Why is it always us who have to do the damn PA, lights, bookings and promo? Thats what I want to know!

I use a midi foot controller connected to an ipad running the dreamfoot app to trigger chord changes via garageband keyboards. Its not perfect but my band wouldn't know how to use click tracks. Its like a (very) cheap version of Geddys Moog pedals.

Great read! Beautifully written and fantastic photos, very professional. Makes me want to dig out my CL and 410 from under the stairs, such a waste.

They were the House PA and they did sound great. We use RCF's as our PA and they have also been fantastic

Like I said, I gigged them over the weekend and they sounded good. Came in properly sealed bags as well so I'd say they're legit.

As above, don't know if its been mentioned before. Just got a twin pack for 22 quid. Seems good value, gigged them last night and they sounded great. https://www.amazon.co.uk/DAddario-Bass-Guitar-Strings-Intonation/dp/B0006IQLG8?pd_rd_w=7YoFJ&content-id=amzn1.sym.6d8ed89c-516c-44b0-b8e3-62363d275168&pf_rd_p=6d8ed89c-516c-44b0-b8e3-62363d275168&pf_rd_r=6X4DHCR9V21VSXP4W7N5&pd_rd_wg=cdhbM&pd_rd_r=b4fa98a4-1ed4-4a18-9c5e-c6ae89039ca4&pd_rd_i=B0006IQLG8&psc=1&ref_=pd_bap_d_grid_rp_0_1_ec_pr_i

crank up a 300W ampeg SVT against a 300W class D and I assure you there will be a difference.

As per title, any bargains to be had at the moment? Looking for a fresh set. Ta!

Probably not a help but reaper is super easy to sync audio and video togeather (yes it does video editing as well), a lot less complicated than resolve (IMO). I do it with up to 5 cameras to one desk audio source at gigs all the time, its not complicated.

I very nearly thought about getting one, the ad is clever. Then I thought as others have said its too good to be true, dodged a bullet there.

That was a great description of gigs, perfect! We have a gig tonight in a fairly (for here) rough pub, lots of serious drunks but they have actually built a small stage for bands. It makes a real difference that they can't actually fall on your gear anymore ( happened a few times in the past at this place). Any pub that holds bands should have a small stage IMO, its not that difficult. They even have tables and chairs on it when there's no bands, so its not like they're loosing space.

Is it any good for metal?

Was expecting a dead pub tonight but was pleasantly surprised how busy it was. Some people actually caught the train to come and see us from the next town We havent played for a few weeks so again I wasn't expecting much but we played pretty well considering. Landlord and I swapped numbers for more gigs after March. I'll be asking for a little more in the fee. Still not sure I'm enjoying flats on my Jazz. They're heavy gauge as well so my hands are aching after a 2 hour gig, may have to go back to Elixr nanowebs.. No backline, bass to pedalboard (Laney Digbeth preamp) then to desk, in ear monitor and Porter and Davies KT Platform. Passed some guy half asleep in a hedge down a country road on the way home. Felt sorry for him and turned around but when I slowed down he suddenly sprang to life and tried to get in the back of the car without saying anything. Freaked me out so I took off. Called the police when I got home, hopefully they will find him and get him home but it felt sketchy at the time. Home for cheese and toast and a glass of vino, 1.20am.

when you have dozens of leads at 1am in a pub and you just want to get home, thats exactly how I do them, loosely..stops them getting tangled up in the leads boxes as well.
