[quote name='Bearfist' timestamp='1477035607' post='3159327'] I have just sold the bass in question but i recently had a Darkglass Tone Capsule installed in an ABZ, sounded mega in that bass but quite coloured which is fine if that's what you're after. [/quote] I''m familiar with the u-retro and have it in my Shuker jazz. But the Darkglass sounds interesting, how have you guys wired it ?

Has anyone had one installed and if so what did you go for ?

9667 and counting

Early 80's so it was between Aria SB100 or Ibanez Musician. Couldn't afford either

Assuming music is your hobby, if you enjoy what you play, where you play and who you play with then really, what's more to be had. And when someone comments that the band were good, remember that includes you

Thanks Joe - much appreciated. I figure we'll walk back to Northern Quarter for a beer or 3 Not fussed about seeing Public Enemy but would like to see Paul Heaton

[quote name='PaulGibsonBass' timestamp='1464642621' post='3061126'] 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. [/quote] +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

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
