Surely the audience would have preferred 20 original orinigals , could you not provide that ? [/quote] Well we asked them if they wanted to hear our Lesbian Grime Rock set but they said they'd prefer the regular stuff, maybe next year.

leftybassman392 Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 (edited) Did you have all your cables carefully routed so you didn't keep tripping over them? Edited January 1, 2017 by leftybassman392 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deepbass5 Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 Thinking a band is more important than the disco !! who is top billing when it comes to room on stage or who ends up in corner of the room. Are the rules still It's who gets the gear out of the van first. BTW your photo shows you are taking up far too much of the dance floor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stingrayPete1977 Posted January 1, 2017 Author Share Posted January 1, 2017 Yes the dj ended up by the bar The dance floor is actually the other side of the pillar out of shot, we've played there twice now and tried putting the singer on the left and the right of the pillar, neither are ideal!

[/quote] It was a bit of jaunt so I didn't want to back, I'd rather get home later but only need to put the house straight the next day. Our ex drummer always left his kit on friday nights at an open mic we did last friday of the month at a hotel, he turned up just as the full englishes were being served up every saturday, no as stupid as he looked maybe.

thodrik Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 I would think that a big 'smiley face' EQ setting on a classic Gibson era Trace Elliot amp through mismatched 2x12 and 1x15 cabs from different manufacturers would be Basschat laws to be broken. Adding a bit of dirt from a Boss DS1 with no blend option would also be a great way to further diversify and enhance the sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scalpy Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 Did you play a calm opening number to break the crowd in gently or go straight for the jugular with an uptempo number? Both ways are wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deepbass5 Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 Don't go there Tim, I nearly got that anal I did get the gear out of the garage a to warm up and dry out prior to new year, checked any major items that evaded the PAT testing, also robbed the Christmas tree extension cable and had to switch off Bambi on the porch roof to be able to do the New year gig.
