  1. We have this one older guy that shows up to our gigs. Without fail he's always found laying on the floor somewhere passed out. Blue
  2. Agreed, in theory the Ampeg di/pre amp seems really cool. Dave what would I really be getting for my hard earned $400.00. I don't think it will change my life. Lol Daryl
  3. We played a 6-9 three peice acoustic show. It was freezing outside, 50 degrees by the lake. It was also damp and we were struggling to keep our guitars in tune. Very engaged crowd. Blue
  4. I use a basic di for acoustic gigs. A new pre amp di would probably be nice but it's not really urgent. Daryl
  5. It's my Gibson Custom Shop ES 335 bass in vintage faded cherry. Blue
  6. Vintage car show gig on Saturday. Blue
  7. She's Right I'm Left Acoustic gig tonight at Revere's in Delafield . Classy place and high end clientle. Blue
  8. Not an easy song to sing. I like this and I'm not sure I would call it a mistake. Blue
  9. I've been looking at the Ampeg DI Pre Amp, $399.00. I guess you have to have really good monitors or IEM for it to be effective. Blue
  10. I know there are folks in the audience that don't know that one of us up there is playing bass.Ever had someone ask you how long you've been playing guitar? Lol😂 Blue
  11. Yeah, I'm not always aware of mistakes made by my bandmates. I'm well aware of mine, wrong notes, getting lost in a song when you can't hear. I try not to make the same mistake twice. Blue
  12. Pedals can be a pain, I get that. They don't always integrate with other pedals or PA systems. Ever had a sound guy give you the " stink eye " during a sound check and ask you if you have any pedals engaged. I don't use most of my pedals. And you can run into problems if your playing a gig in a venue that has electrical wiring from the 1940s. However, I'm always going to use a little chorus. Blue
  13. Looks like a huge gig. 👍 Blue
  14. Nice shot ! Blue
  15. Was it just the one guy that fell or was everyone there shined up ? Lol 😂😂 Blue
  16. We've been using the RCF PA for a few years. Small and powerful . Blue
  17. Nice video clip Dave. Daryl
  18. Nice ! And a great charity to raise money for. Blue
  19. Lovely G & L. G& Ls with the active pre amp are one of the best kept secrets out there. I used my 1993 G& L ASAT last night too. Blue
  20. " More Than Our Usual Fee " That's the best kind of fee to get. Lol 😂 Blue
  21. We played a wedding tonight as a favor. We're not a wedding band. We had enough standards and songs people could dance to to get by. We were sounding good tonight. We have new lighting. Blue
  22. Everyone should be careful with gigging on uncovered stages on hot summer days. We had this challenge last weekend at a 10 band 2 stage festival. We were lucky, our slot was only 40 minutes, and that was cut by 10 minutes when the " powers that be" announced the winning raffle numbers . Blue
  23. That is unfortunate and also leads us to another discussion. How transparent is your band leader. How much of the behind the scenes and business stuff shared with us ? I just found out tonight we just purchased $1,000.00 in t shirt inventory. Blue
