[quote name='SisterAbdullahX' timestamp='1492986043' post='3284689'] Simply that. Does anyone on here play pubs but not play the same old tired Classic Rock covers? [/quote] then the trick here is to play the venues that dont expect or demand all that sort of tired old sh1te usually with a decent venue manager who understands that they dont always have to accomodate the lowest common denominator musical tastes of their establishmnets clientele

If you're anywhere near Rochester in the coming weeks then you 'might' be enthralled at the prospect of this... http://www.medway.gov.uk/leisurecultureandsport/events/sweepsfestival2017.aspx

Well according to quantum principles ... if SWMBO 'observes' then it may turn from a wave into a particle. Hope this helps

[quote name='Telebass' timestamp='1491138008' post='3270738'] Birthday party at an out-in-the-sticks social club in Cornwall. Good crowd spoiled by one or two falling down drunks and girls that want to sing and try and snatch the mic. Front man doesn't mind, but I do! Otherwise very good. [/quote] almost .... golf club private booking 60th birthday party, 70s something old dear wanders over to me (why not ask one of our two vox at the front???) its my son-in-laws birthday soon and i want you to play lady in red .... we dont play that sorry .... oh you must do everybody knows it .... exits stage left somewhat indigant with our set list choices

style over substance maybe

depends how you want the songs to come across to your audience perfect note for note facsimile copies with all the correct tonal characteristics and effects all the way down to 'loose' covers while the former is often seen by some as a bit OCD and OTT (usually out of some primary concern of putting effort into it but not wasting too much time because its 'our interpretation innit') , the latter frequently comes across as lazy and unmotivated (unless of course they are very radical reworkings that have clearly had some thought and effort put into them) hope this helps

[quote name='TimR' timestamp='1491845462' post='3275832'] Whilst I agree with this 100%, if the band are looking for high end gigs where they're booked by committee, one member of the committe will say they have seen or know a really good band but they'll often need a way to convince the rest of the committee. [/quote] agreed - but i think youll find even then with the higher end better paid corporate gigs and such, that someone on that committee might be connected to a band member - we have had a few like this and they are through such connections of a social/business nature but in those instances the person hiring us has still seen and heard us in the flesh this whole process very rarely if ever happens just from a google search or review/comparison website alone - when bookers are prepared to pay good fees for entertainments then they need to be sure they are getting good value for money and most punters would agree that booking a band purely on how their demos sound on their website might not be the wisest of choices

in my humble experience most established covers bands do not win gigs on the strength of their website or demo recordings alone 99.999% of your gig bookings will come from people who have been to see you live in the flesh and were impressed enough to shake their booty or tap their foot accordingly the cost of a pro recording session is quite significant - if he is willing to foot the bill himself then maybe just humour him as whilst its handy to have it on the website there will also be a small element of it that will be perhaps (trying to be diplomatic) 'his personal vanity project' (which is all well and good if he is footing the bill) the fact they ask you means they must think you are up to the standard required - and theyve certainly offered plenty of notice tricky call if you have plenty of other commitments and if all your concerns are falling on deaf ears then maybe thats an indicator of a possible future predicament

have an electronics tech look at the active circuit - there will most likely be a trim control on the board to set the gain for each pickup - if there is then you should be able to lower the pickup for finger clearance and then adjust the gain to balance the pickup signal level to be comparable with the bridge pickup maybe try emailing warwick and ask if this eq board has pickup gain trim pots

[quote name='dlloyd' timestamp='1491553342' post='3273848'] I wouldn't use water... it won't do anything to remove dirt build up, which is generally oil based. Remove any major build up of "fingerpoo" with an old credit card. Clean the rest with a cloth that has a small amount of lighter fluid on it (Americans call it naphtha, it's just the stuff we use in petrol lighters). Treat with lemon oil (the Dunlop stuff is good). [/quote] i just started a 'related' thread over on another board re this - do you know is the dunlop stuff neat lemon or is it diluted with a carrier oil?

reading around seems like many folks only recommend basic lemon oil and then even that is for cosmetic appearance rather than any essentia need to 'feed' the fretbaord wood
