It looks fine to me too. My '70 precision is a bit further in that that one.

A lesson in How To Be Cool In 100 Degrees...loved it; you can see the fella on the left in the sun's suffering the heat... Great groove and feel, you're making it look easy...which is the hard bit... 🙂

Nope, you snooze, you lose.

Add me to the 'Get your hand in your pocket, Eavis!' crowd. It's fairly shabby that so many artists play for the entry fee to the event wot they're playing at.

I have a Monza, the little 1x10" brother of the Monaco, but I can only begin to imagine how incredible the bigger cab would be! I replaced two Barefaced One10s with a single 1x10 Monza, and the cab is louder and goes way lower in a much more controlled way at 8 ohms, than the other two 1x10 cabs combined, at 4 ohms! The cabs are hifi, but without sounding harsh, you get out what you put in, but better without adding colour. The Monza handles low B like an absolute champ, and I'd be more than happy to gig with the single 1x10, having previously had no issues gigging with a 1x12, so the 1x12 Monaco will be even better. As also noted above, build quality is fantastic on the LFSys cabs too. Some BF cabs can feel a little fragile, have issues with peeling tolex or chipping finishes, but no such worries with these guys. I also highly recommend these cabs. Eude

Liking that Daryl. Bass sounds nice with studio headphones on and its actually quite a nice mix. That's a nice wee bass line too. Maybe vocal could be a touch higher but otherwise its good to me. How's the ankle now. ? Dave

I too had a Monaco and it was a great single cab gig rig Highly recommend

Oh and if you ever change your MX5 in for a Boxster I can confirm it will fit in the frunk with a bit of room to spare.....🙂

Hi, how did the Alien sound with those strings? I'm thinking of getting the fretless so that noise will be even more annoying! I have those pressure wounds on my fretless electric & they're a good compromise.

Indeed, and due to the tollerance of preamp voltage sources, and how batteries maintain their voltage to near the end, thats still the same gig and you should have changed the battery ages ago!

Yes, I've used it. It's OK but not brilliant. Wheres The Gig was much easier to use but they started charging silly money for it. It does some things that Google Calendar does not. The Availability screen shows at a glance when people are available or not for a gig, provided that people fill it in and stand by it. It does set list management and you can build up a library of songs that you can then drag into set lists. It has limited multi-band support but this may have improved since I last used it.

Sounds fine Daryl - have you joined the Rumble club or was it just a hired in rig? 😆

Blu…nice job…love how calm you right hand is. Wish I could look that cool when performing! Don’t personally use a pick, but really like your sound!

Another Google calendar advocate but one band that I am in insists on using 'Timetree' app. It does the job with no issues but Google is just convenient for across devices.

This. My gear is all repairable and/or replaceable - it might not be cheap and it might take some time but it can be done. Myself, particularly now I'm in my 60s, maybe not so much.

Thanks buddy.

If I remember correctly, if you watch the new "Get Back" remaster thing of 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?
