Hello, hello, it's good to be back it's good to be back (no connection !) Suspect a lot of bass practice happened yesterday....

Worries about reduced road tax from fuel efficient cars ? then apply road tax to fuel efficient cars. It's not hard, it's straighforward and honest. It's also the way to go to garner any public support for further tax proposals.

[/quote] I have one of these and it's as close to 'that jazz' as I've ever found. I had issues to begin with about the whole road worn thing, would ponder how to tidy it up etc (I still may one day), but I play my RW Jazz and RW Precisions because they're just great instruments to play. They really are that good (for me at least). When I put them down after playing them for a gig, the whole relicing controversy doesn't seem to matter that much at all. In fact, I'm going to play it right now

Just a thought. Is it possible that certain areas of the church develop natural loud sound pockets ? lots of potential reflective surfaces ? If it's possible, it may be worth finding out where said person sat and spending a little time there while someone else plays your bass with the band playing too. Once you've heard what he did, you'll then be in an informed position about his comments. Also bearing in mind that there won't be so many people around if you try that exercise (unless it's another worship day).

Sounds like your sound engineer is not really considering the role of the bass or other low frequency generators here. If the engineer wants to use FOH subs like that, it would be to the band's advantage to have monitor foldback onstage for all the instruments that generate low frequencies, bass and drums included. Otherwise there will be competition for low frequency space, with all the problems that competition generates. Just my 2p.

There's an EUB up for sale here around £1400 if that's any help ?

Bill them for any damage that occurs while in their care. Ligit in other walks of life, what's different here ?

Grim thoughts when I saw Butlins in the title. Having read the post I suddenly want to be there ! Damn, that's a good line up

Recently bought some cables from Paul. A straightforward deal, no problems at all, As others here have said, Paul's easy to deal with and I'd recommend him too Cheers Paul and thanks Tom

Hi Chris, from the other side of the traffic jam

Thanks Paul, they'll make a nice addition to my fledgeling PA Pleasure to meet you Paul Cheers Tom

Yes Umph, I'd be interested to read a post about DIY basic maintenance

I used to play Tuba in the school brass band. The Eb being smaller, was the easiest to blow to a reasonable performance volume, while the larger Bb took a fair amount of practice to develop the lung power. I'd recommend playing the Tuba for any normally healthy person that wants to develop increased lung capacity. If you're a bit on the older side - have a health check first ! You can blow out a lot of carbon dioxide getting a Tuba going (and end up feeling quite light - headed). Fun instruments Tubas

I once saw a well known luthier doing just that trick. Only addition was a dusting of graphite powder to finish, worked a treat

Any piccys ?
