Stereotypes - Blur

As Duke Ellington famously said, if it sounds good, it is good.

So in other words, "No" nobody has any experience of these cabs 😆

We played a new venue last night, the Palace Place social club in Paignton. They have a PA, but the monitors were elsewhere so we took our desk and monitors and plugged into their amp. The room was quite tall and we needed to dial back on the higher frequencies to control the sound. My bass rig was filling the room nicely and didn't need much FOH, but the guitar did. A decent FOH and stage sound sorted and we blasted through our 2 sets. This club is near an old favourite pub which has changed landlord and direction, so we are not playing there anymore. We will secure more gigs here so that keeps us busy enough. They were pleased to have us and suggested coming down when it is quieter and setting up with their system and digital desk and monitors so we can just plug and play for the next gig. We didn't have a lot of time last night for that. Quite a few people who used to see us in Paignton came last night now we are back in town. My usual rig of StingRay, RM500 evo II & BF 210. Shoes were my new Skechers slip on' which are super comfy.

@Chiliwailer That calmed me down. Hypnotic and soothing. Made me feel bad about misbehaving in the power boat.

I had the release op in June this year, following a couple of injections which provided short term temporary relief. The procedure took about 20 mins and was pain free. I followed the post op excercise regime and paid particular attention to the instructions regarding massaging the wound site to prevent a build up of scar tissue which, can press on the nerve causing the same symptoms. I am now fully recovered and consider it a success as I no longer get the numbness at night and am now able to ride my motorcycle without my right hand going numb!

Welcome buddy. Slava Ukraine!

Yep, and sometimes something that shouldn’t work in theory results in something magical in practice 👍

board for the RnB covers band that I play with.

woah , I’d completely forgotten that ! I must have done , but that was a crazy night all round, wind and rain, bus , train , random strangers being related to business contacts, and some very odd type dudes who must have snorted a weeks entire pharmaceutical output . Voodoo radio then, must have done , hardcore fan me 😁

Please note that the word "retard" is not a pejorative. Thank you.

@Firewood-player you should probably start your own introduction so you can get the exact help that you need there Starter for ten points…

In time-honoured tradition … 🎉 I wouldn’t say rickenbacker are awful and fenders are overpriced because that would derail the thread and get it locked sooner @Robbo it was a good question

All that’s left are to throw in some personal insults and get the thread locked!

Didn't you see them when you came and saw us at Percy's?

Friday was Ferocious dog at the live rooms Chester , great energy and a monster mosh pit , haven’t seen the whole crowd moving like that in a while ! suppported by Voodoo radio , a father and daughter duo who were very entertaining good night all round. last night was the Black charade and Fell out boy. Both put on a great show , more dancing , no moshing and a noticeably smaller crowd ,the quantity of people was similar but I could see the stage easily without the hassle of peering between all the tall ones 😁

TBH Country is so formulaic that it doesn't surprise me it could be auto-generated.

I'd ensure logs are seasoned at least a year, two for oak, and have a moisture content of below 20% before burning. As for bass, you need a flashy one as it's all about showing off, so you'll need to stand at the front and slap it like there's no tomorrow, preferably while hiding any guitar players behind you.
