[/quote] Yes but the deps, profit is greater if not equal given the other band expenses and chores that they have not contributed to. Eg Pa website,flyers, actually procuring the gigs However one band i depped for slipped me an extra £20 for the extra travelling as i was the only non local and sat in on four rehearsals. Which was nice.

The regulars in the band are paying rehearsal fees, marketing costs and doing more of the legwork so it seems fair thathey take slightly more of the split. We often take £120 eac and pay dep sax players £100

Any news on this

[quote name='NJE' timestamp='1367932246' post='2071140'] I was never really a fan but this new album is producing some brilliant songs and some great bass lines. Jamareo Artis his bass player is phenomenal, great groove and I wish I looked as 1/10th as cool as him when I play bass. His whole band are amazing though and its nice to see he takes a live band on TV appearances and they are just on fire all the time. I found this live video of him doing Treasure, I think I have listened to it 10 times now, the tone out of Jamareo's Precision is awesome.

Great band on this too.

Oh my word Id forgotten. Straight off to listen to Fragile now

Can you give us band location, type of material, links etc

First time i heard him was in my teens in the late 70s in the sony showroom in regent st where you could tryi out all there hi fi and keep out of the rain after trawling the guitar shops in denmark st and charing cross road on a saturday afternoon. They had some early projection tv screen type thing playing weather report, probably heavy weather live. I was hooked.

[quote name='xgsjx' timestamp='1367096408' post='2061347'] I wasn't impressed with how loud the briefcase could go when I tried one. Sounded lovely at low to medium volumes, but when I turned it up, it farted at me. [/quote] That was my experience too when I tried one at the bass centre as was. That's when the guy suggested I try the markbass. i bought one on the spot.

I had a ha5000 that failed due to burnt out output transistor. Was fixed under warranty by importer thanks to CODA music in Stevenage a few years ago.

I use venom cables which seem to go on forever but when they don't anymore Ill be calling obbm they look great and a good price too

Anyone played her before ? I'm going along with my band Rekovery for a play tomorrow Monday Night.

What he said re markbass!

I've heard that cranberry juice is very efficacious for this compliant. Not sure if one supposed to drink it, apply it or use the whole carton ?

Affected and pretty awful all round imho I lasted about 30 seconds

Somewhere to rest your thumb !

And the other band that i play with have a peavey tnt which is also fine

Our room has a nice ampeg ba115 and is up a flight of stairs so a no brainer for me; just tak a bass gig bag and snacks
