[quote name='DogHammer' timestamp='1409054317' post='2535795'] However, if the bassist in another band asks me before hand, with a genuine reason, I know them or we can work out some cab/amp share arrangement then its all golden. [/quote] this will eventually be my position when I've played around Sheff a bit more and know a few more bands, I'm relatively new to this local scene so don't know many other bass players yet to be able to do this...

some magnificent ideas here guys, thanks! ...a few chuckles too I ended up with "...we will bring all our own amps (guitar and bass), cymbals, snare, stands etc. My bass amp is a big [b][i]expensive [/i][/b]all valve thing and I'm not comfortable letting other folks use it I'm afraid. Sorry" he seemed fine with that...

...tell a promoter that 'yes I do have a bass amp but no it's not for all and sundry on the bill to use, I bought it, it's mine to look after and I don't know the other cheds from adam so they're not chuffin using it'...? ...any ideas?

The last one of our current batch of gigs (we do keep adding gigs into the list though so who knows what'll be next...) Our first gig folks will actually pay to enter, ticketed gig for a promoter we'd really like to get on side (Wagonwheelmedia) cos they do lots of our sort of music at higher profile venues another evening do, I believe tickets will be under a fiver and there'll be a couple of bands on...hope the beer's good This is us: [url="https://www.facebook.com/FargoRailroadCompany"]Fargo Railroad Co[/url] Playing at: [url="http://www.shakespeares-sheffield.co.uk/shakespeare-pub-sheffield-yorkshire"]Shakespeare's - Sheffield[/url]

Another gig, this'll be our third, different brewery (Ossett Brewery), still excellent beer, evening do, we're on at 9ish This is us: [url="https://www.facebook.com/FargoRailroadCompany"]Fargo Railroad Co[/url] Playing at: [url="http://www.thehop-sheffield.com/"]the hop - sheffield[/url]

excellent second gig, very appreciative crowd, very very enthused organiser demanding we accept a booking for a future gig at the pub on their regular music night...all in all, a superb second showing Link to a few pics [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/239060-the-fargo-railroad-co-andydye/page__view__findpost__p__2535705"]Gigs Thread - Second post[/url]

just had our second gig, at the Cross Scythes pub on Derbyshire Lane (Sheffield), as part of an 'acoustic' festival they were puting on, we may not have been terribly acoustic but we went down very well indeed and the manager/landlord/organiser was rather gushing in his praise and demanded that we come and play on one of his regular music nights...again we thought this a good sign

[quote name='Karl Derrick' timestamp='1408998662' post='2535440'] The proto strap goes out to Andydye tomorrow. We're going to need everyone to have a good play with the strap and then get it on to the next guy on the list as quick as is reasonably possible, so no one has to wait too long. [/quote] I'll let you know when it lands with me and will be able to use it at a practise this Friday evening and potentially (if it feels good) a gig on Sunday evening before posting it onwards next Monday I'm going to need an address for you walbassist matey

Boss dd20 is a great delay box with some great delay types and tap tempo too if you need that

[quote name='Karl Derrick' timestamp='1408798160' post='2533561'] Or possibly send it direct? I will need to keep track of where it is, as it's the only datum for the design. One of a kind. It must come home [/quote] am happy to send it wherever instructed Given the insurance level for it, it will need sending by recorded delivery so you'll always know when it's arrived Maybe ask folks to post a pic of them using it too?

[quote name='Karl Derrick' timestamp='1408783281' post='2533386'] The proto will go out to Andydye for a play first thing next week. [/quote] woop! Then back to karl before going onwards to walbassist?

[quote name='Karl Derrick' timestamp='1408734520' post='2533123'] If anyone would like to test the proto out, it can be borrowed for the cost of two way postage. I believe in the honour system. [/quote] brilliant idea matey! I'd be very interested in meeting it!

Will it loosen or is it seized? If seized try dribbling a little wd40 in there being careful with the finish? Worked on a mex j I had once... if not seized...

[quote name='LukeFRC' timestamp='1408058673' post='2526821'] que? [/quote] I think the suggestion is that you'd know why it's wrong after just 1 listen to it?

just did a postal trade with Mike P for J and all went very smoothly, he was very patient while I had a minor breakdown due to having too many things to do in too little time and we got it all sorted out very happily. cheers matey
