    I've done quite a few high level amateur theatre productions. The exact arrangements have varied from show to show, but the most common setup is that the MD is positioned so that they can see the stage and see what's going on. The cast can also obviously see the MD too, and there's usually also a large TV screen somewhere visible from the stage so that everyone on stage can easily see the MD. The band normally have in ears, and each person gets a mini mixer so they can configure their own mix as they want. The MD normally has a talkback mic so that they can let the band know when the cue is coming up. In general, the tunes are played as written, but there will often be vamp sections which are open repeats to cover stuff happening on stage which might take longer than expected. These are agreed with the band during the band call/dress rehearsal. Sometimes there's click tracks too - if stuff goes wrong while there's a click track happening things can get... interesting!

    Bump for Peggy, my biggest influence and a thoroughly decent chap. I’d also like to nominate Mick for Basschat librarian/archivist.

    Played one on Sunday with a mate as a duo, me on acoustic, him on his Tele. We did Sonnet (the Verve), Jean Genie (me and him used to be in a Bowie tribute band) and Sit Down by James as a tribute to a close friend who died recently and someone we had done numerous gigs with. It was his favourite song. The whole pub joined in and most of us had tears in our eyes at the end. Hopefully a fitting tribute to a remarkable man. RIP Brian Lund

    Remember that "settings at noon" is everything but flat. This is true with nearly every amp. For some reason people believe that the "noon" setting is really flat. You need to explore the possibilities as well as the limits of your amp by turning the pots bravely to their limits. BEWARE: you may find new and interesting sounds from your machine.

    Yoy could even add another J pickup to the bridge position. Talk about supercharge.

    Sorry to hear so many people have been having a hard time. Take the time you need to be kind to yourselves and work through it. Not a vintage year here either tbh. My brother was diagnosed with stage 4 sarcoma, my mother in law had two strokes and most recently pneumonia. As already said, these are tough times when you’ve got relatives in the later part of their lives and trying to cope with the complexities of that. As others here have said, help is available if you need it. A lot of places offer low-cost or “pay what you can” counselling services, and organisations like Andy’s Man Club offer a supportive place to talk without the expectations of formal counselling sessions. Take care of yourselves and here’s to better times ahead.

    I’m assuming it looks like a normal muffin tbh

    Yeah - if it doesn’t sell, I might put it to use on guitar, it’s was a godsend with the last band I filled in for as well as my last band. I need to look at the pedalboard and Power supply too. They’re nothing fancy, but they work well and haven’t let me down. Probably £10 for the board (no bag) and £20 for the PSU, 10 outs, 2 of which are selectable voltage isolated outs.

    Well, nobody in their right mind would risk putting an Ampeg on anything!!

    The iron man is based on/a version of a smallsound/bigsound mini … it’s great
  26. SimonK started following My New Year Challenge - What 5 String Bass, Harley Benton or Squier?
  27. SimonK
    Travis Dykes (Nashville Session musician) certainly seems to like the Harley Bentons (the second one featured on the video below is the five string):

    The tone switch is Series/Parallel switch.

    My birthday and Christmas fall within three days of each other and I was gifted this Retrovibe by the fam after seeing it in Bolton and commenting on it (not by any means as a hint; as a few of you know I'm selling my basses these days due to arthritis). Having been in touch with David it seems it was one of 8 made in this colour around 10 years ago. Absolutely immaculate although the pickups are apparently not the original fit items, so I will probs restore the right ones if I can find some. Interestingly it's a 33.25" scale and has the push pull on the bridge tome control.

    So my need for bass FX is sort of over. I’m playing guitar/Baritone a lot more. 1. TC Spectra Comp £50 (boxed) clever little single knob compression, you can (if you wish) download various presets via USB or an App. 2. Sonicake Reverb £20 (Boxed) Cheap and cheerful digital reverb, does 3 settings and is quite pleasant. 3. Marshall Regenerator Modulation £40 (Boxed) Chorus/Phaser/Flanger/Step Phaser - I’ve always used the vintage chorus but the step phaser is a hoot for synthy sounds. 4. TC Nether Octave £35 (boxed) Does a very lovely OC-2 type warble 5. Korg Pitchblack Tuner £25 (No Box) No frills stage tuner, works well. Postage in UK will be £3 per Pedal All will be wiped down and free of marker stickers etc. Paypal F&F if I know you, Bank Transfer or Cash on Collection in Manchester (M27) The ODB3 isn’t mine so can’t sell, and the Iron Man was made by our very own @LukeFRCand I can’t recall what it’s based upon, is a lovely drive pedal…I could be tempted to sell - call it £65, no box.

    I keep one these permanently in the back of the car as an emergency spare. Very nice piece of kit, totally dependable.
