We have decided to give Rush Hour by Jane Wiedlin a go. No matter how many time is listen to it I can't get 'Tarrant in the Rush hour" out of my head.

I was looking at those. What put me off, or rather sold me more on the Gravity’s, was the metal joints where the wheels are. I’ve replaced so many over the years when they have cracked. Hopefully these will last much longer.

We can get 2 mic stands in that bag as well. We've had those thin bags in the past and they have never lasted long. After the gig one of my guitarists took it out to the car, only to then walk back with. He had forgotten to put the stands in it, thinking someone else had. It was quite funny watching him open the bag to find they were in there.

If my lot can find another keyboard player who also owns the PA and has the contacts for gigs, knows how all the songs go and can put up with imbeciles then yeah, I can be replaced. 😇

Thanks but no, i don’t want another browser. Its not something do everyday, but i do prefer Safari on my phone.

Ive never really got on with those sort of apps. Seems like a lot of wasted space on screen. Saying that, its been a few years so ill have a look. Cheers.

Thanks Ped. I remember we had a discussion year ago where it was the other way around, where mobile wasnt as popular. Yeah, it’s the holding space bar down, and even trying to click at the end of a post that i cant get working. Curser jumps around but never to where it needs to be. Posting is fine, its really just trying to edit afterwards.

I can’t count how many times ive had to abandon trying to edit a post on my iphone 15 pro and go to a computer or ipad. No way to get the typing curser anywhere close to where i need it to be. Not every time, so for those that say ‘i have no issue’, sometimes i dont either, but most of the time i do. Im using Safari which is of course built in to iOS. I know iOS isnt a priority, but even so….. Really, really frustrating and very poor user experience.

Good gig at a retirement village tonight in Bedford. Not sure what time we will get home though.

Thankfully arrived just in time for tonight’s gig. So much lighter than the old ones, and the bag is really well padded.

Wow, this has just reminded me I have one I those. I think ive only used it once and put it away. Got it just after lockdown but after the first gig with it i couldn't be bothered using it anymore lol.

Yeah, ive had a few bits from them over the years.

Cheers guys. I remember years ago we have silver aluminium ones that were gas assisted. Really light and a pleasure to set up and take down. I have been doing some research and went ahead and ordered the Gravity ones (non gas assisted). They seem like they will work fine, i like the bag, and got them for £110 delivered. Another reason for ordering so quick, is that ours are in a car stuck in a garage the other side of town. It was easier to order a new pair now for delivery tomorrow rather than go and get ours.

One of our old speaker stands is starting to fall apart, so it’s time to replace both. They are quite heavy as well. I quite fancy the Gravity GSP5211B, which looks ideal, but im wondering what you guys use in this (sub £150) area. Also looked at the QUIKLOK S171PAK. A bit cheaper but the Gravity has more metal on it where it counts apparently. Just small pub/club gigs so we don’t need anything too professional. Cheers. Happy new year.

Why dont they know them? Asking for a friend 😎

We have our first NYE gig for ages this month. On the one hand I’m really looking forward to the money and it’s going to be an easy gig (another Retirement village), but because of where me and the singer live (my wife) we can’t get home in the car. We live right in the centre on London and just inside the restricted zone for the fireworks. Will be a long night.

This is interesting as I have the H4 Essentials and I can put it clipped to the drum kit and get a clean recording (once it's in my DAW). I think the mic's are rated a bit higher than the H1 as far as levels go, but ive been really impressed with how clean it can record. I also use it to send a feed to our desk for my IEM's. At rehearsals I just put it on a chair in the room facing the PA and get decent recordings. Never had any distortion. It takes one button to start recording and the same button to stop. Neve need to touch the menus. Much easier than the older H4n Pro. I had the H4n Pro pro while and liked it, but the Essential is cleaner (I read about the Pro's clipping at low recording levels, and heard it for myself).

Or even allowed to 😎

Loved the first film but I can't imagine this will be much. I listened to an interview with Derek Smalls (Shearer stayed in character the whole time) on the Rockonteurs recently. I didnt laugh once which was disappointing.

I wonder if the Aliexpress version is like the Gear4music version. I spent ages trying to get the stereo in on XLR working, brought new cables, even sent the first one back and got a replacement (actual they said to keep the first one as it wasn't worth the cost of sending it back). Neither seems to be wired, or at least working, for stereo XLR. The middle 1/4 works fine in both modes. SameXLR cables on the P2 work as expected.

Thanks. Isn't that PC only though? The cable I plan on getting is the Soundswitch. It comes with 3 months free use of their own software, with the option of paying £7.99 a month or buying it outright. I know nothing about these things but I was hoping there might be a freeware option or something cheaper if the cable is not bound to that software only.

Until recently we have always had our lights on some sort of auto mode, but I saw a USB to DMX cable that im hope got get for Christmas It comes with a tail of some software but for my needs I just need something simple and cheap. Not sure if i ll use it connected to my MacBook or an iPad. Probably MacBook. Any guidance, suggestions most welcome.

This is what I made up. Their leads are also colour coded and numbered. Still not enough for some though

What, at the same time? 😵‍💫😎

I was in a band a log time ago with a guitarist and bass player both using wireless. We used to play at the Roadhouse in Covent Garden quite a lot as the guitarist was also the house sound guy on the nights we weren't playing. I remember one gig where both of them went out in to the crowd (this was a sat night so it was packed). All of a sudden the guitar stopped and the bass player started doing a solo. Next thing I see is the guitarist coming back on stage carrying a try with drinks on it for us. Classic!!!
