    We have had very good results using Facebook. After identifying venues we have approached them via our Facebook profile to theirs, and we have picked up a lot of work now that way. Our page has photos, Soundcloud links (forget CDs...), set list etc.

    We still get gigs through more traditional methods but we're finding that social media really works for us.

    +1 to this method. I 'messenger' the venue and then write a post on their page to tell them I've messaged about gig opportunities. I've a template for the first message and the subsequent ones. You can normally obtain a response eventually even if it's a thanks but no thanks response. It's a numbers game so target as many as you can and keep a list/database/spreadsheet of all your comms

    Of course the key to all this is building long term relationships with venues and getting regular bookings.

    And always try to get the rebook date on the night

  2. Our singer has lost her voice overnight and we're having to pull out of a gig tonight at The Drysalters near Elland Road

    If anyone can fill the slot then give the guy a call on 07496 362267

    We're a rock/pop/indie covers band so something similar would be welcomed. We'd agreed a normal pub rate

    Where are you?

    Edited and found you. I'd be happy to collect it.
    I'm heading up to manchester in the next week if you want to pick it up from me.

    I have feedback here too so I'm not a shifty character! Well not that shifty. :)

    Thanks guys, for some reason I couldn't find this post and didn't pick up these responses. The auction ended with no bids and the bass is up again with and end date of next Friday 19th

    So if you're still in the position and happy to help, let me know :-)

    I may be passing PT later this week. Could do a detour.

  5. I'm looking at a pj bass on fleabay but it's a collection only option

    Just wondered if any kind hearted soul who would consider helping me out if I win it and be able to pick it up, package up and send to me ?

    It's coming with a gig bag rather than a case

    Obviously I'd pay for all the costs etc 😄

  6. Lovely 2007 anniversary edition Stingray HS4 in Pacific Blueburst with maple neck. One tiny ding on the matching headstock but otherwise immaculate. Classic stingray tone from the humbucker with the addition of a more jazz like single coil and any combination in between. Comes with an anniversary blue hard case.

    Priced to sell at £795

    Prefer local pickup or halfway meet and might trade for a really nice jazz or a sterling with adjustment as required.
