    Cheers Bob, and I think you are spot on, I think we should have an absolute minimum charge for both categories, which cannot be broken without full band consent.

    I agree with all of that, and again to put some perspective to it, this band has been around nearly 30 years, well respected, great following, always packs out a venue, and has the place jumping. Now if we were starting out or were a bit of a scratch band, then fair enough, but we have all paid our dues, spent a fortune on kit, I also have to bring the lights and background music too, so am getting very peed off with this, and am considering telling him he needs a dep for those gigs.

    So, yet again our singer has booked some weddings and parties and seriously underpriced us again. Now, normal pub fee is £200 - £250, that's fine, that is pretty much the norm I believe, but he has just taken a private party booking an hours drive away for £200 for a five piece band, and a wedding for £300, as we all know a wedding gig is an all day affair, where we will have to bring all the lights, background music etc, set up midday, pack down around 2am, you all know the drill. My question is what do you guys charge for weddings and parties? what do you consider fair recompense?

    Cheers guys, great advice as usual...

    Mind you, the last two messages I left for Roqsolid remain unanswered, we're talking weeks too! Oh well, I will remain optimistic and keep you all posted.

    I have noticed that my right thumb is not repairing, now what I mean by this is that I tend to rest my thumb on the top of a pichkup (the sharp cornery bit), and after a night of playing have a really nice indent in it, but it still hurts days later. Now, either I have to stop digging my thumb into the corner of the pickup, or create a curve on the pickup with sandpaper or learn the harmonica. Anyone had a similar experience and has a great solution? Cheers Stuart Dentythumb

    Where are you based?

    Graeme is a top bloke to deal with and he looks after his kit, and he bought me a coffee! Trade with absolute confidence, like the majority of basschatters, all round good egg.

    Open to sensible offers?

    Thanks Chris, These are surprisingly good, and with the upgrades even better!

    Will also entertain trades on either a bass head or bass guitar also.

    So, reading between the lines, I am getting the feeling I should buy more roqsolid then?

    JTUK, I know you are right, and I have always used them, and I guess will again, just thought I would put it out there.

    Hi Guys, Much as I love Roqsolid covers, Im looking at nearly £90 for two rain covers, and it got me to thinking, there must be a clever and cheaper alternative. I've seen cardboard and gaffa tape, Ive seen converted tarps etc.. What are your thoughts?

    Hi guys, Ebay just removed this because of a certain american companies issues with body shape. So, just to move it along quickly this cracking as new bass can be yours for £150 plus postage. I can send you pics to your email address but it is as new and you can easily google it, just make sure a certain Mr R isn't looking over your shoulder!

    Hi All, I got this from a fellow basschatter fairly recently see link below. Not for me I am afraid, but it is a well built beast and he did a good job on it, so I will pass it on for the same price less a quid, £99 posted!

    Hi Guys, I have a Laney Richter rig comprising of: Laney Richter RB7 2 x 10" combo (with upgraded precision speakers) Laney Richter RB115 1 x 15" matching cab This is a surprisingly good and competant gig rig with plenty of punch, and the precision speakers are a really sweet sound. I got this from a fellow basschatter and it has been very successful at every gig. Only selling as I am moving over to try some Ashdown gear. It is in excellent condition and I am asking a very reasonable £250 for both collected or we can arrange to meet up if not too crazy a distance! Also, might trade for a decent head or a bass! Cheers Stuart
