wotnwhy

I loved his performance that got aired on BBCi player last year, so was really looking forward to this, but like others i found it to be a little cringey, and Stevie's voice was not on form IMO. Turned off after Higher Ground (i had work in the morning, which was a factor in that descision mind)

[quote]They wanted your blessing not your permission.[/quote] Telling them by text they're leaving doesn't sound like a request for permission OR blessing. Agree with what you say about being the big man though, courtesy and friendliness pays dividends no matter what the situation.

gave away a 2x18!? i'd have PAID for that!!

Even though the Metro on it's own has more than enough grunt!..

No-one will be able to shift big heavy speakers. The value will plummet. People will realise there is a sound difference between heavy and light. The heavy sound will become retro and cool. Price will skyrocket.

They sound like trouble. You could do B or C, then 6 months of hard work later turn around and do it again. They've shown you they're ficcle and un-commited. If your in this band to push it and get places, these don't sound like the people you want to do it with..

indeedy, always always ALWAYS have someone standing at the back of the van, when the next person comes out with equipment the other can go up and get some. It's simple and effective and gives you 30 seconds to catch breath when loading/unloading

Here's my current 'big rig' Been wanting to try out Eden for a while and i'm so glad i've now had the chance as these amps really are something, and it's voice is definitely 'up my street' as it were. The eq on the amp is crazy, the knobs turn through about 30 clicks (as a guesstimate) and just a boost/cut of 2 or 3 makes a big and (imo) very musical difference to the sound. As for volume, it's something else.. the combo alone doesn't even break a sweat in a loud metal band, so with the 2x15 added i think this is going to be the perfect setup for my new dub project. Gassing for a WT550 now, but nonetheless very very happy!

If you have a neck you like take it to Jon. When i had mine made i was in love with the neck on my MTD Kingston, so i showed him that and he made it spot on!

I've never seen a table that looks that good!

When you mentioned the acidic sweat you caught my attention. I took my bass to Jon (Shuker) last year for some TLC for it's 5th birthday, and Jon was pretty shocked at the state of it. "Are these the same strings that were on it when you picked it up??"... Uh, no.. They're about 3 weeks old... The screws for the pickups were so rusted over a screwdriver wouldn't work.. And all of this because i have horrendously acidic sweat. Didn't think there was anything i could do about it so this is very intruiging! But to be honest i just don't see how the gloves will stop it. My hands will still sweat, and i don't think the gloves are watertight! And even if they were, my arms and face are still gonna sweat, and the gloves wont stop that...

Quilted body, flamed neck, birdseye fingerboard

you are feeling as though your skills on the instrument are not being expressed to the audience. get a guitar and join a steve vai tribute band. that should get it out of your system..

tell the venue/gig promotor/whoevers paying for this guy about your problems! if i was paying for a sound man and knew this is what people thought of him i'd be positively ashamed! does no-one who puts on gigs listen to them? how is he still getting work?

All i know is that i'd love to try it! That and that there's a thread on the subject here: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=88378&hl=cruise+ship+work"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=...ruise+ship+work[/url]
