Replied Still for sale

Mexican Fender Jazz Bass in immaculate condition. Bought new 18 months ago from guitar guitar and only been played a few times as I prefer my P bass. Not a mark on it. Will include hard case in sale. Collect from near Wolverhampton or could possibly meet up in West Midlands area.

Always loved this theme and great bass line

Neither would I but I've met several entertainment secretaries over the years who are oblivious to what the norm is and what the contract may state. They want entertainment from as soon as the room is full until everyone goes home.

In my experience most social clubs pay same as pubs or maybe a little more. What you have to be careful of is how long you play for. Pubs aren't too fussed about breaks but a lot of clubs like the entertainment all night so make sure you agree performance times. Some clubs have bingo inbetween which is fine but otherwise they be looking for 4 hours to fill. I normally offer to DJ inbetween sets and charge them additional for the Disco.

Zoom B1ON is hard to beat. Multi FX, Looper, drum machine and tuner for £40. Love using mine

With me and the rest of my band it's the carrying the gear in and out and setting up that's the tiring part. I have most of the PA so have to carry it in the house when I get home too. When we get older I would seriously consider paying someone to set up the gear for us and look after it. Does anybody do this in their band?

Beat me to it. Apparently the record company added the bells afterwards to give it a Christmas appeal

I was trying to find a link for this too so I could post on here but couldn't find one. I saw the same trailer but BBC are not exactly going overboard in promoting it. Looks like a good series so will be watching all of them

I don't think Big Country ever got near the masterpiece of their first album The Crossing. I think they struggled to try and be mainstream

It's not half the bass it used to be...

I use mine with a passive P bass and a Super Compact Gen 1(15") and it's perfectly loud enough for medium pub gigs of around 100 punters with no PA support.

I've just ordered a pair of these following this thread as I like the idea of attaching to speaker poles. We already have 2 x t bars of par cans but a lot of places we play don't have room for them. Hoping these will be fine for small venues and in big venues we can use them along with the par cans behind us. Thanks

Always loved Budgie's bass tone as can be heard at the start here. Nice and simple but sounds great to my ears
