[quote name='timmo' timestamp='1457442559' post='2998575'] These songs are the bread and butter of the pub/wedding bands, so even if you hate them, it gives other people a bit of entertainment. There seems to be a lot of threads running down people who have been made rich from their music. Must be another slow day for decent topics [/quote] Not really. I play these songs far too often... as it's what people apparently want to hear. 132 wedding/corporate gigs in 2014 and these songs pretty much were staple. It's got nothing to do with slow day or running people down. Chill out a bit and enjoy the topic for what it is. You know, you don't have to participate in a thread... people aren't going to force you... and as far as I am aware, participation isn't mandatory.

Sorry! It is me going mad... I knew somewhere that its only WEP. The above is when you are connecting to an access point. This is when you are using the onboard wifi. As I originally thought, WEP only.

[quote name='FuNkShUi' timestamp='1457438106' post='2998474'] You are right. Perhaps better to sort the problem before it happens rather than after... Proactive vs Reactive and all that [/quote] Just looking at the software... I'm not too sure now... You may be able to use stronger encryption after all. I'm behind the times maybe!

[quote name='RhysP' timestamp='1457440239' post='2998519'] It probably sounds like every other sh*tty brainless w***er anthem they've every written. [/quote] You say written... you mean rehashed from The Beatles?

[quote name='RhysP' timestamp='1457440048' post='2998513'] Anything by Oasis. [/quote] Oh yes. Cue throwing of beer and drunken singing at any wedding. Awful. Wonderwall and Don't Look Back In Anger get my vote.

Spin off from other thread.... There's some songs that turn punters into absolute ass hats. [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]I Predict A Riot - Kaiser Chiefs[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Ruby - Kaiser Chiefs[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Chelsea Dagger - Fratellis[/font][/color] Mr Brightside - The Killers and from taunton-hobbit - [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Come On Eileen - Dexy's Midnight Runners[/font][/color]

I'll start a thread as to not derail this thread.

Same as I Predict A Riot, Ruby, Ruby, Ruby, Ruby....! Chelsea Dagger... Songs for meatheads. Apologies to any meatheads that may be reading. I hate playing them because they usually start trouble.

[quote name='FuNkShUi' timestamp='1457427323' post='2998287'] Ive never had a problem with the router. You can set a password on the router and that will stop others loggin onto it. I would recommend the X18 to anyone. It's been fantastic [/quote] Indeed you can. It's only WEP... which to be honest, for the average gig is going to be good enough as a deterrent but as people can probably gather, it's easily crackable with the right tools and a laptop.

[quote name='paulmcnamara' timestamp='1457391450' post='2998167'] Thanks for the info. Could one use something like Airport Express? [/quote] Airport express would be a good choice - you could use it to then airplay tunes from your iPad.

[quote name='sunburstjazz1967' timestamp='1457433141' post='2998409'] That's the one, but I'm not on face book! It must have leaked out into the ether now. [/quote] Tell the truth, you got an email from Sterling Ball with the attachment inside... subject title : heads will roll.

Does anybody buy a t bird to play up the dusty end? Same with a Hofner. I'd love to see Mark King on a violin bass. Matchsticks comes to mind.

[quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1457429803' post='2998336'] Not wanting to high-jack the thread but can someone please tell me what is so special about "Sex On Fire"? TBH I'm not really a Kings Of Leon fan. Their earlier songs were OK if nothing particularly special, but a photo of them in a music mag sporting ridiculous beards pretty much put me off investigating any further. A couple of weeks ago my girlfriend was playing their "Only By The Night" album in the car, and I got to hear Sex On Fire properly for the first time. I really don't get it. It's not the best track on the album by a long shot and not helped by the fact that the two tracks before it are far stronger songs, in terms of tunes, riff and general anthemic qualities. So what's the big deal? Why is a fairly mediocre song by a mediocre band such a crowd pleaser? [/quote] Would you say that Mustang Sally was the best cover by The Commitments? Just the way it is, I guess.

Yes, that scratch plate is a bit err... Black acrylic would be a better option. Headstock proportion is still not right - matched headstock would be preferable too as you say imho.

Not saying you suck btw!

Guess it sucks to watch your show if you are off centre of the stage.

You run stereo front of house?

[quote name='Dad3353' timestamp='1457401286' post='2998214'] Is stereo (or bi-channel..?) [i]so [/i]important for monitoring..? Does anyone [i]really [/i]go for that..? [/quote] Absolutely! An in ears mix in stereo is something to behold.

The Dingwall Thunderbird. Headstock fail.

[/quote] Or two in stereo... http://www.thomann.de/gb/behringer_x_air_xr16.htm also from same price category... XR18 will get you 6 auxes... but will also give you further capability with the P16 system.

[quote name='bassjim' timestamp='1457370515' post='2997869'] "do you think you could turn it down a bit?" to which the drummer replied very loudly from behind me: "do you think you could f*** off?" yes. it happened.......... more stories like that by the bucket........... [/quote] Ooh, I've got a good few stories like that

Pretty much available at any CCTV supplier. Some connectors are not so tight - if you find that to be the case, some tape will hold the joins together (which I always do for piece of mind anyway) or if you are very gentle with a pair of needle nose pliers (with some kitchen roll around the ends as to not burr the metal of the connector) you can squeeze them ever so slightly (and I mean slightly) so they are slightly oval - that will make the fit tight.

Maybe a Rickenbacker style headstock would set it off nicely too.

I'd never use anything but a hardcase. My Hiscox cases have served me well.
