This is mine, just recently put together, so sorry about wobbly pedal and dodgy patches!

My better half’s criticism mainly stems from there being “no words” to sing along to... We we could have done L42 or Incognito and that’d probably have been fine, but I just fancied some “proper” jazz! Next year I’ll suggest she and the boy go shopping in the more “jazz” end of the spectrum and I’ll go as Billy no mates!

I picked one up to use in addition to the Soul Food, and its exactly as you describe on the lower settings. I’ve not noticed any tone suck - it does have two different voicings for guit and bass too.

Yep, I saw TBP too. Really enjoyed it - quite challenging at times, and my wife said it “felt like being physically assaulted” and made her really angry too. She’s not a musician, BTW 😉 We saw Kizzy Crawford and Yola too - both “not jazz” but very enjoyable nonetheless. I was was a bit disappointed at the line up this year, but I suppose they have to balance pleasing the hardcore with actually selling tickets and accessibility. My highlight was Billy Cobham a few years ago.

Yes please! Let me know how much etc and I'll ping you moneys!

I struggle with this too. Until recently we tended to rehearse until about 10.30ish, and I’d be home about 11, but it was always difficult to sleep afterwards, and after a gig I’d be in around 1am, but wouldn’t be asleep until 2.30/3am. I generally have to sit down, maybe watch some tv or read a book for half an hour or so. I think it’s in part the adrenaline from performing, and then the quite stressful load outs too.

One on the way!

The Blue Lagoon in Bristol has a pretty varied list of bands on?

There’s one on eBay at the moment.

Well said.

So, let me get this right: you come on and ask for a (free?) transcription? And when you don’t get it you flounce off? Is that about right?

That’s actually what I was looking for, but I’m going to have both on there and use them in the alternative!

I bought one off here after posting a thread seeking advice on an always on drive. I’d tend to echo that it’s quite trebly - Ive played with it and it’s great for a pick style clank but I’m going to try a TC Mojomojo on my board as an alternative. There’s another thread on here seeking advice on a mod called a bread and butter mod which looks to add low end. Unfortunately it looks like the company that did it doesn’t any more, but someone else might be able to do it.

I hadn't seen those flip finishes of Dood's before - may I just say "phwoar"? Love those (though they do slightly remind me of the old Nissan Primera saloons that had limited ed flip paint..

Well, I've never had to test it but having dealt with public liability claims over the years as part of my job, I would have thought that any claims would probably go against the band as a whole, or the individual that did the act/caused the problem. Usually personal injury claims etc tend to go after the person with the money anyway. Oh, and course, it was the [insured band member] who forgot to tape the cables down that they tripped over anyway, wasn't it? Ahem.

MU provides PL cover as part of the membership. I’ve produced that to venues and they’re happy it is suitable.

Bought a pedalboard from Pat - came quickly and well packed - and great comms throughout. Thanks.

Fretmeister is right - this is my day job and it is usually not cost-effective for a law firm to deal with claims under £10k. That said, you can always get them to advise on the legal position (i.e. what the contract terms mean, what your prospects are etc) and do it yourself afterwards. You may also have legal expenses cover via your home insurance too.

I don’t use Facebook so don’t know how well that works, but I have had some success through Gumtree in the past. Never got anywhere with JMB, but depending where you are Bandmix might also be worth a go.

Picked up a Stagg EUB from Russ today, a pleasure to deal with, thanks.
