  1. Past hour
  2. And some Pub Landlords tend to favor "cheap". We have few places where the owner/managers are living in the past and won't budge from $350.00. We won't take those types of gigs. Off topic, sort of. I know some folks here are not in this for the money, which is fine. However, some of us are. I've never hit the big time or even come close. I'm a struggling local guy. In my area we have some $50.00 a night guys, $70.00, and $100. 00 a night guys. I can proudly say I'm a $150.00 a night guy. That's not much money, but more than most guys are getting around here.

  3. So today I had a wee go at making a routing template for the T-40 pickup. First time I've ever done such a thing and all I can say is "Rome wasn't built in a day"... But for all that, you can't see the rattiness of it once the pickup is in... Not sure whether to try to finesse this template a bit, or junk it, learn from it and start again. I drew around the pickup ring to see how much room for manoeuvre I've got...
  4. Bill Haley and the Vomets. Alice Pooper. Bog Brother and the Holding Company. Pong.
  5. I use it on 'who knew' by pink.
  6. Had a busy day today, on both projects I have got on the go right now. Here's what happened on the shed bass. First of all, I offered the neck up and used some string to see how the alignment was. Not too shabby, as it happens, with the neck almost along the top edge of the neck pocket, just needs a slight angle away which I will hopefully be able to create with a bit of veneer. And scale length looks good with the neck pocket the depth into the body it currently is. Next wee job was to drill out and fill the old neck screw holes. I checked them a while back and they were a little jaunty and I wasn't happy to use them again, so they need to be filled. Now, because the neck pocket had to be routed out to clean it up of all the glue and unevenness caused by the removal of that infernal glued in neck, the result was that the neck pocket was too deep - the 21 fret overhang of the neck was sitting on the top of the body, but the bottom of the heel wasn't making contact with the bottom of the neck pocket. So I used some 2mm thick maple veneer (intended for headstock fronts) and got to work shaping it to fit the neck pocket. Then it was glued in and clamped down. So, toddling along nicely, more neck pocket fettling to be done then it'll be time to fit the neck...
  7. Ok, so GAS has got the better of me (again) and I’ve splurged a load of cash on something else, so this is now available for £120 including UK second class delivery.
  8. Chris, I could go on and on about the mentality of some owners and managers. Think "clueless ". Lol There's a way for bands to cut that issue off at the pass. As soon as you arrive you kill the managers and staff with kindness. If you can do this these type of folks are less likely to act up Daryl
  9. What are pickup covers and bridge covers?
  10. Same
  11. Complementary to Guy Pratt's book is Nick Mason's book Inside Out, if you happen to like Pink Floyd.
  12. Agreed. We're also not what you would consider main stream. However, we have our niche and there's plenty of venues for us to play. We know the venues where you know the crowd wants covers like " Don't Stop Believing " . It's better for us to turn those gigs down. Daryl
  13. Agreed. Over here when a venue changes hands it's undoubtedly the " kiss of death " for the bands. Daryl
  14. As mentioned, mine produce noise if I plug them in straight, but if I plug them in to a lead that is connected to the input, the noise goes away, so I guess it needs the filter network of a guitar cable to filter out the noise. Interested to hear what the A58s are like, I looked at those (and the fender ones) as a replacement for the WS90/WS70s I use but haven't picked anything yet.
  15. That's a very unfortunate scenario. Here's another issue. The band arrives with members acting like "diva rock stars" and making unnecessary demands on the venue. It seems like such an easy proposition. We work for them ,they don't work for us. Daryl
  16. Agreed. Relieing on call back business might work for a while and with some venues. However not a good practice for bands that want to make money. Daryl
  17. Too loud is an issue and the venue might not tell you that was the reason a band wasn't asked back . I say, in the case a band is playing a restaurant or anywhere you are providing background music, keep the volume low. And if your in a loud band, maybe not accept the background music gigs. Daryl
  18. Had also been asked about the weight of this: 4.15 kg / 9.15 lbs
  19. Straight sale would be preferable, but I'm always open to trade / p/x offers. Feel free to DM any offers.
  20. Greatest speaker to improve any TC Electronic with 8 inches speakers. GLWYS.
  21. Today
  22. You need help...
  23. I bought this to use as a backup whilst my old amp was being serviced. It’s a superb little unit. Bought new recently and rehearsed and gigged a couple of times since. Works as it ought to and is very powerful. I used it through my 8ohm cab and it was loud and punchy. It’s got some cosmetic surface scratches on the top but nothing terrible. Boxed with mains lead and manual (I think). I can post in the UK. PayPal please.

  24. I only use my Boss CEB-3 Bass chorus in conjunction with the SY-1 on my board to add a pseudo rotating speaker effect to an organ sound.
