[quote name='Bilbo' timestamp='1400785567' post='2457064'] Danny Boy, FFS! [/quote] do people actually listen to him still? this strange vibrato technique he seems to favour recently sounds like listening to an old tape deck with the belt playing up shoot me down for being sexist but he seems to me to be more concerned with adorning himself with young strumpet bass playerettes

we have a nice corporate function gig next month so hopefully there will be some good quality vid of us playing to the crowd and if we can manage to get a reasonable audio live recording that should just about do it and for me this is much more preferrable than a studio demo not a big fan of demos for the sake of it especially when potential bookers ask for them - at local band level ive yet to see a live band that were frankly anything like their studio demo on their website and even if it is a good demo, it's stil not live - im a firm believer in getting bookings from people who have seen us live as then they know exactly what they are getting after all you could spend hours and take after take and even more hours of post production trying to achieve that elusive studio demo, and if you cant deliver it live you can bet the booker who hired you for their gig wont book you again or recommend you to others

[quote name='thisnameistaken' timestamp='1400750282' post='2456556'] But you don't need to be a talented musician to do that [/quote] this cannot be true as surely more guitarists would be playing bass?

[quote name='thisnameistaken' timestamp='1400705390' post='2456351'] ....Being an excellent bass player isn't a massive benefit to most bands..... .....Also as a bass player you probably have the least influence of the whole ensemble over whether the band sounds any good or not... [/quote] maybe i wont bother with sunday night's gig and just send a txt to the keyboard player tell him to wiggle his left hand about a bit more

[quote name='JTUK' timestamp='1400659616' post='2455795'] I'd charge £25 per hr, but you'd also be considerate of many many factors. If the band use it well, it will be money well spent and they could split the cost over many years of use. [/quote] John what if it is a major client with big budget and expectations to match? if you didnt quote the job and pitch your tender accordingly you wouldnt be in with any chance big spenders like to feel the exclusivity of knowing that you are tailoring everything to 'their demands' and that includes not being charged the same flat rate as everybody else small spenders might even baulk at the idea of 25p/h and hint after whether you could knock something up for them in 20 mins! (at which point you suggest they go to talk to relatives kids doing A level art who wants to do it for their portfolio) -

[quote name='HowieBass' timestamp='1400658175' post='2455781'] I'd say you do 70s rock/pop Top 20 chart type material, the stuff you'd have seen on TOTP. [/quote] haha - yes there is a slight resemblance with the logo - wasnt planned i just trialled several fonts and that one seemed to suit best and got all our vote - not 70s though lol -

to answer the OP original comments what i would charge would depend on several factors including but not limited to, their resources (financial), their expectations if they were a bunch of young upstarts with not much dosh but there was some serious potential for 'professional development' i would also consider offering the logo for free and retaining copyright but allowing them usage with a percentage type fee -
