Hi all Does anyone know of a good way to label up mic cables at a reasonable cost ? I'm taking more cables to gigs now and want to avoid losing them, as everyone's cables are black. i'd like to buy different coloured cables over the next few months i.e. blue for FOH, red for monitors etc, but I wouldn't mind keeping the mic leads black. Anyone know of a way to label up ? Thanks for reading BC EBC

Try this ! does a brilliant job http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/TECHNOFRET-Advanced-Fret-Leveling-System-/180677890090?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item2a113dd02a#ht_984wt_958

[quote name='skankdelvar' timestamp='1414967974' post='2595253'] Clarinettist 'Acker' Bilk died today 02/11/14. Older BC-ers will recall his pleasant, vibrato-laden style, the quality of which Mr Bilk ascribed to having two teeth bashed out when a child and losing half a finger in a sledging accident. Mr Bilk's was the generation shunted aside by the Beatles and the Stones; no one would call his music 'challenging'. Yet Mr Bilk never lost his pleasant charm and enjoyed modest commercial success long after his early 1960's peak. Mr Bilk enjoyed a close association with that school of British jazzers who were the last to trouble the popular music charts with their hummable tunes. While the mainstream of British jazz hurled itself into the abyss of self-regarding, unlistenable tripe from which it has never climbed Mr Bilk continued to fill seaside theatres and town halls around the country. Polite, cheerful and unassuming he was among the last of his kind. Here's 'Acker' Bilk's rather lovely #1 USA hit [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7jzx664u5DA[/media] [/quote] Well said Skank. Another one of the old guard gone, their generation laid the foundation stones we built on RIP and thank you Acker

Have a look at some mic stand bags ?

The news has put my chin on the table. Working out Jack's bass lines to Cream songs launched my bass playing in a new direction as a young teenager. I'm stunned. Thank you Jack, for so much RIP

Not only did the singer come in early for the second verse in the recording studio, they left it in the finished version, which is still class [url="http://youtu.be/D2zWXpdZo8g"]http://youtu.be/D2zWXpdZo8g[/url]

[quote name='tks.se' timestamp='1412443655' post='2569019'] Just about to write something a little more cryptic, but guess the information is already out Yes, Bass Gear will get a batch of cabinets sent to them, probably during next week. You can contact them if you're interested in going over and test a few cabinets. More information about this is coming next week. [/quote] Here we go, I can see a trip out West on the cards ....

Just bought a pedal from Andy. As everyone else has said, Andy took good care with everything and followed up to check it arrived ok. Clearly someone that takes the time to give the best, which really does encourage trust. Thanks Andy Tom

I'm looking to get some better cabs later this year / early next year and would really like to hear these. Any plans to come down London way ?

For any given piece, you could work on building verstility with finger patterns i.e 1+2, to 2+3 etc. This will enable you to spread the workload across the hand, giving short rests to areas of the hand as you go.

Try a BAPAM practitioner, they'll guide you right they're medical practitioners (doctors, physios and more etc) that sort out ailments for people of the performing arts Best wishes for finding a quick effective solution to your problem

Enjoy yourself, it's later than you think !

Played a charity gig this year for our band's ex drummer. His cousin was in the audience for the evening - Dave Peacock, who stood next to me on stage saying his bit. An evening I won't forget in a hurry

[quote name='skankdelvar' timestamp='1407686761' post='2523009'] Here in Blighty we forget that Herman's Hermits were a [i]humungous[/i] act in the States. In our mental odds'n'sods drawer they languish alongside Freddie and The Dreamers, Marmalade, the Dave Clark Five and many other acts who enjoyed fleeting UK fame then ended up on the 1970's 'chicken-in-a-basket' circuit. Good that Mr Noone's still out there and glad that Blue had a rewarding evening. [/quote] +1, Well summarised Skank

[quote name='Merton' timestamp='1361377223' post='1984990'] Bought one of Marco's Eden 1x12 cabs. Honestly you couldn't ask for a more impeccable service from anyone. Excellent communication from the beginning, tracking number given to me when shipped and even then Marco tracked it to the point of sending an email telling me it was out for delivery. Brilliant. Can't wait to try the cab, it looks even better in flesh than it did in the photos. [/quote] Quoted Merton here, as his experience reflects mine. I bought a Thunderfunk from Marco, who gave me the tracking number when the parcel left him and kept me regularly updated with tracking information as time went by. I really don't see how anyone could have done more to ensure a successful delivery. Like many on BC, I've bought more than a few bits here and there. The deal with Marco has set a new benchmark for commitment and service A credit to BC indeed

Have a look on Amazon for books by Paul White, explains a great deal

HIghly recommend BAPAM, practitioners that specialise in health related issues for performers of the arts Best wishes for a good recovery

I regularly sing Move It The band I'm in has done practically all the OP's post at one time or another and still does many of them. From the Jurrasic era me

Spoonful by Cream. Oh, endless blues jams as well....
