Blitzkrieg Bop - Ramones

Thanks buddy.

If I remember correctly, if you watch the new "Get Back" remaster thing pf the Beatles that Peter Jackson did, you can see a set list taped to the side of Paul's Hofner, presumed to be from their Shea Stadium gig?

I have a Monaco. Used it for the first time in anger at an outdoor festival last Sunday and I've done a few rehearsals with it. Bloody brilliant. Dispersion is fabulous and the cab didn't break a sweat with a 5 string Spector. The build quality feels better than my Barefaced BB2 cabs I used for 10 years - they never failed on me but the cabinets always felt a bit fragile. I've used various Bergs as well and sold them all after a couple of gigs - they didn't have enough booty for what I was looking for at the time. The thing I haven't seen anyone mention so far is that the Monaco is really good at lower volumes too. The BB2 was always a bit full on for home use - it just sounded huge all the time which isn't necessarily great for in the living room. Wholeheartedly recommended

Google Sheets also works really well, it allows for a more bespoke grid of information. We have the whole year planned out with gigs, potential gigs, rehearsals, meetings, and each gig has all of the info anyone needs; location, deps, fee splits etc.

Thanks mate, I'm down in Sunny Swindon 🌞 😆 Would really love to try one.

I don't want to rain on @Linus27 parade, but I hope this is the soundcheck. Otherwise why is no-one down the front and what is that carrier bag doing on stage?

We found Google Calendar was the best thing for us as it worked across all platforms and was simple to set up

Bop Gun - Parliament

I thought that at first but then the letter mentions the item not reach its destination. I'll follow it up and report back if I hear anything.

It didn't fly anywhere, I think they just have a depot there.

Something new for me. When I arrive at a gig I make sure I know where all the railings are for stairs and use them. A clean stage is important to me now as well. I don't like a lot of leads all over the place. They're very easy to trip on and cause a fall. Daryl

That's a good idea. I could definitely see taping a set list on my Hofner. Daryl

Deviating slightly from Tonerider but heading to a solution, I recently went through a little project where I needed/wanted a very specific tonal quality from a pair of pickups that I had to have custom made due to the configuration. I approached a few pickup makers and chose Laverack Guitars, they make Toltec pickups. Lee, who owns the business was able to interpret what I wanted tonally from a phone conversation and nailed it. They aren't expensive either. He does a range of J and P and will wind exactly to your spec or desire for very reasonable money indeed. Customer support is of the highest quality too. He has an eBay shop but always approach direct and have the conversation. https://www.laverackguitars.com/

That truss rod nut hasn't got in very deep. It wouldn't be a flag for me, it will probably work just fine without any problems.
