Ruslan Sirotas piano solo on this is great.

Can +1 on the yamaha. They are fantastic. Also take a look into Sire, the V7 and P7s are fantastic value for money

Big fan of Janek Gwizdalas stuff. Adam Neely and Rick Beato as previously mentioned too.

No, Royal Caribbean. Apparently they are looking at sailings in asia starting in july

I was scheduled for a cruise contract beginning of September, it hasnt been cancelled....yet?

SKB bass safe bass worked for me fine on multiple flights over the years and it's still going strong. Sometimes I even squeeze two basses in there, othertimes I've just put extra undies in because you never know.

Hey folks. I have a Yamaha BB435 that's taken abit of a hit on the headstock which has knocked one of the tuning pegs loose. It's really rattling now, still working just really annoying! I wanna get hipshot ultralights as an upgrade but I'm unsure what size I would require and I cant seem to find anything on the google. I'm guessing it would be the 1/2" size? Also are the licensed ones a real drop in quality? They are quite pricey for the full set with the shipping as I can't seem to fine a UK supplier. Thanks

Usually working in the Party Band on cruise ships. Its abit like prison here at the moment, I'd know because prison officer was my old job 😂

A nice overdrive helps alot too. Sansamp bass driver is my go too.

Vaguely on topic with Hermes... I decided to part with alot of books and my entire CD collection with music magpie. About 5 sizable boxes full with a value of around £200. The hermes tracking stated it was on it's way to them but amazingly it never made it. Contacted MM after seven days to resolve the issue. Couple of days later the moneys in my bank but the boxes never made it to MM. I'm happy cos I got paid but I would NEVER use Hermes!

My friend is going through some difficulties with his band at the moment arguing about frequency of rehearsals. He has a second kid on the way, a full time job and he teaches so is a busy dude and has been rehearsing with a newly formed band every week for a while (3 hours a week). He says they are gig ready but others in the band don't agree. He said that the productivity isn't good enough during the rehearsals and that's why they think they aren't gig ready. I've seen videos and they are as good as any pub band I've seen. My mates theory is that if they rehearse once every two weeks it will force them to be more productive instead of everyone messing around inbetween songs etc. How often do your bands rehearse? Do you go in with set goals and time frames?

John Mayer October 18th Manchester. The thought of this is keeping me sane whilst I play in a terrible band on a terrible cruise ship 😂

The last two ship contracts I have done have been ampless with in-ears. In fact the last couple of dep gigs have been in ear monitoring jobs too, I might scrap the amp altogether...

Line6 G10 for me. It's great, served me well over the last year or so.

I had a leas than pleasant experience in Bahrain, I would approach with caution.
