[quote name='largo' post='920968' date='Aug 10 2010, 08:15 PM']Funny there's nobody yet said they don't pay tax on absolutely everything they earn. Are you telling me if you get £40 in your back pocket you declare that? And if you do, then surely you should have an invoice & receipt to prove that's what you earned. And for the record, I pay tax on all my band earnings as well.[/quote] Same with any business

Back when I was handling Gallien Krueger, I was lucky enough to hang out with John when he had his pad (I say pad.... the grounds were mahooosive) in near Chessington. He is a fantastic guy to talk to, very grounded. At that time he was resident bassist at Realworld and Abbey Rd. I first got involved with him when he lost his GK Microbass combo off the back of his Harley rinding into town one day.... had to sort out a replacement for him quickly. Two things I vividly remember about him..... he composed a lot with an Akai MPC500... he really got the best out of it. Also he had this upright bass that had a head of a lion carved into the headstock..... bizarre looking thing. At that time I also introduced Tech Sound Systems (Tecamp nowadays) into the UK.... and John was fond of a little 1 x 12" combo ( he loves 12" speakers) and also a Tech Paracube combo.... I tried to get him to become an endorsee but he was really stuck on the GK Microbass.

Have you tried the Akai unit?

Digital performer for me every time.... alongside Logic.

Let me know i what you want for them... I have a pair of these already and need another set. Are the ribbons intact? do you have the cables and transformers? Jay

(sounds a bit Nigel Tuffnall that but...) the engineer will probably comment on its massive output but he'll sort that out for you! all the best with the project by the way.[/quote] +1 absolutely ideal for recording.....

You can even get funky with a BC Rich!!!!! - [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ABLwmYI09Lw&feature=PlayList&p=74B88FB2DDAC3160&playnext=1&index=5"]Maceo[/url]

Fantastic as usual..... Tales from the Beach hasn't left my car multichanger since that first came out..... Have to get this tomorrow!!

I love it, especially sequenced lines. Have a massive collection of Jam & Lewis' ranging from Herb Alpert to George Michael. These guys were the masters for me....

Hehe.... Wish I had the time... They're a great band.

Just sticking an ad out on behalf of a friend.... I'm a bit too old and fat and bald to get down with the kids :0(

[quote name='Mykesbass' post='898106' date='Jul 18 2010, 03:10 PM']I know a singer who is the quintessential "aging rocker" - long, thinning grey hair, beads, denim etc, zero people skills, terrible singer, yet he is always getting gigs and always puts on a good show. I only realised how bad he was when I heard him without seeing him.[/quote] Mick Jaggers been doing it for his whole career!!

As someone who has been Audited twice for band earnings.... I say regardless of how much you earn (unless its a paltry sum) DECLARE, DECLARE, DECLARE!!!!! I paid £33 tax on my last tax return

You'll be lucky to get anything 1U that size

[quote name='JTUK' post='894472' date='Jul 14 2010, 10:08 AM']Both the drummer and the bass player were lucky to get that gig so good luck to them. I think they survive it and play their part even though it is all Bellamy, IMO. I don't think the type of bass really matters FOH..it is what he feels comfortable playing on stage for the track. I do disagree with gratuitous changes though... and there is more mostly making the sound than the bass in there.[/quote] I don't think they 'got the gig' as such seeing as they have been mates and in a band since they were all about 13
