[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

[quote name='Dazed' timestamp='1454852274' post='2973515'] 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. [/quote] 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 :-)

[quote name='gelfin' timestamp='1455032355' post='2975225'] I may be passing PT later this week. Could do a detour.

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 😄

Markbass - 3 different presets for both chorus and flange

[quote name='bassman7755' timestamp='1452609481' post='2951587'] What is it about the streamliner your trying to improve on ?. [/quote] Although it's never happened to me, I worry about tube failure !

Oh, and I guess it's right to add the Genzler Magellan 800 into the mix. All 4 options are a similar new price

Decided to replace my Streamliner 900 and go for a lightweight all solid state amp to run my 2 TKS S112 cabs but am spoilt for choice between: Mesa Boogie subway Tonehammer 500 Tecamp Puma 900 Any recommendations ?
