Very inspirational documentary. Sort of reminded me my youth...

[quote name='T-Bay' timestamp='1506352954' post='3378149'] I doubt it's an air fed mask though, the standard filter type are no good for two pack. It needs to be a full face positive feed type, theybarent cheap but are completely essential. I understand it can also be absorbed through the skin so needs full coverage. To be honest it's best just to avoid it, there are good alternatives that are far safer. [/quote] What alternatives woukd you suggest?

Thanks. I've used up a fair few of cans but invested in a mask. It's brilliant , can't smell a thing when painting.

Hi chatrers, Does anyone own a spray gun and a compressor or has exprerience using one and recommended one. I've been can spray painting a guitar project and it costs an arm and a leg. Surely a quality spray gun is more expensive but in long term it pays off. I've got a few projects lined up.

Watching now.1st minute already enjoying it.

There are some good videos where the player demonstrates the gear playing various techniques but slapping?

[quote name='fretmeister' timestamp='1505915892' post='3375188'] Depends on the injury. How far would YOU go if because of someone else your wrist was broken and you couldn't work for 2 months? Could you still pay your rent or mortgage if you only got Stat Sick pay for 2 months? PLI is dirt cheap because the risk is low. Or join the MU - then if a landlord refuses to pay you, they'll get the money out of them. You get the use of their lawyers included in the membership fee. [/quote] I get what you're saying. Everytime i see i pub band, it's the drunkest of the crowd in the bands face dancing and junping with a pint glass in their hands. This alone is a health and safety hazard alone to band members. The list is not exhaustive. Surely it's up to the insurer to investigate the genuity and liability of the claim.

[quote name='fretmeister' timestamp='1505915031' post='3375181'] Because you are a separate entity to the landlord. In other words if a customer is hurt they are going to blame you in any way they can so they don't have to claim on their insurance. And even if it is just a trip that for example causes a broken wrist - you are going to be paying out a good £10,000 for injury, loss of earnings, any private treatment expenses and the legal fees. If you haven'g got insurance you'll also be paying your own lawyer to make sure the claim was a valid one in the first place. Trips, electrocutions with your gear, singer throwing something into the crowd, PA stack falling on someone etc etc. None of that is the landlords fault - and even if it was - he will try to shift the blame to you. [/quote] Understand but what length do claimants go to. Looks like a pub band is mostly for fun but all the cost us it worth it financially?

[quote name='stingrayPete1977' timestamp='1505915062' post='3375182'] They would if you were employed as the house band and on their books, if a builder working at your house damaged your neighbours fence would you be happy to claim on your own insurance or would you want the builder to sort it out directly? It's no different. [/quote] I get this.

I am aware that in this day and age people like suing and making claims but why on earth would you need a PLI? Isn't that what the landlord should cover along other licensing regulations? I understand the tripping hazards etc etc.

[quote name='silverfoxnik' timestamp='1505730226' post='3373775'] Indeed we are ! 😀 [/quote] I'd prefer basschat name and first name only, if I was to attend.

[quote name='Conan' timestamp='1505717718' post='3373667'] Of course. All that is fine if you want to sound like "yourself". But if you have to try to sound like a number of different players/bands/styles, then EQ can be your saviour (IMO). [/quote] Agreed.I watched a cover band and both bass and guutar players were stepping on their pedal boards. Often between the songs.

My volume on p bass is on the max so is the tone. I seldom use the tone pot. Amp settings are set to a mid range. No idea which eq means what. I move/ turn buttons until it sounds good to me. Steve Harris has his tone on bass bypassed. Eddie Van Halen hasn't got a tone pot on his stripe guitar.

[quote name='mcnach' timestamp='1505669168' post='3373460'] I drink, and sometimes quite a bit... I still don't behave that way. Don't help them find a cheap excuse, please. That behaviour is a choice. [/quote] When i go out once im a blue moon i drink too but know how to behave too.

I'm using Amplitube4 via focusrite scarlet. Can't conplain.

What does one expect from an alcohol fuelled audience?

Doesn't everyone going on about lighter gear? I can't see anyone setting up a pub gig every weekend unloading robots. Can they play cannibal corpse or improvise jazz. Oh.. basschat musically related items for sale ad Seller...I've got a fully automated relic robot for sale. It's a green BAP 2088 series II Buyer..What's the weight? Seller...Just under 3.8 tonnes and requires a 380 v three phase connection. Buyer..Would you trade in for a double auto DD 177 robot drummer. Seller.. No too heavy for my back Buyer..I'll throw in a heavy duty padded robot strap.. Well..i prefer humans

[quote name='Graham' timestamp='1505544373' post='3372656'] It's next week old chap, hope you can make it then [/quote] Must be overworked. Thanks mate

I have been toying with the idea of going as it's under 1 hour drive but I'm shattered after work and have the house to myself today. Enjoy the bass bash

[quote name='Nicko' timestamp='1505466896' post='3372082'] Seems like some of them have been around that long. [/quote] Lol. Thanks possibly 4 decades then 😉

Nice work. What does it sound like? Might buil myself one.

Think it's all about personal taste in music. Some bands mentioned in this thread are stadium filling bands playing for 40+ decades still going strong. Their audience consist of teens to OAP age. My choice of an overrated band however is Oasis. Singer is Amy Winehouse.

[quote name='lownote12' timestamp='1504935204' post='3368372'] Its easy with Barefaced cabs. They're programmed to incrementally distress with time. I look after mine like a baby and yet the Tolex is starting to peel. [/quote] And they ain't cheap

[quote name='blue' timestamp='1505161076' post='3369953'] It's crazy, I get this great dirty distorted sustain though the headphones and nothing on stage. Blue [/quote] I haven't played on stage for about 25 years. But I can only think of that different settings would apply live and studio like environment room. Live you have other instruments mixing in with frequencies so I'd say try different eq settings live. I've listened to isolated studio Steve Harris tracks and I live the sound. I also listened to isolated live sound. Two completely different sounds. The live sound seems to have plenty of gain but it sits just Steve Harris like in the mix.
