[quote name='stingrayPete1977' timestamp='1495575667' post='3305071'] What would you be tweaking? Once the in ears he is using are set and the foh is mixed there shouldn't be any on the fly really should there? [/quote] shouldn't be, but i always find i might need a little more mids or bass, or less, or some more DI as the gig progresses, take off the compression for quieter moments etc, most of which I can control from my DI/EQ pedal, but maybe some folks just setup and go and don't need to change things during a gig, rarely happens for me.

would be interesting trying to tweak your sound on the fly going direct into the X18, the interface on a tablet is tricky as f**k, I'll stick with my DI box thanks!

i use the Ampeg SVT-CL Gain at 12 0'clock, Volume at 11 (o'clock! ), bass at about 10 o'clock, mids at 2 and treble at 12. I also have a DHA VT-2 EQ preamp, its always on, I can control the volume and grind with the volume and tone knobs on the bass, I always roll off a quarter turn on the bass volume, to keep a little in the tank if things get louder.

result, great pedals!

take the hearing aid out and wear the plugs, you dont want any more ampllification than normal, Ive made that mistake, once.

with a six piece, you probably better off looking at the wedding/corporate market rather than the dog and duck, not much room to set up usually and the pay will be poor split 6 ways, even im my 3 piece it works out at about £12 an hour by the time you take into account all the driving and setting up, beer money really.

Nothing to do with me but woth a read! https://www.facebook.com/pg/WolvertonWorkingMensSocialClub/reviews/

oo lovely Id get this if I had the dosh http://classicandcoolguitars.co.uk/portfolio/musicman-sabre-bass/

yep 410 should be enough surely? If you're lucky enough to gig bigger venues, you would go through the PA anyway.

[quote name='radiophonic' timestamp='1493552432' post='3289048'] Wretched. Low audience turnout. Bad acoustics. Bad sound all round. Monitoring was a mess (= unhappy singer), FOH had way too much Bass and Drums in it (I know, because I recorded it). Guitar and organ just seemed to vanish from the mix somehow. I wanted to be somewhere else for the middle third of it at least. Zero vibe and everyone really cheesed off. It was the kind of evening that makes me wonder whether playing original material is worth the effort at all. The only thing that saved my desperation was that the quite decent, upbeat and well rehearsed covers band who followed us got no applause either, so it wasn't [i]just[/i] us. Everyone had a s****y night. [/quote] we had a really poor turnout last night as well, due in part to the boxing methinks

[quote name='AndyTravis' timestamp='1493546234' post='3288999'] Some noteable reasons from my mixed bag of bands 1) hated the singer 2) had two bands on the go, one was much busier (was singer in this band and played guitar, hated it at the time) 3) tired of not being at home 4) singer was a drunk/drug abuser 5) two singers both did my nut in, took a better paying gig 6) singer wasn't my cup of tea, personality clash, hated the set [/quote] you got vocalitis?!!!!

[quote name='FinnDave' timestamp='1493474146' post='3288616'] Don't like the sound of that, I'll be in south Devon next week, should I pack some Morris-repellent spray? [/quote] long sleeves shoud be ok, and weirdly they don't like patches with words like AC/DC on the back of jackets

[quote name='sprocketflup' timestamp='1492455671' post='3280442'] Try popping along to Sidmouth folk week, where theres dozens of the merry jangly buggers bashing the living daylights out of much willow as they can get their hands on. A bit scary, in an odd sort of way. [/quote] we're playing there this year, should drown out that folkie tosh! As for Morris Dancers, there's millions of the the f*&%^$s around here (south Devon) can't move for em around May bank Holidays, like swatting away flies, I have a strict opinion of em!

just bought a looper pedal off Dunc. Paid for it Wednesday, arrived Friday! Totally friendly and cool guy, buy with utmost confidence.

[quote name='SpcMnk' timestamp='1493102603' post='3285525'] Something completely different from Saigon Kick. Think they called it Acid Jazz [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ANGjklqwP6o&list=PL78321FCC6823E64F"]https://www.youtube....8321FCC6823E64F[/url] [/quote] best Mother Earth Track IMO https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YXKAZur059I&index=2&list=PLFF1D6EC45AFF14B1

[quote name='Yukimajou' timestamp='1493228042' post='3286759'] I do tend to avouid mansons as they seem to have a policy of overcharging on everything! I use Project Mucis in Exeter, a much friendlier place that charge realistically. [/quote] welcome from Teignmouth! If you check out the used section in Mansons, there are some bargains to be had, I find Project musics bass selection pretty dire TBH

Thought Beth Ditto awful ( a third rate Joplin wana bee), The Faro Island thing utter pants, Robert Cray merely ok, Jain from France rather good and LP (laura Pergolizzi) very good, oh, and the Amazons, the less said the better!

I thought I would let everyone know we are HEADLINING the Blackawton Worm charming Festival, with a free watering can as stipulated on the Rider. Made it at last! http://www.wormcharming.co.uk/ https://www.facebook.com/wormcharmingblackawton?fref=ts

I think they might be called "showcases" these days!

The coolest bass player of all time, Garys got a broken string and cozy on drums, utter classic.

we play a pub with the same problem, especially with the sub. We moved the sub off the wooden stage and placed it on the concrete/carpet one next to the stage, maybe something similar could be done with your cab? Don't know what your monitoring situation is like though.

remember this from the soundtrack to a porno i saw in about 1982

[quote name='Bill Fitzmaurice' timestamp='1491231651' post='3271394'] Nor should it, the SVT being 300 watts. But that's about all the excursion of the Ampeg drivers will allow. [/quote] Now Im confused, those 300 watts are tube watts and a hell of a lot louder than any solid state amp Ive had (up to 1400 watt power amp. 800 watt SWR etc) but thats another thread!

I've abandoned my rig when we gig the small pubs purely down to lack of space and the b*llache of lugging it in and out of vans and venues. So now I DI from my DHA preamp pedal into the PA ( xair 18, RCF tops, monitors and a Mackie sub), sounds great, loooads less hassle to set up.
