We're booked on Saturday for 2 x 60 min sets for agreed fee, and have been told that if its going well on the night and the landlord wants us to carry on then we can play for longer and charge extra. For the last few gigs we have been playing for nearly 3 hours when the booking was 2 x 60 mins. I like playing, and generally happy to carry on for a few encores but an extra 45/60 mins can get a bit much, and I find the quality & (my) enthusiasm suffers a bit

Drum & Bass - help me get my head/ears around it
markbunney replied to Mykesbass's topic in General Discussion
Definitely check out LTJ Bukem and the Logical Progression, or Progression Sessions series. They came as a two disc set, one with MC’ing and one without. The genre was billed as “intelligent drum & bass”. They are heading for 20 years old now, but I think have aged well. -
Thanks, that’s fixed it!

Has anybody had any success using a Boss WL20L with a Behringer P2 as a DIY wireless set. I have tried today but can only get it to work in left ear. (Note the P2 works in both ears when using XLR so I know it’s not faulty)

Thanks, how do you find the battery life on this?

There seems to be a big gap in the market for reasonably priced 5.8ghz wireless units. they are either >£500 like the Shure or under £100 like the Lekato and similar. I have a boss WL 20 which is great, but I want to try using it to power a Behringer P2 as we are moving to IEMs. This means that I need another wireless for my bass, but am concerned if I buy another 2.4ghz unit there will be problems with drop outs and clashed with other units in the band.

Saw you play with George Ezra at the O2 earlier this year, brilliant gig. We have Gold Rush Kid on most days in our house
-
thanks, I had mine the wrong way round!
-
I have had exactly the same, the instructions seem to imply there is an R or L on the ear pieces but spend ages looking and couldn't find anything
-
The above sounds very similar to my last few gig days - gardening, tip, gig!

If any one is interested the Linsoul KZZS10 Pro X are on offer on Amazon Prime day for £39.99. I just ordered a pair

Replying to my own post, but we have had some of the pro pictures come through which are great.

The 77s played the Friday night of a local private festival called The Big Stiff, near Sevenoaks. They had hired in a full lorry to play on, and a full pro PA and lighting rig, along with sound engineer. It was great to play on such pro equipment compared to our usual Facebook marketplace PA & lights. It went pretty well, and we were able to get some good pictures and videos for social media. All I had to take was my bass and pedal, and one of the best things about the night was it only taking 5 minutes to pack up! we played for over 3 hours, which became a bit of a drag to be honest, as it had been a long hot night. I am trying to convince the rest of the guys to play for a bit shorter duration - less is more etc

Played with The 77s last night at the Market House in Maidstone last night. It was our third gig in 4 weeks playing in Maidstone and was by far the best. Quite a tight area to set up in, but a great crowd and we ended up playing for nearly 3 hours.

Amazing, what an opportunity! I saw British Lion last year in a tiny pub in Gravesend, they were really good. I find it amazing that Steve Harris happily goes from playing huge arenas to small bars because he loves playing so much

Have a look at the WL-20L, these are a low impedance version and should be suitable for active bass. I have this set, and it works great. I don't have an active bass, but was looking at buying one when I bought the WL-20L so wanted to make sure it would be compatible for future options. I have been getting a bit of interference now we are using a wireless desk and some members are using wireless IEM's, but I found that if I rescanned after everyone else had set up then it was fine and I just had a 2 & 1/2 hour pub gig with no issues.

The 77’s played in Maidstone again last night, this time at the Druids Arms in the town centre. First time for us at this venue and it went pretty well. We were on a small stage in an outside courtyard, which was nice given the heat. We played pretty well, and I got to use my new amp which sounded awesome (Darkglass Alpha Omega 500). we managed to get the new digital mixer and powered speaker to working as well. The other three all used IEMs which they said worked well, I stuck with the wedge monitor which I couldn’t hear that well. I would like to get IEMs as well, but will likely need to get some custom ones made, as I already have some hearing loss and tinnitus so need ones that have a good seal. Next Saturday we are playing in Maidstone again, at the pub next door!!

Played with The 77s last night at Drakes Cork & Cask in Maidstone which went really well. Wasn’t as busy as we, or the venue were expecting but I think a combination of the heat and champions league kept people away. Used my new terror bass head which sounded great, it wasn’t as loud as the Mk 1 version so I am looking at getting another cab to get more volume out if it. I had some problems with bass last night in that anything on the A string was a lot quieter than the other stings which was very annoying. The venue wanted to book us again so that was a good sign!

It’s just a yoga mat folded in half, from B&M I think. My wife bought it for me as matched the colour of the cab and thought it would look cool. I don’t think it does much sound isolation wise. I used to have a gramma of as well and everything wobbled on it too

The 77’s played at the Chislet Colliery Welfare Club in Hersden, near Canterbury last night. it was our 3rd gig together and went pretty well. Our singer and guitarist tried using IEMs, but didn’t get on too well with them. I think more time setting them up and testing them is required. I hired the Ampeg SVT3 pro again, I also tried an Ashdown RM 220, but could hardly get any sound out of it. I have had so many amp problems recently, I am starting to think my cab might be the problem. It’s an Orange Sp212 and rated at 8ohms/500 watts. I never had any issues when using it with my terror bass but nothing else seems to work that well with it since. we have our next gig in a couple of weeks so will have to sort something better for that, as it’s a big one in a popular town centre pub in Maidstone

Band was called Baklash. I don’t play with them anymore, but think they are still going. We used to play in the Black Bull quite a bit. There was a nice chip shop in Kirton called the Codfather!!!

Used to play in the Black Bull, Kirton a lot in my old band
