Been thinking around this one myself. For the smaller gigs with not a huge amount of cables, I use cable ties to keep each cable seperate and a rucksack to haul them around. The extra rucksack pockets are handy for various connectors etc. If you get the larger rucksack, there will be enough space for mics in boxes For the slightly larger gigs, a Stanley mobile work centre has two compartments to seperate 240v power leads from other stuff. XLR cables can go around a drum, such as a small garden hose reel. This solution keeps things relatively seperate without the hassle of carrying around too many boxes, which take up space in the car

Do you want to keep playing with guitarists that don't listen to the music you're playing ?

Stadium Elites on my Goodfellow Rumour, they feed that on board eq quite nicely

Thread resurrection here Any more recent observations on guitars BC ?

MIne is Ziggy Stardust, listened to it last night. Great to see Hendrix, Deep Purple, Aladin Sane, Sheer Heart Attack and Quadraphenia coming up, all could easily appear on my list White Noise ! I'd almost forgot that one !

This being a family forum, I'll refrain from expressing my thoughts about Mustang Sally. Just to say the language is decidedly viking Safe to say that one will never appear on a set list that I'm responsible for ....

He has real respect from me, as he was there at the very beginning. I still play his basslines today as part of our set. RIP

Just thinking around this one. How does one tell what the problem is ? after all, in many cabs there's the crossover and tweeter as well as the main driver Is it possible the problem may be something other than the driver ? loose wire ? Just some ideas

[quote name='paul h' timestamp='1423228186' post='2682475'] I'm a terrible bass player, musician and person so I never even try to learn most bass lines! I much prefer making stuff up on the fly so I learn the chords (roughly) and then just throw in the odd riff reminiscent of the original to keep the rest of the band off my back [/quote] Classic

I'd imagine that TWO of them would probably be enough to deafen people across the road !

You could get in touch with WD music, they stock a good amount of bits n bobs. I've found them helpful in the past

[quote name='funky8884' timestamp='1423338807' post='2683747'] I had a play with this set up the other day and found the Crossover quite sensitive, I was giving the cab loads of level. Wish I had more time to mess about with it. [/quote] I'd imagine that does sound [i]rather[/i] tasty. Is it a monster sound ? and..... apologies for the gentle thread highjack

Bought a mesa head from Graeme, which arrived in it's original box from Mesa -it was like opening a brand new head straight from the manufacturer. I couldn't have been happier, the box was well wrapped and everything as good as you could wish for. Highly recommended Thanks again Graeme

Lots of photos of the project evolving please

It seems the zed 60 -14 and the soundcraft mixers don't have any monitor sends. Or am I missing something ? Is it the case that small mixers don't have monitor sends ?

Electronic drums have really worked well in the recent past. The decrease of on stage volume made harmonising vocals so much easier. Overall, it led to better individual performances and improved real time communication between musicians. That's on stage. Off stage- volume was more appropriate to the circumstances. Reality is, it led to more bookings for the band

Killer Queen is fun Oh, along with House of the King by Focus

I've used them for years, more so after the tinnitus kicked in. Even keep another pair in the car, as they really take the edge off road noise too. Custom moulded plugs do a better job, but they're a heftier price

Putting together a Bowie tribute band is on my bucket list Good luck with your project

[quote name='Maude' timestamp='1422300019' post='2670925'] The bridge may make a difference, it may not. Nobody watching you knows or cares, just get out there and play the damn thing. Spend the time saved not worrying about it practicing. Your improvement in playing ability will sound better than any improvement from a bridge. I try and convince myself that this is the best approach but I still spend hours fiddling with my basses regardless [/quote] Great post

If the current deal falls through, please do contact me Thanks

Your starter for ten..... Paul sold me a tuner which arrived in good condition, well packaged and protected with bubble wrap. Everything went smoothly and quickly, no hassle whatsoever. Recommended to BC Thanks Paul, nicely done Tom
