I was thinking that I could have a second trailer attached like those aussie roadtrains and have full workshop facilities and accomodation for 'live in' crew.

An 18 wheeler parked along side the stage with a trailer fitted out as a multi tier guitar stand with ev,ry kind of bass you can think of, just because i could afford it! :-)

With a fully chromed Kenworth C510 at the front!

My situation is usually similar to king tuts with what choice I get as my band is often playing a support role and any space left on stage to move is a bonus, but the whole thing about this is a nightmare as different venues have their own problems and it is often impossible to get the sound you,re after the first time at a venue because you never really know how your rig will react till you are into the set and get accustomed to the sound to make any adjustments, this is a pain when most of your rig is off side of the stage.

She looks like a real gem to me, You,ve just got to love those rosewood stripes thru the neck.
Pure class.

Hi.
You can also take a look at voodoo labs 'ground control'.

+1 to all the thanks already said to ped and co for an excellent day out, It was nice meeting up with nick(dr bass) again,and finally meeting the famed mr shuker, I,ll find out later this week just how much my serious gas attack is going to cost me!!!.

Dunno what time I,ll get up but I,ll be there!

Also check out 'Almost Famous' and 'Velvet Goldmine'

Couldn't agree more Jake. I used to run two vehicles (Porsche 944 - the `toy' and a trusty Escort van for transporting my rig!), had major monthly spending power (hence the means to start building on the collection of instruments which I'd started whilst still at school), everything was fantastic - the job involved IT consultancy for TV companies - spent a lot of time down at MTV etc but then everything changed - we were bought out by a competitor and things changed for us. The department was dissolved and I ended up having to change job and go back to being a technical author, which at first was fine. However, things went downhill after this change - many friends lost their jobs and after a period of 6 months I became deeply unhappy being chained to a job which saw me getting home at 10pm every night following a commute home from London.

Many friends of mine thought I was crazy walking out (I was earning £32K at that time) but it was the best thing I'd ever done - I was skint for a while but the collection helped me keep going through some sales and now, 7 years later, I'm earning a decent monthly wage for the most part, mainly through tuition (including the odd guitar lesson!!!), regular gigging and theatre shows. I'm enjoying life again and of course, my own playing is improving through teaching!!! And the collection is now at 51 basses....! My father summed it all up many years ago - `grab life by the b*lls otherwise let it pass you by' - took me till I was 30 to realise this but now my life is mine again and I'm very very happy.[/quote]

More power to you nick!

It would be a blast to compare the bass against my black 4003
As I,m in spalding an all.

If anyone is in london tommorrow and want,s to go down to leicester square at 10am there is a group meeting to protest to the offices of gcap.
I,m going to try and get down from lincolnshire if I get up early enough.

Maybe his bandmates can do something about it.
dark side of the moon still provides an absolute fortune for them every week with most of it in the weekly playlist.

Planet rock have a regular 560,000+ listeners a week.
If anyone has 2mil to spare they can buy themselves a radio station.

It was annonced in the press and on air today that the Uk DAB radio station Planet Rock is officially up for sale and if a buyer is not found the station could be gone by the end of march.
I,m now going to the pub to drown my sorrows.

I have a pair of old beyer dynamics, but they dont seem to hold the bass very well( it tends to sound ike a fart). Am i better off with closed monitor speakers or open back?

Any ideas? [/quote]

Two 8x10,s and a load of gaffa tape?.......
