Happy Jack

The problem with using IEMs at a pub gig is not the £500. It's the endless succession of regulars asking you why you were listening to your mp3 player while you were supposed to be gigging ...

[quote name='lojo' timestamp='1480582933' post='3185532'] that could be someone who loves jumping around and sticking thier tongue out to a shy but talented person ... [/quote] Well that's just rude. Poor shy person, is what I say.

[quote name='TimR' timestamp='1480542684' post='3185349'] [media]http://youtu.be/eizWNzpcFvU[/media] [/quote] Some very good ideas there BUT don't try some of them unless you've gone wireless. Tying your legs together with your own lead and falling face first into the drum kit is not a good look. I feel I should also point out that crashing your headstock into the mic stand (twice) is not good stagecraft.

Not sure that "midrange growl" is entirely compatible with short scale, but you never know. If you can find one, an 80s or 90s SGC Nanyo Bass Collection, ideally an SB320, would be a good choice and still just about within your budget. It's not like there's any shortage of very nice basses at that price, especially if you include pre-owned, but the SB320 would be my pick.

I'd rather buy a pile of bricks. Oh no ... wait ...

Try Googling "golf widow" if you need a clue.

That was just gorgeous - what an extraordinarily talented lady (& band). Do me a favour will ye? When she announces her 2017 tour dates, give us a heads-up?

Getting in touch with your inner vocalist?

[quote name='fiatcoupe432' timestamp='1479940949' post='3180525'] a video you have to see ..... this is are sardinian bagpipes, very popular in sardinia , this guy is a master ......

The second minute is a bit ... erm ... what happens next? Then it really, really starts to grate! I'm genuinely delighted that maestros like him exist, but you couldn't pay me enough to attend a recital.

What's he going to use it for? In terms of bangs per buck (i.e. quality & output -v- lightness & size) the easy winner IMHO is the Barefaced OneTen. Ludicrously good for something that small.

No no no ... it's Woody and Buzz. Have you never seen Toy Story?

Oops ... my bad.

[quote name='scots_flyer1' timestamp='1479822236' post='3179541'] I see a [b]Mammoth[/b] case for £2,700.0 or thereabouts online ... [/quote] I really, [i][b]really [/b][/i]hope that's a typo.

I'm confused. Do you mean cab, or do you mean combo? Hard to see how anyone can recommend a cab if they don't know what amp you are using.

Jolly ergonomic, what?

You can't play 30+ year old songs through a modern PA though. It'll sound really scratchy ...

That is a GREAT photo.

Fool!

Wow! And people say that old-fashioned courtesy is dead. Mind you, they also say that all Canadians are really nice people, so what do they know? Just what Basschat needed just now, a gold-plated Troll on the run from the Mounties.

We once played to an empty pub. I mean empty. Even the bar staff had gone outside for smoke. No fun at the time, but we've spent years telling people about it ...
