Nashville gigs are very poorly paid in general. Even tours with well known artists might only pay $200 per show (with all expenses covered obviously). Small fish in a big pond comes to mind!

Upgrade Sire V7 with Sadowsky preamp
acidbass replied to asingardenof's topic in Repairs and Technical
Hey @asingardenof how did this turn out? Any issues with the install? -
Hey guys! Has anyone played on this musical before? What's it like? Been offered the gig with a local theatre company but the music is dots and I'm usually a chart reader. Not a problem really as I'll get the notation well in advance, but I'm keen to hear what others think about the music and bass part in general! Thanks in advance Danny

Android Tablet... software for setlist & notes
acidbass replied to Stub Mandrel's topic in Accessories and Misc
I see a lot of guys using 'On Song' for live setlists. No experience here but worth a look! -
As a bassist there is nothing more destructive to a band's sound than a drummer who overplays. Sadly we have probably all encountered them! There seems to be an obsession now on chops over more traditional (useful) skills such as time, feel and dynamic. I try to think of the patterns I play as being inextricably linked to the drums, which means that I am conscious of not falling into the same trap of overplaying. It's a tough one.

I would say that there is a little bit more grip than Elixirs, but not really noticeable.

Recent convert to Dragon Skin also. I use them both on 4 string J bass and 5 string multiscale Dingwall. I believe they are coated Hi Beams. Great string with plenty of bounce and life!

I'm happy that he has received the recognition for his contribution to fretless playing but really that sound now is super dated, similar to the whole Mark King thing. It'll no doubt appeal to those who harbour 80s nostalgia, doctors and lawyers with plenty of wall space. I guarantee there will be a Sterling version released in about a year, priced around the £1200 mark.

PM'd you -
Probably been said already, but it sounds like a professionalism issue on the part of the musicians who don't bother to commit to the idea.

Bass response is all about the seal for me, so going custom moulds is a cert. However, I do like the KZs for bar type gigs - I own both the ZS10s and ZARs (both with foam tips) and I'm quite happy with both.

I'd like to make this same mod on my NG3 5 string, but I think BD only have the bridges in black. I'd love one in chrome. Time to email Payson I guess!

Hi all I am selling this pack of 5 x brand new and unused Van Damme patch cables. Each cable is 30cm in length from connector to connector. Cable is Van Damme Classic XKE instrument - tough as nails and more robust than the equivalent patch cable. Connectors are low profile pancake-style TS mono jacks. Will not split, selling as a lot of 5 cables for £35 including UK P&P Thanks! Danny-

Hi all I'm looking for some advice I would like to wrap 3 x Dingwall pickups in a white colour. The pickups themselves are epoxied into the shells and white covers are not available either as an option or aftermarket upgrade. I am thinking some kind of vinyl wrapping (like they use on car parts) might work. Does anyone have experience of doing something similar? Cheers! Danny

Option 2 for me. Whilst I agree it might appear unprofessional, it would be even more unprofessional to go onstage for 2+ hours with a terrible live sound.
