All the very best, lovely photos!

always funded my gas through gigging, 75 P bass? 10 gigs thank you, Ampeg SVT-CL? 7 gigs thank you very much, always justify my needs by working for it.

Kelsey Gonzalez on bass, fantastic. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ferZnZ0_rSM

3K Gennie will be fine with your rig, so long as no valves are involved

I had a band that broke up when kids came along in the early 2000's, shame cos we weren't too bad at all, origionals, a record out etc but thats to be expected. Now its 3 old farts in our late 40s, early 50's, kids now teenagers, playing covers in the pubs, a little following, 7 years and counting, it gets easier with advancing years

just wow...never heard of him before, what a band, amazing

get yourself a tube preamp DI monster like this sucka, leave the big stuff behind at the smaller gigs and keep you & mr soundman happy at Madison square gardens http://www.davehallamps.co.uk/page53a.html

once bitten, no way back...

[quote name='Geek99' timestamp='1497250728' post='3316726'] Back home now after an eight hour day Huge thanks to the builders at premiere inn for making my disabled child run the gauntlet of all their noise despite me asking them repeatedly to stop just long enough for us to enter the building without her being in obvious distress And they used all the disabled spaces as well. everyday [/quote] Thats not good Hope you complain to them, sorry to hear that.

We tried backing "atmospherics" triggered from a drum pad with the drummer a couple of years ago, think air raid sirens from "war pigs", cop car siren for "stone cold crazy", helicopters for "fortunate son" and moody moog in E for the opening of "Xanadu". It all sounded pretty good IMO but we got fed up with yet another piece of kit to set up and the punters probably didn't notice or care and it made no difference to the bottom line...

[quote name='mep' timestamp='1496859492' post='3314361'] 2 of our favourite venues too. I've been meaning to catch your band. Will pop along to the coach house on the 23rd. [/quote] come and say Hi, Im the good looking one, you'll see..its obvious!

[quote name='Conan' timestamp='1496745911' post='3313554'] I would probably agree with this - although that longevity comes at a pretty high price. I've tried loads of brands over the years (Rotosound, Elites, Newtone, D'Addario, DR, Picato, Dean Markley, Lakland, LaBella, Warwick, Fender, Ernie Ball...), but now I use [url="https://www.thomann.de/gb/harley_benton_valuestrings_bassguitar_medium.htm?ref=search_rslt_bass+strings_213107"]these[/url]. Cheap as chips, but they feel good, sound good and last pretty well. To be honest, at a fiver a set you can afford to change them after every gig if you choose to, but I find that they are easily rejuvenated after a soak in ethanol. In fact, they can stand up to this several times before they need to be binned. Well worth a try, although the shipping costs mean that unless you add them to a more expensive Thomann order, you pay a lot to get them here. [/quote] these are also my choice for gigging, last set I put on have lasted 4 gigs plus weekly rehersals, still got some zing, less than £5 a set, madness not to buy half a dozen and see how it goes!

yep Exeter is your place for all things 4 & 6 string related (Mansons), Torbay is sadly now non existant for geetar shops, teignmouth has a little one thats not bad. If live music is your thing theres loads of pubs doing live music at the weekends, I can recommend the Coach House in Paignton, The Queens Arms in Brixham, (we're playing there this Sat ) and several places in Torquay itself, have a look here https://www.lemonrock.com/advancedsearchvenues.php?gigcityId=Torquay%2C+Devon+TQ1&EC_gigcityId=52152&maxMilesVenue=25&venuetypename=pub&venuename=&isAnchorSearch=0&isAnchorSearch=1&venuegigschedule=1&isVenueMember=0&isVI=0&isVTel=0&isEmV=0&isVPh=0&isVU18=0&isMap=0&entPolicyId=0&venSearchType=0&accMask=0&a=search

Right ive just phoned and emailed 20 pubs in the last 2 hours with links to FB, Lemonrock and youtube exhausting...I know me bands ok but what a ba**ache this is, every year, always me, busting a gut to get gigs, the other 2 lazy gits don't lift a finger. I'll be lucky to get 1 or 2 gigs from all this work. I hate it Rant over...

[quote name='TimR' timestamp='1496609629' post='3312732'] You can't stop them coming up and talking to you. Unless you effect a razor wire fence, which isn't always possible in your local. You can get rid of them quickly by saying that you'll have a word with the band and see what you can do. That'll get rid of them for 30mins or so. Hopefully by then they've forgotten. [/quote] This, no point being rude, they are indirectly paying the wages

Thats a shame, fretless bass guitar maybe?

Thats a frankly ridiculous price.

if its a pub gig, ring up the day before pretending to be a punter and ask who's playing tomorrow night, might save a journey.

Hey Phil are you using those AKG D5's? We have front facing wedges and don't get any feedback, the odd pissed punter falling into us yes, but no feedback
