Incidentally, you really do need to follow the SoundCloud link to get the full value from this listing. Trust me, you won't be disappointed. Always leave them wanting less. -

I'll repeat my suggestion from a few years back. Scan the topic titles here on Basschat. At any given moment, you'll find at least half a dozen workable band names. Off Topic is a particularly rich resource. How about The Onscreen Abbreviations?

Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way.

Hmmmmm. Video DJ or Manchester derby? We've all made tougher decisions than that.

And you can make it worse - I've seen a number of pub bands in London where the 'spontaneous banter' is clearly scripted and rehearsed. My God does that suck. My favourite was a 4-piece band where both guitarists and the bass player had mics & stands. About 30 minutes in to the first set, I finally twigged that one guitarist did all the singing and ... erm ... that was it. There were no BVs or anything going on. The second guitarist and the bass player each had a mic & stand purely to let them do the pre-prepared banter.

Yes to both. Why do you ask?
-
Do you mean 'guitar' or is it actually a bass?

I'm still not convinced that you should be parking a Ferrari outside the Dog & Duck ...

Cheap thing by Equinox, worked fine last time I plugged it in. Collection from HA1 3RG or WC1E 7BD.

And then of course there's stinky poo-Glo:

Thanks Mud, very helpful. The landlord now is an Irishman (Shane) - don't know if it's the same guy. We're there on Sat 30th December, which may or may not turn out to be a dreadful night to play our first gig there!

Just bought a pair of ART 322A cabs from Tom - lovely chap, very helpful, knows his stuff.

We're playing there after Xmas, first time at the pub and we know nothing about it. Worse, none of us lives anywhere near Chingford and can be arsed to go up there on a recce. What's it like? How big is it ... is there a stage ... any problems with the load-in ... how are they on volume ... what's the crowd like ... the usual.

This is a pair of cheap Chinese PA cabs branded as 'Class D' (yes, I know) which I bought maybe 10 years ago. These are NOT disguised Mackies or whatever, they are NOT top-quality and they will NOT transform your sound. But they'll do a job for you and they will NOT cost you very much. The range of scuff marks is impressive and you can see that these cabs have been relic'd by a true Master of the trade, but they're fully functional for all that. They can be used as a perfectly reasonable pair of speakers for vocals in a band with backline, or as the tops for a PA with a separate sub-woofer, or (probably best) as wedge monitors or side-fills. I've put £50 as a vague guide. Make me an offer. They can be collected from HA1 3RG or at any Junkyard Dogs gig - http://www.junkyarddogslondon.co.uk/index.html -

They're in 'Amps & Cabs' because of course they also offer an entry-level chance to test the FRFS stuff for your bass rig that is so popular on Basschat just now.

I can't believe that no one has mentioned the leather handle ...

The thing I love about this photo is the decision to mic up the stacks ...

It's a mighty fine line ...
