Franticsmurf started following What Is An Ideal Gig For You ?
-
The main thing that makes a gig ideal for me is a good response from the crowd. I find that I, and bands I've been in, respond well to an enthusiastic crowd. Usually the performance benefits and in turn my level of enjoyment increases knowing that we're on top form. Icing on the cake is genuine compliments from the punters. Pre-gig, I like to know that there's somewhere convenient to park, that there's a proper stage separated from the audience, that the landlord/venue owner understands live bands. There should be fair recompense and ideally soft drinks on the house. A changing room and back stage toilet is good from a convenience point of view. Post-gig, I like that buzz from knowing we've played well, a swift breakdown of kit and an easy load out.

Two positive reviews from two people who have only joined to post a positive review and nothing else. Am I getting cynical in my old age?

Lozz196 started following Money for old rope???
-
I can`t remember details but if I recall correctly I think after a specified period (determined at time of registering or something) music can be used irrespective of the artist? I may have this wrong though.
-
Remember the 70s and the Punk movement??? When bands were adamant that they would never "sell out"?? There are currently adverts on the TV featuring samples by both The Jam and The Sex Pistols - probably the two most vocal against "selling out".... My question: are tracks from 30-40 years ago which don't generate an income "fair game" for adverts and the like??? Integrity -v- income....

I can’t speak to your problems and I think a medical professional will be the best bet. Personally my bass playing, posture and overall mental health has improved after going to the gym for the last year.

A great service. Just sold a bass guitar and the transaction was seamless. Great communication, they provided the packaging and postage, they gave me a fair price and my payment was promptly paid into my PayPal account. I would definitely use them again!

Ibanez 5 string Medium Scale SRMD205. Only 3.3kg!

I left one band amicably nearly 20 years ago as we weren't getting any gigs and I'd got the offer of a quite busy club band. The band got a replacement, but some time later they couldn't get in touch with him for a gig and they asked me to dep, which I did. Subsequently they found that he'd died.

We don't allow What's it worth threads so they get pulled. They get a friendly message explaining why.

The clearout continues. This is a stock Ibanez SRMD205. 32 inch medium scale 5 string. Now discontinued by Ibanez. Specs: 45mm nut 18mm bridge string spacing PJ pickups 2 band EQ with blend. 9V powered. Matt black finish. WEIGHT: only 3.3kg being roughly 7.2lb Currently fitted with £100 worth of Dunlop Medium Scale Flatwounds. They went on in 2023 so should be good for another 5 years if you look after them properly. They are a traditional sounding flat, not a modern fizzy, metally nonsense sort of flat! I have owned this from new and it's done a few jazz gigs. I bought in May 2020 from GAK. I liked it so much that I had a pair of them for a while. This one was by far the lightest though. The other was quite a bit heavier. The other one went to fund a PS5 (sodding kids). The matt black paint has a few marks here and there but nothing particularly visible. Nothing that goes through the paint. Selling for £250.00 ono. Collection from Northants near J16 on the M1. I do not have any shipping boxes and as my local (was PMT) closed there isn't anywhere I can get any. Not looking for any trades, I need house room. Thanks.

What are your irrational prejudices? I have some bonkers ones...

Actually, that's just given me an idea, next time I'm asked to play in the low B territory I'll just plug in to a fart pedal... nobody would notice the difference, might even be an improvement on my usual playing! -

I'm happy with the main stuff - instruments, amps, cabs etc - that I've had for probably 10 years, and I've enough plectrums, strings etc to see me out I reckon. So unless a new battery for a clip-on tuner counts...I'm still in.

Worth noting that shielding the cavity would probably solve the hum issues -
I’ve got flats on 7 jazzes, wouldn’t have it any other way
-
Only had two flawed gigs as "bass player", so this is about my classical "career" as a pipe organ player: An ideal gig is one where I deliver the goods, or better, and afterwards someone comes over and says something along the lines of "I just learned something new about Bach".

Flats on a Jazz can sound wonderful. Do whatever sounds good to your ears - you might even find your signature sound. Best of luck on your journey.
