I'm really interested in a Kemper, but the thing that puts me off a bit, Is I don't feel I would have the facility to profile amps as well as people seem to. Ace from skunk Anansie recently profiled all of his, but everyone seems to get set up in full on professional studios to do it.

If I had the money I would go for a tolexed Retro six10 to stand next to my Barefaced Vintage

Doug and Darkglass will always get my business. This all seems very shady from 3leaf really. WIll it be long until they release their 'own' B3K do you think?

Darkglass B3K and Abominable Electronics Hail Satan Deluxe for me.

If no pics, then at least a link to look at!

A quick heads up - Abominable Electronics are having a Black Friday sale - www.abominableelectronics.com I absolutely love their pedals obviously, I swear by the Hail Satan Muff! If you were ever considering one you won't get a better deal than this on them I don't reckon!

I love my M80 Dual bag. If I'm not carrying two basses, I would be able to put all my leads and my Ampeg PF500 in there if I wanted

I've got the stems for an acoustic gig we did, and I have no idea how to mix. I'll have a look see if they are any good as the quality might not be great. Cheers!

We have done all our own management and admin type stuff so far, and we have done ok I reckon, but we have some big stuff for 2015, that I feel we can't make the most of those opportunities by just guessing our way through things, so we need proper management... Have you got proper management? How did it come about? Any tips on finding the right management? It seems that a lot of management companies want to offer some kind of 'consultancy' service - I just see this as a way of them making money upfront for a fee, not actually getting on board and believing they can get you somewhere, and we don't fancy/can't afford that, so we've already turned down two companies offering that. Any ideas? Cheers

Have not been there for 20 years or so when it was closed down for being a complete drugs den. [/quote] Fantastic mate, pop over and say Hi if you make it along!

I've done both the give it away free/pay what you want, and the charge for it ways, and both have been completely different beasts, as the bands were completely different. My current band, Sirens in the Delta (http://sirensinthedelta.bandcamp.com) have our EP online, and are also selling physical digipak CD's using bandcamps storefront type setup. We chose to charge £4 for digital download and £5 for a CD, as we need to cover our CD costs, but if anyone only wants a digital download, its cheaper for them, but is actually more profitable for us than the CD. I also feel that your music should always have a value, if you don't give it a worth, other people may not. As this band is a far more 'get out and gig' band, we wanted to have physical merch to sell to recoup the costs that we have outlayed with studio time/cds/merch etc. I have found if you do charge, people don't mind paying if they want your music. We have also had it put on iTunes/Spotify/Amazon/Deezer/etc, just to have it as many places available to buy as possible. With Dresden (http://dresdenmusic.bandcamp.com) my previous band, we were more of a studio band, with our own studio and producer, so we went the free/ pay what you want approach, as we didnt do a lot of gigs and wanted to be able to get our music in as many ears as we could to increase exposure. As well as using bandcamp we allowed the album to be a featured album on a very large private music torrenting site. This led to approx 20k+ downloads of the album worldwide, which was good exposure and opened other doors and contacts through them hearing our music. We made very little money from people paying 'what they want' but when they did pay anything, it was very nice to see. We didn't make any physical copies so that meant we had no costs to recoup. I guess the common theme here is that whatever you choose to do, bandcamp is a fantastic tool for artists to get their music online, its really user friendly, and can be really interesting with its stats, eg. I have found reviews of my band that I would have not seen without having bandcamp tell me where people had come from to visit the site. I once had a photographer friend tell me that he had increased his business tenfold after taking the advice to increase his prices, as people thought cheap meant crap. I would say charge for it, post a link and I'll buy it.

We got our drummer from a joinmyband ad when our original drummer left due to family and work commitments as we got busier with the band. It's all worked out great for us, so there are good people looking as much as good bands looking I would hope, its just as others have said, the people you may hear from vary greatly

Si has a for sale thread up right now!

I'm flogging a DeviEver Ruiner if that's of any interest? There's a for sale thread somewhere!

I never had any problems putting a Novation Bass Station through my Matamp... Sounded really good!
