Gigged it Sunday, the set required the drummist to hear pretty much every word of the singer, and it worked rather nicely 👍

I'd get @d_g to do a light relic finish so that the bass retains a sense of 'well-played but generally well-maintained '74....', he's somewhere between a scientist and an artist when it comes to finishes 👍

I couldn't agree more, especially the final sentence re the arts. I found myself in exactly that spot a few years back and it was not a happy place. It's why if you go into business you really do need to study the science or principles of going into business beforehand

There are tales on BC and Talkbass of lutheirs who fail catastrophically, and reading some of the tales I can't escape the feeling that many of them failed because they didn't have a good understanding of how things might look in two years time if they proceed on their present trajectory, for example, promised timelines, post-sale care etc. Working methods/T7Cs that work fine when you have 10 orders can fail disastrously when you have 15 Either way, good luck @Silky999

Intuitively yes, but not if the seller is a business

Electricity and water, read the above? If you're going ahead and rain's a possibility, get an expert in to check the circuits and supply, check your insurance (esp public liability), and veer on the side of caution. BTW I did call off one of the gigs referred to in the original post, which was a birthday party for a friend which ended up as to all intents an acoustic singalong under a gazebo in torrential rain

We had a similar thing happen with what looks like a similar type of operation Steve (large community arts centre). They did it in a slightly different way, that is every person we spoke to directed us to someone else. When we found the person responsible for payment they tried the 'Your quote wasn't in the correct form' thing. IIRC our singer just persisted, went to everyone about it (local council etc), and after a couple of months we got paid. What really annoyed us was the the gig was rammed, with the businesses in the space itself (food, bars, retail) telling us they'd never had such a large crowd in, in fact one of them ran out of food, but the people who run the place are just creating bad PR for those businesses by ensuring that bands like our will never play there again 😡 Hope you get it sorted Steve

You’re a far more polite person than me Andy 👍

Yellowburst 🤔

God that was boring

Wasn’t really the other guys fault mate, looks like O/P left amp plugged in, gotta look after your own gear 🤔

I suggest you work out the answer for yourself while you fix your own amp

Nice

Second that @nuno1959 there are people on here who are seriously knowledgeable and who can help you sort the problem, it’s a lot easier if you get them onside first 👍

Great playing, if a little Jaco-esque for my taste, but nice to see a virtuoso FL player using a Precision, or at least a P/J 👍

Yep, it ain't what gear you play, it's how you make it sound that matters, no doubt @Linus27 has got the latter covered 👍
