Yes I had this problem with my last band it was highlighted when we had a dep drummer and the band really swung and we had a capacity crowd next time we played the same venue with our usual drummer you could see the people get up and leave the band leader asked me what the difference was and I said the only difference was the drummer he didn’t take the hint and I said it more forcefully but the drummer remained so I left pity it could have been a great band

Sorted

Fight the good fight

Yes

I agree with above Endless rehearsals are an absolute pain Unbelievably I have found that some musicians seem to prefer rehearsing to gigging 😂😂😂

Yes

I only ever use the drop off option you then don’t have to wait in just drop it off at your nearest post office simple

I wonder what the OP thinks of the suggestions basschaters have made above

Well done Luke it looks great Lake Placid Blue?

Yep

Done

With a budget of £1000 any of the above mentioned G&Ls are within reach

Yes of course - forgot that one which I’ve yet to try

G&L passive basses including the L1000 and SB1 Plenty of basschaters have had experience of these basses including me, @neepheid @LukeFRC @ped
