[quote name='Delberthot' post='161215' date='Mar 21 2008, 12:03 AM']With the wedding band we take a deposit on booking which can be anything from a few weeks to a couple of years to the actual booking but with my pub rock band its seat of the pants get paid on the night or torch the place type of gig. I am the great cornholio. I need TP for my bumholio,raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa[/quote] Yeah Weddings and functions are totally different. Everyone needs to know things will happen, the band will show up and teh event will still happen .. Pub gigs it's not so important from either side ..

[quote name='Jase' post='161210' date='Mar 20 2008, 11:55 PM']Hi Si, Yeah, since spoke to the guitarist (his band by the way) while he agrees with my complaint he too says that it would probably do more damage in the long run, I still think it's wrong though, a couple of weeks notice or to move the date is fine if they need to but when it's a couple of nights notice to cancel it's quite difficult to replace the gigs. Never mind one day it'll be all different, pay to play will be illegal and cover bands will get some sort of fee recovery [/quote] Ha ha yeah ... Don't get me started on that again

Might scare off some of your pub gigs Jase, or reduce your repeat er bookings, or let doens .. Crez is in a totally different market if I remember correctly, the one where the fee ends in "thousand"

[quote name='acidbass' post='161098' date='Mar 20 2008, 09:01 PM']Have you thought about using a couple of toolboxes as a replacement? The keys player in my band uses Stanley aluminium ones with the internal toolbox trays removed, they look the part and do their job very well![/quote] Yeah my guitarist uses a pair of Stanleys however that's then more things to carry and no wheeled box to roll things on I'm not being ungrateful or difficult, guys, but I like what I've got and want another the same, the damn company won't sell me one ....

[quote name='pete.young' post='156395' date='Mar 12 2008, 11:11 PM']Try and find out if you have a local brass band, or better still wind band . Wind bands have trumpets, brass bands have cornets but most will double up.[/quote] Yeah but they arn't used to playing standing up PM sent

I hope you didn't give him a basschat card I was perfectly happy with my '62 Precision which I got in about '72... Sadly in about '84 it was stolen and the GAS attacks have happened every few years since. I'm very happy with my basses now though and I can't see myself needing to replace either Shuker. The Markbass Amp is fine but I want to have two Schroeder 1212L's rather than one... and my effects are in flux too but that doesn't count

[quote name='Clive Thorne' post='159793' date='Mar 18 2008, 05:57 PM']A trick I learnt many years ago, from a BBC sound engineer/roady, was to coil it up into your hand, but put a sort of reverse twist into it every other coil. Very hard to describe in writing, but the affect is that you can coil it up, then hold one end and through the coil away from you and it will (should) completely uncoil itslef and lay flat on the floor without a twist in sight. Clive.[/quote] Yeah I know that method. Sailors do it with the ropes too ... In fact that's what I do having ended up with bitter and twisted cables in the past ... I'll still not be using those plastic things though

[quote name='wotnwhy' post='159888' date='Mar 18 2008, 08:19 PM']these guys are from a film, a trillogy in fact. i've seen the first one, and it's bloomin fantastic! but i can't for the life of me remember the name of the film... anyone know??[/quote] [url="http://www.leningradcowboys.fi/index.htm"]http://www.leningradcowboys.fi/index.htm[/url] "World famous Finnish film director Aki Kaurismäki's 1989 cult movie "Leningrad Cowboys go America" describes the fortunes and misadventures of a struggling Siberian rock band on their way from the tundra to America, eventually ending up in Mexico and on the local top ten chart. This hilarious road movie has been released in more than 30 countries around the world. The 1994 sequel, "Leningrad Cowboys meet Moses", tells of the band's return from Mexico, via New York and through Europe, back to their native village in Siberia. Besides all the feature films, Aki Kaurismäki has also directed a concert documentary "Leningrad Cowboys meet the Alexandrov Red Army Ensemble" plus several music shorts like "Rocky VI", "Thru the Wire", "L.A.Woman", "Those Were the Days“ and "These Boots" featuring the Leningrad Cowboys."
