Looks a bit suspect to me.... look at the markings around the neck-plate....??

The brand is ok..... cheap but ok..... brought into the uk by Proel.... the same people who bring Markbass in. J

Also don't forget to include the agency fee into your price......

I can't believe that you charge as little as you do..... You really need to be looking at a fee of at least 7k + expenses for those 3 days.......

Nice

I can't believe how many stupid faces I pull......

Ooops and another..... flicking the V's =

This one is awful -

Depends on several factors....... Are they cheap far eastern units?? how much RF loss is there going to be in the venue.... Are the batteries in good check? Has the system been set up correctly....? I use wireless 90% of the time and rarely have issues

I bought a custom bass just so I could play covers.... particularly Mustang Sally!!!

Just don't do it with an 18v Status....... like some twonk did Sunday.... I nearly knocked my pint over I was laughing so much....

HAve you looked at the MB2 from GK...... I tried the Markbass & Genz and the GK was the one I bought.... much bigger/warmer sound to it

Gotta say thats gonna be a tough call.... 11th Dec is prime xmas party night.... most bands are booked.... Especially ones with Brass sections... Can you PM me your budget as I may have something to offer J

Spy Austin's kool player.... however this isn't his best.... I still like Nathan's version - [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G6wG71TR2_0"]P.U.T.P. Loop[/url]

Black or Graphite!

I knew I would end up repeating myself at some point during this thread....... Guys.... if you do get into the whole wedding thing seriously..... please please please do not undersell yourself.... Don't think of it as a pub gig..... Don't think of yourself as a band..... you are a service provider.....

[quote name='OldGit' post='618681' date='Oct 6 2009, 03:39 PM']£2.5k That's half a wedding fee for your band, isn't it? [/quote] hehehehe

[quote name='peety' post='618660' date='Oct 6 2009, 03:20 PM']Because of work and other commitments as a band we have previously been happy playing a limited number of gigs maybe 20 a year quite a large %age of which are weddings and have always managed to do this by word of mouth recommendations etc,. However we have now decided we would like to gig more and as our preferrd gigs are weddings we have along with agencies been looking at wedding fairs as a way of generating more bookings, just wondering how many of you attend these and if you find them useful and or worthwhile as there seem to quite a few going on at the moment and the cost doesn't seem massiely prohibitive. Also would be interested to know what you take as promo, dvd's, cd's cards posters, website info i know it's a fairly general question but would be grateful of any advice or experiences of them thanks steve[/quote] We exhibit at The National Wedding Show every year......... It gets us about 50% of our bookings for the year..... So it's worth it. But... A bobby basic stand plus a single power point is going to cost you about £2.5k. Then you have all of your marketing material, staffing, hotel costs etc..... not cheap.

[quote name='V4lve' post='618521' date='Oct 6 2009, 01:30 PM']Hi, Having small hands makes long quick stretches along the neck a bit of a challenge for me. Currently trying to learn the bridge part for the Jackson's "I Want You Back" and finding the first two phrases a bit hard. Requires me to move my whole hand quickly (rather than simply place a finger) which is a bit hit and miss and makes it easier to loose my way. Anyone got any tips?

[quote name='JTUK' post='618274' date='Oct 6 2009, 10:20 AM']This still going..?? Ok...Flea is a 40 yr old souless funk punk, but who cares... ?? if you like him you like him..and anything anyone else says about him will not register.. I love the way people get so wound up about entirely subjective threads like these... classic..[/quote] Agreed..... Macs are far superior to PC's..........

Good to see another UK name up and running..... but that is a lot of money.... I can't believe they're that good after the few I've tried.... Am interested to see the new models though

Such a tease!
