My Lekato WS-90s came without a user manual - has anyone got one they could scan/photograph and send to me?

(I realise it'll probably say 1. plug in. 2. turn on. but I wouldn't mind seeing if there's anything else I should know!)

 Im trying to give up alcohol (only two and a half weeks, but every day counts)

One day at a time, mate.

I bought some wireless IEMs from Paul - good price, fabulous item (exacty as described), quick postage and great communications throughout.

Deal with complete and total confidence!

Nice one, Andy - I'm in.

Good God, that looks like it's been through a war!

I LOVE it!

Sorry, but if you're in one band then that's it, you don't play in other bands.  Help out in an emergency as long as no one else minds.  Not enough gigs to keep you happy, get more gigs.  Wrong type of music, leave and join another band.  I think you get where I'm coming from.

What if you like playing more than one type of music?!

They’re all so busy with their other bands😬

I find it hard to believe that anyone's *so* busy they can't find an hour somewhere to look over some stuff they'll be playing live!

Unless their other bands are Dragonforce/Dream Theater tributes, in which case, I'd probably believe them!

Duplicate post

I'm in lots of bands/dep occasionally and the golden rule (as others have said) is:

If you've said yes to a gig and it's in your diary, you do it.

I've just had to turn down a well paid wedding gig as I'll be up in Manchester (playing for next to nothing - an old mate's originals band) next weekend. This gig was organised months ago, so I'm doing it.

If you start ducking out of gigs for better paid ones, people will quickly stop asking you to gig... you're only as good as your word.

Use Google calendar and encourage everyone else to - this makes everyone's life a LOT easier and cuts down the potential for oopsies in my experience.

As someone above said - if someone in your band is getting offered stuff like IOW festival.... that'd be a different matter.
I'd imagine they've made that pretty clear from the outset!

And as someone else said - get a few deps on board!

As for people turning up to gigs/rehearsals without having practiced... that's just laziness, surely?!

Yeah, you wouldn't want anything too OTT on a sparkly purple T'bird, would you?!

I've worked with a few singers I'd like to do that to!

Urgh I forgot how old everyone is on BC. If you are reading this site via ticker tape then I am 0.000319 leagues (5'9") and our singer is almost 20 hands (6'7").

What's the weight of the singer (in Kilderkins) please?

Yes and no idea!

Weekend report time!

 

On Friday night, playing with Nine Lives at O'Donoghues in Aberdeen.  A late one - 11pm-2am, and just as well because it was dead when we arrived to set up, not a soul in the place.  Ooft.  First half had quite the "paid rehearsal" feel about it, but it did start to fill up towards the end of the first half and into the second it was a damn sight better.  Curiously, at the break, this lassie came up to us, told us that she was on a work's night out, complimented us as a band (thanks!) then asked for our autographs!  Only the drummer and I were around at that time, but we played along and briefly felt more important than we actually are, lol.

 

Gear was Sire D5, then Squier Jag H (with Ibanez CAP double humbucker) into the usual Markbass ISO Standard bass player's rig...

 

 

But soft!  There's more!  This afternoon, we played outside on the back of a lorry at the Ellon Gala.  Second year we've done it, nice to be asked back.  It's a freebie - for the community, innit?  Makes me feel a little less mercenary.  Supposed to be playing at 4pm, well did a monsoon not chuck itself at the earth around 2pm?  We had to close the side tarp of the trailer, and feared the worst for the gig from a health and safety perspective.  Thankfully it rained itself out and the sun eventually burned through the clouds.  By the time we started, it was glorious again - god bless the Scottish weather, schizo as it is!

 

 

As you can see, gear was a delectable G&L Tribute SB-2 into the most boring bass rig in human history.

 

Noise making evidence...

 

 

LOVE the personalised pedalboard!

And they would ignore them too. This is where facebook gets their money, promoting scam sites.

To be fair, they also get their money from selling our data!

Meta must be fully aware of the issue, it's been going on for years, you have to conclude they value the revenue from scam ads more than they value protecting their users from scammers

There's a fine looking Ashdown combo on here at the mo

https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/512727-ashdown-abm-300-1x15-combo/

I have no links to the seller, but I have no doubt he's a fine upstanding fellow - he's a Basschatter.

Jo sold me some straplocks - an absolute pleasure to deal with from start to finish.
Diolch!

Well, I’ve been waiting outside this bar for the “Hot MILFS that want to shag me” for 3 days now.

I even sent them money for a taxi, but judging by the money they took it must be miles away!
