Agree about the lighting. What would be ideal is a pop up clear tent - naturists model

so theoretically a cooks DC7 has a 24v out... and some soldering for a really notdesignedforpedalboard solution - feed IEM mix in though.... The Camden sounded really nice, I'm going to add it to my list of "nice things I would like to try" mind you the Beta 5 sounds good too!

Great question! Maybe turn that one around - what would make you want to join a band and really commit to it and to work hard at keeping your place in it? It's going to vary for everyone, but I suspect it will include some or all of the following? Regular decently paid gigs (covers band) Love the music that the band is playing / get a say in song choices Talented musicians to work with Fun crew who you enjoy hanging out with Good band atmosphere and minimal drama Feeling valued An opportunity to be creative (maybe more for original bands?) An opportunity to grow and develop as a musician

Im based in the southern part of the country close to a town called Kalmar.

Mate used on of those little green houses in my garage for spraying motorcycle tanks and side panels. Walk-in, and clear so you can see what ya doing. Paint Spraying and associated care, and patience is why my bitsa's and Modders are usually natural wood with oil n wax.

The threat of shoving the carrot where it will block the sun might be an option? I think the “carrot” should come from pride of being the best you can be. Not sure how easy it is to provide carrots to lazy people, unless you pay them? Bands can be a pain in the @rse,… or maybe that’s the last carrot still stuck there 🤣

I have only been to Stockholm (arvik) I feel so untraveled we did go out of city to the lakes and the rijksmuseum though

And you My uncle was originally from Ystad. Where are you based?

Wow! Nice to meet you!

All makes sense. But pushing them to ‘choose’ means we will probably lose them and thus be unable to do gigs at all. As it stands we get a product, but it frustrates cos it takes more time and effort than necessary and could be better. We can’t really use the stick, so whats the carrot?🥕

Perhaps he’s bitter cos he didn’t write it😂 My beef with the latter-day Zombies (now retired of course) was they went stadium rock for US audiences with long solos instead of being a decent pop group. One of the worst offenders was Hold Your Head Up - again, not ‘their’ song.

I have been in two bands simultaneously because I wanted to gig more than the first band did. I made it clear to both bands the situation and that when it came to gigs, the first gig in the diary got priority. Practicing was never an issue and rehearsals with either band were arranged so far in advance that they never clashed. In terms of motivation - for me it was gigs. Both bands had great people in them and playing with them was enjoyable and fulfilling but the main reason I play is to be on stage. I don't think failing to prepare or practice is a direct result of being in several bands. If I was struggling to manage the workload the first thing I'd do is prioritise based on upcoming gigs but I would also be talking to all the bands involved to explain. I would have to think carefully about whether this was a one-off or likely to happen again and if the latter, I'd have to make a decision about leaving a band to reduce the workload. As with most things, communication is key and the earlier you talk it through the less heated it will be.

Welcome BL.

One of the things that puts me off seeing the Zombies again, tbh - Mr Argent's bitter and lengthy tirade. Left a nasty undertone to the evening.

Hej! Välkommen till basschat My aunt and uncle lived in Höör in Skåne for many years. We had lots of great winter and summer holidays there. Beautiful part of the country and lovely people. FB
