Just finished 2 days of running the PA for the stage at the annual Nailsea 'international' Bike Show (Bristol). Excellent weekend. 12 really good bands of different genres of music. They were all great. All went very smoothly and all the bands were happy with their sounds. We played last on Saturday night. Unfortunately, it didn't start so well for us. Guitar player broke a string 2nd song, singers mic went intermittent and a bit of feedback. But after that, we went down a storm. Great gig. If anyone on here played, thanks for a great time.

When did you realise….. you weren’t going to “make it”?
Buddster replied to Rayman's topic in General Discussion
In 1983, at the age of 18 I left the band I was in as I landed a job in a Bristol studio and couldn't do both. I felt I had more of a career in music working in studios than in a band. I knew that we were never going to be signed (despite the singers ego), but was totally paranoid after I left that they just might. However, with exposure to better bands who didn't get signed, it didn't take long to realise that they never were and I'd made the correct decision. I've worked with a few bands that did get signed up by major labels, record an album but had no promotion and were basically a tax right off for the label. A very sad situation for the bands involved. -
Probably Hot Water by Level 42 on loop! Serious answer though would be that I just started working in London studios so very much into production /sound so Songs from the big chair, ABC, Eurythmics Sweet Dreams, Purple Rain, Art of Noise etc.

Beyer DT 250. Used them at work for 20 years so know and trust them.

With no money outlay, for me, this is your best option. Is the bleed effecting the front of house sound, or have you just noticed how bad it is when soloing the tracks? When I've run the FoH sound for bands, I'm amazed at the bleed when listening pfl solo, (esp snare down vocal mic) but the mix sounds fine as it's blended and balanced as a whole by listening to the mix. It's not perfect by any means, but you'll never completely eliminate it, one learns to deal with it I guess. As for drummer vocal mics, completely agree they're a PitA (both the drummer and the mic). Especially if they won't help you out

Definitely eat! I'll bring my 76 jazz along, bought from this very site this year. But mainly browse and chat.

I'd love to come along to my first ever bass bash. Happy to pay the £13 upfront.

Cheers guys, The drop down menu on the search text window isn't there on my phone browser, but as Reggaebass says, clicking on Topic further down then brings up the forum selection menu. Sorted Thanks both for the help.

Thanks for the reply. But what am I missing? Regardless of which forum I'm in, if i do a search using the same word but in different forums, I still gets results from the whole site, not just from that forum. Eg, typing (randomly) 'wallpaper' in the market place forum or basses for sale, i get results from the General forum.

Hi Is it possible to do a search just within one section? For instance, if i wanted to just search for 'fender jazz' in the For Sale section rather than the whole forum? Cheers in advance

We play gigs in the same local pub where that album cover was photographed and was recorded. Rich will know it too as he lives in the same town.
