Aww. No way. I loved me some ZZ Top, especially the bouncing thump of Dusty’s bass.
-
Conspiracy claptrap, that’s what!! -
Isn't the Forte basically the B|Amp without the DSP and screen? (The Luddites version, if you will.) I do know that every review/comment I've seen from someone who has either is that it's amazeballs.
-
@Dood probably has a review of it online. I know he has one for the B|Amp

£30 per month is the extra bit, for one pedal at a time. £55 for 2, £75 for 3.
-
Nobody needs music? Why does it exist then? That’s along the lines of letting all creatives suffer as most seem to be doing in these constrained times: after all what have they done for us? (Goes the refrain)
-
No. That’s defeatism borne of late-stage capitalism.
-
But the option wasn’t there because the precedent was set by other bands willing to play for nothing.
-
Poor analogy. You’re being asked to come to a gig and play for the benefit of others. Many such events may well feature paid bar staff, some of whom may just have started doing such work. They still deserve a wage.
-
You could have learned the same skills while being paid: it’s not mutually exclusive, you don’t need L plates on your amps!
-
There’s a difference between unpaid and very poorly paid. Also a difference between unpaid overtime (implicit in some employment contracts) and volunteering.
-
Because they know better, apparently. Pressure not to complain. Go look at twitter; many small acts have a hard time having to play for nothing but feeling like they can’t do anything about it.
-
And so you perpetuate the problem! Your practicing was in the studio/bedroom/garage surely. If you’re being asked to perform your skills for the entertainment of others, you ought to be paid.
-
Nonsense! I’ve learned my career skills while working and being paid. If I needed training they would pay for that too.
-
If I were to change careers I would still expect to get paid by my new employers, even if I needed time to become fully productive.
