  1. Regarding charity gigs...

     

    I take it you play covers?

     

    On the originals circuit, quite often we come across promoters who advertise it has a charity gig, "So no pay tonight lads". It's not a charity gig, it's a we don't want to pay the bands gig so my band skip every single one of these.

    Thanks for the replies guys. Appreciated. 
     

    im going to think about it for a couple days. Although it plays perfectly and the truss rod works - there’s a small seed of doubt. Which is probably silly but it’s one of those things that I’ll be thinking about every time I play it. So I may potentially send it back for an exchange. 
     

    Thanks for entertaining my thinking-out-loud on the internet woes. 😅

    The bass plays and sounds great but because of a non-existent problem, you want to send the bass back? Okay...

    Keep em coming chaps, thanks!

     

    Funny how drummers keep cropping up. It is a drummer, he quit without notice but now his replacement has moved in he is suggesting he might have made a mistake. We are using him as a dep initially but the future divides our band. One wants him in, one is undecided. And there’s me!

    I would tell the original drummer to look elsewhere. We're doing absolutely fine and you're not required.

    Never give up, ever. Whatever it is that rocks your world, whatever it is that feeds your soul and gives you purpose, never let go. When you’re gone, it’s over. Until then, f**k everything and do it. 

    Until you realise I would like a wife, children, a mortgage, enough to take care of everyone and being a broke musician is going nowhere after ten years. 

  5. Still using the Beta MKII every rehearsal. I tend to prefer the Beta for my Jazz bass and Spark Booster for my Precision. Really liking the vintage tones and low end retention of the Beta. Works well with my Blower Box.

    Ah the joys of gigging. 

     

    I went to the bar last night. Had a couple of beers. Got home. Watched a bit of telly. Only thing I had to carry was my wallet. 

     

    You've got to absolutely love the gigging thing to put up with it.  I never did. 

    Would rather be gigging than sitting on my arse. 
     

    Music is meant to be played live and not confined to the bedroom.

    I noticed Fender custom shop have announced new models for 2024… if you’ve got £5k to spare you can buy two badly bolted together pieces of wood!

    Out of interest, does anyone here think there’s something magical in these custom shop specials? Would you spend 5k on one of these or for that money might it be possible to buy something of better value!

    You cared enough to post this thread?
