle on the thunderstick even if she was crap. -
So i splashed out on one of those 2i2 scarletts on here 2nd hand £75 it works great but, and its a big but, does not like my old PC, (100 quid second hand windows XP), so make sure you're running a decent laptop/PC/Mac etc. [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/218012-best-audio-interface-2nd-hand-for-under-l100/page__fromsearch__1"]http://basschat.co.uk/topic/218012-best-audio-interface-2nd-hand-for-under-l100/page__fromsearch__1[/url]

Did I mention the limiter? Ooops forgot that bit, that went off at the sound check which prompted panic from the (2 weeks new landlady), re routed the mains to under the dartboard, covered the mic input with gaffa tape and put the band banner over the green/yellow/red strength indicator, christ, what a night. -

T'was better when we sent the little scamps up chimmneys TBH, I know I would appreciate a little less screeching and bickering around my house. -
So at last nights gig at a particularly sh*te pub, there's these 2 rather lovely very skinny but generously upfronted (?) girls, very drunk, dancing when one goes up to the guitarist/singer and shouts mid way through a song (like they always do) if she can sing. He smiles and shakes his head, so she moves on to the drummer and yells if she can have a go on the sticks. He shakes his head, she takes one look at yours truly and just walks away... charming. The girlfriend of said guitard then throws a punch at skinny girl and all hell breaks loose, guitarist amp dies and we set of the smoke alarm with the new haze machine, all for £60 each in a storm. Rock n Roll.

How much would you charge?
skidder652003 replied to EuropeanBassPlayer's topic in General Discussion
250 euros per day seems fair as its going to publication, your travel and accommodation expenses are immaterial. 10am to 7pm is a long day. Im a humble painter and decorator in my other life and that pays 150 euros (in pounds) per day so as a professional musician/ sound engineer with a degree? Charge 250.. -
