Original Idea.... not a fan but I'd like to try this

Any headline with the words 'Guy, Pratt and Knob' in make me smile

I'd steer clear of LD Systems all together.... had too many issues with them in the past.... and their customer service is non existent!

I am a convert to status for a number of years now.... You can have a listen to various clips of my basses here, most are of a All Graphite Kingbass 5 string 32" scale and a few are with an S2 Classic 5 string bolt on.

Mark King or Flea?

Could be worse... Loads of videos of pick playing ;0)

Just so I know.... I there an issue if I buy the book and scan the pages to PDF for my iPad ?

I'd have to say that the output of these cabinets is very good... I have a set of the 1x12 and also a 4x10 and they are just as every bit as good as the Aguilar 112 set up I have!

[quote name='Major-Minor' post='1245188' date='May 26 2011, 08:44 AM']If you think that creating and playing simple repetitive note patterns is boring and waste of your time, then maybe the bass is not the instrument for you !!! They do say that bass players have to be great musicians because we have fewer notes than most musicians to be musical and creative with.[/quote] How on earth do we bassists have fewer notes???

The pedals worth what people are willing to pay.... I think they are worth the money as I've not heard another peel come close... (anyone want to buys markbass super synth while I think of it). It's the same as any obsolete piece of kit that is a bit niche....

Jamiroquai for me!

You can get very very similar sound to this with an Akai Deep Impact.... The you have to be quick on the string muting though to get the effect correctly

[quote name='LawrenceH' post='1237448' date='May 19 2011, 09:27 PM']Out moonlighting as a sound engineer I've got to say I've seen good, versatile functions bands die on their arses just because the audience aren't up for it. It's amazing how far from appropriate some bookings will be.[/quote] You cannot control the audience. As I've harped on about in countless similar threads, Wedding/Function market is a very different gig. You have to put yourself out there as an entertainment supplier rather than a band. It's a different mentality altogether. The worst/best scenarios are when you play these functions where the bar is in a completely separate room to where the Band/DJ are performing. This happens a lot and does make me wonder if the planners think about this at all. I think overall it really depends on where you want to pitch yourself in the market place. There are great bands that go out for little money and 'bands' that go out for big wedge. One 'band' that I really admire is the Bogus Brothers, not a band in the traditional sense but they put on shows which are very cheesy but their work roster is quite enviable. You should check them out, they have their sh*t together.

Don't do it.... it's a complete waste of your time..... honest.... I really wouldn't bother if I were you. ...that's another one out the way....

The only answer is all of the above. You need to get out there and do the legwork, its the only way you will gain ground. There are countless threads on BC if you look about Function/wedding work.... it's not the same mentality as playing in a covers/pub band. You are a service provider. You need to have that mentality rather than thinking of yourself as a band. Get out there, do the legwork, make the contacts, reap the rewards!

Scrap the wood and buy a Status!!
